 ***************************

Aylin and Charlie were sitting beside Blake's bed, making small talks with him. He was still pretty weak and he couldn't talk much, but he was okay and that's all that mattered. "You remeber anything you were saying, while you were in coma?" Charlie asked. "Nothing. Have I said anything?" Charlie and Aylin exchanged a look. "You were talking... about... Ashley." Aylin started. "And then you apologized to her. Because you are apperantly falling for someone new." Charlie continued carefully. "What? Who?" Blake felt embarassed. He looked out of the window and saw Nellie talking to doctor. "I don't know." Charlie laughed. "That was veeery strange. I mean, come on. You said, you don't date. You just hook up." Charlie and Aylin were laughing. "Yeah, who's the special girl, you are faliing in love with. Maybe you were thinking about Pamela Anderson." Aylin laughed again. "Eva Mendes!" "No, no, Adriana Lima." "Or Angelina Jolie." "Okay, we should just stop, we are rude." They were still laughing. Blake smiled lightly as he looked at Nellie through the glass again.

"We need to find out as soon as possible." Michael led Shanna to the store. "I will wait and you buy that shit." Shanna gulped and entered the store. She found pregnancy tests and quickly took five of them. "Can I help you?" A very judgemental woman appeared behind her. "No, I'm good." Shanna said quickly. "How old are you anyway?" She heard the voice behind her again. "I'm nineteen and they are not even for me, so don't judge." Shanna said sharply. She quickly paid and ran out of store. She and Michael drove to Shanna's apartment. It was empty and they were so relieved. "Wait here." Shanna said as she went to the bathroom. Michael's heart was pounding. He wasn't ready this. He still had school to finish and he doesn't even love Shanna that way. Well, he wasn't sure about his feeling towards Shanna, but still... "What do I feel towards her?" He thought as he felt sick in his stomach. He felt dizzy and weak in his knees. "Shanna, have you finished?" he exclaimed. "Come in." she answered.

Aylin and Charlie left, so Nellie was left alone with Blake again. "What happened yesterday anyway?" he laughed. "Oh, shut up. My head is still pounding." "You came all the way here? From Abraham's house? By yourself?" Nellie nodded. "Why?" "Because..." Nellie started: "...Because I care about you, Blake." She whispered quietly. "Nellie..." Blake squezeed her hand lightly. "Can I tell you something?" Nellie nodded her head yet again. "You told me your story before, now it's my turn... I grew up in the family. And my dad was abusing my mom. He was screaming at her, offended her so many times... He even hitted her once. We didn't have much money, so he even..." Blake siged and his voice cracked: "...He was... Selling my mom. She was kind of... A prostiute." Nellie opened her mouth. She felt tears streaming down her face: "What?" "Yeah. My dad commited suicide, when I was twelve. He had a lot of money, but he was... Stealing. So they wanted to put him into a jail. He just... Killed himself, Nellie. He was a coward. And I needed to be the man in the house since then. My and my mom moved in New York. She wanted to start new life, but she never had luck in love. It was a dark time in my life. I was depressed, sometimes I wanted to end everything. Just like my dad did. But I needed to be strong for my mother. I loved her more than anything. And than,... I met her." his voice craked again. "She's the only person, I told her that. Besides Michael and you." "Ashley..." Nellie whispered. "You really loved her." "I loved her to death." Blake cried. He actually cried. They both did. "What happened?" Nellie sobbed. "I didn't know, what I had. I never knew, how to treat women. My dad was horrible to my mom and I never found out, how to treat women right. When I was younger, I never had my role-model. She left me... And than I became, who I am now. Horrible person. I used dozen of girls. Just slept with them and left them afterwards. I don't want to become my dad, Nellie." Blake whispered. Nellie hugged him: "Blake, I'm so sorry to hear that."

"Come in." the words echoed in Michael's head. He opened the bathroom door and Shanna was standing there. Michael gulped and asked her with shaky voice: "So?" Shanna breathed: "I can't believe it." She looked at Michael as she smiled: "They are negative." Michael felt a huge weight rolling off his shoulders. The world suddenly changed. He could beath again normally, his heart was beating normally again. He ran to Shana, lifted her and they hugged so tight, Michael could feel his bones cracking. But he didn't care. All he cared about right now was him and Shanna together hugged tight. And the Earth stopped rotating. And the birds stopped singing. And people stopped rushing. And the time had stopped. The world was just theirs. Michael kissed Shanna's lips hard and he carried her away, placed her on the couch as they fell asleep in each others arms.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Aylin asked as they were laying in Charlie's bed. "I didn't have guts. I was afaird you will look at me diferently." "Charlie, you are my first. My first kiss, my first boyfriend, the first guy I slept with... And we are stronger than ever." she whispered. "I was ashamed, Aylin, you need to understand." "I do, but my point is that that's nothing to be embarassed about. There are millions of people, who have that." "You don't understand. That's why I didn't want to tell you." "What do you want from me? I'm supporting you, Charlie!" "Yeah, but you don't UNDERSTAND why. That's the catch." "No, you are right." Aylin stood up. "I really don't understand you sometimes. I think you don't understand yourself as well. I will go now." Aylin walked towards the door. "Where are you going?" Charlie stood up. "I just some time for myself, okay? I will call you tomorrow morning." "Is there something worng?" "Oh my, I just said I need some time for myself. I will go to the store or something." Aylin said, clearly annoyed. "Bye." "Bye." There was something wrong.Charlie felt that. Was he pushing Aylin too much? Was he too rude to her? Fuck. Wait, was this their first ever "fight"? Charlie was overthinking. "Was it our last?" he whispered.
