Give me a reason

Nice girls finish last.

Lyndsey looks at Jeremy, worry spreading every inch of their faces.

"Well, go one then, what's wrong?" His dad edges Reece to continue.

He looks over at me for reassurance, I look down, laying my forehead on his shoulder.

"We don't have to tell them." He says so quiet I could barely hear it, into my ear.

"Yeah, we do." I whisper a response.

He exhales and then sits up.

"Mum. How old were you when you had me?" Reece asks.

I loft my hear up to face them.

"16, why?" She scrunches her perfectly done eyebrows in confusion. Starting to drink from the water bottle that's sitting on the little coffee side table.

"Alright so I guess you can't be mad when I tell you that Noni's pregnant."

WHAT?! I WAS EXPECTING HIM TO EASE INTO IT. JUST JUMP INTO IT LIKE A PROFESSIONAL SKYDIVER.

"What?!" His dad shouts standing up.

Lyndsey spits her water everywhere.

"What?!" She shouts also.

"I said she's pregnant." Reece responds easily.

"We heard you." Lyndsey snaps.

"How could you be so stupid?!" Jeremy full on screams.

"We told you this was going to happen if you didn't watch what you were doing!" He screams harshly.

"Okay, just calm down." Lyndsey tries to calm him down by placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down?!" He laughs

"You have ruined your entire life!" He shouts speed walking to Reece, grabbing him by his collar, ripping him on the couch viciously. Stepping to the side he slams/pins Reece up against the wall. Holding his a few inches off of the ground.

"What were you thinking?!" He screams in his face.

"I was thinking that I love her!" Reece shouts.

"You don't know what love is! You're 16 years old!" He shouts.

"I know more about it than you do!" Reece struggles to get out of his dads rock solid grip.

Jeremy let's go of Reece, he falls to his feet, Jeremy swings his hand back, and when it was ready to launch it was a cold hard fist. He punches Reece right in the jaw. Knocking him onto the floor.

"Stop!" I shout, Lyndsey pulls Jeremy away from Reece.

"You don't understand!" Jeremy yells over Reece, lying holding his jaw. Stepping out of Lyndsey's grasp.

"Understand what?!" Reece screams from the floor.

"Noni is not on the same level as you! You're going places! She's not a wife! She's a whore!"

Wow.. Thanks.

"Jeremy!" Lyndsey shouts

Reece springs his leg up, slamming the top of his foot in between his dads legs.

Jeremy falls to the ground.

"Don't." Punch.

"Say." Punch.

"That." Punch.

"About." Punch.

"Her." Punch.
