I unscrew the cap on my bottle of Vodka before pouring some in my empty water bottle until it's full
I screw the cap on the vodka bottle before shoving the bottle of vodka back in my couch between the cushions
I take a quick swig of my water bottle before putting the cap on it and dropping it in my bag
"Ry." My dad calls from the other side of my door as he knocks and I walk over and open the door
"It's just us this morning, so no big spread. Is cereal, okay?" He asks
"Monty brings me breakfast in the mornings anyway." I say
"Did Clay come in here last night? It smells like Vodka." My dad says
"Uh..it's called perfume dad." I say as I brush past him and I hear Monty honk his horn from outside
"Gotta run." I say as I jog down the stairs and out of the house
"Shutterbug!" Monty says with a big smile as I climb in the passenger seat
"A breakfast burrito this morning." Monty says as he hands me the burrito that's wrapped in tinfoil
"Ooh. You're starting early today." Monty says as he sniffs the air
"Shit, you really can smell it?" I ask with a small laugh
"My dad could smell it a minute ago." I say as Monty drives away from my house
"Your costume looks good, Woody." I say changing the subject
"So does yours,...Jessie." Monty says with a warm smile
*1 Hour Later*
I walk into the yearbook room and I see Tyler and Ryan and a few other students who are in yearbook
"Just the girl I wanted to see." Ryan says with a big smile
"What can I do for you?" I ask
"I need you to pick out a couple pictures of Jeff for the tribute issue." Ryan says
"You got it." I say as I pull my water bottle from my bag before taking a swig of vodka
-Later That Afternoon-
"Okay, everybody. Drumroll, please." Courtney says into the mic before the students give a drumroll on the bleachers
"Tight race, you guys, but I think we've narrowed down our finalists. We're gonna choose the winner by applause. The costume with the most applause takes home 200 smackers, so..." Courtney says trailing off
"Genie?" She asks and the crowd claps
"Mud divers!" She says as she points to Alex, Zach, and Bryce and the crowd cheers and claps
"Sexy punk rockers?" She asks as she points at Jess and Justin who are clearly Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungeon
"Orrr...Woody and Jessie?" She asks before the crowd roars and claps as Monty grabs my hand and I do a spin under his arm
"Andy's coming!" Courtney shouts before Monty and I fall to the floor and the crowd cheers some more
"Okay, okay, okay." Courtney says as Monty and I get up out of the floor
"Ladies and gents, I think we have a winner! Montgomery and Rylee as Woody and Jessie from Toy Story!" Courtney says and the crowd cheers
"Whoo!" I say excitedly as Monty wraps his arms around my waist and lifts me off the floor for a brief second before he sets me back on the floor and releases me
I look up and realize our faces are millimeters from each other
I clear my throat and step away from him as all of our friends surround us
-Later That Night-
"I'm glad we decided not to go to Bryce's." Monty says as we lay in the grass in an open field on the side of the road and we stare up at the stars
"Me too. This is...this is the quietest my mind has been since the accident." I say softly
-Flashback-
"It's positive." I say in almost a whisper as I hand the test to Jeff
"We're havin' a baby." He says with a warm smile as he looks up at me from his seated position on the side of my bed
"You don't have to do this. You can go. This doesn't have to mess up your life or your dreams of playing baseball prof--" I start
"Stop it. We are in this together, baby girl. This is our baby." Jeff says as he kneels down so he's face to face with my stomach
"Hi, little guy or girl. This is your daddy speaking. I already love you so much." He says to my stomach
"And you have the most gorgeous mother in the world." He adds as he looks up at me with a big smile
-Flashback Over-
"Shutterbug?" Monty asks as I sniffle before I begin sobbing
"Hey. Hey, what's wrong?" He asks as he turns over on his side to face me
"Fix it, please." I beg as I sob
"Fix what?" He asks
"Me." I say before he pulls me closer to him
"It never stops hurting." I say as I sob into his chest
"I would destroy myself if it meant I could fix you." He says softly as he pets my hair
