Vicky laid on Stan's lap as they laid on the porch swing that was on the porch of Stan's parents' eight bedroom ranch at Louisiana. Stan was wearing a black rounded-neck t-shirt with a checked red and black shirt whilst Vicky was in a red rounded-neck long sleeve with a pair of blue jeans and cowboy boots and a black choker on her neck. The night sky was beautifully speckled with stars and the wind blew a relaxing breeze. The porch had a yellow light bulb, a pot of chrysanthemums flowers and a series of flower and herb pots.
" I love you so much Stan", Vicky said as she looked into his beautiful face.
" I love you to but just that..."
" Just that what?" Vicky asked even though she knew exactly what bothered Stan.
" Just that we've been dating for eight months and we haven't yet..."
"Yet had sex? Is that what you wanted to say?"
" Yes Vee, what are we waiting for? We love each other so much. What else do we need?"
" But Stan I am waiting for the right time."
" What better time is right than tonight."
" What do you mean Stan?" Vicky asked out of obliviousness.
" Look Vee, your parents are out of town to go see your sick grandpa right?"
" Yeah"
"And your sister, she is gone back to campus."
" So?"
"So, we have your house to ourselves to have our first time."
" But Stan..."
"But what?"
"I'm not sure we should do this."
" Babe, this is the universe telling us to do it. Let's do it!"
" You sure?"
"Yeah Vee , let's do it"
Vicky gave out a big sigh and looked at the night sky and said, " really, should we do it?"
" Of course babe let's do it!"
"Ok", Vicky relaxingly said as she got up from Stan's lap and sat upright on the chair.
"Ok then, let's do it!", Vicky said with optimism.

When Stan and Vicky got to her parent's house, they headed straight to Vicky's room which was overly done with a great deal of pink all over the room, with her vision board which had multi-coloured sticky notes on it and her bed that was very huge and covered with a sunflower yellow duvet . Stan and Vicky entered the room kissing and Stan turned on the light and threw Vicky on the bed and kissed her all over. They undressed each other and had their first time.

" No, no Stan don't leave me alone, don't leave me!" , Vicky shouted as she chased after Stan who in turn was paying no attention to her words. He strode off to the porch where he told Vicky he wanted them to have their first time. Vicky ran to hold his left hand and she knelt by him with dewy eyes.

" No, no Stan don't leave me and your unborn child alone please don't!"
" Look Vicky", he said as he held her hand to help her stand. He then held her two hands and looked at her.
"I can't throw away this big scholarship just for you and this child."
"But Stan, you promised never to leave me alone!", she said with a tinge of sadness and anger in her voice.
" Yeah, I promised but I couldn't keep it. Sorry but I can't, really."
Stan then kissed her on her cheek , let her hands go and left her standing on the porch. Vicky stood there until he rode off and left her sad , angry and disappointed. Her then dewy eyes let go of the rivers that were being held back.
"Nooooooo!", yelped Vicky as she stood upright from her king-sized bed.
" Oh Fuck! It was just a dream."
She took her phone which was by her bed and checked the time.
" 1: 34 am"
" Urgh, that stupid question Alex asked gave me a post-traumatic nightmare.", she grumbled as she passed her hands through her blonde hair and then jumped out of bed and headed towards the kitchen for water. She entered the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and glanced through for a bottle of water. She grabbed the bottle and stepped out of the kitchen. As she walked on the corridor, she saw that Andrea's room was wide open. She walked through  the wooden door and saw her sister sitting wide awake on the bed with a pale face, red eyes and purple lips. Vicky walked with a mischievous smile on her face and sat by her sister.
" No, no stay a-way from m-me!", Andrea said panicking because of her sister's strange friendliness towards her.
"Oh don't worry, I won't hurt you. I've hurt you enough."
I just want to ask you something that's all."
" What?", Andrea shakingly asked.
" I know you've never liked me as kids but I want to know. When I got pregnant at eighteen and my boyfriend abandoned me, you were happy, weren't you?
" Nnoo, no, no,no , I wasn't happy at all."
Vicky out of anger held Andrea's jaw upwards with her long red nails and with an angry look on her face.
" Weren't  you happy when I had to be a year behind my mates? Weren't you happy when people came to Mama's house and will look at me with a face?"
" What face?", muffled Andrea.
" Oh You knew that face, That judgy face which always yelled " disappointment and disgrace" I swear you were happy when I was distressed, weren't you ?"
" No I wasn't"
Vicky let go of Andrea's face and used her right index finger to clean the beam of tears underneath her eyes.
" Don't worry Andrea, I am already paying you back for everything you have done to me. You are regretting what you did to me , aren't you?
" What did I do to you, Vicky that you hate so much?" Andrea shouted.
" Oh, oh you don't know? First of all, you were Mama and Pops' favourite. They called you their hope but they called me their disappointment. You were so smart , so you went to pharmacy but I was blockheaded so I had to go to business school. Everyone in the neighbourhood liked you but they loathed me for no reason. Aren't these enough reasons? You being mad and failing mentally is my handiwork. Don't you think I am smart, smart enough to make you handicap and take over you entire business empire. Who is the smart one now?"
Vicky left the room , banged the door and went to her room. She sat on her bed, opened the bottle of water and gulped it all in. She then placed the bottle by the bed and cleaned her lips. She laid on the bed trying to sleep but she couldn't stop thinking about the nightmare she had. She sobbed and sobbed until sleep took total control of her.
