26. you need a drink dude

"Get in the truck, Aves, now!"

"Okay, okay!" Avie pulled the door open frantically but gasped in pain when the edge of the door hit her belly, "Fuck." She bent over in pain, dropping the box that held the heating pad.

JJ ran around to help, not noticing what she did, "Avie, why did you drop-" He looked at her holding her stomach in pain, "Shit, what the fuck?" He quickly picked up the box and threw it in the back, lifting her into the truck.

"Mm," Avie squeezed her eyes shut as she moaned in pain.

"Sorry, sorry, we gotta go."

"JJ-" He slammed the door before she could finish, running around to the driver's side and bumping into his father on the way there. He quickly took a few steps back, "Dad, please, I-I have to go right now." His heart was beating a million miles an hour. He was less scared of being beat than he was of his dad finding out about Avie.

"How ya doin' son? Who ya got in the car?" He peaked in to see Avie holding her stomach as she leaned her head against the head rest, squeezing her eyes in pain. Luke squinted through the window.

JJ tried to pull his shoulder, "Da-"

"What do you got in there?" He turned to face his son, "That the same girl from last summer? What was her name," Luke tried to think, "Amy? No.. Uh let me see, Avery! Yes."

"Dad, please."

"You married or something?" He placed his hands on his hips and stepped closer.

"What? No."

"Why is she pregnant!?" Luke's fist connected with JJ's face, sending him stumbling back to hit the truck.

Avie didn't realize as she continued to hold her stomach and squeeze her legs together, the pain beginning to make it's way down.

"Sh-she's no-..Dad-"

Luke cut him off by slamming his son's head into the truck, "You wanted to end up the way I was!?"

"JJ!" Avie screamed as she snapped her head when she heard the banging against the truck.

"Huh!?" Luke took JJ by the neck of his shirt and slammed him into the truck again, "I am the way I am because of you, son! I had plans!"

JJ cried in pain, trying not to fight back as he knew Avie's family was watching her every step. He cried at his father's words. It wasn't JJ's fault. He didn't ask to be born to his teen father.

"And now look, you gonna turn out just like me!" Luke threw him to the ground.

Avie screamed to herself, trying to comfort her pain yet feeling helpless to her beaten up boyfriend. She couldn't bare the pain of stepping out of the truck.

JJ's anger grew when he realized he will turn out nothing like Luke.

"I am nothin' like you, Dad!" JJ kicked his dad's leg, causing him to fall. He let go of what Avie's family would think; this is self defense.

JJ got on top and took out all of his frustrations on Luke's face.

He stopped as Luke began to give it a rest.

JJ stood and breathed heavily, hovering over him.

"I ain't turning out anything like you."

Luke laid on the concrete as JJ gave him one last kick to his side. He got into the truck, started it and drove right away.

"JJ," Avie cried.

JJ looked at her quick, "Shit, Avie, what did you do?"

"I-I'm sorry I couldn't help you." She cried as she looked at him with her head pressed against the back of the seat.
