Detention (The-Breakfast-Club)

43

When it was time for lunch I decided to sit in the back at my old booth. I felt like alone time was best. I haven't seen John since this morning and It worries me. What did Vernon say to him?

"Care for company"? I heard Allyson ask.

I nodded as she sat down. "How's it going"? She asked.

"The baby is 6 weeks today". I smiled and slowly pulled out sonogram picture. Ally hid it a bit as she looked at it.

"Oh my goodness". She squealed and came to my side of the booth.

"I know your dealing with a lot but I can't wait to meet him". She giggled.

"I'm betting it's a girl". I smiled.

"Well hopefully she takes after you then. I can't imagine a female version of John". She laughed.

"Thank you for helping me. I wouldn't know what to do without you". I smiled and wrapped my arm around her for a hug.

"Well don't get all lovey with me now. I may have told Andy about it". She bit her lip.

"Ally, no". I wined and I'm seconds Andrew Clark was standing at the foot of the table.

"Hi mom". He smiled and sat down.

"Dont be weird please". I begged and get put his hands up.

"I get it. No more weirdness. How's John? He seemed off in social studies"?

Good. He was still here.

"Vernon got to him this morning. I haven't seen him since the appointment". I sighed.

"He went with you? That's amazing". Ally smiled.

"Yeah. He's really nervous so can you guys not make a big deal if you see him. He's still taking it like a grain of salt". I mentioned and they both agreed not to make comments.

When I saw him walk into the cafeteria he seemed lost. I felt horrible for how this is affecting him and I didn't know what to do. He walked over to our table and sat down next to Andy.

"Hey I have a meet this Friday for the last of my senior year. You guys wanna come"? Andy asked.

"I have stuff to do. I might have to give you a rain check". I sighed and opened my bag of grapes.

I looked up to see John staring at me, slowly reaching over to grab a grape. I gave him a smile and handed him the bag.

"I'm helping Kylie". He spoke.

Small steps, that's all we can do.

"Okay, no problem. I'll ask Brian and Claire". He smiled and gave Ally a kiss as he climbed out from behind John. Ally cleared her throat and got up after him.

"I have an art project due. If you need me I'll be in the art room". She smiled and with that we were alone again.

"I didn't tell you yet today but you look beautiful". John spoke as he got up and came to my side.

"Thank you. I needed that". I smiled.

He went to give me a kiss but stopped himself and cleared his throat.

"If its okay with you. I would like to take your parents up on the offer of moving in. I left my house the other night, took all my stuff". He sighed.

I didn't want to push questions on him, that clearly explains the bruised lip. I agreed and took another grape.

"That's okay with me".

He stood up and grabbed something out of his back pocket, handing me his wallet. "I added something". He smiled and walked off.

I giggled and opened his wallet to see one of the sonogram pictures inside of the picture book, next to my school picture and the group of us in detention. John cares, he just doesn't like to show it. I closed the wallet and hugged it as I smiled. All we need are smaller steps to make this work. Eventually things will fall back into place.

I made it home to see John's car in the driveway. I walked in to see him watching the game with my dad.

"That was a trick shot"! He groaned. Basketball, very odd to see him watch anything but death metal music videos.

"Hey that right there shows sportsmen ship". My dad chuckled and they cheered their drinks.

I walked into the kitchen to see my mom cooking dinner, something she started to do more of lately. I set my bags down and she turned to look at me.

"Good you're home. I have been busy all day. I got you some books to read about pregnancy and what to be expecting during it. Since your at your six week mark there are alot of important things in there. I also set a catalog on your bed to look for clothes. If you can't tell im excited". She smiled and turned back to the stove.

What kind of nightmare was this?
I walked up the steps and made my way to my room. John's stuff was in bags in the hallway. I smiled and set my things down on my bed as I grabbed one of the empty bags from the floor. If we were going to make this work I needed to show him support. I opened my closet and threw things out that I never wear anymore, along with things in my dresser. I dragged one of John's bags in at a time and started to fill things up with his things. I want him to feel welcomed, and to let him know I still love him like crazy. Once I got through one bag I attempted to grab another one but he stopped me.

"What in God's name are you doing"? He chuckled.

"Moving you in. If you don't like that idea I can take everything out. I don't want to push anymore then I already have".

Without warning he picked me up and carried me to the bed, minding my stomach as he laid me down. He hovered over me and smiled. This was the closest we have been in days. I miss his touches.

"I would have gotten it sweets". He smiled and leaned in slowly, placing his lips on mine.

Wow, I even get a kiss.

I got lightheaded from the kiss as he pulled away quickly. "Damn did I miss those things". He hummed and kissed me again.

I lightly pushed him away as he groaned. "We can't go over board here". I smiled.

"True. I can wait. Maybe". He smirked and gave me another kiss.

"I miss you". I whispered, playing with the pin on his jean jacket.

He stared at my lips and gave me a smile. "I didn't go anywhere sweets". He grinned.

"We both did for a moment. I just want you to know that I'm trying"

He nodded. "So am I".

"So. What did Vernon say to you"? I blurted.

He nodded, like he knew it was coming. He laid down and pulled me to his chest. "Surprisingly he asked if I was okay. He told me that if I needed anything to let him know". He sighed.

That was different, especially coming from Vernon himself.

"He also told me he would knock my dick in the dirt if I hurt you in anyway. Something along the lines of you're to pure for me to ruin". He smirked.

I looked up at him. "You believe that"?

He shook his head. "If you were pure like everyone thinks we wouldn't of had sex in the first place". He joked and I poked his side.

"Shut it Bender". I smiled and kissed his chest.

"I love you". He whispered.

"And I love you".
