Let It Burn

Chapter 4: Friends Don't, but I do

After he woke up Vince and the guys were taking pictures as they found Lucas duct tape to forklift high in the air with penis's drawn on his face, and adulterer on his forehead. His hands were even taped down with viberators. Apparently they even waxed off his eyebrows. It was awesome. "Ok enough fun Jordi get him down." They heard Avianna said as she was smiling standing next to Jordan who was whispering to her making her laugh harder. "Alright you sorry asses you heard her. Get dip nut down. Don't let him catch you with his hands either. Over there looking like Edward Happy Hands." He mumbled loudly making them all laugh harder especially Avianna as she snorted a little.

"OK guys I need two volunteers to go with Jordan for the rest of the week. Just the four days. Any takers." Vincent hand went straight into the air. "I'll do it." The guys looked around with odd looks. "I'll do it." Damien said as he and Dylan raised his their hands. "Damien go with him. Work safe you guys." This was the answer he was looking for. Thank you Jesus. He grabbed his things and went straight to work. This whole week he avoided being alone with Avianna and kept his conversations short. The plus side he did it without anyone being able to ask questions. Even texting he just turned his phone off or would give a one word reply.

After the week they all decided to have their family dinner at a restaurant that ironically was having a bit of a feminist get together is what it felt like. The group was just trying to enjoy a nice dinner but the women kept trying to get Avianna involved in the conversation which irked everyone's nerves. "Is the reason you are so cold towards us because you think we need to go back to our place." "Well honestly every single person at this table has nothing but respect for woman and letting us make our choices that work best for us. Aint that right men." She rallied happy.

"Damn Straight." "That's right." Yes ma'am." They all raised their drinks happily to Avianna happy roar. "Now that you mention it though I would like it if you returned back to your place at home though. We are trying to enjoy our night as well and it's not polite to drag strangers into your political talk. Avianna told them with a look that made some nervous. "So you have a problem with us bringing about women's rights?" "Absolutely not. I fully believe and agree with half of what you are saying. I just don't believe in shoving my beliefs down everyone arounds me throat." She shrugged.

"What do you mean you only agree with half of what we are saying?" One stood up and said. "Well take abortion for example. Me personally I would never have one. However I do believe that is a choice that should be made up to the couple. No the woman. Let's say a woman is raped, or her baby body or mind is not forming or the birth defects affects the babies life too much that should be up to discussion as the resources for that baby not be available for the parent or parents to handle that should be left to them." Every one looked around and agreed with her on those points.

"I don't believe you should only support abortion because you using it like a form of birth control. I believe with so many advances in birth control it is both partners responsibility to be on it and having safe sex if you truly do not want a baby. Don't just get rid of a baby because you didn't want to be on any type of birth control. There's a ton. Spermicide. Condoms both male and female ones. The shot, the bill, IUD SO many ways to use to be safe." The women were nodding along with her at this point.

"I don't think when you are in a good relationship with your new baby daddy that it is only your choice to get rid of the baby. I think if your man truly wants that baby even though you don't you should give him the baby. You both made that beautiful little life you should both get a say. I think if one parent wants the child you should give it to them. It's their child too." They all got a little worked up at that statement.

"Now see here's the part where a lot of you will disagree with me because I am a realistic feminist. I believe in TRUE GENDER EQUALITY! If a woman can use birth control to get rid of all her rights to that child. Then you should have a paper and law set up to allow a man the same exit plan. If he is against that child doesn't want it. He should be able to sign rights away without having to pay for that child. If women are using abortion as an easy out to avoid responsibility why can't a man have the same option. A lot of time men aint ready to have a baby either. I'm just saying look at both sides of a situation before major life choices get made."
