The Party That Got My Bad Boy

Chapter 6 - The Dilemma

Picture : Ruth 

Chapter 6

I dialed Gene’s number and waited eagerly as the phone rang. One ring…two rings…three rings…COME ON GENE. Then I finally heard her voice say “hahaha, stop it Peter. Oh hey babe, what’s up?”

“WHAT’S UP?!”

“Hey, if you want my help you need to calm down.”

“I met Tonie in the forest and got lost”

“Hahaha…okay tell me the REAL story”

“That’s it! Look once you get here…I’ve got something else to tell you”

“OHHHH a surprise…I love surprises” Gene said happily as she hung up. I prayed she was leaving right now. I sat down on a huge stone and awaited my rescuer. I played Angry Birds on my phone as I died of boredom and hunger.  I even started playing music in the back ground because the silence was creeping me out.

I killed the symphony really blocked out the soon to be nocturnal animals coming out to hunt.  Alright. Where the fuck is she? OH MY FUCKING GOD, IF SHE DECIDED TO MAKE-OUT SOME MORE. Once she saved me…I was going to kill her. I started pacing back and forth in the area I was in. I’d watching the time like a stalker and it had been a good three hours that I‘d been stuck here.

I was moments away from crying. Then I heard footsteps coming closer to me. I started backing up. And once I saw the bouncing red hair I immediately calmed myself. Gene had a big smile on her face and ran to hug me. I was SO glad to see her. “What’s the surprise?” Gene asked with pure curiosity. I looked at her with concern before saying “well its two things…and neither of them are actually good news.”

“…Go on…”

“Well first, Tonie called me out here to talk. I thought it was foolishly going to be an attempt at asking me out…”

“What was it?”

“He asked to be FWB (friends with benefits)”

“That cute dick head perv…”

“Ya and even worse, when I said no…he said he could have me anytime he wants…”

“What the hell does that mean?” Gene said confused. I shrugged my shoulders in agreement. By then we had walked out the forest and back to the parking lot. Then as we both got into my car Gene asked “what’s the second thing?” I looked down for a while. This bit of news was the harder part to say. But I wasn’t about to lie to my best friend.

We told each other everything…I couldn’t break that now. I sighed out hard before saying “okay…but for now, this news has to say between only us two…”   

“What about Talia?”

“Just you and me. This is huge…and we’ve known each other MUCH longer”

“Okay, I understand…go on”

“…Ruth is…she’s…pregnant…”

“WHAT!”

“I know it’s bad”

“She’s El Prego…oh wow”

“ya…like I said it’s huge. It’s gotta be just us two”

“Ya, I see why. DW, your secret is safe with me” Gene said with her legendary truth worthy smile. Gene didn’t like lying, so she won’t say something unless she meant it. I shoved the key in the ignition and turned it to hear and feel the roar of the engine. We drove off into the sun and to my house. When we got home I found Ruth in her bathroom puking her mind out. I had dropped Gene back home and I‘d thought Ruth would still be with Fraido. I ran to hold her back as she continued to cough out chunks. She glanced up and saw me, then slowly stood up and washed her mouth out.

She looked sad and hurt. Maybe it was because of all the puking. Then I asked the big question “how did he take it?” She put her hand over her mouth and sobbed out loud. I could tell that wasn’t good. “He was shocked. And he kept blaming himself…like it was his entire fault. Then he said that he needed some time to think…and that he’d get back to me…” she cried out.

“He’s not going to come back is he?” Ruth cried to me. I didn’t have any expertise in this kind of situation. My older sister wanted me to comfort her and I didn’t know how. I just hugged her and tried to say everything would be okay. But maybe it wouldn’t. Why was life so hard? I sighed and said “Ruth, you should tell mom”

“I know I have to”

“Well you should do it before we go to dad’s house”

“Fuck ya. He’ll kill me and then get some government agents to hunt down Fraido and kill him too” Ruth spoke out, “but ya, I’ll…Skype mother.” Later that evening I heard Ruth speaking to mother…who took this strangely well. Though I knew Dad wouldn’t take it so well. See even though my father lets us call him dad, he’s still pretty strict on the whole boyfriend situation…as all dads are.

That night I kept tossing and turning thinking about today. Once I FINALLY fell asleep, it was nearly 5:00am. I slept through most of Sunday, actually all of Sunday. I woke up at 4:45pm. I truly wasted a day…but it sure felt nice to sleep away my worries. I hated that I had no clue what to do about my life right now. One for sure was I had to kick Tonie’s ass tomorrow at school.

 And just as I hoped Monday came quickly. I crawled out of my warm soft comfy bed and cursed that it was already 7:00am. I starred up at the ceiling and practically cried out…in my mind. I finally got over it and took a shower. I combed my damp hair and got then did my make-up. Then I put on a black ruffled dress and ankle high grey boots.

I straightened my hair and spritz on some perfume. As I headed downstairs I saw Ruth still lying in bed. I stepped into her room and asked “you staying home today?”

“Ya, I feel so tired and I just can’t…deal with school today”

“What did mother say?”

“She wasn’t angry, but she says she doesn’t mind what decision I make on adoption or keeping”

“KK, well…I guess I’ll see you later” I said and went downstairs. Deep down I kind of wanted her to keep it. I kind of wanted to be an aunt. I chuckled at the thought of an adorable little baby living in this house. Once I got to my car I debated going to school. I mean maybe I should stay and help Ruth.

Then strangely enough I glanced down at my phone to see a text from Ruth saying “GO TO SCHOOL! I’m fine, sis” Creepy how she knew what I was thinking. I stepped on the pedal and listened to my big sister’s words. Plus I couldn’t miss today; I really needed to stick it to Tonie.

I let the wind blow through my hair and enjoyed every minute of freedom before walking through those hated school doors. I heard perverted whistles from guys, and I heard things I kind of wished I didn’t. Then I stopped at my locker and listened in on the Lacrosse’s talk about me.

“Wow is that Mikka…I’d hit dat” Josh gawked.

“Oooooo, she’s looking especially hot today” Lynel chimed in.

“SMOKIN!” Tyler yelled out…I knew that was for me.

“Fuck up bros, she’s all mine” Tonie said cockily. I groaned out. Fuck. He still felt that way. Well it was time to get taken. I hope someone hot notices me today…Tonie needs to learn he’s not so sexy.
