A Life On The Edge

Getting Caught

"Troy?" I was in shock. There he was standing in my doorway wearing everyday cloths. "Oh my god!" I gasped. The sun hit his blond hair casting an almost halo over his head. That smile on his face was so wide I almost thought it was painted on.

"We can hug without getting yelled at." He chuckled. "It's okay." He held his arms out and I about threw myself at him.

"I can't believe you're out!" I cried. "How?"

"When Sadie...you know...she wasn't around to bully police into holding essential evidence from my lawyer. He proved I was wrongly convicted. I was out by morning."

"I can't believe it!" I touched his face just to make sure he was real.

"I know. Me either."

"How long have you been out?" I gasped still shocked to see him free.

"I got out yesterday. Went home to see my sister and my mom. Then I saw Max. And..."

"Sorry to interrupt." Dylan mumbled. "But this is kind of important." He said holding up the phone. "It's Blake." I took the phone without missing a beat.

"Hello?"

"We have a situation."

"Huh?"

"Well I came over last night as you know and I was about to take care of the job when Jennika drops this bombshell on me."

"What?"

"She's pregnant." I paused and looked around the room. Lyle had walked out of our bedroom to say hi Troy. I walked out to the back door and onto the deck.

"That's a fucking a lie." I growled. "Did you let that bitch go because of that?"

"No. That's actually why I'm calling you." I heard the door open and turned around to see Dylan. "I told her I didn't believe her. She told me she was going to get her ultrasound in the mail today. She said she'd have proof if I gave her till morning."

"She's going to flake on you and leave."

"I spent the night."

"Well aren't you smart."

"Yeah Bella wasn't too happy about it but what can you do."

"So what did you find out?"

"She's pregnant Riley." I froze.

"Fuck." I grumbled.

"What's going on?" Dylan asked.

"Jennika's pregnant."

"What the fuck?" he gasped.

"What do you want me to do Riley?" Blake asked.

"Where are you?"

"Right now I'm eating a bowl of cereal holding this bitch at gun point. She's making me pancakes."

"Are you serious?" I scoffed.

"Dead ass. Say hi you little slut."

"Hi Riley," I heard the tremble of fear in her voice. "I'm sorry please forgive me. Don't kill me. Don't kill my baby."

"Shut up bitch!" Blake barked. This is so fucked.

"Did you at least find out everything she knows?"

"Yeah, she doesn't know a whole lot. To be honest I think she's holding out on me. I was kind of holding back. I didn't want to get too extreme just in case we want to keep this bitch around." He explained slurping his cereal in my ear.
