Worst Night Mare : Learning The Truth

Chapter 5 – Worst Night Mare: Learning The Truth

I sat in the pew, I was in the church right at the back other than me, the place was empty the only reason I could come here on Sundays was because neither Dad nor Jack worked on Sundays. “Hey big guy, I thought I should come for a talk. First of all, sorry for the no sex before marriage thing, it was drunk hormones well you were there.” I laughed at myself, licking my lips thinking of why I was here. “Suppose I really came to tell stuff. I am confused I still don’t know what Chad was going to say about Dan. I don’t know how to tell Jack and Dad, hey I don’t even know if I want to. I just want to know if you can help me.” I was met with silence like I knew I would, “I guess you got other stuff to do, just thought I would ask.”

I span round quickly when I heard a voice “Who you talking to?” It was Chad; he had a biking jacket on which looked just like the one Dan was wearing the day before. I pointed up “The big man” he nodded and made his way towards me. He slipped into the sit next to, “you come here too, huh?” I nodded. “Why do you come?” I asked him after we sat in silence for a while. “My sister.” I frowned at this and he looked at me “You don’t know?” I shook my head and he nodded “She has just recovered from cancer." My eyes widened and mouthed wow. “Yeah she was a fighter, they say it is gone but I still come and ask that God make that so.”

“I just can't believe that, she seemed so...” he smiled and nodded “Yeah, I know.” I smiled back. We sat again in silence “Chad, can I ask you something?” he nodded, looking back at me, “What were you going to tell me that Dan was?” he licked his lips and shuffled in his seat turning to face me slightly. “You can’t tell him I told you this he would kill me.” I nodded get slightly scared that it was bad. “Dan’s a virgin, well he was, obviously not anymore.” I was taken back, shocked even; no actually I was in pure shock. I was Dan, the ladies’ man, first. Wow. Now I think back knowing this information he was nervous, but didn’t register it because I was nervous myself.

“Please don’t tell him I told you.” I shook my head “I won’t, don’t worry.” he nodded and watched me closely. “You really didn’t know, did you?” I shook my head again, still trying to process this information. “You shouldn’t believe the rumours, hardly any of them are true, Dan is not some drug dealing player, he just doesn’t like to broadcast his life to everyone.” I nodded licking my lips, Dan Gill was a virgin before he slept with me, there was one thing I was now confused about though. “Then why did he sleep with me?” He frowned and turned to look at the front. “I don’t know you would have to ask him.” I nodded. Finding out the answer to one of my questions just seemed to add more questions. But before I could ask Chad any, the door that Chad had closed behind him opened to a crying Ann.

I stood up and walked over to her “What’s wrong?” I asked her as I pulled her into what I am sure was a much need hug. “I'm moving.” she said against the skin of my shoulder I pulled away so I could look into her tear stained face. “When?” I asked calmly, “Tomorrow.” I felt my eyes widen, talk about short notice. But when I looked down in to my best friends face I saw the truth; she had known she was moving long before now but she just hadn’t told me. “How long have you known?” she looked down at are feet. “Since before the party” I nodded “Why didn’t you tell me?” I was still surprised about how calm I was, aren’t pregnant woman meant to be all emotionally. “Because I wanted you to have fun at the party it was the first time you had been out in months. Then I kept finding excuses not to tell you, and then when I was going to tell you, you found out you were pregnant and I couldn’t bring myself to make the already crappy situation crappier then it just came to now.” I nodded and I hugged her again.

“I will miss you.” I said as we pulled away again, “We can text all the time.” I looked away from her then I heard her gasp “Oh right sorry, you don’t have a phone, we could email, you don’t have a computer I know I will write to you.” I nodded feeling a little pang in my chest that I didn’t have a phone or a computer but it was pushed to the side by the thought that my best friend was leaving.
