Hiding From The Past

Chapter Three:

"What's the hurry?!" Michael pulls his arm back. "Nothing, you know how Tricia gets," I roll my eyes, "always talking about someone."

"Well, you've been acting strange? Is it that time of month?" He places his hand on my shoulder looking as if he understood what I was going through.

"No stop!" I move his hand off me. "Michael listen, if I tell you this... You cannot tell anyone! And I mean anyone ok?" I say. "Who the hell would I wanna tell anyways?" He shrugs. "Michael, me and Austin had sex" I blurt. "WHAT?!" He yells.

"Oh my gosh! Shut up!" I whisper yell. "How the- what the- sex?!" He whispers. "Yes for the last time" I roll my eyes.

"Damn... were you drunk or something?!" He says. "No you retard he seduced me" I say. "And you fell for it. What the hell is wrong with you?!" Michael says angry. "I don't know! I was so stupid! He's my brother!" I say.

"You're a slut, you know that right?" He says. "And I'm only being honest with you cause you're my best friend."

Dang, that hurt.

"Ouch Michael."

He shrugs. "Wait till everyone finds out. Ooh girl yo ass gonna get busted!" He yells. "Michael! You promised!" I say. "Damn chill, I'm not gonna tell anyone. But someone is gonna find out. And it's not gonna end well" he says.

"I know, I know. That's why we have to find Austin and make sure this doesn't go out."

"Find?! You idiot! Y'all live in the same damn house!" He yells.

"Yeah but I can't talk to him at home about it. My parents are always there" I explain. "Whatever. I'll find him" he says. "Okay... don't say anything you aren't supposed to Michael!" I tell him.

"Lil girl go somewhere! I ain't six for damn sake!" He rolls his eyes.

Gotta love Michael.

After Michael leaves I head to the cafeteria hoping to find some other friend I haven't talked to in a while.

"Ashley! Hey!" I shout. "Haley?! Man, haven't talked to you since... Freshman year?!" She says smiling. "Yeah, it's been forever. So... How have you been?" I ask. "I've been good" she smiles bigger this time. I look down and notice her stomach poking out like a basketball.

"Oh! This?! Yeah, I'm pregnant" she says happily. "Oh wow! Who- who's the father?" I say smiling sad and happy. "That's the thing..." She frowns. "What?..." I say worried.

"Your brother is..." She says.

"Oh my gosh... no."
