Breaking Free

Gabe

A/N Hey everyone, how was everyone's 4th if you live in the place of Eagles and freedom? mine was spent holed up in my room and when I was forced to come outside I blasted American Idiot on my speakers to annoy my neighbors and my dad's dad. My new name for Bailey is Carrot and she does not like it at all.

I quickly got ready before my parents came to pick me up. I had packed my stuff the night before so I didn't have to rush, I got a text from my dad telling me to hurry up while I was putting my jacket on.(A/N Sorry if this sucks, it is almost 3 AM and my sleeping medicine decided to work today.)

I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door, the halls were empty. My dad was waiting alone in the car, I got in the backseat because I didn't want to be close to him.

"Hey Dad. How a-are you?" I said as he started the car he drove off, he grunted. The rest of the car ride was silent other than the sound of our breathing. (A/N It is now the next day and I have rested.) The car ride felt like an eternity, I dozed off after about thirty minutes.

I woke up to my dad slamming his door shut, I looked around and saw we were in the drive (Mikey)way of my house. I quickly grabbed my bag and scrambled out if the car and into the house after my dad. In there I saw my dad's parents sitting on the couch, they didn't even glace up at me. I ran up to my old room to put my stuff away.

The room was exactly the same as how I left it, spotless except the unmade bed. I threw my suitcase next to the bed before flopping onto the mattress and taking my phone out. I checked to see if i had any texts from Matt, nope. I sent him a quick text before seeing that Haylee had texted.

I'm so sorry, Gabe. my parents told me to tell you We'll be over before 7. It read, I shut my phone off before getting back up. I walked across the hall to Emma's door, Inside she was playing with some stuffed animals.

"Gabe!" She ran up to me and hugged my legs.

"Emmie!" I said and picked her up. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed my nose.

"Matt here?" She asked innocently.

"Nope, your stuck with me." I spun her around causing her to giggle.

"EMMA! GABE!" We heard our mom yell for us, I moved Emma so she was resting on my hip and walked downstairs.

My mom was in the dining room talking to her parents that had just arrived. "Nana! Papa!" Emma jumped out of my arms and ran to them, They bent down to hug her. My mom's parents were really fun and laid back, unlike my dad's.

They stood back up and walked over to me and crushed me into a group hug, I awkwardly patted their shoulders. "How are you doing?" My grandad grinned.

"Could be better." I sighed. We spent about an hour talking with them and my mom, we were all giggling and laughing and I completely forgot about everything.

"You won't be so buddy buddy with him when you find out what he did." My dad had to walk in and ruin it.

"Why don't you just shut up and leave the boy alone, John." My grandma snapped, My dad snorted and walked out. "Seriously Lydia, when are you going to stand up to him." My grandma turned to my mom.

"Umm. I need to go and finish diner." My mom got up and practically ran out. I stood up to go follow her but my grandad pulled me back down and shook his head.

I was setting the table for my mom when I heard the doorbell ring, it had to be Haylee. I went into the living room and everyone was introducing themselves, Haylee walked up to me and wrapped her arms around me.

"Gabe, I am so so sorry." She whispered, I returned her hug. I saw my dad and her parents walk out of the room, presumably to talk about Haylee and I, they came back in about 30 minutes later. My dad was red faced and looked angry, that was never good. My mom called from the other room saying dinner was ready.

"So Haylee, how do you know Gabe?" Grandad asked at the dinner. Haylee opened her mouth to answer but my dad cut her off.

"Gabe here got her pregnant." My shoulders tensed and both sets of grandparents looked taken aback.

"Well.. It's nice to meet you." My grandma started to say.

"Is this how you raised your child, Jonathan? You taught him to knock up the first girl he dates like you did?" My dad's mom bitterly said, my dad flinched. The rest of the dinner was silent except Emma talking to herself.

My dad rushed everyone out of the house almost as soon as we were done eating, all that was left was us and Haylee's family.

"Gabe, I'm sorry." My dad said and looked me in the eyes, he looked sad before his gaze hardened. "We have decided with what to do with the situation." He sounded emotionless.

"Since you got my daughter pregnant you have to marry her, it's only right." Haylee's dad cut in, "We have arranged it to be in four weeks." All the blood drained out of my face.

A/N I have a few name suggestions for Gabe's baby. If I make it a girl then Skyler, Rosie or Alicia.(I like Skyler the best) And if it is a boy I have Brent, Zach or Jake. Oh and I don't think Bailey appreciates my fantastic jokes and innuendos. One more thing, Pokemon has completely taken over my life.
