Drew's pov

I called Clyde about ten times already. She's probably just ignoring me. I can't stand her, but then again I can't live without her.

"Thinking hard?" My mom asks me. I shake my head no. "I like Clyde, but I have a girlfriend. She has a boyfriend. I don't think she likes me the way I like her." I say hoping my mom will share some words of wisdom. "Drew, if you don't fight for who you love, you're going to lose them." She says softly smiling. I nod, and start heading towards the door. "Drew dear." she says stopping me in front of the door. "Yea mom?" I ask. "Can you bring me back some ice cream?" She asks. I laugh, "Yea mom." "Oh and Drew?" She asks. "What?" I ask turning around. "Can you make sure it's chocolate malted crunch." My mom smiles sweetly. "Definitely." I respond.

I walked outside into the cool breeze and the bright sun. Walking down the sidewalk, I realized what a nice day it was. On my way, I tripped over a shoe. it was a size 7 pink Vans shoe. This was one of Clyde's shoes. In panic, I ran down the alley which the shoe was nearest to. Out of a tall white building ran a distressed small girl, that girl was Clyde.

"Clyde! Over here!" I yelled. Her head snapped in my direction, and she ran. Clyde was a graceful runner, she took long strides and barely touched the ground with each step. When she finally reached me, she embraced me in a hug. "God Drew, I was so scared. There was this crazy guy that smells really bad, but for some reason his breath smelled really good. We have to go, he's coming. " She spilled out breathlessly. She took off running backdown the alley. "Clyde! I have your shoe!" I yelled. But she didn't look back.

Nicole's pov

After Drew had left, I went over to my picture albums. I took the album of the summer after high school. On the first page was a picture of Grace and I smiling. It seems like so long ago. Then there was a picture of me and Mason. I wiped a tear away thinking about my dead brother. So much happened that summer, but it was the best summer of my life. I kept scanning through pictures until I got to a picture of Drew and I. We were in the meadow holding hands when Grace snuck up and took that picture. It was always my favorite picture of us. Drew died that summer, leaving me to care for his unborn child. I wasn't ready. I had just graduated high school, I wasn't ready for a kid. I loved him, and he left me. We were going to have a kid, and he died on me. I started sobbing, not caring that my mascara was running. I clutched the album to my chest and sobbed.

The worse thing was, he never knew we were going to have a child. He died not knowing, and it eats at me every day that Kira can't meet her real dad. Now 18 years later, Kira can't help but be bitter about not knowing her Father.

Thinking about children, I don't know how to tell Drew and Kira I'm having another one. I might as well get it over with. I walk to the bathroom and wipe the smeared makeup from my face. I take a few deep breaths and call for Kira.

"What is it Mom?" She says uninterested. "Honey, sit down." I say taking another deep breath. I wonder how she's going to take it. I'm scared for her reaction. "Uh mom..." she trails off. Now or never. "You'regettinganothersibling!" I shout out all at once. "What?" she asks. "You're getting another sibling." I say closing my eyes, hoping Kira will disappear. she gasped. "Oh my god mom! Ryan knocked you up?!" She squealed placing a hand on my stomach. "Kira Rose! Get your hand off of me." I said sternly. "But yea." I smiled goofily. She hugged me, "How many months?" Kira asked. "four." I smiled. "I thought you were just getting fat haha." she laughed. "Oh whatever, you brat." I smiled in relief.

That was easier than expected.
One down, two to go.
