***The Bonfire.***
Tammy waved at a group of people and they nodded at her.
"So tell me about this guy you've been seeing." I nudged her with my elbow.
She chuckled. "The first time I met him I yelled at him and told him to stop being a bitch."
"What'd he do?" we stopped by the keg and she filled up a cup.
"Want one?" she looked up at me.
"No, I'm okay."
She nodded and we started walking. She took a sip of her beer and looked disgusted at it. "What kind of keg is this?" we walked by the truck of her brother and she tossed the cup in the bed of the truck. "Anyway. I was going out of my dorm with arm-fulls of books and he runs strait into me and we fall down. He looked at me like he thought I was crazy and scoffed at me. So I was like, "watch where you're going bitch." and he just stared at me while I picked everything up. And then a few days later he runs into me again but he helped me and then he apologized and we have been dating ever since."
I nodded. "Wow."
She nodded also and someone put their arms around our shoulders and stuck their head between out shoulders. "Hey, ladies, haven't seen you in a while."
We rolled our eyes. "Travis, shut up and go away." I sighed.
"Aww come one." he smiled. We stopped walking and just sat where we were. The bonfire was a few yards away. "So Alex, what do you say to dinner and I movie tomorrow night." he asked.
"I'm married stupid, stop hitting on me." I rolled my eyes. I held out my hand and showed him my ring.
"Damn. Wait, when did you get married?"
"About a month ago." I leaned back on my hands and watched the waves.
"Where's the dude?"
"His name is Drew and he is away on business."
He raised an eyebrow. "Business?"
I glared at him. "Travis, don't start your shit now because I will kick your ass. Got it?"
He looked innocent. "Sure what ever you say."
I sighed.
"You're such an idiot." Tammy glared at him.
"Get over it." Travis rolled his eyes.
"How were we ever friends?" I asked.
They both shrugged.
A group of girls walked by and Travis jumped up and waved at us before walking with the girls.
"He is such a pig." she shook her head and sighed.
I nodded. "I agree."
****Home.****
I fell onto my bed and turned the TV on. I fell asleep in my clothes.
A door slammed and I jolted awake.
I could hear yelling and I got up and closed my door.
I went into my closet and sat in the floor, trying to drown out my parents fighting.
My dad doesn't usually hit my mom, only me. He takes everything out on me. The only time he hits her is when she isn't telling him something.
Someone knocked on my door and I slowly walked out of the closet and opened the door.
My dad was fuming and holding a pregnancy test. "Take it." he growled and shoved it at me. "Bring it downstairs when its finished." he walked downstairs.
I went it the bathroom and took the test. When I was done I put it on the counter and went in my room to wait.
10 minutes later I went slowly back into the room and picked it up.
Negative.
I beamed and let out a breath of relief. No one is going to get hurt.
