Chapter 5

Rayne sat there as scared as ever. Her heart racing and her palms sweaty. She looked down to the floor in the little office. It was very hard for her to say what she had to say. It was so silent that she could hear the clock ticking. She kept thinking to herself, when I hear the tenth tick then I'll speak. It was at the eighth tick and she couldn't even imagine her mouth opening; but she could easily  imagine running away. A heavy force stopped her from turning her head to look at Alex, who was already looking at her. Rayne took a deep breath in and Ms Monroe opened her mouth.
           "Rayne, what was it that you wanted to tell Alex?" Rayne finally gained her courage and spoke.
           "Alex, we've been very close lately and I'm liking you more and more everyday. I know that we're both really young and we have no idea what we're ready for. Your dream is to go to college and play basketball."
          "What are you getting at?" Alex said.
          "Just let me finish. In life, things don't always go according to the way we plan them. I'll understand if you want to take a different path then the one I'm about to put out."
          "What path?" Alex asked. He turned himself around even more in his seat.
          "The path of parenthood." After Rayne spoke those words Alex got up from his seat.
          "So that's why you've been so sick? Your pregnant?"
          "Yes."
          "Wow. I don't believe this." Rayne put her head down she started to feeling ashamed. Alex continued speaking.
          "Well then I guess we need to start adjusting to our new life." Rayne  lifted her head up and turned to look at Alex.
          "So you're in this with me?"
          "What kind of guy would I be if I wasn't? The baby is mine as much as it's yours." Rayne gave Alex a big hug.

         Outside of the office Rayne and Alex stood together in dead silence. Their thoughts were so similar that it was almost as if they were communicating telepathic. Rayne felt a tap on her back. She turned around and wasn't shocked to see Lee standing there. Lee magically appears anytime something is going too good or too bad.
          "Hey guys!"
          "Hi Lee." Rayne replies.
          "So I see you heard the news." Lee implies.
          "Yes..." Alex answered in hopes that she'll walk away as soon as possible.
          "Well just know that your making me godmother Rayne."
          "Excuse me I think it's Rayne's decision whether she'd want you to be godmother or not." Alex says in his rudest tone. He had never been so annoyed in his entire life.
          "And I think its Rayne's decision on whether she'd want shared custody or not."
          "What? Ofcourse I want shared custody. I mean ofcourse I want Alex in this baby's life period." Rayne says finally speaking for herself.
          "Yea...until he cheats." Lee answers.
          "Why are you being so negative?" Rayne asks.
          "I'm not being negative I'm just keeping it real."
          "No she's just keeping it stupid." Alex said.
          "If I'm not mistaken Alex, you and Harp had a good ol' time two months ago at that away game in Houston."
          "What?" Rayne says as she turns around and looks at Alex.
          "Lee you conniving bitch your the one that hooked the two of us up and that was before me and Rayne."
          "How come you never told me that Alex?" Rayne asked.
          "It was never a secret I would've told you eventually."
          "See Rayne! He is in no way fit to be a father. You'd be stupid to keep him around." Lee continues.
          "Lee shut up!" Alex yells. "Shut up and stay out of this!"
          "Lee can you just leave us alone for right now your making things more complicated." Rayne says.
          "Complicated?" Lee yells. "Oh so you guys are in high school about to have a baby and I'm the reason shit is complicated? Forget you two then!"

          As Rayne walks into the car shop she senses so much negative energy from the guys. Loud noises and eyes were all on her. She follows Ricky into the back office where his boss worked.
           It smelled like cigarettes and tar in there. Rayne tried not to take deep breaths. She knew that the toxins in that room weren't good for her baby at all. The boss sat with his office max chair facing away from his desk. Trying to look like the godfather or something. Rayne could already tell that she wasn't going to get along with him.
          "Mr Chenzo, this is my step daughter Rayne that I was telling you about." Ricky said. Mr Chenzo finally decided to turn his chair around and face them. He picked up his cigar from his desk and lit it up. Rayne watched in disgust all of the smoke that fogged up the room. He opened his mouth.
         "So...you'll be having the pleasure of working with us at our fine establishment." As soon as he said those words Rayne spotted a roach climbing up the wall.
          "Yea I guess." She replied. Ricky nudged her in the arm. "I mean I'm looking forward to it."
          Mr Chenzo started looking at her up and down with a sinister smile. He made Rayne feel very uncomfortable. She started covering her arms with her shoulders.
          "We can put you on sort of a secretary duty." He continued. "Answer all of the phone calls and sort all of our paper work."    
          "That sounds simple enough." Rayne says.
          "Great then you can start tomorrow." Said Mr Chenzo.
          Rayne and Ricky got into the car together stayed park for about ten minutes before driving. Ricky just had to get all the praise possible for getting Rayne a job.
           "So you say I'm not worth much huh Rayne?" He ask's her
           "I never said that Ricky-"
           "No! But you sure walk around the place like you do. Look now! This same worthless man just got you a job."
           "Yes I know thank you Ricky."
           "Your gonna be getting pretty big soon."
           "Yea and?"
           "You better make sure your body bounces back to the same way you got it now." Ricky starts stroking Rayne's waist. She flings it off.
           "And why is my body any of your concern Ricky?"
           "Because I want you to stay sexy."
           "It's official. Your a perv."
           "I'm a perv that just got you a job."
           Rayne stared blankly at Ricky. She wanted to see him for who he truly was instead of blowing off every thing he did to her.
           "Just take me home." She said.
           "Not just yet." Ricky pulled Rayne off of her seat by her collar and sloppily kissed her lips. Rayne punched Ricky in his chest but once again it seemed as if he couldn't even feel it. She tried pulling away but couldn't move. Ricky unzipped his pants. Rayne screamed into his mouth as her lips were trapped in wet slobber.  But the guys in the shop were deafened by all of the machinery they were using to hear her. Rayne was finally able to release her lips. She wiped them and managed to punch Ricky in his eyes. He let out a quick holler before grabbing her head and forcing it into his pants.
            She tried so hard to hold her breath as Ricky squeezed her nose holes together. She couldn't keep her mouth shut for longer as it faced the tip of Ricky's penis. Rayne let out a tear before giving in. She couldn't believe what was happening to her. She was help less.
