Chapter 10

Everyone's jaw was dropped in shock. "What are we going to do?" Wes finally managed to say. "yeah.... Jenny.... are you ok?" Laura said, her eyes widend. I then, without thinking, I clutched onto my stomach, and leaned all the way to my side, about to fall. luckily, keaton caught me before I made it to the floor. Everyone gasped. "dude, do something." Drew said to Keaton. "Jen, it's ok, here, I got you." Keats picked me up gently and ran upstairs with me in his arms. he took me into the bathroom and sat me down on the edge of the bathtub. "you ok? how do you feel?" he asked, and he rubbed my back. "terrible. sick. ugg....." I moaned. then after that came more groaning. "uh oh," I mumbled, then quickly leaned over the trash can. "here this will help," Keaton grabbed all of my hair and held it behind my head with one hand, and continued to rub my back with the other as I threw up, feeling like I was going to lose all my insides. "it's ok babe, I'm here." he reassured, and I finally was done and fainted into his arms, falling off the bathtub.

By the time I had gained consciousness, I was laying on Keaton's bed, him laying next to me awake, staring strait up at the ceiling. he turned noticing I was awake. "oh Jen, what's up?" he said. "I feel better that's for sure. how long was I blacked out?"

"About 20 minutes. you ready to go downstairs? I bet everyone's worried about you." he told me. "ok, help me up Keats," I said and he got up then offered me his hand, so I grabbed it and forced myself to stand. I kept hold of his hand, as we walked out his door. When we got down, everybody quickly turned and looked at us. "oh Jenny, what happened? we were worried sick about you girl!" Laura said with a somber look on her face. "Oh, just morning sickness Laura," Keaton answered because I just couldn't.

As I just stood there, hand in hand with Keaton in front of them, I glanced over at the big mirror on the wall. I was pale, drained, and my eyes looked dark. my hair was all over the place, and I could tell I was slightly shaking. Keaton looked at my face, and a sorry expression came across his face. "I'm so, so sorry." he whispered. "it was my idea to do that in the first place,"

"It's not your fault, it's nature's. but its ok I guess.... but you haven't seen the worst of my pain. I'm going to be even more soon," I wispered back in a shaky voice. "come on guys, lets go to the beach. I need to get out and get some fresh air." I said to everyone and they nodded. we went back to get dressed, and I also went to get cleaned up too. when I took my shirt off to change into a bathing suit top, I looked down at my stomach and thought to myself, enjoy this flatness while it lasts, it's not going to stay for long. when I got completely dressed and brushed my teeth, I came out of the bathroom and met my peeps at the door with my bag and more dignity, knowing looking like this, people are going to stare. We then packed the boards in the trunk, and left to the beach.

"Keaton," I said randomly as we drove down the road. "yes baby?" He looked at me. "it's not your fault, you know that right?" I asked, grabbing his hand. "but Jen, I-" I interrupted him. "no buts, it's not. just remember that ok?" I told him and he gave me a quick kiss on the lips and I smiled.

"I'm hungry," I said as we pulled into the parking lot. "here Jenny I have chocolate in my purse," Laura said, handing me two pieces of Dove chocolate. "Yay!" I squeaked and happily unwrapped it. she laughed and we climbed out of the car, grabbing the surfboards. keaton didn't bring his so he could stay on the shore with me I guess, because it wasn't there. "Keats, you don't want to surf? you'll skip anything for a chance to go surfing baby," I said. "yeah, anything except you Jen," he inquired and I gave him a big hug. "thank you."

We walked out onto the sand to find a good spot to set our stuff down and Drew, Wesley, and Laura went into the water with the two boards. Wes was going to teach Laura how to surf today, isn't that sweet? they're so cute together. Keats and I layed down in the sand looking up at the pretty, blue sky with a few white puffy clouds after I took off my cover up revealing my new bikini I got yesterday. it was navy blue, with white polka-dots, and red ruffles along the top with white dots too. it was my favorite by far. "you look beautiful in that Jelly bean," Keaton said, looking me up and down. "thank you boo bear. and also, soon I will actually look like a jelly bean," I said and he laughed as I put sunscreen on myself. "I'm glad you can find humor in our crazy situation we've got here," he said and I agreed. "yeah, I try to be positive babe," we snuggled up next to eachother and waited for the three to be done in the water. we talked about when we were little, and that occupied us. he put his headphones in his phone and we listened to Death Cab For Cutie the whole time, which was probably 2 hours.

"Hey, lovebirds," It was Laura. "Sup girl," I said squinting at the sun as i looked up at her. "Uh, Wes and Drew are gonna catch a few more waves then were going to go home," she said. "ok, me and Keaton will pack up our stuff for you," I stood up, having to take my time. "I'm soooo hungry!!!" I moaned. "I just gave you a bunch of chocolate Jennifer!!" Laura yelled back. "yeah, but that was like 2 hours ago!"

"Uggggg, fine we'll all go stop at someplace when we leave," she suggested and I saw Keaton laughing. "what?" I turned and asked him. "you girls are hilarious the way you argue about nothing," Laura rolled her eyes. "She started it!" she exclaimed, pointing at me. "yeah, fine, blame the preggo!" I threw my hands up. "fine, you win!"

We were about to go tell Wes and Drew to come back in when they walked up behind us. "hey," Laura turned and jumped. "ermagerd, you scurrd me!!" she hollered. "gosh, we just walked up," Drew said laying down his board. We all chuckled and she became mad at us eventually. "you guys are mean," Laura said, kidding around. "I still love you babe," Wes said and Laura softly hit him in the chest. "ok, let's go, Jennifer the food monster needs to eat. if we don't get there in time, remember, save yourself," I laughed.

We drove around town a bit to look for a good place. "ok, McDonald's?" Laura asked, now driving. I was about to say, 'yeah!' when Keaton interrupted me, putting his finger on my lips. "no, Jen doesn't need that junk now," I started to protest. "rrg! but- your probably right." he laughed and kissed my cheek. "I'm sorry baby, but no, I no let you eat like that at this moment." I groaned and messed up his hair.

"Taco Bell?" she then asked. Keaton was interrupted by me this time, as I placed my finger on his lips. "yes," I said and he looked at me and I smiled. "I got chu,"

"You Puma,"

"Tiger"

"House cat"

"Flubbernugget"

"Soon to be jellybean"

"Grr meow"

We had a few second stupid name calling fight, then he stopped me from hissing at him by pulling me in for a soft, long kiss. "oh my gosh, here?" Laura groaned and I lifted my finger, yeah, you know which one, and she laughed. "nice one Jenny," Wes added. Keaton pulled back and we rubbed our noses together. Laura pulled the car into the drive through at Taco Bell and we thought of what to get. "what do you want Jenny?" Laura asked. "I want two hard tacos, nachos, a salad, and a Sprite." I said and everyone stared. "goodness," Laura gasped. "okay then, Keaton, do the honors, my window can't roll down," he nodded and ordered for us all, then we went to the window to get our food. "yay! Nom noms!" I yelled, really hungry. I ate my food as fast as possible, then leaning back in my seat, full. for now.

The 5 of us drove back home, singing in the car. I seemed to be more confident with singing in front of them, but I was hesitant to join when Take Back The Night came on the radio. that made the time fly, and before we knew it, we were pulling into the driveway.
