Let's Ruin the Friendship.

When I woke up, I checked my phone. 9:30 PM.. I got up going downstairs; the lights were dim, music was playing low. I saw Justin on the couch drinking a beer, smoking a blunt, reading a book.

"Hey, you're up." He quickly put the blunt out dusting off his pants.

"Yeah, what are you reading?" I asked sitting beside him.

"A baby book just giving me information about all the steps and how to be prepared, stuff like that, sorry I was smoking I didn't know you were up. I got you some prenatal vitamins they're supposed to keep the baby really healthy, pickles in case you're craving them along with other stuff I got and some food. Don't worry it's not cold I got here 5 minutes ago, you hungry?" He asked passing me a to-go plate.

"Starving," I said starting to eat.

"So I thought about your appointment tomorrow afternoon, and I wanna come. Your dad may hate me but, I think you should tell him about the whole abortion pill thing. I'm sure he would understand I don't want him hating me. I'm serious about this baby; it's the best thing that ever happened to me. I know everyone sees me as the bad boy at school, but I'm not, I just want to be there for her and for you."

"Okay, I'll tell him."

"It would really mean a lot. Maybe it won't make a difference but long as he knows I'm here, so how did you sleep?"

"Good, got plenty of rest. Kathy told my dad I was with Drew so he wouldn't be so worried about me."

"She lied to him?" He asked.

"Yeah, he knows Drew would take care of me. And he wouldn't try to do anything with me since I'm pregnant, don't feel bad he has his favorites. Maybe you could be one."

"I doubt it; I just don't want to keep sneaking around so that we can see each other."

"I will talk to him, and we don't have to sneak around I'm 18 now I'm not under his supervision anymore. I mean he's still concerned about me, of course, watching out for the baby too. We had a long talk one night; we talked about once we moved here I was having sex and ended up with a baby, he was expecting so much more from me. But he knows I have sex, I just forgot about taking my shot."

"Do you think your mom would've said the same thing?"

"No, she's more of a 'You're an adult now, time to take some responsibility' kind of gal." I chuckled.

"Sounds more like your dad."

"I know right," I said surprised. "But I do have to take some responsibly, having sex was a choice for me, and I was dumb enough to do it and get knocked up. We're gonna make up for it though; we can't hate the baby."

"I love our unborn child," He says, I smiled and hugged him.

"Sorry if I interrupted your reading, I know you were enjoying yourself."

"It's okay, I'm happy you're here, and we're talking. Have you heard from Trish?" He asked.

"No, we haven't talked ever since she blurted out me having sex with you."
