It's Only the Beginning

Chapter 23: Think of Amanda

Kylie's POV

What the hell was happening?

My head was pounding and my heart skipped a beat, I could barely breathe. Drey had just... he killed Jake's mom?! Why would he do that? What kind of a cruel person would do that?

The words had barely left Drey's mouth when Jake snapped and starting beating him to a pulp! The crowd around us had grown so big that the teachers couldn't get through to stop the fight, you could hear them yelling yelling for us to move but no one was about to move for the teachers just to stop this fight. The truth was either people wanted Jake to kill Drey and go to jail or just watch the first real fight here at this boring high school. It was sick the way people were watching and laughing at the scene in front of them.

Could they just go home and get on Facebook or something? Getting joy out of watching people getting their ass kicked isn't funny one bit!

A bone chilling crack sounded through the crowd and I immediately knew that Drey's nose had just been broken, or another part of his body. Jake was out of control! He was going to kill Drey of someone didn't stop him!

“Jake! Jake!" I screamed but it did absolutely nothing. Jake was blinded by his hatred and anger towards Drey to even think about hearing me at this time. I felt the tears burning my eyes. I had to do something . . but what was I going to do?! I thought about jumping in and trying to stop him but he was so mad I was scared he would hurt me too... it was too risky to even try do right now.

I had to stop him. That's all that was on my mind right now. I had to stop him before he got carried away. Actually he was already carried away, but how could I stop him now?

Then it hit me. Amanda!

He would do anything for Amanda!

I know he would... What would I say?

“Jake!" I yelled to try to get his attention again. He didn't even flinch and just kept kitting Drey. The blood... so. much. blood!

“Jake! Think about Amanda!" I screamed as loud as I could, my throat felt dry and my tongue felt like it had swelled up ten times. Tears were streaming down my face and I hurridely wiped them away and that's when I noticed that Jake had stopped... He had stopped hitting Drey!

I fell to my knees next to him and cautiously reached out my hand to touch his shoulder. As soon as we made contact his head snapped to look at me. His eyes were full of tears that he wouldn't let fall and his face was red, his fists were trembling and covered in blood.

“Please, let's just go home babe, please please please!" I begged him, lightly touching his face. Gently he held it up to his mouth and kissed it lightly, a single tear falling from his right eye, rolling down his cheek.

“Let's go home," He whispered very quietly to me before standing up quickly, still holding my hand and yanking me up with him rather harshly. As if the crowd knew they parted in half to let Jake and I walk by, watching us both with wide eyes before we disappeared into his car.

As soon as we closed our doors Jake broke apart. Sobbing into his hands, leaning his head against the steering wheel and just crying his heart out. I reached over and ran my fingers through his hair gently, trying to soothe him as much as I could but I couldn't do that now. The best thing for him was to cry it out and get it all out. I happened to glance back at the crowd and they had nearly all disappeared except for a few girls who were surrounding Drey and crying... I wonder if he was dead?

“I'm sorry Kylie, I lost control over there," He whispered in between sobs. I unbuckled my seatbelt and hugged him as best as I could from the passengers seat.

“I don't care, you have control now and that's all that matters. Please, let's just leave," I begged again and kissed his cheek gently. He nodded slowly and started the car slowly pulling out of the parking lot.

“You think he's telling the truth?" He asked as we were half way home.

“I don't think so, how could he? It's just not possible really," I said reaching for his hand. He held my hand for a while before letting go and taking a sharp turn. “What are you doing?"

“I need to stop at the gas station and get some gas," he mumbled as we pulled into the small gas station. This was odd because we had half a tank of gas left... what was he doing? “I'll be back, I have to.... go to the bathroom,"

He was out of the car within two seconds, leaving me in the car by myself. I sighed and looked around. No one was around.

The dead silence was broken by my stomach growling furiously. Oops, I should probably get someone to eat since I haven't eaten in a while. Since we were at a gas station with snacks I jumped out of the car quickly and headed inside where Jake had gone.

An old fat man was sitting at the counter reading a Playboy magazine, go figure! If I had no life and was in my mid 40's working at a gas station I would probably read playboy too!

I headed down one isle leading to the drinks in the back when something caught my eye.

A pregnancy test?

I reached for the box, curious, but stopped short... I was being silly! I wasn't pregnant! I mean sure I hadn't been feeling so good these past few days and I have had an upset stomach quite a few times but that could just be that I'm coming down with something you know?

But still there is that small possibility.... We didn't use a condom...

Without talking myself out of it I grabbed a box quickly and a random bag of chips and hurried to the counter. Obviously the guy didn't realize I was in a rush because he took at least 5 minutes to ring up the cost of two flippin items!

I noticed that Jake wasn't out of the bathroom yet so instead of waiting to go home to test this little thing out I headed into the bathroom right away and pulled a stick out. I never imagined myself doing this... I was always the good girl!

How could I get prego at this age?!

It took me a few minutes but soon enough I had peed on the stick and was just waiting around. I swear this took forever! I sat on the counter, the floor, the toilet and even jumped up and down for a few minutes before the stupid thing showed up.

Oh.

Shit...

What does a pink plus sign mean again? It doesn't take a rocket science to figure this one out. Oh my God I was so dead!

The tears came out of nowhere and I was trying to hold in my sobs. I would have to tell my parents and Jake... there goes my life!

I tried to wipe the tears away but it was pointless with how much I was crying. Maybe I should just kill myself now and get it over with? That would be easier. No Kylie, you can't be a coward now! Grow some lady balls and go tell your family and boyfriend. What if Jake didn't want a child though?

I took a deep breath before opening the bathroom door and stepping out into the hallway just to bump into someone.

I was shocked and looked up quickly just to meet the gaze of my love but he wasn't looking at me. He was looking at what was in my hands...

Oh man...
