Megan stood in front of me crying. "Um, do you know where Shawn is?" she asked. I pointed towards the gym. Even though I hated Megan's guts, I decided to ask her if she was alright. "Are you okay?" I asked. She shook her head. "No"

I watched as Megan walked into the Gym, & pulled Shawn aside. She began to cry harder, & Shawn looked concerned. That's when she pulled something out of her jacket pocket.

A pregnancy test.

My heart dropped. The whole time Shawn was flirting with me, he was hooking up with Megan? I thought he loved me.

Shawn pulled Megan in for a hug as she cried into his sweaty chest. "We'll make it through this together, okay?" he said. I grabbed my car keys & ran out of the school. I knew Shawn was just the typical asshole of a teenage boy & I should have stayed away from him.  That's when I started to cry.

This whole time I thought Shawn was a different person, but he was just like everyone else.

Before I could start my car, someone knocked at my window. I looked up to see Shawn. "Sam, just talk to me." he said, sounding muffled due to the windows being rolled up. I shook my head saying no. "Yes, I promise I can explain." he shouted. I swung the door open & got out. "Explain what, Shawn? How you got your ex girlfriend knocked up while you led me on?"

Shawn shook his head, & took a deep breath. "Do you think I want to be a Dad? because I don't. Not this young! it was a drunken mistake, & I promise it meant nothing. I fucked up & now I pay the price. Sam, believe me when I say I'm sorry. But there's not much I can do now. I can't just leave Megan alone to deal with this herself, it takes two. I'm sorry I led you on, I guess I was just wrong."

I clenched my fist.  "Go fuck yourself, Shawn."
