"I swear boy if you got my daughter pregnant I will blast yo ass!" Dad said as he bursts into the room. "Ahhhh!" We screamed as we both fell to the floor. Dad was pointing his gun at Louis. We both stood up. I got in front of Louis. "Dad put the gun down. Please." I said. My body was shaking. My mom walked in. "What does it say?" My mom asked. I looked down. It had two lines. One was clear and the other was faint. My heart dropped. Fuck.. "Uh.." I muttered. What am I supposed to do...or say...I can't seem to make words come out of my mouth. If I say the truth. 'I'm pregnant' dad will shoot Louis. If I say 'I'm good, no worries.' Louis won't get shot....what do I do?... Louis noticed. "Shit..." He mumbled. My dad got closer. "Dad please put the gun down." I said as tears fell down from my eyes. "She's pregnant.." Mom said. I looked at her. "I can tell by the look on her face." She said. I was supposed to be somewhat happy but I was heartbroken. I felt my heart beat faster. "Move out of my way." Dad said. "No. If you want to shoot him, you gotta go through me." I said with an angry tone. What am I doing? Is this what love does to you? All I know is that I'm willing to die for him. For fucks sake I'm carrying his child. "Clementine, I don't have the patience right now." Dad said. "I don't fucking care Lee. I don't care. I love him and I'm not going to let you shoot him. So you either kill me or you put the fucking gun down." I said. My heart was racing. I grabbed the gun and put it to my head. He still didn't put the gun down. "Kill me...or put it down." I muttered as I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. My mom went to dads arm. "Lee, I know you are not gonna shoot our daughter. Put the gun down now."  She said. I started to cry. Dad would never hurt me...right? "Please dad...." I said. He started to shake. AJ walked in and mom grabbed him. I slowly moved my hand to the barrel of the gun. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. I placed my hand around the barrel. I slowly pulled the gun from his hand. He let go. His tears fell. He got onto his knees. I broke down as well. Louis grabbed me from behind. He held me as he grabbed the pregnancy test from the floor. My mom came to me. "It's okay honey, you're gonna be okay. I promise." She said. "Go home." I still had his gun in my hand. Mom didn't notice. I took the gun with me and Louis helped me up.

We left the house and headed home. He would have killed Louis....Me.... "We're gonna be okay.." Louis said. "What if it's wrong?" I asked. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Well when I went to get the test I bought the cheapest ones because I didn't have much on me." I said. "Want to buy new ones to make sure?" He asked. "My biological mother had to take two tests, one said not pregnant and the better one said pregnant and obviously I came along." I said. He took me to the Walgreen's by our house. We went inside and got the best one. "Are you guys a little young?" The cashier asked. "You know what, I've had enough of you people asking if I'm a little too young." I snapped. "Sorry she's a little on edge right now." Louis said. "What is it with people?" I asked. I rolled my eyes. Louis gave a nervous look. "What's it to you?" I snarled. "Oh uh...nothing." She said with a nervous laugh. Nothing my ass. I don't got time to beat her ass. I definitely am not in the mood right now. We left and went home. When we got home I went upstairs to our room. I went into the bathroom and took the test. I walked out. "So what's it say?" Louis asked. "We have to wait 10 minutes dummy." I said. "Oh okay." He said. "I...I'm praying I'm not pregnant..." I mumbled. "Don't get me wrong, I would love to have kids with you Louis but not now." I said. He smiled. "You want kids with me?" He asked. "Of course I do." I said. I kissed him. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you Lou." I said. He smiled and hugged me. "Glad we got the same dreams." He said. "Yeah.." I said as I kissed him. He held my waist and kept kissing my neck. "Louis, calm down." I said as I giggled. I got off of him and walked back into the bathroom. I walked out with a sad face. "You're pregnant?.." Louis sighed. "Nope." I said as I jumped into his arms. "But you had a sad look on your face." He said as I was on top of him. "I wanted to see your reaction." I said. He started to take off my dress. "May I?" He asked. I nodded. He started to take the straps on my shoulders off. I unbuttoned his shirt. He exposed my chest. I kissed him and things got heated.
