Sugar and spice, your love is nice.

Part 14: fruity baskets

I haven't spoken to Ryan or Brendon in about a week. I've tried calling them both but neither answer. I was so desperste i called Sarah but i didn't get an answer from her either.

I'm going to tell my mom about the baby but i'm not sure how i'm going to do it. I was hoping to have Ryan or Brendon or somebody to help me but i have nobody.

I put on an oversized hoodie and walk downstairs. I get near the bottom of the stairs and then i see Justin Reynolds sitting on the couch beside my mom.

I feel like i'm going to be sick. I turn around in hopes they didn't see me but i wasn't fast enough.

"Chelsea?" My mom sounds upset. I can hear the sadness and anger combined in her voice. I turn around slowly.

"Yea?" my voice cracks. Justin has a smirk on his face.

"You want to come down here?" She has a tissue in her hand. She doesn't look like she's been crying. None of her makeup is smeared and she doesn't have any tears in her eyes that i can see.

I walk down the rest of the stairs and stand at lest ten feet away from them.

"Do you have something you want to tell me?" She looks at my belly. She knows. Justin knows. Ryan. Ryan is the only one who knew i was pregnant besides Brendon but i don't think Brendon would do something like this.

"I um..." I choke on my words. Tears start falling down my face but i hold in as many as i can.

"w-what did he t-tell you?" My throat feels sore. I feel like i'm going to throw up and pass out at the same time.

"He told me that you're pregnant with his child. He told me that you cheated on Ryan with him and that you've been sneaking out every night to go see him." she looks at me blankly.

n-no. h-he h-he r-raped me." i whisper. she laughs as if i'm telling a joke.

"Chelsea it's like I don't even know you anymore." she starts crying and laughing at the same time.

I run out of the house. Tears are streaming down my face. I run over to Brendon's house and bang on the door. When he opens the door he's not the only one standing there. Ryan is also there.

"Chelsea, what's wrong?" Brendon is standing in front of Ryan and neither of them are wearing shirts.

"Justin, mom, house, baby, rape, dating," I say taking breaths in between each word.

"Chelsea calm down." Brendon pulls me into a hug but i don't hug him back.

"Let's get you some water and calm you down. Come on." He wraps his arm around me and walks with me inside.

I sit on the couch and stare at my feet. Ryan sits beside me and puts his hand on my thigh. I flinch at the feel of his touch. He quickly removes his hand.

"Chels, i'm sorry about the other week. I shouldn't have gotten so upset." I don't say anything. I just sit there and hope that Brendon will come back soon with my water.

"You don't have to talk to me. I was a complete dick to you and i'm sorry." He's staring at me.

"Chelsea...I'm gay." I look over at him with wide eyes.

"Chels i got your water." Brendon hands me a cup of water and i immediately chug it.

"Now tell me what happened, Chels." He sits across from me.

"Ryan's gay..." They both look at me.

"Ryan's...gay." It's not syncing into my head.

"Ryan's....gay?" I laugh. He's lying to me. He just wants attention. Brendon starts laughing too.

"Funny story, Chels. I'm gay too." He laughs so hard he looks like he's genuinely laughing.

"That's not funny, B." he looks at Ryan and stops laughing.

"wait wait wait wait...hold on...you two arent??" they look at each other.

"Are you mad?" Ryan looks at me.

"You're both full of it." I get up and walk out. They don't try to follow or stop me so i keep going. I walk back home and go inside. My mom is still talking to Justin. I walk in front of her until she looks at me.

"Me and Ryan had a one night stand after Brendon told me he didn't have feelings for me. I went to school the next day and when i came home Justin was on my bed. He kept walking closer and closer to me and i told him to stop. He didn't listen and he kept coming closer until i was against the wall. He jerked me around and threw me on the bed. He pulled down my pants, and he raped me. Then I develop feelings for Ryan so we start going out. I started getting sick every morning and having really bad mood swings. I took a pregnancy test and it was positive so i went to the doctor and of course, i was pregnant. There, now you know everything." I run upstairs to my room and slam the door.
