PURE HEROINE II 13 REASONS WHY

clear talks

"It's better to be honest, they'd find out anyways."

❥

"So, you're friends again?", Bryce asks his friend as soon as she comes back ready to hang out with him, Justin and Monty. "Yeah, we apologized. Looks like everything's fine for a moment." "Can you hear that? Yeah?", Justin adds, "That sounds like freedom and fun." "It sounds like we're having a beer by the pool", Monty says instead, "See you there, boys." The boy and Liz jump onto the seats of Montgomery's Jeep and Bryce and Justin drive back to the Walker's home in Bryce's car.

"Guys, a beer for everyone? Els, you too?", Bryce asks his friends when he opens the fridge. "Of course, she wants one. Now that se all know that she's not pregnant", Monty answers for her, "Fortunately, by the way. A mini Scott or Els would be great but you should first tell Jeff about it." "Monty", Liz laughs feeling slightly ashamed, "Scott and I are not even dating. I'm just glad I didn't have to do that test." 

Liz takes one beer and is about to walk into the garden through the hallway but almost bumps into none other than the Walker's lawyer. She instantly regrets talking with the boys about the test without checking who could hear them. Their lawyer is an important law firm's partner who she's looked up to since she's been a child. She also knew him from her family as he seems to be close to her uncle. 

But they are definitely not as close to talk about a pregnancy test. "I'm sorry, Mr. Specter. I should have looked where I'm going", she apologizes politely remembering that she needs to keep a nice attitude as she's planned to do a internship at his law firm once she studies law at Harvard. That's what her dad did and it's her most important wish to do the best that she can to feel connected to him. 

"It's fine, Elizabeth. How are you doing in school?", he asks politely as always ignoring the fact that she's holding a beer in her hand. "Good", she quickly states, "Still having the best grades." "Good, Elizabeth. You're a smart girl, don't get distracted."

"William", Harvey Specter's voice can be heard in the basement of the Lennox' household as he enters. He's not only the Walker's lawyer and friend, but also a close friend to Gordon and Will. So when he heard the teenagers talking about a pregnancy test, his first thought was to talk to his friend about it. "Don't you have to sit in your corner office?", the shorter of the two asks still joking. 

"Important topics can't wait. It's about Elizabeth." "What about her?", Will questions immediately alerted. By the tone of his friends' voice, he could tell that it's nothing good. "Barry invited me over earlier and before I left, I've heard her and her friends talking about a pregnancy test. It didn't sound like she's made one or at least it was negative but maybe you should keep an eye on her. She's not supposed to get a child so young." 

"Not like you and-" "William." "What do you expect, Harvey? I had to be gone for a few months. Things happen. I'll talk to her but I'm sure it's alright. Dad and I raised her pretty fine I'd say and we had no idea what we're doing." "Obviously if she's talking about a pregnancy test." "Just tell me what we've done wrong, Harvey, spit it out", Will snaps at him upset, "You went to Harvard. You've got no idea how hard it can be to raise a child. So better be thankful for what we've done." 

"Fine, but if she ends up having to do a test and it's positive, I'll critisice every single mistake I can think of. It's your responsibility." "How mature, Harvey", Will puffs annoyed by Harvey's cocky behavior. "You sound just like her", the older of the two states surprised not knowing how to feel about it. "What do you expect? You've never been here. Of course she sounds like me." Harvey decides to keep his mouth shut before starting a fight. Deep down inside, both of them knew that William is right.

"Harvey was here today", Will tells his dad when they stand in the garden talking about Elizabeth. "What did he say?" "He overheard the boys and her talking about a pregnancy test. He wants us to keep an eye on her." "What do you plan to do now? You can't sleep by her side every night. Not anymore", Gordon chuckles remembering the times when Liz was only a toddler and she used to sleep next to Will night after night. 

"I'll talk to her, that's it. If he's upset about it, it's his business. We agreed that we would raise her with trust." "Raising children is never easy", Gordon states with a hint of a joke looking at his son. "A classy joke, dad." "Sorry, I'm too old for this. I'm sure you'll be great talking to her." "Yeah, of course it's me."

"Are you done?", Elizabeth asks her uncle when her granddad leaves the kitchen after they've prepared everything for a dinner with her friends. "I'll get a drink", Gordon says indirectly telling his son to talk to her and he leaves the room. 

"We've prepared everything", Will nods changing the subject so he can finally get over with this conversation, "Harvey's been talking to me earlier. He mentioned something about a pregnancy test and that he didn't understand everything. What is it about?" 

Liz is ashamed that he might think that she could be the one who's made that test but she's also relieved that her uncle is asking her about it in a polite and calm way. "I haven't made one. A girl from the cheer team needed one but was too shy to buy it herself so I did it for her and threw it away in school. Another girl claimed that it was me but that was bullshit."

"Good." "Good? That's it?", Liz reassures herself that she can be calm about it. "That's it. I'm not into this shit where I tell you how you have to stay away from boys. You wouldn't stay away from Reed anyways", Will chuckles.
