Nerd Girl

Chapter 25

Chad's POV

The boys and I were lounging around the house, then it got quiet and the only sound was coming from the tv. I felt kinda awkward just sitting here, even though I've known Shawn and Travis since freshman year, but its just different now I guess.

"Chad who you going to prom with" Allan asked 

I was taken back that he asked me that question, then Shawn and Travis turned their attention to me instead of the tv. I shrugged "I don't know, I still have to ask someone" I said

"Well don't think too hard slick, you don't have that long" Allan said

I chuckled "Yea I know" I said, then we started talking about random things such as favorite football teams and what we wanna do after high school

"You wanna know what I wanna do after high school" Shawn asked us, we shook our heads "I wanna own my own strip club" he sad, we started laughing

"And what are you gonna have Mel co own it" Travis asked, he scoffed

"Hell no, that's gonna be my down low business" he said, we laughed harder

"Well I don't know about you guys but I wanna go to Italy and visit a nude beach" Allan sad

"Why?" we all said at the same time

"Who wouldn't want to see hot babes in their birthday suit" he said

"Just make sure it's not an all male nude beach" I chuckled, Travis nodded in agreement

"Yea whatever" he said crossing his arms, we were rolling on the floor of laughter

I heard the door open and close, then I could see the silhouette of the girls through my laughing tears. I sat up and leaned against the couch 

"Hey guys" Belle said slowly 

"Hey babe, you guys are back already" Travis said, they're back together.

"We've been gone for two and a half hours, what have you guys been doing for that long" Belle answered

"Whoa that was fast, we haven't done nothing just mess around and stuff" Shawn said

"So no fights?" Mel asked, looking from me to the boys

"Na, we cool" Allan said

"So what did you girls buy at the mall" I asked, looking at all the bags

"Nothing" they said at the same time

"Ok, well I should get going. I have something to do" I said getting up from the floor

"And what's that" Belle asked

"I have some unfinished business sis" I said, I kissed her on the head and waved bye to everyone else

I walked to my car and started driving when I reached my destination I sat in the car and stared at the house. I took a deep breath and got out of the car when I reached the door I knocked and then I didn't want to go through with it so I turned around and started walking back to my car

"Chad?" I slowly turned around and sighed

"Hey Heather" I said walking back up to the door

"What are you doing here" she asked, I shoved my hands in my pockets

"I wanted to see how you were doing" I said 

"Umm well do you wanna come in" she offered

"Sure" I walked inside her house and sat down on the couch. I looked around the room and it looked the same as before

Now you're all wondering why am I here, well here's the story. Heather and I have been best friends since forever, even after my mom passed away.  When we got in high school and I had gotten on the football team. We slowly drifted apart and then one day I asked her to go to a party with me, but like always I had to get drunk. We were only in tenth grade and we were dancing having a good time, till I was dropping her off at her house. I dropped her off at her doorstep, I was about to leave when she pulled me in the house and one thing led to another and we had done the deed. I lost my virginity to my best friend, but after a couple of weeks her parents made her transfer schools. I don't know why and she wouldn't tell me.

"Here" she said handing me a cup of hot chocolate

"Thanks, Heather I miss you" I said plain and simple, she looked down at her cup

"I miss you too, but we can never be like the way we were before" she said

I looked at her "Why not, do you know how I've been at school because you left me. I have so many questions to ask you and coming to see you face to face I would think you would be open minded about it" I stared at her

"There's nothing to say, I left because my parents found a better school for me. I stopped talking to you because you chose the football players over me and....." she stopped short

"And what? Heath you were my best friend and my first at everything, I never wanted to hurt you" I said reaching to touch her hand, but she scooted away from me

"Its been two years Chad and then you wanna come and talk now, what changed?" she asked standing up

"When you left I was lost, for two years I have done nothing right in my life. I broke a girls heart, I hurt another and the worst of all I bullied a girl, so I was completely in the dark" I said breathing hard

"And how did you finally see the light?" she asked like she wasn't believing me, I looked up at her and she was staring back at me

"I was hanging from a cliff and the only person that was there for me was the one person that should hate me, but she stayed by me and I will be forever grateful to her. She was the first person after you that I told about my mom" I said staring right into her eyes, she sighed

I was about to say something else when I saw at the corner of my eye a little girl in the hallway. I fully turned my full vision to her and she looked one or two years old, she walked in and Heather looked at her too 

"Jacquelyn what are you doing out of bed?" Heather asked the young child

"I no sleepy" she said so cutely. She jumped on the couch and rubbed her eyes, then she turned and looked at me

"Who you?" she asked me

"I'm Chad" I said to her "I didn't know you had a little sister" I said looking at the small child, I turned to look at Heather but she was crying. I quickly stood up and wrapped my arms around her, she dropped to the floor and I continued to hold her as she cried in my chest

"Mommy whats wong?" I stared at the little girl then back at Heather

"Mom? Heather when did you have her?" I asked as she looked up at me

"two and a half years ago" she said

"Who's the father?" I asked, she just sniffled and continued to stare at her

"You....."
