After the whole Finn thing with Puck, it was kind of awkward between the two of us. Not Finn and I...Puck and I. First, he wanted me to tell Finn about it, now he was angry with me that I did. He didn't make any sense. It was stupid, really. He hadn't talked to me in weeks. Finn wasn't angry about it anymore. I mean, after we did that whole song in the auditorium, I don't really think he had the right to be mad at me.

I sighed and walked over to where Puck was standing in the hallway. "Can we at least talk about this?" I asked, leaning against the lockers, next to him. "Talk about what?" I sighed. "First, you want me to tell him, no you're mad because I did tell him. That doesn't make any sense. Besides, I didn't know he was gonna go ballistic when I told him." He shook his head as he walked away. "Oh...it's about that. Okay...well...I was thirteen. I was nervous. How does a thirteen year old tell her brother's best friend that she's in love with him? Put yourself in my shoes for a second."

He just stared at me. "You just...tell him...you've kept that hidden from me. From yourself for three years."

"There's something I never told anyone about that..."

He looked clueless. "I was pregnant..." He nearly fell backwards. "I didn't know what to do, so I called Scarlett and she took me to get...it taken care of. If Finn knew about that, well, he might be in jail." He just stared at me. I didn't know what to do. "He can never know. If he found out, he would kill me."

Puck just stared at me for a minute. "Why didn't you tell me?" I looked down. "I was thirteen. I was scared. I didn't know what anyone was going to do. I didn't want to be judged like that. Just...please don't be upset with me. It's not something to be mad at me about. I got it done right after I found out. I wasn't ready for a responsibility like that."

He just shook his head and began walking away. "Where are you going?" But he didn't even stop. He just kept walking. I didn't know what to do. I just froze.

There were some points in time where I just wanted to stop existing for a while, this was one of those moments. I had never before in my life felt the way that I felt right now. I mean, I'm sure I did when I had gotten into the whole situation, but at this moment in time, I just wanted to stop existing. Finn and Puck had the rest of the days classes together so that wasn't that great. Puck was obviously upset with me at this moment. I was pregnant and didn't tell him about it. It didn't matter that I was thirteen or not. He had a right to know and I didn't tell him. It was wrong.

I waited the entire day to hear from Finn. Every time I turned the corner, I thought I saw his face, until I actually did see his face. He looked at me, like he didn't know anything about anything. "A.J, are you okay? You look a little green." I just looked at him for a minute and then all of a sudden, the world went dark.
