Okay! Hello :)
You need to read this AN:
Okay, soon I will be finishing A way of living. I did plan having it done a while ago, but school has kept me busy. But, whatever. Okay, since I will be finishing A way of living, and since I love writing and cant help but come up with ideas and all... I decided to start this series. A series of twoXshots more specifically.
Let me explain. First of, for you Spanish people out there... have you ever heard of a show called: 'Decisiones Extremas'? Translation; Extreme Decisions. Well its a show about real life events and yeah... people in the show have to make these hard decisions that effect their lives.
So Ive been watching that show lately and I fell in love with it. Especially with the song; which is the summary of the story.
Now, a while back I began to watch all these episodes and I would imagine the Night World Characters in some of the episodes.. and you know what, I thought it was a pretty sick idea.
So basically, this story will be a series of twoXshots.
I will take ideas from the show and I will write short stories in two parts.
Now, the not all the Characters in the NW series will be in every story. Ill let you know who is the story from the beginning. So for example, in one story I could have Rashel Poppy and Quinn only, and in another I could have Thierry Jez and Delos. Depending who fits the storyline.
So a little example so you guys can understand better. Lets say one short story is called; Monkey. I will divide that story into two parts, meaning two chapters. Once that story is done I will simply add another chapter but with a different short story, lets say that story is called; Dog. Now that story will have nothing to do with Monkey. Like Monkey, Dog will be divided into two parts so two chapters and so on.
So with that said, in all the stories they will be humans.
I hope I'm making myself clear, if not you can ask but I'm sure you guys will understand.
Okay, Thats it... but one last thing.
Dont take what I write too serious. Its a FANfiction. I just did it for the fun of it and to in a way write about some stuff that actually happens in real life. Also, If you guys feel like you have a good short story idea that has to do with hard decision making (and that could happen in real life) feel free to request it. You can pick characters and everything ill just write it and you will get credit :)

One:
Unwanted Pregnancy
Part 1.
Characters:
Mary-Lynnette Carter. Ash Redfern. Rashel Jordan. John Quinn. James Rasmussen. Krestel Redfern. Poppy North. Morgead Blackthorn
"I'm simply asking because I'm worried, Mare." Krestel stated as she lifted both her hands up in surrender. Of course, Mary-Lynnette didn't even have to meet her eyes to prove her honesty.
Krestel Redfern was never the type of person that liked talking, specially about problems. If she could, she would simply run miles away as soon as anyone would ever show interest of sharing their problems with her. She didn't like giving opinions or advices, so she avoided that type of situations. With the only exception being, if she cared for you.
Mary-Lynnette was indeed honored and happy to see that her friend did in fact care enough to come up to her and ask what was recently bothering her, however, that didn't mean she was going to let things out. No. Mary-Lynnette couldn't do that and there are two main reasons why;
One, she is to embarrassed and two, Krestel would hate her.
Mary-Lynnette couldn't live with that, she couldn't have her best friend hating on her and she knew that if she told Krestel everything, it wouldn't take long for her other friends to find out. Meaning that they would also end up hating her. Mary-Lynnette loved her friends, no way in hell did she want to lose them.
"Don't worry about it" Mare replied with a smile as she finally finished fixing her hair. She watched her reflection on the mirror before smiling softly. "Everything is okay" at this Krestel nodded and with a wave and a soft bye, she was gone leaving Mare alone in the washroom once again.
The smile on her face instantly disappeared and her shinning eyes darkened. She no longer needed to act, so for now, Mary-Lynnette wanted to let things out. She collapsed on the ground as she wrapped her arms around herself. She breathed in an out numerous times before she started to sob and within seconds the tears started running down her cheeks.
Mary-Lynnette knew that she could no longer keep living like this. Since last week, all she has been doing is crying alone as she let her feelings slowly become nothing more then acts. She had been positive for a while, but ever since last week, ever since she got the results, she could no longer even see a little light in the situation.
In one single moment her whole life had crashed. Her mind clearly showed images of all her dreams stumbling down and everything she ever worked for simply stopped having a meaning. Mary-Lynnette felt like her life was ending. She couldn't see a way out, she couldn't see a change of events… a simple solution.
Her life was over and as soon as she realised that, her mind had officially decided that she had to deal with it by herself because there was no one that could help her.
Her parents were far away and they didn't need to know about a mistake like hers. She couldn't count on her brother because he was currently going through his own problems and as for the father… Mary-Lynnette couldn't even bring herself to think about the possibility of him helping her. So that left her alone. She had to deal with everything alone, after all it had been her mistake.
"Mare!" Mary-Lynnette quickly turned her head around at the sound of a familiar voice. She had been so caught up in her thoughts she hadn't even heard Poppy walk in.
Her short friend stood a few meters away with her hands on her hip and a worried expression on her face, that's when Mary-Lynnette realised her face was probably showing every sign of her recent breakdown. Mare quickly turned her head back around to wipe the tears that were still on her cheeks. She stood up as she tried to fix her makeup before she turned to face Poppy.
Poppy North did not look amused. Her eyes were definitely showing determination and Mary-Lynnette couldn't help but to wish the earth would let her sink. "Poppy?" Mary-Lynnette said sounding like a question as she went to grab her bag that was sitting on the floor.
"What's wrong?" Poppy asked as she leaned against the door. She knew that Mare was planning on making an escape and she wasn't about to allow it.
"Nothing I was just-"
"Stop lying Mare" Poppy stated with sadness in her eyes. "Something is bothering you, okay? I know. Krestel knows, Ash knows, heck, even Rashel knows" Mare flinched at the last name but Poppy never noticed "You've told them all the same thing but I'm not falling for it. Tell me what's bothering you and I swear, you are not leaving this bathroom until I hear it!"
Mary-Lynnette looked at her friend with sadness before her eyes narrowed. Her heart was beating fast and she could already feel the tears coming back. Completely losing control over her feelings, Mary-Lynnette found herself collapsing on the ground once again.

"We are definitely winning the finals" Quinn stated with a fist pump as James took the opportunity to slap him on the head.
"Of course we are. You have me on the team" Ash happily stated after he finished a conversation with the captain of the football team. Even though Ash was being slightly cocky, in a way what he said was true. After all, Ash was one of the best in the team.
Snorting, Quinn rolled his eyes before he opened his mouth to speak after he playfully punched James on his shoulder "Your hilarious, Ash"
"Not trying to be" Ash mumbled before grabbing a towel and rushing to the showers.
"Why is he in such a hurry?" Quinn asked as he took his time grabbing a towel and searching for shampoo in his locker.
"He has a date with Mare" was all James said as he took a towel from one of the guys and rushed towards the showers.
Quinn shook his head once he saw everyone had practically ran to the showers. He sighed already knowing that he would have to wait for one of the guys to get out before he could take a shower seeing how there were only ten baths and at least seventeen boys here today.
Sitting down on a chair near his locker, Quinn grabbed his phone and quickly checked his text messages. He didn't really care for most of them, in fact the only one that got his attention was the one he got from Rashel, his girlfriend. 'Meet you at the lockers, babe.' Quinn found himself licking his lips before he typed down a reply and quickly clicked the send button.
"Having an orgasm?" his eyes quickly snapped up from his phone to meet green eyes. Morgead Blackthorn sat on the other side of the locker room with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. Quinn rolled his eyes before sticking his middle finger at him.
"None of your business"
"Yikes. Your such a defensive bitch" Morgead laughed once he saw Quinn stick his middle finger once again. Once again, Morgead laughed, this time a little louder before he stood up to grab his bag. Quinn noticed that he had already showered and with the way he dressed, he assumed Morgead was going to meet up with Jez. "Later"
Quinn didn't say anything as Morgead quickly left. His eyes once again looked down to his cell phone to see that Rashel had replied. 'Hurry' the text said, which made Quinn smile.
"What are you smiling at?" Ash asked as he walked back in the locker room however this time with a towel tied around his waist.
"Is there a free shower?" Quinn asked ignoring Ash's question. Ash nodded and Quinn practically bolted towards she showers once he noticed another guy was grabbing his towel.
Ash laughed at his friend as he saw him push a guy out of his way. Quinn was definitely weird, but he was a good friend. Deciding that he would see him over the weekend, Ash quickly changed as he hummed to a song that had been stuck in his head since the morning. He didn't even know the name of the song, all he knew was that Katy Perry sang it.
Not really bothering to wait for James -and he had promised to wait- Ash made sure to spray some cologne on himself before he grabbed all his stuff and locked his locker. Happy to see he had only taken five minutes he smiled before he left the locker room in search of Mare.
He thought of calling her to see where she was at because he knew her after school activities were probably all done by now however once he caught sight of his sister he decided to first ask if she knew where Mare was.
"Krestel!" Ash yelled as he jogged towards her. She looked at him before frowning and then huffing. Rolling his eyes, Ash remembered Krestel hated when he talked to her in school but he didn't really care seeing how not many people were around. "Sis, have you seen Mare?"
"Last time I saw her she was fixing her make up in the girls washroom"
"Which washroom?" Ash asked completely ignoring how Krestel kept looking around worried to see if any of her friends would see her talking to him. He couldn't help but to wonder is she was that embarrassed of him. Sure he was a bully, a jerk and sometimes an idiot but she didn't have to make it seem like he was some sort of nerd or geek for the matter.
"First floor" Ash nodded before he thanked his sister. He turned around and once again started jogging, this time though his destination was the first floor washroom.
Ash couldn't help but feel excited. Even though they went out on a date every Friday, it still made him feel all warm and happy with the thought. Mare made him feel like that and seeing how he hasn't seen her since the morning, he couldn't help but feel twice as happy.
As Ash started to get closer to the washroom, he did find himself frowning seeing how he hadn't exactly planned where they would be going today, however he knew it would be special and that Mary-Lynnette would have fun regardless because she was that special. He smiled as he finally made it to the washroom, however he found himself once again frowning because he didn't know what to do.
Knock maybe? He thought and decided that it was the only possible option seeing how he was not about to barge in. Ash lifted his hand to knock however he instantly froze as he heard a quiet sob and then the voice of his cousins girlfriend.
"Ohmygod"
Ash once again heard a sob but this time louder before he felt decided to lean his head against the door. He knew eavesdropping was wrong… but he couldn't help it, especially after he heard Mare's voice.
"I don't know what to do Poppy, I-I….I cant…"
"When? When did this happen? How? Mare how- why, why did you…?"
"I don't know. It was two weeks ago in the party and I got drunk… Poppy, I…I really cant…"
Ash felt his heart break as the sobs of his girlfriend entered his ear. He was completely lost in the conversation he was overhearing, but from what he could understand, it seemed that Mare had done something, something she was probably ashamed of.
"Mare, you have to tell him!"
"Who?"
"Who do you think?"
Ash blinked in surprise as he heard Mare shout 'no'. Now he was really starting to worry. He has never heard Mare sound so… afraid. He had to do something, Ash knew that. So he gathered all the confidence he could manage and pressed his hand against the door to open it, however the next word he heard made him freeze.
"I cant tell Quinn!"
Tell Quinn what? Ash mentally thought before Poppy decided to answer his question, and with her words, Ash felt his world crash.
"He has to know your pregnant with his child!"
-o-
That was part one. Next chapter will have part two and then the third chapter will be the beginning of a new short story.
I hope you guys like this idea... and all.
And uhm yeah. I hope I didn't confuse you guys. I will probably have part 2 up in two weeks or less. I would say this week but I never know with school.. bleh.
Review?

God Bless You!
