16 And Pregnant
Chapter 1 - First Drink
Beth Greene

Things have been bad between me and Jimmy for a while so when Jimmy called me this morning and asked if he could come over later today to talk I wasn't all that surprised but just because I wasn't surprised and knew it was coming, doesn't mean that it makes this any less painful. I have been with Jimmy for a just over a year and I was in love with him but the thing with Jimmy is he doesn't seem to love me and every small thing causes an argument between us. He will complain about me hanging out with the girls at the weekend or when Maggie came home from college I would hang out with her or if I didn't want to go to a certain place for a date… silly things.

Me and Jimmy knew things were going to end but everyone else thinks that things between me and Jimmy are great and we're the perfect couple. My parents, Maggie and Shawn also think that we're as happy as can be… Shawn doesn't like Jimmy for the plain fact that he's my boyfriend but when he finds out that he came here to break up with me he is going to freak out. I wouldn't want to be Jimmy when Shawn gets hold of him for breaking up with his little sister.

It's going to be easier on Jimmy to break up with me though because I have the house to myself this afternoon, my dad and mom are going grocery shopping, Maggie is out with her new boyfriend Glenn and Shawn is out with his friends. Normally when I have the house to myself Jimmy would come over, we'd make out and watch a movie or something. I know it sounds lame that we only make out but I always wanted to wait until I was married to have sex with somebody because then I'd know that I really loved them and we were going to be together forever.

If Jimmy was ending things with me then I wanted him to know what he was going to be missing out on so I put on a white cotton top with a black bra on underneath and my pair of white jean shorts that my parents and Shawn definitely wouldn't approve of. I decided to leave my hair down in my natural curls and put on some light make up then my white sandals.

The front door knocked and I took a deep breath before walking to the door and opening it to see Jimmy standing on the other side. I stepped out and closed the door "Hey" I said with a smile on my face and kissed his cheek.

"Hi… walk with me?" He asked and I nodded and grabbed his hand. We walked around the farm and found a spot to sit down "We've been together for a long time" He started.

"Fourteen months" I told him, I wasn't going to make this easy.

"Look Beth I think your beautiful and you are one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life but… we're sixteen years old and I wanna be a teenager. I don't want us to be married with kids at eighteen and then in ten years I wonder what happened in my life, I wanna play the field a little" He explained and he couldn't sound more like a jackass if he tried.

"Do you know how much of a jerk sound right now?" I questioned and he just sighed "Jimmy I'm not stupid. I know you came here to break up with me but I didn't want to make it easy on you. I thought you would have said something a little better then that because what you just told me is; you want to dump me so you can hook up with other girls" I told him.

"You twisting it" He stated.

"How?" I questioned "You're dumping me! You just said you want to play the field a little" I said.

"Doesn't mean I'm going to sleep with other girls" He told me.

"What are you gonna do? Buy them an ice cream and hold their hands? I know you're frustrated that I never had sex with you and you told me you understood my reasons and that you ok with that… did you lie to me?" I questioned.

"It wasn't that I lied. At first it wasn't a big deal to me that we never had sex but I'm sixteen years old in a relationship and I'm sick and tired of using my hand" He told me.

Before I could stop myself my hand connected with his face. I stood up in anger and couldn't help the tears that fell from my eyes "Leave before Shawn gets back" I told him angrily and started walking back to the house, I felt his hand grab my arm to stop me walking away from him "Let go of me and leave! Don't ever contact me ever again!" I screamed at him and tugged my arm away from him.

I stormed up the house and slammed the front door closed behind me and ran up to my room. I took my clothes off and put on a flannel shirt, jeans and my boots before going back down the stairs. I left a note in the kitchen for my dad when he gets home so he didn't worry about me then left the house. I walked to the stable where I grabbed my chocolate coloured horse Fudge.

After saddling him up and everything I jumped on and set off for a ride. I knew he was coming here to break up with me but actually hearing him telling me he wanted us to break up just made it seem real. Jimmy actually broke up with me. He broke up with me so he could go and sleep with other girls, I thought he understood why I didn't want to sleep with him yet.. He told me he would wait for me because he loved me and now I feel such a fool.

Me and Fudge just rode around for an hour or so before we started heading back but I wasn't in a rush so we just took a slow trot back and it felt good to be just riding and away from everything and everyone. I knew everyone at home was going to notice my bad mood and I was gonna have to tell them that Jimmy broke up with me and when they asked why I wasn't going to hold back. I would tell them the truth. He broke up with me so he could fool around with other girls because I wasn't enough for him.

When I got back to the stable I saw Maggie walking towards me "Wondering when you were going to get back" She said as I hopped of Fudge and took the saddle off him "What's wrong?" She asked me obviously noting my sour mood.

"Me and Jimmy broke up" I stated and put Fudge in his stable.

The two of us walked back up to the house and into the kitchen mom and dad where putting away the groceries "Why the long face?" Dad asked me.

"Me and Jimmy broke up" I repeated.

"Why?" Mom asked and she sounded more gutted then I did.

"He wanted more then I would give him" I answered before grabbing an apple and walking up the stairs to my room where I closed the door behind me so everyone knew to leave me alone.

I didn't really fancy sitting around here all night with my family asking questions about my relationship with Jimmy so I called my friend Chloe "Hey" She said as she answered the phone.

"Hey… you busy tonight?" I asked her.

"No why?" She questioned.

"Because me and Jimmy have broken up and I need time with my girls" I said to her.

"I have the perfect idea. Why don't I call the girls and we all stay at mine tonight? We can get a pizza, watch a move and make a voodoo doll of Jimmy" She said and we both started laughing.

"That sounds perfect" I told her.

"Great! Come to mine in a couple hours" She said.

After we hung up I decided to have a quick shower and get my things together then beg Maggie to use her car, I passed my test last month but I can't afford to buy a car yet.

I got to Chloe's house two hours later and knew I was the last one to arrive, when Chloe answered the door our other friends Demi, Maci and Taylor were standing behind her. I walked through the front door and all the girls wrapped their arms around me in a hug trying to make me feel better which I appreciated "I can't believe you two broke up… what happened?" Chloe asked as we went into her living and sat down on the sofa.

"Basically it's because I didn't sleep with him. He said he wants to play the field and not be eighteen and married with a baby and in ten years wonder where his life went" I explained to them and they all gasped in shock at his words "His words, not mine" I added.

Everyone thought of Jimmy as a nice guy, the type of guy every girl wants their boyfriend to be like "Was there any warning?" Maci asked.

"Sort of. I mean we haven't been getting along all that great lately but when he called this morning and asked if he could come over so we could talk I knew what was gonna happen" I explained to them.

"Well he's an asshole!" Taylor stated angrily.

"You know Beth, it's times like these when a drink helps" Chloe said.

I was the most boring sixteen year old ever. I didn't have sex with my boyfriend, I didn't go to parties and when I wasn't with my family I was usually either hanging with my friends or doing homework. I got all straight As in school and I never missed a day. My friends on the other hand go to every party they hear about, never do their homework and when they went to parties they got really drunk and slept with boys.

Not having sex with my boyfriend made him dump me. Maybe I could have one little drink to shut them up and then we could all move on with our lives "Ok just the one" I told her and the girls squealed with joy.

"But…" Chloe stated and I started to groan "We need to go to the bar because I don't have any drink here" She said.

Chloe's older brother Jamie owned a bar called Oasis and that was where my friends go to drink before they go to party. They have to sit in the corner away from the punters and by the back door though in case the police come in and find them serving minors as Jamie could then lose his license "I'm not dressed for a bar" I told her trying to make excuses so I wouldn't have to go.

"You look fine" Maci said "But we gotta put a little make up on you" She told me and reached into her bag and pulled out her makeup bag "C'mon, your dad will never find out" She said to me.

"If he does, I'm blaming you" I told her.

Forty five minutes later I was standing at the bar with the girls. Jamie was the only person working for another hour as that is when it gets busy. He didn't seemed fazed that he might get caught serving us and get into trouble with the police, he was surprised to see me here as I was normally at home doing homework. He told us what our limit was on what we was allowed and put it in a separate fridge so he didn't accidentally serve it to the punters and I was thinking about how much this was gonna cost me but Chloe assured me we didn't have to pay.

My first drink was a shot of vodka. Man that was rough. I thought I was going to be sick there and then on the bar which made the girls laugh "I promise it gets better" Taylor said to me as she handed another shot to me and I groaned "C'mon stop be boring, we here now you might as well enjoy it" She told me.

"Ok fine" I stated and took the shot of her.
