I watched as my stunning girlfriend shakily walked out of the R.V. bathroom slamming the metal door quickly behind her. She wiped her hands on her black lace top and sat next to me on the small single bed. It let out a small squeak as she sat down.
"What's wrong?" I asked pecking her lips. I could tell something was wrong. She'd been acting off all day.
"If I tell you something, do you promise not to get angry?" Jade asked her voice cracking half way through it.
"Sure, is everything okay?" I asked getting worried. Jade began to tear and bit down on her bottom lip in a desperate attempt to stop the tears from spilling out. "Jade?" I asked.
"I'm." Jade began, the tears had began to pour out of her crystal blue eyes. I took my thumb and rubbed away the tear running down her cheek.
"You're what?" I asked moving closer to her and began to rub her back.
"I'm pregnant?" Jade said unsure and kind of forced in a laugh, though it was completely insincere. My hand fell from her back and my gaze went cold.
"How?" I asked, with a slight angry tone. "You said you were on the pill."
"I was." Jade said stifling a sob. "I just changed the ones I used."
"You should've known better!" I snapped.
"What about you? How hard is it too wrap you dick up in a piece of plastic?" Jade asked standing up and furiously wiping her tears leaving big streaks of black under her eyes.
"I-uhh." I yelled. "Just leave my R.V.!" I yelled pointing to the door.
"Were am I supposed to go?" Jade yelled angrily. I knew her dad wouldn't let her into the house this late and her Mom moved to England when Jade was nine.
"Anywhere! I don't care just stay away from me!" I yelled. I didn't really mean it. I just wanted some time to myself. To think.
"It's your baby too, Beck." Jade whispered looking down at her stomach.
"I can't have a baby. I'm nineteen. I still have a career ahead of me. I can't be changing diapers and playing peek-a-boo." I explained.
"Please Beck. I can't do it on my own." Jade whispered as even more tears fell from her face. I don't think I'd ever seen someone so vulnerable in my life. "I'm only eighteen. No one would hire an eighteen year old. How would I afford a baby?" Jade said warping her arms around her stomach.
"I don't know Jade, but I don't want to be introduced to the acting community as a guy with a kid." I said as if I didn't know those words would hurt her.
"Fuck you Oliver!" Jade spat and marched out of the R.V. slamming the metal door behind her. The R.V. shock. I peered out the window through the blinds. She angrily went to her car but once she was in there and slammed the door shut. She sat there and broke into a fit of tears. I pulled down the blinds and slid down the couch until I was facing the opposite direction.
"You did what you had to." I muttered to myself.
5 years later.
"Hey Becky I bought you a muffin." A voice from behind me said wrapping her long tanned arms around my neck and kissing the dip of it.
"Thanks Regina." I said giving her a light kiss on the cheek before reaching for the brown paper bag on the coffee table. I un-scrunched the top of it to reveal two blue-berry muffins. "Blueberry my favorite." I commented before greedily grabbing one of the muffins and peeling off the paper casing and placing it on the coffee table.
"So later Sonya is coming over to do our hair and make-up for the Emmy's tonight." Regina informed, placing a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear.
"What time?" I asked after swallowing a mouthful of muffin.
"4." Regina said fishing through her purse. "I've got a teeth whitening at 10, so I'll have to leave in 20 minutes to beat traffic." She explained.
Regina was Beck's girlfriend of 2 years. They met for chemistry read on a movie they both starred in, Tricking death, clearly they both got the leading rolls. After the movie they kept in touch and eventually got together.
I checked the time, it was 9:05. "Do you want to sit down and watch some T.V. with me?" I asked scouting over on the white leather sofa.
"Maybe just a little." Regina said making a signal with her hands that meant small. Regina made her way over to the sofa and kicked her feet up onto the coffee table and cuddled into my chest. "Turn on E!" Regina ordered rubbing her head against my chest.
"Sure." I said grabbing the remote and switching over from abc to E!.
E news was on.
"A video has been circling around the web of Jade West and her three kids at the world premier of her latest animated movie- Flash!- and a reporter doing an interview on her daughter Ellie was way out of line. Take a look." The reporter said.
"Have you seen this?" Regina asked me.
"No." I replied. Regina didn't know about Jade.
"It's absolutely sick!" Regina spat.
"Hey Ellie!" A reporter from behind the camera called for a petite girl known as Ellie to most of America.
Ellie walked over to him and smiled a toothy grin. "Hey." She smiled.
"Congratulations on your part in the movie. Do you want to tell us about your character?"
"Em.. I play Haley, Josie's little sister. I don't say much I just make baby noises." Ellie giggled.
"So your character has a great relationship with her father, what's yours like?"
"See what a sicko." Regina commented.
"Who is your dad?"
A young brown haired woman came out from the background from another interview with two children Ellie's age in her hands- one boy, one girl.
"You're a sick, sick man. Ellie let's go!" Jade West spat angrily ushering the dark haired girl away from the reporter and hoisted her up onto her onto her hip, creasing the beautiful red dress that clung to her hourglass figure.
"What's your take on this, tweet us E!News with your take on this."
"It's disgusting, practically everyone in America knows that Jade was a teen mom, who's boyfriend didn't want anything to do with those kids." Regina said explaining all too much of what I already knew.
"Yeah." I agreed.
"I swear if I met the person that would leave a girl just because she was pregnant I'd, I'd murder him." Regina exaggerated.
"Maybe he had a good reason." I said scratching the back of my neck.
"Not a good enough one. At least I'll know you'll never do that." Regina said drawing circles aimlessly on my chest.
"Yeah." I muttered
