Amber's POV

It was the night of the prom. I was so excited! Even though it was almost over, I was having a great time hanging out with my best friends. Alfie, Nina, Fabian, Patricia, Jerome, Joy, Mara and Mick.

Mick.

My Mick.

Even though I was with Alfie, I felt sparks between me and Mick whenever we shared quick glances with one another. I wonder if he feels the same way.

I know he's with Mara, but I can't help it. I loved him.

I love him.

I'm in love with him.

I have to say something. It's slowly killing me. Even if Mara finds out that I still love him, it'll be worth it.

Even if Alfie finds out, he'll get over it.

I have to tell Mick I love him.

Now's my chance. I think of what to say so I'm not babbling, and slowly walk over to where he's at.

He's standing by the punch bowl away from everyone.

I look at him.

I smile at him.

I talk to him.

"So, Mick. How are you and Mara?" I ask him.

I must be an idiot! That's not what I wanted to say!

He just looks at me. I tense up.

"We're fine..." He answers. He gives me a warm smile. "But we're no where close to what me and you had."

I smile at what he said and feel my cheeks turning scarlet. Say something!

"Yeah, we were pretty good, huh?" I smile a warm smile. Almost as warm as his.

He laughs. "Yeah. Maybe sometime we can get together and catch up, yeah?" My heart skips a beat. I'm smiling like an idiot.

"It'll be our little secret." He looks around the room to make sure no one's watching. He kisses me.

"Mick! You're dating Mara!" I whisper-yell at him.

"I told you, It'll be our little secret." He smiles. I can't help but smile back.

"Alright, but if Mara finds out you're taking the blame!" He smiles wider.

"I promise."

And he walks away.

It's now two weeks after the prom, and Mick and I are at the table in the kitchen.

At midnight.

We do this every night. Our secret dates. We never get caught. If we hear something we go to the laundry room and hide.

"So, Amber?" He askes me. I tilt my head signaling him to continue.

"We've been secretly dating for what? Two weeks now?" I nod. "Why don't we try... something?"

I smile in amusement. I cross my arms in front of my chest. "Like what?" I giggle.

"Watch, and learn." He says. He's moving towards me.

He picks me up bridal style and carries me to the couch.

"Mick! What are you doing?" I playfully ask him. He sets me down. His eyes slide closed and he leans in. I do the same.

We kiss, our lips moving in sync with the others. We pull apart gasping for air.

"Mick, why'd we have to move to the couch to kiss?" I ask him in confusion. He smiles.

"More... padding."

"Padding for what?"

"This."

He kisses me again, with more passion than ever. I know what's going to happen next. I'm not going to stop it.

His tongue grazes my bottom lip. I quickly grant him access. We're like this for another ten minutes, and then we start with the real fun.

Two weeks pass. I start to worry. It's my time. I haven't started yet. I'm in mine and Nina's room. Nina's in her bed reading her magazine.

"Nina?" I call out. She looks at me.

"Yeah?" She asks before looking back to her magazine.

"I'm late." I say simply hoping she knows what I'm getting at.

She stares at me. In shock or confusion I'm not sure.

"Please don't be mad!" I say when I know that she's staring at me in shock.

"I'm just... I... I'm not." She chokes out slowly. I'm more worried than ever. I look at her. "Who?"

I look at her embarrassed. "Mick." I whisper.

"But, he's with Mara... he... he cheated on her?" She asks in disbelief.

I just nod.

"C'mon. We have to make sure you really are pregnant and not just late. Ok?" She asks. I nod again.

In a matter of minutes we are at the drugstore. We quickly pay for the test and get out. We literally run home.

I can't be a teen mom.

I take the test. Nina and I are sitting on the bathroom floor waiting for the test to be done.

This is the longest three minutes of my life.

When three minutes are finally up, I walk to the sink. Nina stays on the floor.

I look at the test. Positive. I'm bawling before I even know it. I'm going to be a teen mom!

Mick.

"Mick!" I yell to Nina.

"What?" She asks me, still trying to calm me down.

"H-he chea-eated on Mar-ra!" I choke out through the tears. "H-he can't be a Da-ad!" I yell.

I run downstairs to his and Fabian's room still bawling. Nina not far behind. I open the door.

"Amber! Are you alright?" Mick asks when he sees me. I shake my head no. He motions for Fabian to leave.

Fabian leaves and shuts the door. I can hear Nina telling him. I look at Mick.

"We ne-ed to tal-alk. No-now." I force out. He pats a spot next to him on his bed. He has his arm around my shoulder, trying to calm me down.

"Ambs, what's wrong?" He asks me.

I answer him when I'm not crying anymore. I whisper to him. "I'm pregnant."

"You're what?" He asks me.

"I'm pregnant." I say more confidently. He removes his arm. I start to cry again.

"Please, please!" I cry. "Don't just abandon me!"

He retreats to my side. He hugs me. "I would never dream of it." I smile. He gets up again.

"Where are you going?" I ask him.

"To break up with the girl that's not the mother of my child." We both smile.

Mara's POV

I'm in my room studying for algerbra when Mick walks in.

"Hey, Mick!" I say. I hug him and sit back down at my desk. "What's up?"

"We need to talk." He says. Is that guilt I see in his eyes?

"About what...?" I ask timidly.

"Us." He says simply.

What? Did he just say we needed to talk about us?

"What?" I ask, slowly turning away from my desk and towards him.

"Mara, I'm sorry. I can't be with you anymore. I... cheated." He whispered, obviously ashamed of himself.

"You, what?" I questioned him.

"I cheated. On you. With Amber." He said still ashamed.

"Why?" I asked him. "Am I not good enough for you?" I ask him, tears staining my face.

"In all honesty, I'm not good enough for you. You've been faithful to me. And I wasn't." He said. That cheered me up a little bit.

"Oh. Well, what did you and Amber do while you were cheating on me then?" I ask, still a little hurt.

"Secret dates, kisses, and..." He trailed off.

"And...? Mick, please tell me you didn't knock her up!" I say, getting worried. not for my own sanity, but for his and Ambers.

"Mara, I really, really, really wish I could." He answered. And with that I stormed out of my room and into the bathroom. I just sat there. Then, I grabbed a notebook, a pen, and my pocket knife.

Mick's POV

I watch her leave. I walk out of her room and walk up to the door, tempted to open it and apologize, but decide against it.

I walk downstairs and rejoin Amber, and the rest of my housemates in my room. I guess they heard about the news.

Nina and Fabian looked at me. I could tell they were ashamed of us. Our immaturaty. We weren't ready to be parents. But, I was ready to try.

Amber looked at me in desperation. I know she wants to know what went on with me and Mara in her room.

I hesitently look over to Alfie. If looks could kill, I'd be digging my own grave.

Patricia and Jerome seemed to be ready to jump out and kill me. Jerome loved Mara, I knew. And Patricia was Mara's best friend. If I were them, I'd kill me too.

Joy didn't seem too into it. She didn't like the three of us. Amber she just had a strong hatred for, we don't really know why. She has the same excuse for me, and she doesn't like Mara because she thinks she stole her best friend. Joy is still nice though. She won't scream our heads off on why she hates us, she just won't talk to us. I can't say I care.

I waved at them all and smiled sheepishly.

"I heard you knocked up Amber. Mate, what got into you? What about Mare?" Fabian asked me. I opened my mouth to speak when we heard a blood curdling shreik from upstairs in the girls dormatories. We all rushed upstairs. Mara.

We checked every room before we checked the bathroom. I ran over and went at the doorknob.

Locked.

I started pounding at the door, screaming and yelling her name.

Nothing.

I eventually kicked the door down and saw a sight I could never un-see.

Mara.

Her blood leaking on the bathroom floor.

A single tear escaped my eye.

I knew I killed her.

Basically, anyways.

She had a pocket knife in her hand and three slits on her wrists.

My eyes wandered the bathroom. I saw nine notes. Each labeled with a name. I read them all before i passed them out to everybody.

Mick,

I hope you and Amber figure everything out. Don't be upset. Even though you drove me to do this, Other things bothered me too. You were just the one that lit the grenade. I love you. I always will.

Amber,

You are the most selfish, ungreatful girl I have ever met. But, I say that in the most loving way. Good luck with Mick and the baby. See you on the other side in about sixty years. Live long.

Fabian,

Ah, my other nerd. We were never that close, but I just wanted to let you know that I think you and Nina are adorable. I'll be watching over you guys at your wedding.

Nina,

I know we never got that close, but I think of us as friends. I think you and Fabian are the cutest couple around! I'll be at your wedding if you know what I mean. Good luck at life.

Patricia,

Thanks for being there for me through thick and thi. I should have listened to you about Mick. Don;t be too upset over me. Find someone who treats you well. Live life to the fullest, Goth Pixie.

Jerome,

I know you liked me, and I'm sorry I waited until now to believe you about Mick. But, don't be too upset over me. I'll see you at the end of your long, long life. Find someone better than me that will believe you that their boyfriend isn't worth it.

Alfie,

I bet you feel the same as I do right now. Don't, under any circumstances, do what I did. Your life is too precious and perfect to give it up. Keep joking around with Jerome.

Joy,

I know you don't like me, but I just wanted to say I was always envious of you. Always. Live forever, Joy.

Mick and Amber's baby,

You should have been in my belly...

There was blood drops on the last one. I didn't realize I was crying until I looked in the mirror. I wiped the tears off and handed out the notes. They one by one started to cry as well. I tucked the baby's note into my pocket.

I look back to Mara's now lifeless body.

I can't believe I drove her to this.

I killed Mara.

So, there it is. My first oneshot. Please tell me what you guys think. It would mean a lot to me. And, if you have any constructive critisism it's appreciated.
