Author's Note: This is a 'what if' story to contradict my fanfic "Time to face the Music". It is not necessary to read the other first, but if you haven't read it yet, please do. This is an Angela and Jordan pairing, so if you don't like, don't read. The majority of this chapter comes from my last story, but there is a slight change. This chapter is basically background info before I actually start writing.
Chapter 1
Angela and Jordan are in Jordan's room studying. Angela was a junior now, and Jordan, thanks to the help of Brian and summer school, was now a senior. After a half hour of some honest studying (Yeah right), Angela moved to Jordan's side of the bed, kissing him on the chin as she snuggled into the warmth of his arms.
7 months they had been back together, and not once had Jordan ever again pressured sex. Sure they had their occasional heated make out sessions, but it never went any further. It was as if Jordan had given up on the idea of just doing it, and actually was enjoying being in a relationship.
"You're beautiful," Jordan said as he stroked Angela's cheek.
"That it hurts to look at me?" she added with a laugh.
"Sometimes it does," he said in all seriousness, leaning in and engaging Angela in a passionate kiss.
"I think I'm ready…no…I know I'm ready to be with you" Angela said in a husky whisper. Jordan seemed to hesitate at first, but it wasn't long before…
About 2 months later, sometime in January…
"I think I might be pregnant…"
"WHAT?" Rayanne and Rickie screamed in unison.
"Shhh…not so loud" Angela said, checking the restroom a second time to make sure there was no one to overhear their conversation.
"Wait a second…it isn't possible…" Rayanne giggled. "Unless…you and Jordan…?"
"Yes, Rayanne, we did it." Angela confirmed as a dreamy smile crossed her face.
"And you didn't tell us?" Rayanne frowned.
"That's not the point." Angela sighed.
"Of course it isn't. The point is that we need to go to the corner store."
Hour later in girl's restroom…
"What does it say? What does it say?" Rayanne squealed as she jumped up and down.
"It says that I'm pregnant." Angela eyes filled with tears as she ran out the door, ignoring Rayanne and Rickie, who were calling after her.
At Chase house…
Angela lay on her bed crying. She had been doing this for an hour; ever since she found out she was pregnant and decided to skip the rest of school.
"What am I going to do?" Angela mumbled to herself as she sat up and wrapped her arms about her knees. "My parents are going to kill me…oh my god…they'll disown me and throw me out on the street…and what about Jordan…don't want to ruin his reputation…he'll never talk to me again…I can't stay here…that's it…I'll leave…yes…I'll run away." Angela rambled on and on before jumping up and digging through her closet. Finally finding her suitcase, she started to pack clothes and other essentials. Moments later Rayanne and Rickie barged into her room.
"Angela, what are you doing?" Rickie exclaimed in shock as he stared at the piles of clothes.
"I'm leaving…running away…I just can't stay here and have…a…baby…" Angela stuttered as she broke down into sobs.
"Oh, Angelika, it's going to be okay" Rayanne said as she pulled her into a hug.
"No its not…I had sex…I got pregnant…now my parents are going to kill me…and Jordan will hate me forever." she said crying harder.
"Well…if you must leave then we're going with you." Rayanne stated with a smile.
"Really?" Angela asked, her tears starting to subside.
"Of course…we're not letting you go alone…and plus you are definitely going to need help with this baby." Rickie chimed in causing Angela to laugh. At that moment, Angela's bedroom door swung open.
"Mom? What…what are you doing here?" Angela choked out.
"I could be asking you the same thing. Shouldn't you be at school? And what is all this…do you plan on going somewhere sometime soon?"
Author's note: Okay…so this is just the beginning…please review…they are very helpful…I hope to get chapter 2 up as soon as possible.
