Julie Taylor set on the toilet seat and stared at the positive pregnancy test as if staring at it hard would change the result. One night. One Drunken night and she was forever tied to Tim Riggins…
Loud music blared from the party. Drowning out all the noise they would surely make Julie was a senior this year Tim home from college for the weekend … she had broken up with matt for good this time. She knew she shouldn't be doing this he was Tim Riggins his number of bed partners rivaled the number of Abraham's descendants. She tried to slow her racing heart by noting the things in the room a red plastic cup upturned on the bed post clothes littered the floor his sheets where black made her think of sex hot and dirty. His lips on her neck distracted her his hair tickled her skin where it teased softly near her shoulder… why? Why was she doing this it was simple she wanted him always had. An unrequited thing she couldn't define…with a tiny shove back on to the bed. His lips where on hers the decision made she would be his in more than just mind now…more than just in soul…he would claim her not knowing she was his to claim…
"Julie Honey come on we gotta get going" her mom called urgently she slipped the test in her jacket pocket. She had to talk to someone she just didn't know who not her mom who had drilled using protection into her head she knew that little speech as well as she knew the pledge of allegiance. She opened the bathroom door to her mom staring her down.
"You're pale Julie."
"Just tired mom." not a complete lie she thought to herself she was dog tired.
Once she got to school, she retrieved her books and waited in the bustle of people until she could escape to the bathroom where she chunked the test in the trash and called tyra. She checked the stalls she was alone. One ring… two …three…
"Hello… Julie." she swallowed the lump in her throat.
"hi." it came out weak she meant for it to sound normal "Do you have time to talk? I need to talk!"
"Ok you're scaring me…"
"I'm pregnant…"
"Jesus Julie What when how and who?"
"First you heard me…when a party a few weeks ago the how should be obvious… the who you have to promise not to yell please don't yell at me…"
"Alright I promise…"
"Tim."
"As in Riggins? I'll kill him!"
"I wanted it Tyra the sex not the…"
"Julie Why honey?"
"I've always had feeling for him and I was drunk and it seemed right at the time…"
"Well you need to tell him while you still have the guts… I heard he's in town today so do it now because as much as I hate what he did he has a right to know…"
"I know I'll tell him today…"
"Julie?"
"Yeah…"
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"Ok get to class before your mom gets wind your not in first period."
"Or that I didn't get my period you mean?"
"That too bye girl…"
"Bye…"
She pulled up the curb next to his house his head ducked under the hood of his truck the stereo in garage blaring out nickel back drowning out her arrival she got out of the car locking it out habit. She took a deep breath. Let it out. She strode forward with more confidence than she felt. She reached him she touched his shoulder. "Tim…" he jumped banging his head on the hood.
"Shit! Ow… hey Jules." he finished calmer.
He took a closer look at her face and saw a mix of different emotions. Julie always wore everything she felt on her face. Right now, he saw fear sadness love anger tension lust.
"Julie I meant to call you I really did I just got busy…I didn't forget you baby."
"Sure you did and don't call me baby I'm not one of your toss away girls who falls for your pretty little platitudes and you're little fuck me smirk…" she had fallen for it but he didn't know that.
"I just came over here to tell you something then you can move on to the next girl…"
"What if I don't want another girl?"
"Oh please just save us that ok! Now let me get out what I came to say…"
"Which would be?"
He looked good today in a pair of bleached out jeans with a hole in the left knee his trade mark checked shirt and ball cap backwards holding his hair out of his pretty green eyes. Focus Julie and just say it she chanted to herself internally.
"Taylor if you don't stop staring at me like that and just spit it out I'll kiss you right here in my drive way in broad daylight for god and every nosy old lady in Dillon to see." he was playing but to her ears it sounded like a threat he'd be more than happy to make good on.
"Well you know we weren't exactly careful when we… and it seems reckless passion has its repercussions…"
"English Jules."
"I'm pregnant." Dead silence.
"Say something say anything say you hate me just speak!" she stared at her shoes.
"You're sure?"
"Positive I'm never late…and well I'm really late." she looked up near tears
"And its mine you're sure?"
"You're the only one I've been with since Matt and that was…"
"forever ago…" she was crying full on moping up tears with the backs of her hands hiccupping sobs crap he didn't do tears he just kissed the stuffing out girls till' they stopped and he couldn't do that with Jules well he could its not like he'd knock her up again… he crushed that urge to dust and gathered her to him as she cried he rubbed her back.
"I'm scared Tim…"
"Me too."
"What do I do my parents are going to kill me…"
"We'll fix it…"
"I can't have an abortion that's murder!"
"Okay…Well I won't let someone else raise my kid I was abandoned I won't do that to my kid."
"Well then I guess our decision is made."
"It looks like we're going to be parents… we can still go to school and do this you know."
"I'm not sure I can tell them."
"You have to Jules in seven months they will notice another living being where there wasn't one before…I'll go with you… you're not going to be alone in this but first why I don't we get a drink I'll have a beer and you a coke!" he kissed her lightly "You can still have that right?"
"I think so yeah…"
"We'll toast to the newest Riggins…"
"Okay why not it's not like my day can get any weirder."
Tomorrow they would tell her parents.
