Chapter 2:
"Well let's see, you never want to hang out anymore, and you don't even want to talk on the phone. Plus you stutter and act all nervous. It's like you're hiding something. Are you hiding something?"
"Well….."
"Well uhm this isn't the place to talk about this." Amy sighed.
"Let's go to my place. Dad will still be at work and we will have the place to ourselves."
"Ok." Amy smiled nervously.
(Fast-forward to Ben's House.)
Ben unlocked the door as he motioned Amy to enter.
"Would you like something to drink or eat?" Ben asked setting his books on the bar table.
"A glass of water would be nice." she smiled.
She took a seat on the large couch in the living room and waited on Ben to return. She tried to play out in her head how she was going to tell him, her first boyfriend, that she was pregnant with another guy's baby. Ricky's of all people!
"Here ya go." he said handing her the glass and taking a seat next to her.
"So what going on, Amy. You know you can tell me anything." he said taking her hand.
She didn't know any other way to tell him other than to just blurt it out.
"I'm pregnant!" she said in a sob.
"But how?! I only kissed you?" he said jumping up.
"Not you, Ricky." she said
"Underwood? Ricky Underwood? The biggest player at our school? You slept with him? Why? Amy why?"
"It was at band camp and I didn't mean to…"
"How can you not mean to have sex?" he yelled.
"It just happened!" she yelled back starting to cry.
Ben sat down in the big leather chair and put his head in his hands. Amy quickly got up and headed out the door leaving her book bag and French horn. Ben didn't even try to stop her. She started to walk towards her house in tears when she heard a car pull up behind her. It was Ricky.
"Get in." he said rolling down his window.
Amy walked to the other side of the car and got in. She wiped away her tears even though she knew Ricky already saw them.
"Where are we going?" Amy asked when they passed the street that she lives on.
"We need to talk." he said giving her a sympathetic smile.
They pulled up to the park. They both got out of the car and headed over to a near by park bench.
"So what's up?" Amy asked faking a smile.
"I've heard some things." he said.
"Like what?"
"Are you pregnant?" he asked looking straight at her.
She shook her head yes.
"Is it mine, you know from band camp?"
"Yes." she whispered.
"When were you going to tell me?"
"I don't know Ricky. I mean I didn't tell Ben till now and let's just say he didn't take it so well. I knew you wouldn't be very happy either." she said looking at him, tears in her eyes.
"Look, Amy. I know nothing of being a father. But I want to be the best father to this baby. I don't want him or her to have a father like I did. If you'll let me I will be there every step of the way." he said taking her hand.
"But what about Grace and Adrian." she asked her heart melting when her took her hand.
"Don't worry about Adrian I don't love her and she gets on my nerves and Grace well just don't worry ok." he smiled and chuckled.
"Didn't you have a thing with Grace tonight?"
"I called and cancelled when I heard that you might be pregnant. So I'm yours for the evening." he smiled stretching out his arms as if he was presenting himself.
Just then her phone started ringing. She looked it was a message from Ben.
Amy I'm sorry please come back.
You left your stuff here.
I love you
"It was from Ben." she said letting a little sob escape.
"What does he want?" Ricky asked a little jealous.
"He said he was sorry and that I left my stuff there."
"Are you going to go back to him." he asked afraid of the answer.
"I have to Ricky. No matter how much you say you're going to help I just don't think I can stand seeing you with a bunch of girls around the baby."
"Amy look. I have strong feelings for you and I really want to give us a shot." he looked deep into her eyes.
"But how will I know you won't leave again."
"You don't but we own a try to our baby."
"Ok." she nodded.
"Now lets go get your stuff." he said standing up and extending his hand.
"Ok." she sniffled.
