Alexis was sitting in her apartment she was renting with her friend Emily, she had spent the afternoon angrily sulking around trying to ignore the drama that had been unfolding around her. She didn't want to get up and get the door, to much work. She sighed when the person obviously wasn't going to give up anytime soon.

"Tyler. What are you doing here?" She asked when she saw her friend standing at the door. She wasn't surprised to see him but he only came over to steal food from the girls most of the time.

"I saw you running out of your first class sobbing. I thought that maybe you needed some cheering up. Or even a friend." He said giving a half smile.

"You didn't have to do this." She replied letting him in none the less.

"Eh, it's what friends do." He smiled as he sprawled out in the chair and Alexis sat on the couch. "So did you like fail a test or something?" He joked.

"No, that might be better than what actually happened."

Flashback:

Alexis stayed after her class pretending she had a question about today.

Mr. Roule was looking over some papers and didn't notice her at first.

"Mr. Roule?" She asked making him look up suddenly.

"Alexis, there's no one else in here you don't have to call me that." He winked at her, getting up he walked over to her. She could feel his warm breath as he inched himself closer to her and backed her onto the front desk. His hands slid gingerly across her hips and planted themselves behind her on the desk making it impossible for her to escape.

"Please get off. It's to close, I don't like it." I said turning my face away from him as he tried to kiss her.

"Oh come on." He pouted.

"I'm pregnant." She said looking back at him.

He moved off her suddenly.

"What?" He asked confused.

"Do I have to spell it out for you? It's simple."

"NO, you can't be pregnant." He said clenching his fists.

"Well I am."

"Do you have any idea what this will do to me."

"You… Try what this will do to me. Or did you forget that my dad is a writer and that I am a straight A student."

"Alexis I don't want this baby. I'm done with you. And I want you out of my class… If you tell anyone this is my baby I'll make you suffer." He said, she just stood there. When she didn't move he took her by the arm and dragged her out slamming the door behind her.

"My mom's a cop." She said under her breath before she started crying. People in the hall glanced at her but no one stopped to see what was the matter or try to help her. Slinging her bag over her shoulder she ran out of the hall.

-End Flashback-

"So then what happened." Tyler asked.

She didn't know if she should tell him or not, she knew she could trust him. No, she couldn't risk it. "I'm ah…. I'm… Pregnant." She finally said.

"It's his isn't it." She said nothing. "You don't have to tell me. But at least tell me if your ok."

"Yeah I'm ok. I just am still trying to wrap my head around it, and then with everything that happened today I just have been really stressed." She said tiredly. He got up and sat next to her.

"I can imagine." He said laying his hand on her knee. "You know, I can think of something that can take your mind off of it." She looked up at him.

"What might that be?"

"Come on." He said standing up and pulling her up.

"What are we doing?" She whined not feeling like doing anything.

"I am taking you out for dinner and maybe some ice cream and there will be no complaining and no nonsense of you picking up the bill." He smiled pulling her out the door.

The summer air was warm on her skin and she breathed in deep letting the air fill her lungs. They walked about a block to a small deli that served these amazing onion rings.

"So anyway my dad is sitting on the couch and I snuck up behind him wanting to get the last shot. So I'm right behind me and he spun around dressed as a zombie and scared me to death, then he just shot me and won right then and there. It was the most disappointing thing ever." He laughed and so did she.

"And how does that make you feel Alexis?" He asked smiling.

"Well Yah see doc." She replied laughing, actually laughing for the first time in what seemed like forever.

"Are my ears deceiving me or was that an actual laugh." She rolled her eyes at him dramatically. A waitress brought them a plate of rings and Alexis grimaced. "I take it baby don't like rings?"

"Doesn't, and no obviously not. You go ahead though. I think I can handle the salad." She smiled half heartedly.

"Do you always have to correct me?" He asked stuffing his mouth with a ring.

"Yes and you are such a pig." She laughed.

"Does it turn you on?"

"Oh yeah." She said rolling her eyes.

"I'm glad you are feeling better. I hate seeing you in the dumps." He said taking her hand. She could feel her heart skip a beat.

"Thank you for bringing me out tonight. It's better than being alone and eating probably nothing."

"I would never let you starve." He smiled. She smiled back happily.
