I have always wondered how girls get themselves into these situations. How could they allow themselves to be so caught up in the moment that they let themselves get pregnant? I use to judge these girls like they were beneath me because they had made this mistake. If this teaches me anything it's not to judge people before you walk a mile in their shoes.

My mother would tell me things like this happen because teenagers feel untouchable. That we walk around thinking like nothing will happen to me; that it will happen to other girls but not me. I never thought this was true about myself. I knew everything there was to know about protection, but felt this untouchable feeling when Michael and I were together. That it was meant to be that we were together and nothing bad was going to happen. Protection never even crossed my mind in the moment.

I'm paying for that now.

To say the least Tess was in shock when I told her the news but in true Tess fashion she said that everything was going to be okay. That she would help me in any way she could.

Even with her kind words I am still in the same situation. Completely at a lost to what to do; I wish I could just make this all go away.

-Michael-

I know his back before I enter the trailer. I am half away tempted just to get lost for a couple of hours, till after dark. When I know for sure he will be pasted out from drinking a twelve pack of beer. He has been gone for two weeks and I just wish he would stay gone.

As tempting as it is I know he will be waiting for me. So I take a deep breath and enter the trailer.

The smell of cigarettes and beer hit me in the face almost making me lose my lunch. The trailer is a mess when beer cans litter the floor. The front door of the trailer opens to the living room where my dad, Hank is sitting with a woman.

She is not what I would call attractive; she has on clothes from the 80's, blonde frizzy hair and a face that looks like she has been punched way too many times.

"Michael, there you are where have you been?" My dad and the woman get up and make their way to me at the front door.

"Uh, school dad."

"Oh well, I want you to meet someone. Son, this is your new step mom Sunshine." What the fuck, my new step mom is he out of his ever loving mind. Sunshine raises her hand up to mine I shake it without much thought.

"So nice to meat you Michael," she says with a southern drawl.

"So, where did you two kids meet?"

"Well, he would to come into the strip club. He would always give me the best tips." Sunshine says with a laugh and I am vomiting on the inside.

"Well anyways Son, I more news Sunshine and I are moving to her place." Ah so this is goodbye, I couldn't be any happier; finally the whole place to myself with having to worry about my dad.

"Ok, so when are you leaving."

"Oh, just came by to say hello; we are on our way out now."

"Ok, I'll just be in my room."

I make it to my room as fast as possible to get away from them. My dad had never been around much as it was but now he was most likely going to be gone for a while and I am very happy about it.

I just want to be alone.

-Liz-

I have never noticed how annoying Max is until this very moment.

Sitting in his parents living room listening him go on and on about high school football. I wonder if I'm so annoyed because I am so on edge about telling him about the baby. I know he is going to freak out when he finds out about Michael and me.

"Max, I have to tell you something." I say cutting him off.

"What is it Lizzie, is this important?" He seems annoyed that I cut him off on is rant. Like talking about football is so important.

"Yeah it's pretty important. I'm pregnant Max." He takes in a sharp breathe and closes his eyes a few times.

"Umm, are you sure?"

"Yeah, I took a test it came back positive."

"Wow, you hear in sex Ed that these things can happen. I just never thought it would happen to us." Ok, I'm confused Max and I have never had sex.

"What what are you talking about?"

"You know that you can get pregnant off of like Pre cum, you know when we were fooling around."

I'm just staring at him in shock he thinks the baby is his.

"Max, I don't want to lie to you. So, I'm just going to be straight forward and tell you that I cheated on you."

"What!! So you cheated and now you're pregnant. Do you think I'm just supposed to be okay with this? How could you do this to me Liz, I love you."

"It was a mistake Max, it was the night we had that fight and I met Tess at that party."

"Oh, so we have one little fight and you go off and fuck… who did you fuck Liz?" He is so angry I swear his whole face has turned red from yelling at me.

"I don't see how it's important, it's over now." When Max finds out it was Michael he is going to freak out. He has always said he doesn't like how Michael looks at me.

"It is very important, or do you not even know his name?" He looks me up and down like I'm the biggest slut in the whole world.

"It was Michael Guerin."

"So basically you let him use you and weren't even smart enough to use anything? You know what kind of guy he is, I have told you a million times."

I know Max has every right to be upset with me and I deserve it but I feel bad enough. I am pregnant after all.

"Maybe, I should just go Max."

"Yeah, maybe you should." Max says as he walks out of the room as far away from me as possible.
