Chapter 4
"Poor Trina, she's lost her head now that Jenny went away." Mrs. Greenley said, setting down the phone. "I hope Jenny calls soon, Trina sounds really upset, even if she tried not to let it show in her voice. She needed Jenny, but Jenny's in LA with Luke on her well deserved vacation. I have no idea why Jenny is so distant with me lately, but I think she nows more of what's going on between me and her father than she lets on."
Mrs. Greenley was glad her dear little Jenny had left the house, now she could sit around and think about what to do. Her and mr. grennley hadn't been getting along lately, seeing as he was always gone and always grumpy when he got home. It was time for a change, and Mrs. Greenley knew just what to do. The problem was, how to tell Mr. Greenley and the kids...
"Look over there Jenny, see that?" Luke said, pointing out the car window at large and beautiful building. It was one of the most spetacuarl things I have ever seen. "See that? It's the Heritage Square Museum."
"It's amazing Luke." Jenny said truthfully, watching as it went whizzing past them with the other buildings. Jenny had spent all morning with Luke. Luke was showing her all of the fantastic sights that LA had to offer someone from Clayton, Indiana which was about everything there. He pointed out museums, librairys, art gallerys, and all kinds of famous things that Jenny had never seen or heard of before. He pointed out normal things too, including a little bakery that sold the best chocolate cake ever, if you wanted to wait in line for an hour to get it that is, and a bus stop where he had once been kissed by a totaly stranger who said she was his biggest fan. Jenny was having a wonderful time, just as Luke had promised her she would, but she was still worried about seeing Geri Lynn again. I mean, I dated her ex-boyfriend and all, Jenny sighed, looking out her window as Luke rambled on and on about things. She has perfect rights to hate me, seeing as I kinda broke them up with out meaning to, of course.
"What's wrong Jenny?" Luke asked, pulling her back to the present. Jenny shook her head, gicing him the best fake smile she could come up with. "Alright, if you're sure nothing's wrong then. Oh, look at that! That's the Walk of fame, you know?"
"Yeah." Jenny said, unexcitedly. She was getting tired again, and more than a little anxious. "Hey Luke, when are we going to get to your place to surprise Geri Lynn?"
"Oh, in a moment." Luke said casually, as though it was a throw away question. "We'll be there in five minutes or so. Can you believe all this great stuff is on the way to my place?"
"Your not serious are you?" Jenny asked, laughing when Luke nodded. "Come on, we could not have driven around this long to not be at your place already."
"Okay, I had the driver take a few truns in the wrong direction, but can you blame me? LA is awesome, and I just want you to see all of it." Luke said honestly, making Jenny smile again. "You deserve the whole package, and I intend to give it to you Jenny. I have no idea what that means, but it sounds good, right?"
"You crack me up Luke, you really do." Jenny giggled, punching him in the arm playfully. He smiled wickedly, pouncing on top of her to push her down against the floor of the Limo, looming above her. He didn't do anything, just held her down, making her a little uneasy. "Luke, what are you doing?"
"Just this." Luke said, beginning to tickle her. She squirmed, laughing as he continued to tickled her all over. Luke didn't stop until the driver told them they were in front of his house. "Look Jenny, there it is! This is where I live."
"Holy crap." Jenny said slowly, her mouth falling open. It was magnificent, all tall and sleek and gigantic looking. It was at least three stories tall, with large windows to take advantage of the light source it had, being set up on a hill. The building was a strange tan color, with white and dark brown around the door and window borders. The lawn was beautiful, with flowers and trees everywhere you looked, but Jenny was more interested in the tiny little pond where some baby ducks where swimming around playfully. It was beautiful all around, and Jenny was excited that she was going to be staying there, even if Geri Lynn would be there.
"Do you like it?" Luke asked as they stepped out of the limo onto the cobblestone path. Jenny just looked at him, dumbstruck. "Well? Say something already Jenny."
"How could anyone not like this house. It's beautiful, and the lawn, and the duck pond." Jenny said quickly, turning around to motin at everything as she said it. "It's like my fantasy home, if I wasn't poor and unimportant, ou know?"
"Yeah, it's cool I guess." Luke said, looking up sourly at his home. "But it doesn't feel like a home should to me. A home should be filled with laughter and family. Mine's all empty and silent, except for my music and when Geri comes to visit after school of when she doesn't have classes, but I'm mostly all alone in this place and it sucks."
"Well, you have me for two weeks to play up your little fatasy of having someone around the house." Jenny said sweetly, taking his arm. He looked up at her and smiled, making Jenny feel happy. Jenny was happy she could make Luke happy after everything he had done for her. "But believe me on this. By the end of the two weeks, you'll be begging for me to leave and you'll lock the door behind me. You'll love being on your own by the time I leave, trust me."
"That can never happened." Luke said, leading her to the door. "Would you like a tour of the house? Or would you rather get lost on your own?"
"A tour sounds good, but I have to call my mother first, remember?" Jenny said, ulling out her cell phone. Luke nodded, showing her into the sitting room so that she could have som e privacy. Luke left her, saying he would be in the front hall when she was done. Jenny was surprised when he father answered the phone. "Dad? What are you doing home?"
"Got off my trip a little earlier than I thought I would princess." Jenny sighed. Even though she was a senior in high school her father still called her princess. "Need to talk to mom huh? Hold on."
"Hello?" Mrs. Greenley said, picking up on the other line. Jenny greeted her and told her that they were at Luke's house. "Alright dear, I'll let you be. But before you go, Trina called yesterday."
"What did she want Mom?" Jenny asked, worried. Trina only called her when it was really important, especially it she ahd called that late, after Jenny had left.
"She wouldn't tell me, but it sounds bad dear. I think you should call her right away." Mrs. Greenley said. Jenny sighed, telling her mother goodbye before hanging up the phone to call Trina. "Hello, is Trina there?"
"This is her." A voice much unlike Trina's rasped. Jenny it her lip, Trina mus have been crying to sound this bad. "Who's this?"
"Trina, it's Jenny, how are you?" As soon as Jenny had told Trina it was her, Trina had burst into tears. "My my god, Trina what is it? Are you okay?"
"No, I'm terrible!" Trina cried, wailing into the phone. "I hate it Jenny, what am I going to do?"
"I can't help you if you don't tell me what's going on first Trina." Jenny said softly, trying to calm Trina down a little. But it didn't work, Trina was going ballistic on the other end, her wails getting louder and louder. "Trina, tell me what's wrong, please!" Jenny was getting really worried, thinking something terrible had happened, like Steve had crashed and died or Trina was moving to Europe like Scott had. Jenny nearly puked when she though about Scott, but she remembered Trina needed her. She could puke over Scott later. "Please tell me what's upsetting you."
"Jenny, I - I'm." Trina said, gasping for air. "I don't know how to tell you! I'm so scared Jenny!"
"It's okay trina, I'm here for you, just tell me." Jenny said sweetly. "I promise to help you the best I can with whatever it is."
"No one can help me!" Trina wailed again, starting back up. Jenny was sure Trina's room must be flooded by the way she was crying and carrying on. "Jenny, I'm pregnaut!"
Jenny nearly dropped the phone. Trina was pregnaut? How could this happen? How could Steve and Trina be so careless as to get pregnaut? This had to be a joke, a really mean joke they were playing to freak her out, that was it, Jenny though, returning to the conversation.
"You're not serious, are you?" Jenny asked quietly. Trina didn't answer at first, but then...
"Yes Jenny, I am serious. Steve and I are having a baby." Trina said, her voice filled with mixed emotions. "I had to tell you Jenny, I'm sorry if I ruined your vacation with Luke before it started. You don't need to come home, I just needed to know that you would help me if you could as far as dealing with this."
"Trina, does Steve know yet?" Jenny asked, holding her throbbing head in her free hand. "Did you tell him yet?
"No." Trina sobbed, and Jenny sighed. "I wanted you to know first. I'll call after this phone call, okay?"
"You have to do it now Trina. I'll let you go." Jenny said, fighting with Trina. "If you need me call my cell, okay?"
"Okay Jenny, thanks. And before I go, I want to know if you would concider being my child's godmother. You don't have to tell me now, just think about it okay? Goodbye." Trina said, hanging up the phone before Jenny could answer. Jenny sighed, shutting her phone and flopping down into a chair, closing her eyes. She was shocked about trina being pregnaut, upset by the phone conversation with the sobbing Trina, worried about her parents and what was going on with them at home, worried and anxious about seeing Geri Lynn after everything that had happened with the two of the and Scott, and utterly exhausted from trying to sleep on the plane the night before.
"Somethign wrong Jenny?" Luke asked poking his head around the door. He looked at Jenny were she sat, eyes closed, a strange look on her face. It was something between a grimace and a scoff, all of her face filled with pain and hurt. "God, what happened to you in those few moments I left you alone on the phone?"
"It was Trina. Not just her, but mostly what she said." Jenny sighed, a few small tears slidding doen her face, worring Luke. She opened her eyes to look at him suddenly, startling him. "I can trust you not to tell Geri Lynn, right? Trina and her weren't really frineds, and this is need to know information."
"Yeah, of course I won't tell her." Luke said, moving to sit in the chair next to Jenny. "What's wrong with Trina?"
"A whole lot apparently." Jenny sobbed slightly, crying as she told Luke what Trina had told her. "...And she wants me to be the godmother of her unborn child she's having with Steve, who she hasn't even told yet."
"That's tough, I hope she's okay." Luke said, sighing when Jenny looked up at him like he was crazy.
"Hope she's okay? Luke, she's pregnaut!" Jenny shouted at him, unable to control her emotions anymore. "She is pregnaut, and from the sound of it, she's not ready to do this! And here I am, on vacation when she needs me, and I'm going to be her child's godmother! I don't even know what a godmother does! My parents are driving me crazy, and I think their marriage is going down the drain, and they're pulling me down with them! Not that anyone could pull me down farth that Scptt did though, thank you! He dumbed me for some pastry girl who talks with a British accent! And before yo ask, no I am not okay!"
And then she burst into tears, hiding her face in her hands. Luke bit his bottem lip, pulling Jenny into his arms like he had that night at the resteraunt.
"Well, this is a surprise." A voice said behind them. Jenny and Luke looked around to see none other than Geri Lynn, standing there in the doorway, a frown painting her face.
So now you know what's wrong with Trina, and let me say it was probably easy to guess. But oh on! What's going on with Jenn't mother? Bum Bum BAAAA! LOL
So now Geri Lynn knows everything, whether not not thats a good thing - you'll just have to wait to find out! I'll update soon!
