(A.N) sorry it took so long to update! But I've been busy with studying 'cause my end of the school papers coming up! Enjoy!
"What do you think you're doing attracting guards to my other business?" Elm hisses in my ear. It just now accurse to me that Brute looks a lot like a guard, he's got the arms and muscle, but a heart as soft as dough.
"Mmmmm! Mhmhmm!" I try to make it out but Elm's hand is still clapped on my mouth and I'm too afraid of what he's been touching for me to lick his hand. Elm realizes this and takes his hand away. "Why did you give us Morphing?" I hiss back, crouched in this ally I feel very powerful over Elm. "You nearly got us killed!"
Elm chuckles sadly. "not as much trouble as you would have if your parents had found the actual birth control pills!"
"Oh no!" I protest. "They were more mad about the morphling!" I'm as pissed as possible now. "What were you thinking?"
"I was thinking," Elm says it like I'm dumb. "That if you were going on birth control than it wouldn't be much worse than Morphling." I roll my eyes and shake my head. I'm in no mood to argue and I have completely forgotten why I came to Elm in the first place.
"What ever!" I say angrily. "you're wrong about my parents. You know who they are and why they don't like it." I stand up and check around the corner for Brute. When I turn back I notice Elm's eyes are locked on my butt. "Stop that!" I say and his eyes snap back to mine.
I storm out of the ally before he has a chance to look at anything else on me. I don't know why but I run for the woods. Where I would be meeting Max if he could still get out of his parent's sight!
I pretty much crash through the woods; blindly looking through my hate for Elm at the trees in front of me. That might be the reason that I crashed right into a tree before I reached the clearing. Right before I crash to the group a pair of sturdy arms an case me. At first I think of Elm and thrash about but instead of his voice (that would no doubt be cursing me out for hitting him) I hear laughter.
"Calm down! I gocha!" Max's voice comes through and I stop fighting as I collapse. Max looks down at me with pity, which makes me mad for some reason. Have I been having mood swings lately or what?
"no, you don't got me." Max looks confused and lets go of me. "THAT STUPID ELM AND HIS GOD DAMN PILLS WITH THOSE-!" I start yelling at the top of my lungs and stomping my feet on the ground. Max laughs at me and puts his hand over my mouth to quiet me, then leans down so his face is level with mine.
"You saw him?" I nod dumbly. "Did he do it on purpose?" again I nod, to this he says: "Alright, I'm sure my dad has some kind of gun in the house." He takes away his hand and looks around.
"No, don't shoot him!" I say. "that'll get us no where." I'm angry again, no I'm not angry, yes I am, no I'm not. URG! Why can't I make up my mind! Max puts an arm around me and kisses my head.
"Are you alright?" he asks. I frown, I STILL can't make up my mind!
"I dunno." I confide. "One minute I'm angry, the next I'm not…" I trail off. Memory of my first part in the prank comes back. When I made up mood swings. I feel sad, no, happy, no sad, no happy. "URG!" I shout. I stomp my foot and Max takes a step back.
"Emery?" his tone is quizzical.
My eyes grow wide when I realize what (if I'm right) this could mean. I start to pace back and forth, Max still seems oblivious as to why I'm upset. I can't think strait, my mind is going to the worst possible situations.
Max comes and stands in front of me, blocking my path. "Emery." He takes my shoulders. "What Is Going On?"
I take his shoulders. "Max…" I say in a controlled tone. "What if I'm really pregnant?"
