A/N: Gwen's so hard! GAH!
Disclaimer: you should know by now. Do I really have to write these anymore?
Julie leaned back, sick of studying. "Gwen, why do we have to go over this again? The guys aren't even here. We don't actually need to study!"
"Because I don't want to go have to face Kevin…" Gwen stared down at the book, eyes welling up with tears as cold as ice.
It was almost every day now that Julie heard something about Kevin from Gwen. It wasn't uncommon to hear about a fight or about something he said or about something he did.
And more than once, Gwen had cried over something that was Kevin related.
She loved him. It was clear.
Ben. Well, Ben was Ben. Julie had no worries about her own boyfriend. Ben was loyal as a golden retriever and would never do anything stupid unless- She scratched that thought. Ben always did something stupid. It was a given.
"What did he do?" asked the dark haired girl, getting up to move to onto the couch beside her redheaded friend. "Kevin's a moron, keep that in mind, Gwen."
Instead of replying, the green-eyed girl put her head on her friend's shoulder, letting her book rest in her lap. "Julie, we're getting out of college soon, right?"
What a sadly simple question. "Yes," replied the Asian-American, not sure of where this was leading. It could be in a good direction, but it could also be in a bad direction. Depending on how bad Gwen was hurting.
"Jules, I did something really stupid." One delicate hand reached up to wipe away cold tears from her emerald orbs. "I mean really, really stupid." Her voice was quaking. "I'm so screwed…"
"How bad could it be?" asked Julie, eyeing her friend questioningly now. Something had really upset Gwen. And that wasn't an easy thing to do when in high school she had helped save the whole universe. Multiple times. So upsetting Gwen was not an easy thing to do.
"Promise not to tell anyone?" asked Gwen, now pulling herself together enough to look her Asian-American friend straight in the eyes. She held out her little finger. "Pinky promise?"
Back to being in elementary school, Julie held out her pinky and they linked their smallest fingers together.
Maybe Gwen was just being paranoid. Or maybe this was something serious…
"Why can't you face Kevin?" Julie asked, turning so that she was looking right at Gwen. "What did he do?"
"I just can't tell him that I'm pregnant," sighed Gwen, tucking her knees to her chest. "It's him, I know it. I've only been with Kevin. I only want to be with Kevin."
Julie saw the problem now. "Gwen, Kevin understands."
"It's not that, Jules. It's Kevin. We've had this discussion when he threatened to leave me that one time…" Gwen wiped away a few stray tears. "He doesn't want kids. And even though we're engaged and everything-"
"Why are you two not telling me and Ben all these things?" asked Julie, totally stunned by how much her best friend and her best friend's now fiancé had been keeping from her and her own super powered boyfriend. She hadn't been alerted to any engagement and now Gwen was pregnant and suddenly life was getting complicated for them all.
Her gaze turned away from her friend. "Julie, Kevin's like that and I can't help it. He lives in secret around here, you know? He's supposed to be in Bellwood, but he's here, watching out for me." Gwen blinked a few times, the tears running down her cheeks. "I love him for it and I don't know if I could live without him, but now…"
Julie just pulled her friend into a hug. "Gwen, just tell him. Kevin knows how to deal with things. He's a big boy."
"On the outside at least," said the redhead, putting on a shy smile. "He's got the mentality of a five year old on the inside. He can't take much more than the gas bill on his credit card some days."
Just then came a knocking on the window and a familiar face staring in. He hit the window a little harder, the glass nearly shattering. Kevin stared at it for a few seconds, watching to make sure it really didn't break before he jimmied the stupid lock on it (it really didn't keep people out) and pulled the window open. "Hello, ladies," he said softly before trying to shove his broad shoulders through the window.
Gwen stared at him, horrified that he might actually get stuck in the window frame. It was something very Kevin-like for him to do.
"Little help?" he called in, hoping that no one outside saw him stuck in a window. He wasn't even supposed to be hanging around the Princeton campus. How Ben got here, he had no idea… Probably with his fame and a few bribes…
"I vote we shove him out the window," giggled Julie.
Instead of replying, Gwen stood up and made her way over to Kevin. "You should really try the stairs," said the redhead, kissing his forehead.
"Thanks for helping me out, bab-" His face turned petrified when her fingers pressed to his temple.
"Kevin, I have something to tell you, but first, I'm sending you back out the window, okay? Okay. Buh-bye." She pressed lightly and her boyfriend was gone in a flash.
Julie stared at her friend. "Do you think he's going to be okay? You just pushed him out a forth floor window."
Gwen flicked her hand. "He's Kevin. He'll be fine."
A/N: hahahaha! God, Kevin, never come through a fourth story window! Review!
