Riley witnessed as Lucas exploded right in front of her.
"Riley!" Lucas screamed at her, "If you have an abortion, you would be killing a baby and what an opportunity they had for life. Why would you want to do that?"
"Lucas, listen. I don't want you getting upset. It's not fair. I am only 17. You are 18. If I have a baby, we would have to dedicate our entire lives to raising our child. Having a child hurts like hell. I'm not putting my body through that much pain until I'm with someone that's worth it, because right now you don't want anything to do with me," Riley said.
"Riley, that's crazy," Lucas replied.
"Is it?" Riley asked, "Last night, you yelled at me for putting my clothes back on when all you had to do was talk to me about how you felt about us. Now you're flipping out because if I were to be pregnant, you'd want me to deliver the baby. Well, I've got news for you Lucas, it's my body, and my life, but it's OUR relationship."
Riley started sobbing. She stormed out of Lucas's house. Just to make sure, she went back to the store and bought the three pregnancy tests that she bought last time. When she got home, and checked them, they were all negative. Riley was relieved. She couldn't imagine what Lucas would do if she put a burden like that on their shoulders. Riley slide down the wall like she always does with her cheeks stained with tears. She promptly whipped out her phone to tell Maya.
"Maya?" Riley said in a shaky voice.
"What's wrong peaches?" Maya asked.
"Well, there's good news and then there's bad news."
"Tell me the good news."
"Ok, I took three more tests, and I'm not pregnant."
"And the bad news?" Maya asked.
"Lucas and I got into a fight. I can't talk to him. He's been unhappy with our relationship."
"Don't worry Riles, I got your back."
"Thanks Maya."
"You're Welcome."
"Talk to you later?"
"Yeah, Bye Riley I'll see you soon."
"Bye, Maya."
In school the next day, Lucas approached Riley by her locker.
"Riley, we need to take a break."
"Why Lucas, Is there something you think is wrong? Oh, wait I know, you already told me.
1. I'm a whore because all I do is have sex with you.
2. I was a Riley Super Klutz and got myself pregnant. And . . .
3. I don't want to be a teenage mom. Wow what a bitch I am! Now I totally understand why you want to break-up with me."
"Riley," Lucas paused and tried to speak but instead he put Riley up against the lockers and kissed her so hard that it began to hurt. Normally Riley would take Lucas in her trembling hands. This time she slapped him straight across the face.
