A Drop in the Ocean

Amy

Robie pulled me into a hug as we both sobbed for what seemed like forever. Although me and him never got really affectionate at that moment I needed my brother, I needed him. After a few minutes of silence and consolation he moved towards my ear.

"How'd this happen Ames?" now looking in the eyes that reflected his own.


Ricky

I walked into school in search of Adrian, I knew she was pissed at me because I didn't call her over the weekend, but I knew I could make it up to her.

"Looking for someone?" I heard a voice say over my shoulder.

"Oh hi Grace" I said giving a little smirk which made her blush.

"Hi Ricky" she said shyly.

Blondes were never really my type but something about Grace made me want to add her on my list. The innocence she had reminded me of someone… someone I couldn't have.

"I was actually looking for you" I lied.

"Really" she said with hopeful eyes.

"Yea I think you and I could be friends, very good friends actually." I slid my arm around her and started walking. I'd worry about Adrian later she isn't going anywhere.

Amy

As soon as I arrived at school I was back familiar with the first stall in the girls room. Lucky for me I decided to get here early in case this happened. I still couldn't wrap my head around this. As dumb as it sounds I didn't think 15 year olds could get pregnant.

I rinsed my mouth and popped in some gum and headed out the door. And low and behold Ricky trying to seduce Grace, what a pig I thought before someone bumped into my arm.

"Are you jelly?" she asked in a condescending tone.

I sneered at her "No if anyone is jealous it's you." I stated before stomping off.

"Whatever Juergens I see past your little act" Adrian said before she stomped off to smack her "boyfriend".

I moved past all three of them as fast as possible that's one fight I didn't want to be included in. As I reached the band room my phone vibrated. I put my French horn up and found a seat before I opened the text. When I seen what it said I felt my heart drop. If anyone had come into the room right now they would swear I was a ghost. My tan face had turned a disgusting color that walked between white and gray.

To: Amy

From: Rob

I told dad, thought it would be a good idea to get him in mom back together.

I felt my body heat up as my fingers moved in light speed to text him back.

To: Rob

From: Amy

How could you, you promised you'd wait.

To: Amy

From: Rob

I know and I feel really bad but it was the only way. We moved back in this morning temporarily as dad said, but I know it'll be longer see you at school;)

"Ugh" I screamed out then immediately looked around to make sure no one else heard me.

I kept thinking so much for my clean start soon everyone would know about me. About my present and past I tried to choke back the tears that wanted to come out so bad. I hated this I'm not a crier but I've cried more the past 3 months than I had in all my 15 years. Crying was a sign of weakness and I was anything but. I heard the warning bell ring and straightened up no one was gonna see how vulnerable I am.

Ricky

I walked into class and my first thought was to go mess with Amy, but I thought better she was staring straight ahead motionless and last week she had snapped on me so I took the seat behind her.

"Hey you alright" I whispered in her ear.

"Not today Ricky" she answered without even turning her head.

I leaned back in my chair and shrugged my shoulders.

The next 60 minutes went by very slow, but thankfully the bell rang just as my eyelids were closing. I watched as Amy rushed past everyone and made her way to the hallway. I casually made my way to the door after her she was acting strange and I was gonna find out why.

As I got to the hall I saw her arguing with that same guy who picked her up that one night a couple weeks ago. I felt myself getting angry, but then my lips curled. Maybe if they break up she'll be more open to me.

Amy

"Robie what is wrong with you" I yelled.

"At least I gave you a heads up you should be thanking me" he said arrogantly.

"I knew it was a mistake telling you, I should have known you would use this to your own advantage to advance in this stupid competition we have." I said feeling angry tears burn behind my eyes.

"Oh, please between me and you there is no competition I won that a long time ago" he said smugly. "And besides I told you why I did it so mom and dad will call off this stupid divorce that you caused!" he shouted.

"How can you blame me for dad's affair? You act like he can't do any wrong just because you don't want to think that man you look up to is a coward." I said with venom.

With that Robie got so close to my face that I could feel the heat of his anger radiating on me.

"You know what Amy, that coward blamed himself for you being an easy lay. Maybe if you kept your legs closed then you wouldn't be pr-" he started till someone launched at him pinning him against the lockers.

"That's enough you don't talk to her like that again" Ricky said shoving him against the lockers harder this time.

"I can talk to her however I want" my brother said not backing down.

Then all hell broke loose as I stood there in shock at the fight that was ensuing in front of me. Ricky would hit Robie then Robie would jump back up and hit Ricky. I finally snapped out of it when I heard Adrian and Madison yelling to me to stop this.

"Ricky please it's okay, he's my brother" I reasoned trying to pull him off of my brother.

"Wait, what? Ricky? This is the guy that did this to you!" my brother yelled then punched Ricky and gained back the upper hand.

"Robie please you're gonna get in trouble stop it." I said now with tears coming down my eyes as my secret was about to be exposed.

"I didn't do anything with her that she didn't want" I heard Ricky quip as they got off the ground.

"Oh really smart ass" my brother retaliated as I got dizzy. "So you planned to get her..." he screamed, but then stopped as I fell to the ground.

"Ames"


Ricky

Everyone stood motionless for a few seconds until we realized that Amy fainted. The guy that I now know as her brother called for help as the school nurse came over and later the paramedics.

Everyone had gone back to class, but I had already turned in my history paper last week. So I skipped and sat outside on the bench smoking another damn cigarette. I told myself I would quit, but honestly I didn't want to. It was this, sex, or…

"Ricky are you okay?" I heard a voice inquire.

I looked up and gave a half smile "Yea I'm okay" I said as she sat down.

"I'm not mad at you anymore" Adrian said looking ahead.

"Yea, thanks." I said not really in the mood for games.

"Are you gonna try to go see her?" she asked the look in her eyes hoping for a no.

I thought about it. Honestly I did want to see Amy. I don't know why, but she looked so upset earlier and then I fought her brother and she passed out. I felt bad.

"I don't know" I said looking away.

"You want to just ditch and go to my house?" she said taking my hand.

I smashed my cigarette and held her hand tightly as I got off the bench. I looked at her beautiful big brown eyes and nodded my head. We walked hand and hand to my car. I didn't want to, but I thought about all the times she gave me sex and figured I could at least do this for her in return.

I put the car and reverse and whispered thank you in her ear before shifting it to drive. She blushed and looked out the window. I actually liked soft Adrian.

Amy

I woke up with 8 pairs of eyes on me as I tried to focus my vision.

"Ahh" I yelped and they jumped.

"Amy you're awake" my mom said worriedly.

"How are you baby girl?" my dad gripped my hand.

Robie just stared at me I could see the worry in his eyes but he quickly looked away.

"What happened" I mumbled hoarsely.

"You fainted at school" Robie interjected.

"Yes and in your condition stress isn't good, for you or the baby." Dr. Huxtable said.

"Baby" I sighed in disbelief.

"Um yeah doofus you thought you could wish it away." Robie said annoyed.

"Robie" my mom and dad said in unison.

I just cried. It was now confirmed my worst fear I was 15 and pregnant. If I just waited one more year I could at least be on that stupid reality show I thought.

"Amy it's okay" my mom said rubbing my shoulder "we're going to figure this out together."

My brother smiled at the together part. I just wanted to be alone.

"Can we leave now?" I asked Dr. Huxtable.

"Yep we got all your test done while you were out" he said lightly "just make sure you eat some more you're a little underweight for three and a half months." He cautioned.

"Okay" I huffed barely above a whisper.


Ricky

I stared at Adrian sleeping. She didn't snore or anything if it wasn't for her eyes being closed this long you would think she was blinking. I leaned over and kissed her forehead before I got up. I had been here almost all day, but I really wanted to go check on Amy.

Adrian had convinced me to stay longer than what I wanted too. She kept on insisting trying all these different positions to keep me from leaving so we had sex for almost 2 hours and slept around the same time. Now I was ready to go I don't like staying this long after sex and I was feeling smothered.

"You're leaving already?" I heard her say.

Damn I was hoping she would stay asleep till I was at least in my car. Damn my wondering mind.

"Uh yea, it's getting late and I have to check in" I said smirking.

"Why didn't you wake me my car is still at school were you planning on making me walk to get it?" she narrowed her eyes.

"No, I thought you would catch the bus." I shrugged.

"Wow are you that much of a jerk" she said throwing on her clothes furiously.

"Come on Adrian, you know how I am and you know how this works." I reasoned.

"Whatever Ricky, just take me to my car and go see Amy that's where you were trying to go this whole time anyway." she said giving me a look that killed.

"That's not true, not the whole time and besides jealousy isn't attractive so give it up before I end this." I lied jealous Adrian meant better sex.

"Shut up I don't care if you end this you'll be back you always come back." she snickered.

She did have me there so I smirked. "Just hurry up." I said heading to the door.

Amy

I woke up to arguing, which was nothing new. The last few months had been so serene with just me and mom and now I was back in the jungle. I got up and peed then peaked around the corner to eavesdrop.

"If she was living with me this wouldn't have happened" dad screamed.

"Technically she was always living with me she and Robie Mr. Late Nights at the office." mom retorted.

My dad rolled his eyes. "You are not gonna bring up my past mistakes I ended it and I'm tired of apologizing for it Anne!" he shouted.

"It doesn't change anything! I don't want you here Robie can stay but you need to go." she stated.

"Amy needs the both of us obviously before she does something else stupid!" he hissed.

At that I made my presence known. "I know I made a mistake but the only stupid one here dad is you!" I yelled through tears. "I'm sorry I'm such a failure and disappointment I'll leave." I said running out the door.

I know they felt guilty but I didn't care that they were running after me screaming my name I pumped my legs faster. I didn't know where I was going, but it was far away from there. Far away from them.


Ricky

I went to the hospital but they said Amy had already been discharged. I kept thinking about what her brother said. He was blaming me for the sex and was saying something when Amy collapsed. I guess I'll ask the punk when I seen him at school tomorrow.

I had been driving around for the past 30 minutes and ended up at the beach. I parked and got out all of my "calming supplies." This mainly consisted of my lighter, my cigs, and my sticks. I didn't feel like hearing my parent's mouths questioning me about my day. I didn't feel like going back to Adrian's house having great sex only to be nagged once it was over. Hell I didn't even feel like corrupting poor unsuspecting Grace I just wanted to be alone. Alone with my thoughts however dangerous they were.

I sat on the bench facing the water and lit the cigarette. I rolled up my shirt sleeve and tried to find a spot that hadn't been tainted. I dropped the cigarette on my hot skin and turned it as a tear rolled down. I thought back to my session with Dr. Fields and found another spot.

*Flashback*

"Ricky, how did Adrian professing her love to you make you feel?" he asked concerned.

"It made me feel sick alright" I snapped "It made me feel dirty, she doesn't love me." I hissed.

"Why doesn't she love you Ricky?" he countered.

"Because if she loves me," I hesitated "then she loves a lot of guys." I smirked to mask my pain.

Dr. Fields looked at me and wrote something in my file.

"Does it bother you that she sleeps with other guys?" he asked after a few minutes.

"No." I said coldly.

"Then why do you look upset? Do you perhaps love her too?" he folded his arms and leaned back.

"Hell no!" I said defensively "I'm upset because she's a liar! She says she loves me, but if people love each other they don't cheat or get even." I said now with my arms folded.

"Ah so you have been listening over the years" he smiled.

I rolled my eyes and he smiled wider.

"So why do you cheat on Adrian?"

I looked at him like he should already know the answer. "Because I don't love her" I shrugged.

"Is it that you don't love her or you're afraid to love her?" he asked staring into my eyes.

I was quiet then I gave in and answered. "I can't love her."

"Why not?" Dr. Fields raised an eyebrow.

"Because, I'm not the right person for her and she's not the right person for me." I said quickly.

"And who's the right person for you Ricky?"

*End of flashback*

I had just lifted the cigarette off my skin and was admiring my art when the wind blew and sand hit my arm.

"Damn it" I jumped up and shook my arm dropping my cigarette. The sand was being the involuntary salt in my wounds. I blew on my arm like that would make the heat go away.

I looked up towards the ocean like I was going to fight the wind till something else caught my eye. I didn't know exactly what it was but it looked interesting. It was like a drop in the ocean just floating there in peace. I walked towards it to get a better view my shoes hitting the water.

Then my heart stopped as I seen the object flip over.

"Amy?"
