"I know what's going on here," my mom said to Caleb and me as we sat on the couch.

We were both still. Neither of us could even move out of fear. My mom had taken both of us to the clinic this morning to get tested. Now she was about to berate us for another hour. I was quickly regretting ever having sex with Caleb.

"I was young once," she continued. "You think you're invincible but you're not. You're just kids and I don't want you making any decisions that can keep you from having a normal childhood. That being said, I know the two of you are in a loving relationship and you might be having sex, but I do not need to hear it, witness it, or know about it ever again. In fact, I would prefer if it didn't happen again until you are both able to survive on your own without living in this house. Understood?"

"Yeah," we both mumbled at the same time.

"Good," she smiled. "Now what's for dinner?"

"Can I take the two of you out tonight?" Caleb offered. "I'd like to thank you for helping me out and everything."

"That's sweet, Caleb," she told him, "but I think staying in would be best tonight, considering the weather."

"Oh right," he said quietly.

"Well," my mom said grabbing her purse. "I'm going to pick up something quickly and I'll be back in about a half hour. No funny business."

"Okay," I told her watching her as she made her way toward the door.

"That wasn't nearly as bad as I expected," Caleb said turning to me. "You're mom's okay."

"She is," I smiled.

"So," he winked. "Do you think we have time for a quickie?"

"Are you kidding?" I practically yelled at him. "Were you even listening just now?"

"It was a joke," he laughed. "I didn't actually mean..."

"Good," I smiled. "Don't scare me like that."

I fluttered my eyes open and realized that I was moving. Yes, physically moving. I could feel Caleb's strong arms carrying me as we rounded the stairs.

"What the...?" I breathed bobbing my head up.

"You fell asleep during the movie," he told me.

"Put me down!" I whisper yelled.

"Oh right," he laughed placing me back on the ground when we reached the landing.

"Thanks," I said smoothing out my top. "What time is it?"

"It's almost two," he said motioning toward the pitch black outside the windows.

"I'm tired," I sighed. "I think I'm gonna go to bed."

"Good night," he said leaning in close to kiss me.

I felt his lips touch mine and slipped my arms around his neck. He grabbed my hips pushing our bodies closer together as I led him back to my bedroom. We collapsed onto the tiny twin bed as he climbed on top of me.

"Wait," I said pushing him away for a second.

"What?" he asked. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I smiled. "I'm fine. I just don't think we should do this."

"Is it because of your mom?" he asked. "She's not home. Your aunt called with an emergency and she left to go see her about three hours ago."

"What happened?" I asked. Now I was definitely not in the mood.

"Something about a fight with her husband," Caleb explained. "She didn't really tell me much."

"So," I giggled, "do you want to get back to what we were doing?"

A small smirk crept across his face before he bent down to my level and placed soft kisses all over my neck. I moaned at his every touch and let my hands wander under his shirt until I managed to fully pull it off. I threw it across the room and we continued shedding our clothes until we were finally together in every which way. I let out one last moan before Caleb collapsed on top of me. The two of us were breathing heavily as Caleb rolled over and lied down next to me.

"Oh no," he breathed giving me a panicked look as he held up the broken condom.

"Shit!" I said as the color drained from my face. "My mom is going to kill me."

"What do we do?" he asked sitting up.

"I don't know," I sighed resting my head on his shoulder. He put an arm around me and kissed my forehead. I was scared. Really scared but I couldn't let myself cry in front of Caleb.

"What are you doing later?" Spencer asked me as we walked out of English class.

"I'm busy," I told her. "Caleb and I are..."

"Oh," she winked.

"No," I retorted. "We just have stuff to do. Why? What do you care?"

"Sorry," she said. I could already feel my mood swings kicking in. I only hoped they were due to my impending period and not something else. Something worse.

"I didn't mean that," I said quickly. "I'm just stressed. This tornado kind of freaked me out and..."

"You don't have to explain," she said. "Your house got it the worst. I understand. It's just, we're all going to the Apple Rose Grill tonight. I was wondering if you wanted to come."

"Maybe," I told her. "I need to work stuff out first with Caleb and my mom."

"Sure," she smiled. "I'll see you later."

"Bye," I said before heading to my car where I met up with Caleb. He hopped into the front seat and we headed back to my place.

"Are you ready," he asked handing me a brown paper bag when we got inside.

"Not really," I replied but I took the bag and walked into the bathroom regardless. A few minutes later, I walked out toting a plastic white stick.

"What does it say?" he asked.

"I don't know," I told him. "It still needs another minute."

"It's going to be okay," he said.

"You can't know that," I practically yelled at him. "What if it's positive?"

"Even if it," he told me, "it will work out okay."

"No really," I explained. "If it's positive, what are we going to do?"

"Can we just worry about that later?" he asked.

"There is no later," I said. "We have to make a decision now. What's it gonna be?"

I watched as Caleb took a deep breath. The few seconds before he opened his mouth to speak again, felt like forever.

AN: Please don't hate me for leaving you with a cliffhanger. I promise the next chapter will be amazing!
