Chapter 10.

I think we're all having a bad day…

Today was Friday and it was the best day of the week for every teenager. It was a proven fact but Amy didn't see what was so special about it anymore. She would just go home and watch John, maybe do some laundry and clean up a bit. Amy much preferred going to school, it was something for her to actually do.

Amy woke up to the sound of her alarm clock ringing close by her head. She groaned in protest at the sound and slammed her hand down on the Off button. She took a deep breath and lifted the blankets off of her heated body, and lifted herself out of bed. She stretched and walked groggily to her sons nursery. She walked through the door to find John starting to flutter his eyes. She smiled at the truly beautiful sight of her son, laying there like an angel. She brushed her fallen hair out of her face and left the room to leave her son sleep for a little while longer. She figured she could buy herself some time and go get dressed before her son started fussing.

She walked out the door and bumped into her mom. "Jeeze!" Amy grabbed her heart, "you scared me."

Anne smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I wasn't too sure if you got up yet or not so I was going to grab John for some breakfast."

"Well he's still asleep so it's okay. I'll get dressed, then bring him down." Amy told her mother, feeling more awoken since her mom scared her half to death.

"That's weird, children that age don't sleep in till 7:30. They are usually awake long before this." Anne wondered.

"Yeah but it was a late night. He was whining a lot so I just let him stay up with me while I did homework." Amy responded to her mother. Anne looked at her daughter with wide eyes.

"Amy, you can't keep your son up to late hours of the night, he's a growing boy." Anne told Amy with a sour tone.

"Mom, let me raise my son." Amy retorted and put her hands on her hips.

"I am Amy, I'm just stating a fact." Anne pointed at her daughter, " and don't get sassy with me!" Anne spoke with authority.

"I'm not a kid, mom!" Amy spoke with an annoyed tone, she was a mom now. She shouldn't have to listen to hers.

"I know that Amy but you aren't a grown women either!" Anne raised her voice.

"I'm done with this mom!" Amy rushed past her mom to her bedroom. She closed the door quickly and jogged to her dresser, and pulled out a light blue sundress. It hugged her chest and had an elastic below the hips. It showed her curves and she loved it. The colour reminded her of a afternoon blue sky. She shut her drawers with access force and walked to her closet to grab a silver, long cardigan. She put it on and slipped on a pair of silver flats and a blue ring. She might have looked good, but she didn't feel good.

She already knew it was going to be a bad day.

Grace woke up the next morning to Tom lightly tapping her shoulder. She fluttered her eyes and looked up to find Tom smiling at her, waving.

"Tom! What are you doing?" Grace covered her bare arms with her blankets.

"You… had sex… with Ben." Tom spoke. Grace felt her cheeks burn but she kept her cool.

"No, I didn't Tom." Grace responded to Tom's accusation that happened to be true.

"Yes, you did." Tom argued and shook his head at Grace.

"Tom, can you go down stairs please?" Grace asked nicely, hiding her anger.

"What happened…to you, saying you were having sex… when you were married?" Tom sounded his words out like he usually did. He did make a valid point, which was why

Grace was embarrassed and disappointed in herself.

"Please Tom." Grace pleaded closing her eyes and taking a short breath. Tom just put his hands in the air and left the room but before he left, he turned around.

"I hope you know, that I still love you even though you had sex. Even, Jesus." Tom smiled to his sister and walked out of her room, leaving Grace with her confused thoughts.

She was upset with herself that she even said yes.

She was upset that she listened to her step-dad.

She was upset she had sex with Ben.

Ashley Jurgens was getting dressed in a pair of jeans and a black tank top when her sister knocked on her door.

"Come in!"

Amy swiftly open and closed the door and walked into her sisters garage bedroom."Mom wants to know when you'll be ready." Amy said sourly.

"What's your deal?" Ashley said happily. Today she felt empowered and more like a women. She had lost her virginity to Grant that night, and she felt like she bonded with him. It wasn't like she thought it was going to be, it was awkward but she over-came that.

Grant made her feel special.

She loved that. She never felt special.

"I'm having a bad day already Ash. " Amy moved her hair out of her eyes then noticed Ashley's happy mood.

"What's your deal?" Amy smirked and crossed her arms. Ashley felt the blood rush to her cheeks and she knew they were a dark red.

"Nothing is my deal, Amy." Ashley tried to sound like herself and was actually doing a good job, but Amy wasn't convinced.

"Alriiiiight." Amy rolled her eyes and turned to leave her sisters bedroom.

Ashley let go of a breath she wasn't even aware she was holding, and then went to flop on her bed. She stared at the ceiling and sighed heavily.

Suddenly her cell phone rang.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Ashley reached over to her bed side table and opened her phone.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hey love." Grant's warm voice spoke on the other line.

"How are you?" Ashley whispered.

"Better then ever. I'm sorry I left so fast last night, I truly felt bad but it was a school night and someone in your family could have came inside. Plus, my family would have suspected something." Grant said apologetically.

"Don't worry about it. I don't like clingy." Ashley tried to joke, but failed.

"Soooo…" Grant trailed off trying to spark conversation.

"I'll see you at school, love you." Ashley said swiftly and hung up the phone.

She was ready to leave now, knowing that she would see the one person who gets her and loves her for who she is.

Amy arrived in her SUV in the school parking lot after she dropped off John at the nursery. She opened her door and jumped out, and locked the doors. She put her keys in her bag and walked away towards Grant High.

She made her way into the school crowded with adolescence and immediately seen Ricky standing at her locker. She instantly smiled and walked her way over to the guy who was standing with his hands in his pocket, leaning against her locker. He was smirking and it made Amy bite her lip. Her steps quickened till she finally met him.

"How was your morning?" was the first thing he asked. Amy just rolled her eyes.

"Terrible." Amy opened her locker and Ricky leaned against the locker beside hers.

"What was so wrong?" Ricky pondered.

"Me and my mom got in a fight, I guess I know I'm already going to have a bad day." Amy spoke with an aggressive tone, she couldn't help but be upset.

"Can we just not talk about it?" she asked annoyed. Ricky just nodded and looked away, waiting for her to spill what was bothering her so much. She threw her books in her locker, biting her lip so hard it almost bled. She slammed her locker shut attracting attention from other students.

"She practically questioned my parenting skills!" Amy raged. She had her hands in the air and raising her voice at Ricky.

"Calm down Amy, people are starring." he tried to calm down Amy, which aggravated her even more.

"Don't tell me to calm down!" Amy spat back at him. He closed his eyes waiting for her to shut up.

"I'm a good mom! I raise a son and get good grades! I don't get detentions and I surely don't get suspended," Amy stopped herself, " maybe one time! But that was awhile ago and I always stay home with my son! How dare she get mad at me because he was up a little later because I had to do home for my educating and he didn't want to sleep!" Amy finally stopped her ranting and took a deep breath, but then she started again.

"Also! If she was in my situation, she would hate to be judged too! I mean-" Amy was cut off.

Ricky had enough and so did the people around her, so Ricky knew that the only way to stop it… was to kiss her.

His lips covered hers and she closed her eyes till she realized they were surrounded my people. Amy pushed Ricky off of her and caught her breath.

Everyone was starring, wide eyed and confused. Amy touched her lips and walked away.

Grace walked through Grant High's hallways, avoiding Ben as best as she could. She was on the look out and if she saw Alice or Henry, she would turn the other way.

She was holding her books and rushing to her locker when she bumped in Ben.

"Hi Grace." Ben said lovingly.

Grace was looked at his face, at a loss for words. She closed her eyes briefly and brushed past Ben quickly, leaving him confused.

He ran after her and touched her shoulder.

"Grace! What's going on?" Ben asked confused.

"I don't want to see you." Grace simply stated, it hurt her to say that.

"But Grace, we had… you know and now you don't want to speak to me?" Ben was upset. Not because that she was doing this but they shared a moment and he really liked Grace.

"Ben, I don't know why I had sex with you but I regret it." Grace whispered.

With that, she walked away leaving Ben standing there holding back tears that he was too afraid to shed.

Ashley was putting books in her locker when someone put their warm hands over her eyes. She smiled instantly and turned around to reveal the warm smile of Grant. Ashley smiled with affection and stood on her tippy toes reaching for Grant's lips. He bent down a little bit and kissed her gently. He wrapped his arms around Ashley's waist and held her like she was the most precious thing to him.

Which she was.

They were lost in each other until Griffin interrupted them.

"I'm sorry to interrupt this love fest, but it is getting a little too heated for my liking and a little too inappropriate for school grounds. I'm a sucker for love but this is my best friend we are talking about." Griffin tore them apart.

Ashley smiled seductively and then Griffin clued in.

"You didn't…" he said horrified.

"What are you going to do? Tell my dad?" Ashley asked rudely.

"Maybe I have to…" Griffin murmured. He was just concerned for his friend, he didn't want to see her heart broken.

"It's not his business and it surely isn't yours. It's mine and Grant's." Ashley was upset now.

"I 'm sorry Ashley, I just care about you and I don't want to see you hurt when he leaves." Griffin instantly regretted the words that escaped his mouth.

"What?" Ashley asked, horrified.

Her heart sunk.

The day had passed by slowly for Amy. Between all the stares and the whispers, the clock seemed too slow.

Amy tapped her pen nervously when someone tapped her lightly on the shoulder. It was Andre, a person she never talked to before and he was holding a note. She took in in confusion and opened it.

I'm sorry. The note read. Amy turned around and looked at Ricky starring at her. She turned back and wrote on the note.

Me too.

She handed back the note to Max and he passed it to Ricky. Amy looked behind her shoulder and Ricky smiled to her. She bit her lip and turned back her attention to the women at the front of the class, speaking nonsense.

All Amy could think about was John and Ricky.

The two most important people in her life right now.

…

Amy drove to the nursery and rushed quickly inside to see her son and start working. She walked in and the church secretary smiled to her.

"Hi Linda." Amy said hi but continued walking.

She walked into the play area where her son was. He was being held by one of the other girls named Alexis. She noticed Amy and quickly showed John, his eyes lit up instantly. Amy hurried past all the other children till she snatched her son right out of Alexis's arms.

"Hi baby! How was your day!" Amy spoke in a soothing voice to John, he smiled and revealing his small teeth. Amy touched his nose and hugged him.

…

Amy was driving home when she noticed Ricky's car following behind her in the dim light. She raised an eye brow and turned into her driveway. Ricky parked his car beside hers and they both got out. Ricky opened John's door and grabbed him.

"Listen Amy, I'm sorry about today." Ricky apologized while holding his son.

"No, I was harsh to you but I have to admit… I did over-react but you kissed me in front of the school! They all know now." Amy looked down at the ground.

"Are you embarrassed Amy?" Ricky wondered, his tone soft.

"No, I just don't like rumours and you know that people will talk." Amy responded and put her hands in her pockets of her cardigan. The night was cool, and the wind sent shivers down Amy's back.

"Let them talk! I don't care Amy." Ricky moved closer to her and Amy felt her stomach gain butterflies.

"I think it's time we told your parents." Ricky murmured. Amy's head shot up.

"We can't tell my parents, Ricky." Amy whispered.

"We have to Amy, we can't hide us any longer." Ricky whispered, he put his hand on her cheek. The warmth was comforting.

Amy just nodded and he grabbed her hand. Their fingers intertwined and he lead her inside the Juerguns home.

Leave some love. They are better then bad days! OX.
