Author's Note: This is a bit of a dark chapter, I hope you guys don't mind. I also want to apologize for the length of the chapter, I wanted it to be a little big longer but I didn't want to stuff too many things into one chapter.
Chapter 10: Stranger
Four weeks have gone by and things have gone as smooth as they could considering the situation Bianca's in. Her aunt takes her to the doctors and they inform that she's in fact pregnant. She feels like crying all over again, but she refuses to. They give her tons of pamphlets to make sure she eats right, and decide what procedure she wants for her pregnancy, and Bianca tries her best to hide her weight gain. In these few weeks, they have shown the police the letter and they say that they will keep a sharp eye on Vince. Bianca and Fitz regularly talk again, but things are still awkward. But today is Bianca's birthday and she just wants to forget about all of that. She wants to celebrate her birthday like any other girl would.
Once she's gotten ready for school, her aunt leads her inside the garage, and puts a rag on her eyes as a blind fold. She giggles, "What are you doing?"
"You'll see. Ver su paso. Now, I want you to picture your dream car." She tells her, and Biancas lips curve upward at the thought of her own car, "It would be a sassy red, with hot wheels and awesome music already installed in it. It wouldn't be too low to the ground, or too high from the ground, it would be just perfect." She tells her aunt.
"Wow, I think I picked out just the thing for you then." She tells her, and Bianca only feels herself getting more excited. When she says that she can open her eyes, Bianca anxiously takes the blind off and she opens her eyes to see the car. Her grin turns into a frown. This is not what she's expecting. After all the hype about the car, Bianca doesn't expect to see a dingy brown car, that looks like it should be used for midgets only. It has bad tires, and a broken mirror.
"What the hell is this?" Bianca asks, a disgusted look on her face.
"It's your dream car." Her aunt laughs, and Bianca lets out a groan, "Really?"
"Hey, be lucky you got anything. When it was my birthday all I got was a sketch of a picture, and my parents told me to use my imagination. Now, I'm going to have a friend of mine turn this thing into something gorgeous. He goes for real cheap, only asking for a few cans of beer for each part." She looks at Bianca, "Oh don't be upset. This was the only thing I could afford. Oh and you have to take the bus today, I have an early meeting, I'm sorry. I'll drive you over to the bus stop though." She tells Bianca, and she's wondering if this day can get any worse.
Once she's dropped off at the bus stop she waves goodbye to her aunt who takes off rather quickly. She listens to music on her iPod as she pulls out a cheap version of a fruit salad that she was supposed to eat this morning. Once she's done with her food, she looks around, and no ones there yet. She taps her fingers lightly to the music when she feels a pair of hands grab her, and before she can panic, or fight it off, a sock is placed in her mouth and she's passed out in an instant.
