(Original a/n) A/N: ok i'm updating again because i am HECKA bored. there's nothing to do so i just keep on typing so...yeah. pshhhh. k hope you like this chappie. o btw the next chapter will be surprising! just letting you know that.
A/N: Okay now don't freak out. I don't write M's anymore. I mean…I wrote one. Pft big deal. Also, I know that women don't get the symptoms that they're pregnant until a few weeks later, but apparently I didn't know that when I was writing this story last year. (I'm pretty young FYI. Not too young, but still young.) So sorry about that. I can't really change it though since it will ruin the whole story. Anyways, you are now entering the center of drama that goes throughout this whole entire story and doesn't end until the end. Enjoy!
Mitchie just got out of Steve's shower and put her clothes on as worried thoughts raced through her mind. She was really scared—no, more than scared. Fear was basically consuming her body, eating her alive. Okay, so I woke up naked in his room. Nothing to be scared of…I hope. Mitchie walked downstairs towards Steve.
"It wasn't you who I—" she started.
Steve shook his head. "Sorry, sweetie, but no. I guess you better get home now before your parents start filling a missing person report." Steve suggested.
Mitchie sighed in both relief and sadness. It was such a shame that Steve didn't know who she pulled a one stand with personally. He knew what the face looked like, but he never talked to Shane before and didn't recognize him. He couldn't help her to Mitchie's dismay.
At least it's not him…then who is it? The girl thought miserably.

Heart turned her phone off and charged it. It's nothing. Absolutely nothing. No one has to know this…no one. She thought. I am not gonna go and ruin two people's lives just because they were drunk. Heart sighed and looked at the clock. It was a little past four. She thought that she should get ready for her hang out with Greg. Thinking of Greg just made her totally forget about the tape she saw, and that is exactly what she wants.
Heart opened her closet and searched through her collection of skinny, faded, and ripped jeans. Heart actually wanted to impress Greg though. She never really liked a guy, really liked him. She had those simple crushes, but she felt something else with Greg. Maybe it was the fact that Nate disapproved. (She loved getting under his skin anyways.) Or maybe it was love at first sight was actually real? Or maybe she was hallucinating. Who knows?
Heart walked to the bathroom and stepped into the shower for thirty minutes. It wouldn't have been longer, but Jason banged on the door, screaming at her to hurry up. She blow dried her hair then put it in a pony tail to keep it away from her face for the meantime.
Heart pulled out a black wavy skirt that was three inches above her knees. She grabbed a matching belt then started looking for a shirt. She found a white shirt that looked like it had black and red paint splattered all over it. Heart pulled her hair out of her pony tail and let her long, curly hair down. Her side bangs flew onto her eyes. She blew them out of the way and smiled in satisfaction. Heart grabbed her black high top Converse shoes then grabbed her cell phone. She turned it on and went downstairs.
Jason, Shane, and Nate stared at Heart, barely recognizing the girl they called their brat of a cousin. They almost gawked at her.
"Okay, I'm going out now." Heart said, smiling.
The boys were just quietly staring, finally seeing her as a girl.
Nate scratched his head. "Where are you going?" he asked, trying to keep his cool.
"Out," Heart simply said. She took a glance at her cell phone as she walked through the living room towards the door.
"Why so dressed up?"
"Um, because I just am." Heart opened the door and blew a kiss towards her cousins. "See ya later, guys," she said excitedly and waved. Jason, Shane, and Nate were all wondering, 'who was the girl whom just blew an air kiss at them'. It certainly couldn't be their cousin.
"Okay, am I the only one who thinks that she's trying to impress a guy?" Shane asked.
Jason and Nate looked at their brother weirdly.
"Wow you are really stupid. I'm surprised that you're not failing out of college." Nate said.
"Well he barely passes." Jason scoffed.
"Hey! Stop ripping on me!" Shane said waving his hands in the air.
"Wait…she's going on a date!" Nate exclaimed frantically.
"No, she's not." Jason said. "She said she's hanging out with friends."
"Okay, seriously, how long has it been since you've been out with a girl? When a girl like Heart wears stuff like that, they're going on a date. She would never wear something as girly as that unless she's trying to impress a guy." Nate clarified irritably.
Jason, Shane and Nate looked at each other and stood up and grabbed the car keys.

Heart was three fourths towards downtown. As usual, she was using skateboard transportation. Heart stopped at the park where she and Greg agreed to meet. She sat at one of the benches and felt something tapping her shoulder. She looked up to see Greg, nice and clean. The two exchanged warm smiles.
"Wow you look…" Greg said, looking at her up and down, "really good." Heart tried not to blush. She stood up and grabbed her skateboard.
"Back at ya." she said.
"Good thing I brought my skateboard. It took a while to get the playboy pictures Nate put on."
Heart rolled her eyes. "He's such a pig."
Greg laughed. "One of the reasons why I hate him."
Heart got on her skateboard while Greg got on his. "Hey why don't you have a helmet on?"
"Well I couldn't find one."
Greg took his off and put it on Heart. "Here. I don't think I could live with myself if you need to get head surgery because you didn't wear one."
"What about you?"
"Eh, I'm a pro. I can handle it."
Heart laughed. "Whatever you say."

Nate was driving towards downtown. "Oh my God, she's on a date! A freaking date and I didn't even get to meet the guy! Ugh, I remember the last time a guy liked her."
Four years ago Nate, Jason, and Shane were visiting Heart and her parents. Jason and Shane were downstairs while Nate and Heart were playing. Nate was just twelve and Heart was ten. She had one of her friends over, a guy friend.
"So this is my friend, Andrew. Andrew this is my best cousin ever, Nate." Heart introduced them.
Nate gave Andrew a shy smile while Andrew rolled his eyes.
"Come on Heart, let's play something." Andrew said, giving all of his attention to Heart.
Nate gave him a look. "Like what?" Nate asked.
"I'm not really taking to you."
Nate really wanted to punch Andrew now, but he didn't want to upset Heart.
"Andrew, be nice!" Heart said, playfully hitting her friend on the shoulder. "I'll be right back." Heart said, having the sudden urge to go pee.
Andrew and Nate were left upstairs alone in her room.
"So I'm guessing you have a crush on my cousin." Nate said, smirking.
"And so what? She's practically my girlfriend." Andrew said proudly.
Nate laughed. "Yeah, sure." He said sarcastically.
"I bet I'll be her first when we're older."
Nate gave Andrew a crazy look. "How the heck do you know what that is?"
"My big brother."
Nate grabbed Andrew by the shirt and dragged him out of the house. "Don't you dare touch her!" Nate yelled and slammed the door on him.
That little experience changed Nate. Even if he doesn't like Heart, ignores her, and doesn't treat her the way a cousin should, he still feels overprotective when it comes to guys. He knows how he acts towards girls, and he would hate if another guy treated his little cousin like that.
They found Heart skateboarding and laughing with the last person Nate wanted to see. "Oh my f—" Nate started.
"Hey it's Heart!" Shane said, cutting him short and pointing at her.
Heart and Greg were laughing their heads off and clearly having a good time. Their broad grins practically illuminated the street around them, the happiness in their eyes completely visible. It would have been a shame if anybody interrupted their perfect time.
Nate honked on the horn and Heart and Greg stopped.
Heart widened her eyes. "Hey, I, uh, gotta go," Heart said to Greg.
Greg frowned. "Why?"
"I'm sorry, I just have to." Heart gave his helmet back and smiled at him. "I'll call you so we can hang out again." Greg smiled and took his helmet.
"Sure." Greg put his helmet back and boarded home. Once he turned around the corner, Heart looked at her cousins and glared at them. She opened the car door furiously and stepped inside.
"What in the world do you want? It better be important or I will be so pissed that—"
"Why the hell were you with Greg Burton?" Nate yelled.
Heart raised her eyebrows. "Why? He's just my friend."
"Friend? I don't think so. You're wearing a freaking skirt for God's sake! Hell you actually look hot! Don't lie and say that he's your friend."
Heart folded her arms. "You have got to be kidding me. What, you don't trust me? Just because I wear a skirt doesn't mean I'm going on a date! You guys are such…guys!" Heart screamed into her hands in frustration.
"It was Nate's idea!" Shane said, pointing at Nate. Jason quickly did the same thing. They remembered clearly what happens when they get Heart extremely mad.
Thirteen year old Jason, eleven year old Shane, and nine year old Nate were lying in green goop and couldn't get out. Sever- year-old Heart was in a safe distance, smirking at them.
"See! That's what you get for stealing my favorite toy and selling it!" Heart said, laughing.
"Where the heck did you even get this crap?" Jason asked.
Heart shrugged and smiled an innocent smile.
"Guys, are you serious? You're her guardians! Don't be scared of her! Punish her or something! Make her never see guys again or stuff like that!" Nate demanded, hiding his fear of what Heart might do to him.
Heart rolled her eyes. "Take me home please." she said quietly. It got all silent after that. Nate slowly drove them home. When he parked the car, Heart angrily walked upstairs, stomping all the way. She slammed her door and laid on her bed.
After getting yelled at and threatened to be sent to military school, Mitchie started feeling sick. Her head was dizzy and her stomach was uneasy. Mitchie ran to the bathroom and started barfing. She started getting worried. What did happen last night? She thought. All I remember was that I was talking to Shane and drinking punch. Then...it's all black.
