Chapter 12

Taylor' pov

"summer, what the hell? You promised that it was just us girls, you lied to me"

Summer reached out for me, "Taylor, I'm sorry, its just… well me and Seth can see that you and Ryan are perfect for each other, and well… I don't know.. I'm sorry.. Do you want me to take you home?"

I shook my head, knowing deep down that she was right, but I just couldn't shake the feelings or the images of Marissa and Ryan together, "we'll stay"

"yay!" summer squealed, "Cohen, go and get us some drinks"

"yes, oh masterful one" Seth replied, earning himself a slap to the back of the head as he walked away.

"are you sure you'll be ok cos we can leave if you want" summer asked again,

"it's fine summer, I'm over- reacting that's all, enjoy your time with Seth" and just as I finished speaking, Seth reappeared holding three red plastic cups, he passed one each to me and summer, summer downed hers in about three seconds, and I laughed, then I took a sip of mine, the fizz hit my mouth, and I could taste the metallic taste of beer, oh my god, I thought, as I sprayed Seth with the contents of my mouth,

"what the hell Taylor?" he asked, as he wiped himself down,

Summer who had witnessed everything said "you got her beer, you know she can't have beer in her condition"

Seth raised his eyebrows, whilst I felt a panic feeling flowing through me, it had only been last night that I found out for definite,

Flashback

"WHAT?" summer yelled, as she lunged off the bed,

"I'm pregnant" I replied In a whisper, summer looked me up and down,

"well are you sure? Have you done a test?"

I shook my head, I don't know how I know that I was definitely pregnant, I just did, "no"

"right, well there is only one way to be sure, come on" summer said as she grabbed my hand and pulled me from the bedroom,

"summer, what are you doing?"

" my dad is a doctor Taylor, and I know from experience that he keeps different medicinal supplies here, including pregnancy tests"

"so you and Seth?"

"yes, me and Seth had a scare about a year ago, but the test was negative, I repeat negative" she chuckled, "oo, in here!" she said, composing herself,

We snuck into her fathers office, knowing he was asleep upstairs did not help how panicked I felt right now, and god only knows what I would do if he found us in his office stealing pregnancy tests, "got some" summer stated, pulling me from my thoughts, I nodded and followed her back up to her bedroom.

Summer unwrapped a test and handed it to me, "go,!" she said, slapping me on the bum as I passed her,

I sat on the toilet, willing myself to go, but nothing, and it didn't help that summer kept knocking on the door every five seconds to check if I had done it yet, eventually I managed to go, and I quickly washed my hands and made my way out of the bathroom, I found summer sat on the bed looking at the box,

"so, how long do we leave it?" I asked, as I sat down next to her,

"about a minute" she stated, "and then it will either be one line for negative, or two lines for positive"

I sucked in a deep breath and waited for what seemed like forever, "Taylor, its time"

I nodded and handed the test to summer, "you look", she took the test from my hot and sweaty hands,

"well?" I asked,

Summer looked at me surprised, "it's positive", immediately my eyes started to sting with tears, "wait, it could be wrong, here do another" she said, trying to re-assure me, I took her advice and grabbed the next test from her hand, and left for the bathroom,

"oh my god, it's positive too, do another, they've got to be wrong" she yelled, as she read the results,

I done another six pregnancy tests, all of which confirmed the fact that I was indeed pregnant,

"here hold these" summer said, as she passed me all the positive tests, "let me do one" and off she went, a couple of minutes passed, and she immerged from the bathroom, we both sat on the bed, waiting for summer's test result in silence until the minute had passed, "oh my god, noooo, what does that look like to you, does that look like two lines?" she asked, shoving the test in my face, "summer, that's one of mine, this one is yours" I said, as I handed her the only negative test out of them all, "sorry"

I shook my head, "summer, what am I going to do?" summer put her arm around my shoulder, "do you think you should tell Ryan?"

"no, absolutely not" I stated, and summer left it at that,

That night I went to bed imagining myself as a mother, and I made my decision I would keep the baby, I would bring it up on my own, and I would love it more than anything, yes I knew it would be hard, but I am Taylor Townsend.

End flashback

"what condition? Is she allergic to beer or something, cos no-one told me" Seth stated,

"nothing Seth, its fine, summer I am going to go and get something else to drink, why don't you have some fun with Seth"

Summer nodded, "are you sure, coos you can stay with us"

"go, and have some fun with your boyfriend summer, before I change my mind," I chuckled, trying to lift the mood a bit,

"me Tarzan, you Jane" Seth said in a characterized voice as he slung summer over his shoulder, I could still hear her screaming as he walked down onto the beach with her, and in all honesty, I was jealous.

I headed to the conservatory that overlooked the beach, and even though it was dark out I could still see the waves lapping at the sand,

"urgh! Skank alert" I heard from behind me, I turned and saw my worst enemy, Marissa.

"I mean, what are you even doing here? Its not like you belong here or anything" she said,

I stood motionless, feeling the panic and nausea settling in,

"hello? Anybody home?" Marissa sang, waving her hand in my face, "dumb bitch, it's no wonder Ryan wanted to come back to me"

That was it, "you're a liar, and I don't believe that Ryan came back to you, if anything I think that you couldn't stand to see him happy"

"ooo" her crowd of cheerleaders sang, "now if you'll excuse me" I said, as I started to walk away, instead she grabbed my arm and pulled me back,

"maybe I did come on to him but he sure as hell didn't say no" she whispered in my ear, and I felt fresh tears flooding my eyes.

"hey, leave her alone" a familiar voice spoke, me and Marissa turned towards the voice, I was surprised at who it was, and I could feel that Marissa was too, but I was unsure if it was because of the look of him or if it was because she knew him too.

"I said, leave her alone" he said again,

"and who the hell are you?" Marissa spat, confirming one of my thoughts, Marissa didn't know him,

The guy put his hand out, "the name is Volcheck"

"okay, so tell me this, why should I leave this skank alone?" Marissa replied, without taking Volcheck hand,

Volcheck lent in towards her, "because if you don't, I may just break your arm, but then again if I do my probation will be over and I'll be back inside"

Marissa sucked in a breath, obviously she had never met someone so dangerous before, she let go of my arm, "this isn't over skank" and with that she sauntered off back to the party.

I turned back to Volcheck, "thank you", he shrugged his shoulders, "so what are you doing here anyway? Do you know Luke?"

"who?" he replied, and straight away that he had gate crashed the party,

"never mind" I said, and I turned to leave in search of summer and Seth, Volcheck had made me feel uneasy at sandy's office, so being at a party with him made me feel even worse, even if he had just saved me from Marissa and her groupies.

As I reached the door, Volcheck put his arm across the door frame, "how about a drink?"

I thought for a moment, and even though my insides were screaming for me to turn and run, I felt gratitude pulling at me too, "sure" I said, and put on my best fake smile,

Volcheck guided me out of the conservatory and into the kitchen, where he grabbed a six pack of beers, he offered me one but I shook my head, pouring myself a coke instead,

"oo, quite the party animal huh?" he said, grinning smugly at me,

"I'm driving" I lied, and before he could question me, a crowd of people stormed the kitchen,

"you want some air?" he shouted over the voices, and I nodded as I felt a wave of nausea overwhelming me,

I walked outside, and I could feel Volcheck close behind me, I stepped down onto the beach, hoping that if we walked the beach that I would somehow find Seth and summer.

We stepped onto the sand and I slipped my heels off, making it easier for me to walk, we walked in silence for a while before I decided to speak, "so was everything you just said to Marissa true? You know about being on probation"

I saw him grin, "well, I did meet you at sandy Cohen's office"

I didn't know what to say, so I just stayed quiet, but I was too intrigued to stay quiet for too long, so I rushed it out, "why? I mean why are you on probation?"

Volcheck seemed to look around before answering, making me realise just how far we had walked from the house, the beach seemed eerie and deserted, a chill rose up my back and I shuddered involuntarily,

"you really want to know?" he asked, and suddenly I no longer wanted to know, why had I left the party with him? Why had I agreed to take some air? I looked around in the hope of seeing someone, anyone, but the beach was still empty, I turned and started heading back to the party, Volcheck at my side.

"it was sexual assault" he whispered in my ear, and I froze, suddenly his hands were around my throat and he was forcing me to the floor, "HELP!" I shouted, but then a blinding pain hit my mouth, Volcheck had punched me, my knees buckled and I fell to the floor, he straddled me and leaned close to my face, "if you stay quiet, no one will get hurt" he jeered and he slid his finger down my face, he bent down and kissed me, forcing his tongue into my mouth, making me gag, suddenly I got my bearings, and I bought my leg up hard into his crotch, he rolled off me, leaving me room and a bit of time to escape, I jumped up from the floor and started to run, but the sand was slowing me down,

"I told you before Taylor, it's the chase I enjoy" Volcheck called after me, and I couldn't believe how close he sounded, I pushed myself to go faster but my energy was low, after being sick so much today,

Suddenly I felt hands around my throat, I tried to suck in a breath but nothing was happening, I could feel my body grunting as it tried to grasp at air, then black spots started to crowd my vision, this was it, this was the end, this was how I was going to die,

I felt as though I was being pulled down, but then I realised that he was pulling me down and his grip softened slightly giving me and intake of breath and the chance to scream, even though it was more like a whisper, and I started to surrender, feeling too weak to do anything else,

Then I heard a familiar voice shout out, "HEY, GET OFF HER, SETH, RYAN HELP!" summer shouted, as she ran down the steps of Luke's to where we were, I had obviously ran further than I thought,

"I SAID GET OFF HER" summer yelled again, but Volcheck was paying no attention, but then as quick as a flash, the weight of Volcheck was gone, summer quickly sat by my side, pulling me into her embrace, I turned and saw that Ryan had Volcheck pinned to the floor, he started punching him in the face,

"what the hell do you think you were trying to do? Huh? Do you get off on that sort of thing?" Ryan spat after every punch,

Then Ryan was pulled off by Luke and Seth, leaving Volcheck to sit up, he spat blood from his mouth into the sand, "the police are on their way" Luke announced, and Volcheck started chuckling, suddenly summer stood up, pulling me up with her,

"what is wrong with you? It's bad enough doing this to anyone, but to someone that's pregnant, you're sick" summer ranted at Volcheck, and everyone around us froze, and looked at us,

"you're pregnant?" Ryan asked me, and summer turned to look at me, obviously aware of what she had just confessed.
