A/N: Here we got the Smitchie problem and the Nalex problem. (Well, Nalex gets a lot of problems in the future chapters, so here's one of two of Smitchie's problems.) Huge, huge, huge problem. But that's okay (: Enjoy!


Monday came back, and Mitchie started to grow even more worried. She had painful headaches, her stomach hurt, she was continuously barfing, and her breasts were even hurting. She had no idea what to do or what was even happening. She didn't dare tell her parents her problem since she's already in so much trouble though, and seeing the doctor was out of the question.

She did have a feeling of what was going on to her…

Before school Mitchie went to a drug store to buy some things. She bought four pregnancy tests and rushed off to school since she was late. Once she reached school, Mitchie ran to the bathroom and took the tests, ready to meet her fate.

Heart entered the school, not as angry as she was on Saturday. She was still furious at her cousins for ruining her wonderful time with Greg. Sure she had a forgiving place somewhere in her soul, but hell, she was still pretty pissed. Heart opened her locker angrily. Then there was a tap on her shoulder.

"Hey, Heart," Alex said, smiling.

Heart smiled back at her friend, hiding her frustration. "Hey, Alex." she replied.

Nate walked into the hallways and looked around for Alex. Once he saw her, he jogged up to her. No perverted innuendoes or anything planned for her today.

"Hello, pretty lady." Nate said, smirking.

Heart rolled her eyes while Alex laughed a little.

"I'm still not allowed to date you." Alex clarified lightheartedly.

Nate put his arm around her, and for once, Alex didn't mind. "So? I don't care." Nate claimed. Alex smiled but rolled her eyes. "Can I walk you to class?" Nate asked nervously. He never actually offered to take a girl to class. He never offered a girl anything unless it was a hookup.

Alex looked at Heart, shocked that those words even came out of Nate's mouth. Heart smiled and nodded her head. Just because she was angry at her cousin, it didn't mean that she was going to sabotage his goal to win her friend's heart.

"Sure." Alex said, smiling.

The two then left, walking side-by-side and sharing smiles.

Heart walked towards her homeroom, when the bathroom door opened and came out a Mitchie with her eyes watery. Heart accidentally bumped into her and four pregnancy tests that all had pluses on them fell out of Mitchie's bag and landed on the floor. Mitchie dove for them and quickly picked them up and placed it into her bag before anyone else could see. She looked at Heart desperately.

"You won't tell anyone right? Right?!" Mitchie asked frantically.

"Of course not." Heart said reassuringly, her voice nothing but a weak whisper as she stared at Mitchie with astonished eyes.

Mitchie sighed hopelessly and walked into the bathroom, signaling Heart to follow her and to lock the door behind her. It wasn't long until she started breaking down into tears, completely breaking in front of Heart. She sunk down the floor and leaned against the bathroom walls.

"I can't believe this is happening!" Mitchie cried. "I'm sixteen for God's sake! I shouldn't be pregnant! I don't even know who the freaking father is!" Heart bit her lip. I do. She thought as guilt raced through her mind. "And I can't believe it happened in my first time! My first time shouldn't be with some stranger while we're both drunk! I mean, I know that some people think I'm this whore, but I'm really not. My first time…right there at that damn party…and I don't even know who I slept with."

"I am so sorry." Heart said, handing Mitchie paper towels to wipe her tears. Her blood began pumping as the urge to just tell Mitchie continued to increase. Somehow, Heart managed to stay quiet though. She watched miserably as Mitchie buried her face into the paper towels and continued crying.

"Don't be sorry. You did nothing." Mitchie said in between her tears. She sighed shakily. "I really want to know what happened that night though. How I got drunk and who the mystery father is." Mitchie touched her stomach.

"Are you going to keep it?" Heart asked.

"I know I did lots of things that I shouldn't have done, but abortion is something I can't do. Believe it or not I'm Catholic." Mitchie replied. Heart nodded, understanding completely. The first bell finally rang, interrupting their moment. Mitchie wiped her eyes completely and applied a new coat of makeup, so it wouldn't look like she was crying.

She looked at Heart and unexpectedly gave her a hug. "Thanks." Mitchie said. She quickly released and left Heart there in the bathroom.

Heart exited the bathroom shortly and walked to homeroom. They have to know now. She thought gloomily.

On their way to homeroom, Nate somehow managed to get from wrapping his arm around Alex's shoulders to around her waist. Alex bit her lip, feeling sort of scared. Nate pulled her a little closer, and closer, and closer, until their bodies were right next to each other. Alex started feeling uncomfortable now, not used to the touch. She pushed a little away. Clearly, Nate didn't get her point though. He gently and slowly moved her back closer. This time Alex pushed him all the way. Nate looked at her, confused. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's just…I'm not used to guys touching me." Alex said truthfully.

Nate was about to laugh, but he didn't. Instead he simply took Alex's hand. "Is this okay?" he asked with a smile.

Alex looked at her hand that was being intertwined with his. "Umm, yeah." Alex said and smiled up at Nate.

"So, Alex, one question."

"Yeah?"

"If you were allowed to date me, would you say yes?"

Alex started turning red. "Well…now I would say yes." She muttered with a small smile.

"Aha! So you do like me!" Nate exclaimed.

Alex laughed. "Now I do." Then she did something she never thought she would do. Alex kissed Nate on the cheek. A simple, chaste kiss on the cheek. Nate froze and looked at Alex. She smiled at him and waved. "Buh-bye." Then she walked towards her homeroom without a second glance. Nate touched his cheek and smirked.

"I knew it." he said walking away. On his way, Nate saw a hot girl smiling at him. Nate rolled his eyes but smiled at the same time. The girl walked up to him.

"So I hear you're crushing on the nerdy girl." she said.

"She may be nerdy, but she's amazing." Nate replied.

The girl walked her fingers up Nate's chest. "Well I know how to do amazing things." the girl said seductively.

Even if Nate confessed his love for the girl of his dreams, it's not like he completely changed. He's still the pig he is. Unfortunately, Alex just happened to forget something in her locker and passed by Nate and that girl. She froze and watched them. The girl leaned up, and she and Nate started making out right there in the hallways.

"I can't believe this. I knew you were lying, but I just wouldn't believe myself." Alex said, sad and angry at the same time.

Nate immediately pulled away and looked at Alex. "Alex, wait!" he said.

It was too late though. Alex ran full speed towards the girls' bathroom.

During lunch, Heart was pacing through the empty hallways while eating her club sandwich. She was debating in her mind whether to tell Mitchie and Shane or not, which happened to be a whole lot harder than she thought.

Well they deserve to know! They are the parents of the unborn child! But their lives will get ruined, and Shane will probably leave and ignore Mitchie. Ugh, what an asshole. Then again in the video he said that he still loves her so much…ewww the video. Ugh stay on topic Heart!

So should I tell them or not…?

Heart groaned with frustration and finished the rest of her club sandwich. She walked into the cafeteria and saw Nate giving quick and shy glances at Alex who was as usual sitting alone at a table, reading a book and eating her lunch.

Heart walked through the cafeteria and sat next to Alex. "Nate's looking at you," she said in a sing-song voice. Alex completely ignored her, something Heart could honestly say that she didn't expect. "What's wrong?" She asked, knowing that there had to be some sort of problem.

Alex rolled her eyes. "I knew it was too good to be true. Nate doesn't like me. He's just saying he likes me to get into my pants." Alex said in a low voice.

Heart shot up. "What?!" she yelled. The cafeteria was silent and all eyes were on her. Heart smiled at them and slowly sat down, her cheeks burning a tad. "What?!" she repeated but in a lower voice.

"It's true. I saw him making out with another girl." Alex sighed, trying her best to act as if it didn't bother her.

Heart's mouth dropped open. "Oh my god!" He is so dead to me when I get home. Heart thought dangerously. She gave Nate an evil glare. He returned her glare with an apologetic look. He was mainly looking at Alex though.

Oh my gosh, I'm already dealing with another serious problem now I have another one since Nate's an idiotic perv who doesn't know how to take just one girl. Heart thought.

After school, Shane picked Heart up as usual. He was waiting in his car while playing with his cell phone. Heart came out, running to her cousin. Okay it's this simple. 'Shane, you got your ex pregnant at the party.' Yeah, simple like that. Heart thought sarcastically.

She opened the door and looked at Shane as she sat down and buckled. She began to open her mouth, trying to just let the truth out, but she couldn't make out the words. It all stayed in her head, not willing to get out. Shane looked at his cousin, knowing that she had something to say.

"Yes?" He asked. Heart closed her mouth, then opened it, then closed it again. She knew what to say but just doesn't know how to say it. (Or she's just too scared to say it.) Heart scratched her head, pondering whether or not this was a good idea again. "Okay, are we playing charades here or are you going to tell me?" Shane asked.

"You got Mitchie pregnant." Heart whispered so softly, she didn't even hear it. It practically ached to say it that loud.

"What?" Shane asked, barely hearing what she just said.

"You got Mitchie pregnant" Heart said, a little louder.

Shane still didn't understand. "What?"

"Are you deaf or just dense? YOU GOT MITCHIE PREGNANT!" Heart yelled.

Shane sat there frozen. He stared at Heart, absolutely confused. "What are you talking about?"

"At the party. You and Mitchie were drinking spiked punch and got drunk. You…did it upstairs and got her pregnant." Heart explained uncomfortably as she squirmed slightly in her seat.

"How? What? Huh?" Shane said, not liking what he's hearing. Heart took out her cell phone and showed Shane the video. Shane just stared at the cell phone screen, not wanting to believe what he just saw. "How did you know I got her pregnant?"

"She came out of the bathroom with four pregnancy tests that were all pluses."

Shane started banging his head on the steering wheel. "I am so stupid!" he said over and over.

Heart pushed him back. "You gotta tell her."

"You didn't?!" Shane exclaimed. Heart shook her head no. Then Mitchie came out, looking more sad than usual. Heart frowned, knowing that the news about her pregnancy is tearing the young girl piece by piece.

"Maybe you should tell her now." Heart suggested.

Shane looked at his cousin, her cell phone, then at Mitchie.
