I really can't believe how quickly I'm banging these chapters out. I think I might be a little addicted lolll.
This chapter gets into a little more detail. Hope you guys like, and I would LOVE it if you let me know what you think, good or bad….so make sure to review!!!
Reid read over the page carefully. "Huh…well that's weird". He said, then placed the book down and got up. "So are we done here? Can I go?"
"Are we done here, can you go?...Are you comprehending what you just read?" Caleb asked, in shock of his friends nonchalant reaction.
"Yeah, I'm comprehending it…but I don't know what you want me to do about it? Why are you all acting as if this has to do with me, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who had sex tonight."
"I didn't" Tyler responded, in a disappointed tone.
"Kate's on the pill" Pogue chimed in
Reid glared at Caleb. "Well, I know for a fact that you did" He said, in a worried/aggravated tone.
Caleb sighed…"Actually, Reid…I didn't. Nothing happened between me and Maggie. Something may have happened, but after you burst into the room panicking about Christine seeing your eyes turn black, well…needless to say, nothing happened after that"
Reid stood silent for a few minutes. Then started laughing…"You guys are fucking stupid to think I was gonna fall for this. Honestly…the three of your heads put together, this is the best you can come up with to fuck with me? You need to work on your pranking skills" Reid laughed, then turned and headed for the door. The door slammed shut in front of him.
"Reid, this isn't a fucking joke. For once your in life will you take something seriously. Did you use a condom?" Caleb said as anger started to take over him.
Reid shook his head no.
"Is she on birth control?"
Reid shrugged his shoulders…he never asked.
"This is unbelievable, how could you be so stupid Reid! None of us here are ready to be fathers, ESPECIALLY not you! You still act like your 17 and you met this girl yesterday. Do you realize that? You met her yesterday, it's fucking bad enough that you had to tell her about us…and now she is going to be the mother of one of us. This is not happening right now. This is seriously not fucking happening" Caleb repeated to himself as he paced back and forth holding his head.
"Caleb, calm down..maybe this isn't so bad. I mean, we are 23…our fathers were all 20 if not younger when we were born. That's the way it has always been." Pogue spoke up. Maybe this situation really isn't as bad as it seems.
"Yeah Caleb, he's right...and besides, if Reid never burst in on you and Maggie…you would probably be in the same situation right now." Tyler stated, he always stood up for Reid…whether he was wrong or right, but this time…Caleb was being a little harsh.
Caleb knew this, and yes they were both right. But this isn't how it is supposed to be. The woman who gives birth to a Covenent member is supposed to be your wife, someone who you know is capable to handle this type of responsibility. A woman who will live and die with this secret. Not some girl you met in a bar the night before. Caleb was deep in thought.
Reid hasn't really said anything. Caleb was right…he met Christine yesterday and she might be pregnant? Not might be, is pregnant…that book is never fucking wrong, even though he's wanted it to be many many times before, he knew it was never wrong. Do I tell her? What if she freaks out and leaves…or even worse, what if she wants me to marry her? Oh my God I am not ready for marriage right now. What the fuck am I saying…marriage is the least of my concerns, fatherhood? I can't be a father!!
Reid's mind was racing a mile a minute. His entire life, he had control over every situation. Failing chemistry, getting a girl, fixing his car after smashing it into the garage. Every situation, bad or good, that he has been in…all he had to do was use, and it was fixed. He can't fix this. There was nothing to fix. When you are a member of the Covenent, this is a good thing. This is what your entire life is about, to pass on this legacy…to make sure that it doesn't die with you. Why doesn't a feel like a good thing? Oh, maybe that's because I don't even know her last fucking name.
Reid got up, he couldn't sit there anymore. He felt like he had to do something, he didn't know what…but he knew he couldn't stay there.
"I'm gonna…go for a drive, or something" He mumbled.
"Reid…you okay?" Tyler asked with concern in his voice.
"I guess I have to be huh…" And with that Reid walked out aimlessly.
He got in his car and stared at the clock. 4:17am. I wonder if Christine is still awake.
Maggie and I talked for a while before heading off to bed.
It was so strange. For my entire my life, when it has come to guys, I've always been a game player. I'll not call them back for days, then act like I've been dying to see them. I'll date 3 guys at once, or no one for a year. I've never called someone my boyfriend, even if they pretty much were…the label always freaked me out. I think I have a fear of commitment. So here's the part that I don't get…I met Reid yesterday. YESTERDAY. And I really wanna see him, I don't want to go home tomorrow because of him. That is not me, that is so not me. I'm not like that when it comes to guys I've known a year, let alone one I have known for 24 hours. This is driving me crazy. Oh, and that's the other thing. I am not the one night stand type of girl. I've only had sex with one other person in my life, and needless to say…that was Jeff. Big mistake there. But seriously, what the hell made me want to have sex with this guy that I have known for 1 day, how does this guy make me nervous to be around him. I'm the one who is supposed to make them nervous, not the other way around. I don't think I like this.
I was laying in bed staring up at the ceiling, then I glanced at the clock. 4:26am. Why the fuck am I still up? It's been a pretty eventful day, you would think I would be in the 7th dimension of sleep by now.
Hey…Reid said he would come by when he was done. I wonder if everything is okay. Oh my god, maybe it was just his way of getting rid of me. He had sex with me and that was it. How could I be so fucking stupid, of course that's it. HELLO!! You met him yesterday…what did you expect?
I just got played.
Just then I heard footsteps walking down the hallway making the floor boards creek. I sat up. Either I have been right this whole time and this house is possessed by evil spirits, or Maggie is trying to scare me…or, Jeff? No, no way…it can't be Jeff.
The footsteps were getting closer. Whoever it was, was trying to be quiet, but that's nearly impossible in this house.
I jumped out of bed and grabbed an umbrella I found laying on the floor. I stood next to the door in attack mode and waited. And waited. And waited.
Then I heard a scream.
Maggie!!
I ran out of the room, umbrella still in hand. I don't really know what I intended on doing to the attacker with an umbrella, but it was gonna have to do.
I ran down the hall to Maggie's room and busted open the door like I was on NYPD Blue and what do I see?
Maggie under her bed covering herself with the blankets and a blushing Reid apologizing.
"Shit, Shit Maggie I'm so sorry. I thought this was Christine's room. I am really really sorry"
I stood in the door way and laughed, Maggie did the same. Reid didn't find the situation as funny. I have to be honest with you, at that second I got really happy. Like overly happy. He came back, so he didn't just fuck me and leave. That was a good feeling.
"Ohh, so that's how it is. You had me already, so now you were coming after Maggie. What a pig!!" I joked
He rolled his eyes and apologized to Maggie about 8 more times before I took his hand and led him down the hall to the right room.
We went inside and he sat on the bed with his head in his hands. I knelt on the bed behind him and started to massage his back. "I'm really happy you came back" I said softly and kissed his neck. He got up.
"Okay, maybe I'm not happy you came back" I laughed and laid back on the bed.
"Did everything go okay with the guys?" I asked, just trying to make conversation. He was being awkwardly quiet.
"Um, yea…it went ok. When's your birthday?" He asked
"December 10th, Why?"
"Where in New York are you from?"
"Brooklyn…Why??"
"Do you have any brothers, or sisters? Are your parents still married?"
"Reid you are creeping me the fuck out, why all the questions." I asked and sat up.
"I'm just trying to get to know you, is that a fucking bad thing? I don't know if you're aware of this but we did just have sex and I don't know a God damn thing about you"
I looked at him as if he was speaking German.
"Wow, I've never heard bullshit like that in my life. You are trying to tell me that every single girl you've had sex with, you interview afterwards?" I laughed…"Seriously, Reid…what is this all about?"
He was in deep thought for a minute. Then brushed it off. "It's nothing, I'm just acting crazy tonight. After everything that's happened I think I'm just a little off balance" He smiled and walked over to the bed. He took his shirt off, then his shoes, then his pants and got in.
"Uh, can I help you?" I laughed
"No, you can't just, go to sleep" He wrapped his arm around my waist.
This was nice.
