A/N; Too many characters to keep up with... I've totally forgotten about Spiberty moments! UGH.

Liberty followed Spinner through the hallways, desperate to catch up to him. Ever since Kendra started hanging out with Paige, he'd become distant. Liberty worried about him, he'd had a rough year- and altough Liberty didn't support most of the things he'd done- she understood that he'd changed and was trying to make things right. She also understands why Paige and everybody are yet to forgive him for having Jimmy shot (accidentally) because she knew she'd probably be pissed at him, too, if it had been Emma or Toby.

"Gavin!" Liberty called, catching up to him and grabbing his hand. "What's going on?"

Spinner shook his head, and pulled his hand away. He knew he was being distant and that Liberty was probably worried but he had a lot of his mind right now, like how Liberty was the only person he had in the entire school now that even his own sister had turned on him.

"Honestly, are you still worrying over Kendra? She'll come around. She's just going through some times right now because of the break up. Three years is a long time to be with somebody," Liberty did what she was best at- stating the obvious. She knew she wasn't the best at comforting people.. which is why she'd never been very close to Emma or Manny; two girls that constantly needed to comforted.

"I know," Spinner said, quickly pecking Liberty on the lips to show her that he was fine, but the look in her eyes showed that she didn't believe for a second that he was. Spinner just smiled a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, and took her hand..

They past Manny and JT in the hall, they seemed to be having a heated conversation, and didn't notice Liberty and Spinner walking by. That was fair enough, since every time anybody from Liberty's childhood group of friends saw them together they just stared anyway. Liberty knew that the two of them were an unlikely pair, but that didn't mean people needed to stare all the time. She was happy with Spinner and that was all that matter to her.

"Do you think they're together now?" Spinner asked Liberty, awaking her from her inner-rant about respect for others' relationships.

"Who? JT and Manny?" Liberty asked, glancing at her boyfriend. The word still seemed weird thinking about as describing Spinner.

"Yeah, they seem pretty close over there." Spinner smiled. Manny was his ex-girlfriend, until he'd nearly gotten her best friend as well as his own killed. Spinner's mood darken. He rarely even thought about the fact that his girlfriend (at the time.) and his sister's boyfriend (at the time.) had almost been shot by Rick, too, and because of a stupid prank. He could even forgive himself if anybody had died... even Rick's death will always haunt him. And he hated Rick... he truly cared about Jimmy and even Emma. As for Toby, well, Spinner cared enough about Kendra to know how horrible Toby dying would have been as well.

"...Gavin?" Liberty said loudly. Spinner's mind was somewhere else again. Ever since that stupid conversation with Paige! She hoped that she wasn't thinking about the shooting, he needed to stop beading himself up over that.

"Yeah, sorry." Spinner said, mentally pushing away all thoughts of Rick Murray.

"I SAID... I don't think JT and Manny are together. I heard she's pregnant," Liberty said slowly, feeling bad for Manny although at the same time; Liberty hadn't yet forgiven her for the accusation after Emma went into the hospital. Manny Santos was selfish and clearly didn't know what condoms were for.

"Again?" Spinner sighed. Sure, Spinner had lost his virginity to Manny but he'd been smart about it. He used a condom, unlike Craig. "Oh man, this'll ruin Craig. He's just starting to accept the fact that he and Manny aren't going to get back together and now she's pregnant."

"I also heard it's not Craigs." Liberty said, wondering when she became such a gossip. This wasn't like her... was she really that mad at Manny that she'd gossiping just so to get back at her hateful words?

"Wait... you mean Isaacs?" Spinner stopped dead in his tracks, causing Liberty- whom was still holding his hand- to jerk backwards and nearly fall.

"Unlikely.." Liberty said, although the mentioning of them not using a condom tugged at her mind. "Mostly like Jay's."

"Jay Hogart!?" Spinner burst out laughing. He'd clearly forgotten that he was still within ear shot of Manny and JT, whom both looked over curiously.

"Sshh!" Liberty hissed, smacking her hand over Spinner's mouth. Manny looked like he realized what they were talking about, and took off down the hall. JT shot the two lovebirds a dirty look and hurried after her. Liberty started laughing with Spinner, and they collapsed to the ground in front of the guidance office.


A few hours later.

Manny and JT sat on the edge of her bathroom, waiting for another minute or so before the test would be complete.

"Last time I was doing this I was at Emma's." Manny said slowly, remembering the moment well.

"Emma was okay with you being pregnant?" JT asked. He hadn't realized that Emma had been supportive of Manny at all.

"No. She didn't even know until Ashley outed us. I was at her house beside the only adult I could think to turn to was Spike." Manny admitted. It pained her that Emma hadn't been supportive at all of the pregnancy, but became pissed when Manny got an abortion. It just didn't make any sense.

The rest of the time went by in silence, both Manny and JT lost in their own thoughts. When the timer on JT's watch beeped, time was up.

Manny got to her feet and slowly moved towards the little stick sitting on her bathroom counter. She picked up and closed her eyes. She couldn't even bare to look at it.

"Whatever happens, Manny, I'm here for you alright?" JT said, softly although he had not managed to get to his feet.

"Okay.." Manny said lightly, sounding as though she was going to faint.

"Manny, you have to look at it." JT reminded her. Manny opened her eyes and nearly passed out.

"Well... who knew positive could be such a negative thing?" Manny laughed in a way that was clear that she was about to start crying. JT finally managed to stand up. He walked quickly towards his friend, and wrapped her into a hug. They sat on the bathroom floor, while Manny cried. Both teens wondered how things had gotten so messed up.
