Chapter Two - "Cat's Out of the Bag"

"Pass me the oxygen," Hank directed to Val. "Val?….Val, hello!"

Blond hair flashed towards him. "What?"

Hank in return flashed her a disgusted look . "The oxygen."

"Oh ,sorry" she looked behind her and got the oxygen. "Here."

The ambulance doors slammed shut. "Val are you alright?" Tyler asked worriedly.

"Yeah I'm fine." she gave him a fake smile, purposely avoiding his eyes.

"Okay." he turned to walk away and Val could tell he was hurt.

"Tyler," she called after him, but the was drowned out my the roar of the engine. Val sighed and headed towards the rig.

Her heart thudded as she picked up the phone. 450-6972 her trembling hand dialed.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Caitie it's Val."

"What's up?"

"There's …..um something I have to tell you."

"What is it?-Wait let me guess. You've decided to shave your hair off and then dye what's left purple?"

"Very funny."

"Am I close?"

Val couldn't help but laugh. "No….Caitie I'm pregnant."

"What! What happened? Did Tyler pressure you?"

"It wasn't Tyler, it was Jamie."

"Jamie?" Caitie became quiet.

"Caitie are you still there?"

"Yes…"

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what? Jamie and I aren't going out. It's Tyler you should say sorry to. Is this why you didn't tell me before? Because you thought I'd be upset about Jamie?"

"Yes,"

"Well I'm mad because this happened at all. Val you suppose to be the overachiever, perfection. I can't believe that you could screw up this much."

"I don't know how it happened…"

"Of course you do or it wouldn't have happened." her voice softened. "Are you okay?"

"No, I could barely tell you. How am I going to tell Tyler and Jamie? My parents?"

"You didn't tell Jamie yet?"

"I don't know how to tell him."

"I'll help. Do you want me to come over?"

"Yes, thanks Caitie."

"No Problem."
