Chapter Two: Braking The News

**************

Dinner was over when it started and night fell. Cheyenne kissed Van and they began to make out. She thought maybe she could simply get lost in making out or make him get lost. Then she would drop the bomb about college. They made out and Cheyenne noticed they had been at dinner for longer than she thought. It was eleven. Cheyenne stood up and looked at Van.

"Van, we need to talk," Cheyenne said.

"You're pregnant," Van guessed.

"No," Cheyenne replied, "I want to go to college."

"Ok..I guess your mom could take care of the baby while I'm at work," Van said, "You always wanted to go to college until..."

"Until I got pregnant," Cheyenne finished. Then she realized that Van didn't understand. "Hold on, you don't get it. I was accepted into Shady Glen University."

"That's great. Wait a minute, what don't I get?" Van asked.

"SGU is in Vermont. Shady Glen, Vermont. I want to go, Van," Cheyenne explained.

"Cheyenne, that's too far away. Vermont? Cheyenne, what about Elizabeth?" Van asked.

"We'd take her, duh. Mom, Kyra, and Jake would do fine, if not better without us. Come on, Van. Take a chance on love! Take a chance that I can live my life and be a mother and wife. Take a chance that I won't screw my life up again. It's hard to get back on track after birthing a baby. I want another chance at life outside of being a mother and wife," Cheyenne replied. Van thought.

"Can we afford this?"

"I have a scholorship!" Cheyenne replied. Van gulped.

Alright, but don't screw this up for us."

"I won't. You'll be proud."

please give me your thoughts!
