Chapter 5

"SIMON!" Cecilia's father yelled angerly and he rushed into

Simon's hospital room. Simon sat up in a hurry.

"What! What did I do now." He groaned as the three other

teenage boy he shared a room with snickered.

"You got my daughter pregnant! That's what you did!"

"HUH?" Simon said confused as Cecilia and her mom rushed

in. "Dad. You didn't let me finish you jump to conclusions to

fast." She whined.

"Well who else could've done it? He is your boyfriend after

all."

"What's going on?" A nurse demanded.

"Oh I'll tell you what's going on that boy got my daughter

pregnant!"

"What! I didn't get anyone pregnant."

"Yeah he didn't get anyone pregnant."

"Then who did?"

"Sir get out! You are disturbing patients." The nurse yelled.

"Just let her answer and then I will."

"I'm not saying who it was. Besides even if I did I'd like

Kevin or Roxanne to be here when I tell."

"Thank-you I'm leaving now. We'll talk when you get

home." Her father said leaving and dragging his wife along with

him.

"Well he actually took that a lot better then I thought he

would." Cecilia exclaimed sitting down by Simon. "Simon,

promise me something."

"What?"

"Promise that nine months from now you won't leave me

because of what other people are saying? Promise that you'll be

there for me no matter what happens?"

"Of coarse I promise I could never leave you even if I tried."

"Thanks." She replied kissing him.

"My life is messed right now." Simon groaned.

"Why?"

"Well one this, two Ruthie seems to be convinced she's in

love and she's only 13, three today it's seven years ago exactly that

Lucy's best was killed and I wouldn't be surprised if she came in

here any minute balling her eyes out and Kevin can't figure out

what's wrong with her, and many more things that I'm not even

going to bring up."

"Lucy's best friend died?"

"Yeah it still hits her pretty hard this time of year and with

the way she handles problems it drives my mother insane."

"That's terrible."

"Yup."

"Sorry I've got to go to class lunch break is almost over but

I'll be back after school. Love you."

"I love you too bye." Cecilia kissed him one more time and

left the room. Simon felt the eyes from the other boys on him.

"What?" He asked.

"You're lucky man. My girlfriend would've dumped me if

she even saw me in the hospital because she would think that it

was embarrassing."

"Yea same here that's what happened to me."

"Me to."

"Sorry guys."

"It's fine nothing you could do."

"Yeah. So who are you?"

"I'm Simon what about you guys?"

"I'm Craig."

"Derrick."

"Adam. So Simon tell us about yourself and your family."

"Well I'm one of seven kids. My oldest brother Matt is in

medical school with his wife Sarah he's 23, my sister Mary is 22

she's a flight attendant, My sister Lucy is 20 she's collage and

married to a cop, then there's me, then Ruthie she just turned 13,

and then the twins Sam and David they're 4."

"Big family."

"Yeah I no."
