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."
"SIMON!" Cecilia's father yelled angerly and he rushed into
Simon's hospital room. Simon sat up in a hurry.
