A/N: lol I'm so evil, aren't I? To have left you with a cliff hanger.
Hehe Well, God punished me while I was in NY.........I have a slight cold
that I have to get over in 2 weeks cause of Jessy's wedding! AH, it's
finally here!! lol So I have to be well for that. Yeah, so my
grandmother is a bitch, but whatever. Lol I believe this will be the last
chapter with an epilogue to follow after, which is something I've never
dealt with before, but I'm gonna try it. Like it's hard, right? lol Oh,
Old Navy officially sucks. They've like gone into preppy mode and I'm so
totally not preppy. And all their jeans are stretch now! I'm so pissed!
I used to get my jeans there cause they're cheap and comfy. They fit just
right. Well, now they're all stretch material and I hate stretch. Guess
people will just have to get me 50 dollars worth of Hot Topic gift cards so
I can get jeans there. Lol RIIIIGGGHHHHTTT!!! Lol Oh, ya'll have to
jump over to my Shaney's website. He updated his journal and it totally
proves how much of a male slut and pimp he truly his. He was totally
"Hurri-Pimpin". Lol How cute is he?! I love my Shane. He had sex in the
grotto of the Playboy mansion. And one of his comments I feel like I
should be offended, but at the same time I feel like I should be prouder
than I've ever been in my life. Lol hehe You guess at the comment he
made. Although I'd bet almost anything you'll never get it. lol Anyways,
here's the long awaited last chapter, I think. Lol Oh yeah, I kinda made
up a couple of my own little words. Cause I couldn't think of real words
to take their place. So if something doesn't totally look right, it's
probably not.
****************
She jumped to her feet and pushed him against the wall as hard as possible. "I'M FUCKIN PREGNANT YOU DICKHEAD!" she screamed at him as the bell rang, the classes slowly walking into the halls.
His face showed total dumbfoundedness as he stared down at her. "What are you talking about?" he asked.
"Charlie, I'm pregnant," she growled through clenched teeth.
"Oh my God!" he exclaimed throwing his hand to his forehead. "What the hell are we going to do?! How the hell did this happen?! We always used a condom! FUCK!"
"What are you talking about?" Cinder questioned in confusion.
"I can't have a kid! No way in hell! I'm graduating, I'm going off to NYU, I'm gonna be rich! I can't let this interfere in my life!"
"Excuse me?!" Cinder's anger was beginning to rise once again.
"You gotta get rid of this problem!" he ordered, grabbing her shoulders tightly.
"Problem?"
"No questions about it! It's gone. We're goin to a clinic this afternoon. Our problem will be destroyed."
"Our problem?" she laughed.
"Yeah, we're gonna DESTROY it," he repeated emphasizing his words.
"I most certainly am NOT killing my child!" she cried pulled away from his grip.
"I can not have this thing in my life. Do you know what it could do to me?!"
"It's not fuckin yours!" she screamed.
"What?! Of course it is! Who the hell else would sleep with YOU!?" he laughed.
She laughed offendedly and replied, "Well, while you were off Valentine's Day fuckin around with your friends, I had the best sex EVER with my best friend. Because you're an asshole and sent HIM to do your dirty work. He cared for me when you never did! I actually felt special! You just made feel cheap!"
"Jeff?! You fucked Jeff?!" Charlie roared as he stood an inch in front of her in a threatening way.
She pushed him back and smiled. "Yeah, Jeff. So it's not YOUR problem! IT'S JEFF HARDY'S!" she screamed.
"Mine?" She heard Jeff's soft voice behind her and her eyes instantly welled up. "Cinder?"
"Well?" Charlie smirked crossing his arms.
Cinder punched his chest and turned slowly to face Jeff. "Cinder, you're......are you........are we pregnant?" Jeff stuttered nervously.
"I'm so sorry Jeff," she cried.
"Shh, Cin, it's okay," he said softly pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly, stroking her hair. "How do you know it's mine?"
She pulled away and smiled up at him. Maybe it was her tears or maybe it was truly happiness, either way, he saw this beautiful sparkle in her eyes. "You're the last person I slept with. And Charlie and I always used condoms. And we haven't had sex since like the last weekend in January," she explained. "Besides, I know in my heart, that it's yours."
"Oh, wow," Jeff said rubbing his face as he stepped back from her.
"Jeff, I'm sorry, I wish I could take it all back. You don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of it by myself," Cinder cried.
"Get to class! The bell rung minutes ago!" the freshmen guidance counselor yelled to them. They looked around them and noticed they were alone. None of them had heard the bell ring to start class.
"I never expected you to cheat on me. What twist huh? Especially since I've had Dawn Marie for the past 3 months," Charlie laughed walking away towards his class.
"I guess, I'll go to class. Don't worry about anything. You'll never hear about this again," Cinder smiled weakly as the sparkle had faded from her eyes. She turned and began to walk away, but Jeff grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him, kissing her passionately. His hands held her face still as he looked deeply at her. Slowly noticing the sparkle returning.
"Cinder, I don't want you to keep this all to yourself. It's my responsibility too and I wanna be there till the end," he smiled at her.
"But this was all a mistake," she said.
"The baby may be unexpected. But I wouldn't call any of this a mistake. Especially not us sleeping together. I gotta admit, I loved it. I don't regret it in the least."
"You don't?"
"Not at all. When we first met, I felt this attraction to you, this connection if you will, and I've felt it always since then. But it was different. But you kissed me that day before you went to Charlie's before the dance and I knew immediately that something was different. I couldn't get the kiss out of my head. And then the way everything unfolded, I don't know. All I know Cinder is that I do love you. And I'll love the child when it's born. I want to be in its life as well as yours," Jeff spoke sincerely and Cinder could only smile at his words. "Aren't you going to say something?"
"I love you too," she replied. He laughed and hugged her tightly.
"So, how'd Adam react?" Jeff asked.
"He hasn't," she answered. "The only one's who know are you, Lizzie, and Charlie. And Lizzie thinks Charlie's the father."
"How long have you known?"
"Almost 3 months?" she guessed.
"How come you kept it a secret for so long?"
"Scared. God was I scared," she answered wandering down the hall, he followed closely. "I'm afraid of telling my mom, I'm afraid of telling Adam, I'm afraid of just everything. Of being alone, of everyone just judging me."
"Cinder, people love you. I don't think you'll ever be alone," he smiled. "You know, you gotta tell them. And as soon as possible. Cause you won't be able to hide for too much longer. And I wanna be there when you do it. We'll do it together."
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Of course. I wouldn't lie to you. We'll gather everyone together and tell them. Tonite. Lizzie, your Mom, Matt, my Dad, Adam," Jeff stated.
"No! Not Adam. I'll tell Adam by myself," she stopped him placing her hand on his chest.
"Alright, I understand. Everyone else will be told tonite. Your place?" he asked grabbing her hand and holding it lovingly as he pulled her gently with him towards the entrance of the school.
"Yeah, sure, but Jeff, where are we going?" she asked.
"Hey, they keep tabs on us since we're repeat offenders," he laughed. "Might as well make something out of the day if we're going to get in trouble for skipping, right?"
"Trust me, skipping class is the last thing on my mind," Cinder muttered with a smile as she closed her body into his.
*****************
"Adam, can I speak to you for a minute?" Cinder asked knocking on the wall of Adam's room. He looked up at her and smiled.
"Yeah, come on in you little trouble maker," he laughed patting the bed. She took a deep breath as she entered and shut the door behind her. "What's up?" She sat next to him, placing her hands in her lap, and refusing to look at him.
"Adam, I love you and you love me right?" she asked nervously.
"Of course. C, what's goin on? Are you okay?" he asked put his hand on her's. She shook it off and closed her eyes.
"You'd love me no matter what, right?" she asked.
"Cinder, you're worrying me," Adam confessed.
"Will I always be your Cinderella?" she cried breaking into tears.
"C, honey, you'll always be my Cinderella, my shining star, my baby sister," he smiled wrapping his arms around her.
"Adam, I'm so scared to tell you this! I'm so afraid you'll stop being my big brother," she cried.
"Oh God no! Why would you think that?!"
"Because you told me when I started dating Charlie again that I wasn't to come crying to you when shit blew up in my face."
"I was just upset that nite! I didn't really mean it! Of course I want you to come to me with your problems. Charlie related or otherwise!" She struggled up the courage and looked at him. His piercing blue eyes staring into hers. His wavy blonde hair pulled back into a loose ponytail, stray pieces lying on his face.
"Well, shit has blown up in my face," she smiled.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Adam, Charlie abused me mentally and physically, but I was so scared to do anything about it. So it got so deep in that I couldn't get out of it anymore. Well, one week started being really nice to me. And I was all excited and stuff. Well, Jeff was really the only one that knew the extent to the abuse. And I asked Charlie if we could get a room Valentine's Day just to have a romantic nite together. And he agreed to it. So at the dance he tells me that he'd meet me in the room and gives me the key. I get all dressed down for him, ya know what I mean, and wait, and wait, and wait. Finally Jeff comes in and I thought he was Charlie and I kiss him and rip his clothes off. So when he spoke I finally realized it was him and we were standing there in our underwear. He tells me how much of a dick Charlie is and I slept with him. I had sex with Jeff. But I can't say that I'm sorry about it, cause I'm not," Cinder cried.
"So you cheated on Charlie? So what? He was cheating on you with Dawn Marie. I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't cause I didn't want to hurt you and I figured you'd never believe it," Adam replied hugging her.
"No, Adam, I'm not finished," she stopped him. They looked at each other, confusion set on Adam's face.
"Alright," he said quietly.
"Charlie and I always used protection. ALWAYS. God forbid something fuck up his future. But Jeff and I, well," she sighed.
"You didn't?" Adam guessed.
"No, we didn't," Cinder said. "Adam, I'm pregnant with Jeff's baby."
Adam stood instantly, shocked, and paced his room. She didn't know whether he was angry, upset, or what. She just sat there watching him.
"You're pregnant?" he asked stopping to look at her. She just nodded, unsure of what he'd do. "Oh my God." He sat on his desk and bounced back up almost immediately. "Does Jeff know?"
"Yeah, today," she answered.
"Today. So, what, am I the last to know?" he asked almost angrily.
"No, not at all," she replied.
"Oh God," he said sitting next to her. "I can't believe my little sister is pregnant."
"Adam, I'm sitting right here."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Like I said, you told me not to come to you and I thought you were serious," she answered him. "Listen, I know you're probably pissed at me. But I wanted to tell you before we told the family tonite. If you wanna be there for that, I'd really like that. I love you Adam. And I never meant for any of this to happen to me." She started balling, tears just streamed down her face in a constant river. She stood but the force of Adam's body held her back. She buried her head in his chest as they stood in his room in a warm embrace.
**************
"I'm so nervous," Cinder whispered to Jeff as they sat in the dining room waiting for everyone to join them.
"Don't be. I'm right here with you," he smiled reassuringly at her before kissing her cheek.
"Well, why are we all here?" Lizzie asked sitting next to Jeff as everyone started to file in.
"Well, we're here to make an announcement and it concerns all of us," Jeff started.
"But we want you to know that we plan to take care of this problem by ourselves. We won't rely on any of you for help," Cinder said as Adam walked in and stood in the back. He gave her a small smile and she nodded slightly at him.
"Honey, you're scaring us. What's the matter?" Leeann asked them avoiding all eye contact with Gil.
"There's really no easy way to say this. So I'm just gonna say it instead of really beating around the bush," Cinder said taking in air. "I'm pregnant and Jeff is the father."
"WHAT?!" Leeann screamed standing up in a rage. Gil shook his head angrily and Matt and Lizzie looked at each other with similar looks of shock on their faces. "I thought you were more responsibly than this Cinder!"
"Mom, I'm sorry. It just happened!" Cinder exclaimed.
"Things like this don't just happen! What the hell were you thinking?!" Leeann said.
"Ms. Copeland, we weren't thinking to be honest with you," Jeff replied.
"I'm not speaking to you!" she growled at Jeff. Jeff backed away and watched as she seemed to pounce on Cinder. "How'd you go and get yourself pregnant?! I can't believe this! I'm so disappointed in you!"
"Leeann, calm down," Gil spoke standing.
"Calm down?!" she questioned. "Your son got my daughter pregnant and you want me to calm down?!"
"Mom, it just happened. We didn't plan it. I don't regret having sex with Jeff. Not in the very least!" Cinder exclaimed.
"I'm not speaking to you at this moment!" Leeann screamed at her daughter. Jeff ran to Cinder's side and wrapped an arm around her. Leeann turned all her anger on Gil and started fighting it out with him. Adam got the kids' attention and nodded to the living room.
"You alright?" he asked Cinder and Jeff. Jeff smiled as he and Cinder sat on the couch.
"Thanks Adam," Cinder said.
"You're gonna be a father?" Matt asked still confused.
"Yeah, I am. And Cinder's going to be a mother," Jeff smiled.
"You said it was Charlie's," Lizzie spoke harshly.
"I never said it was Charlie's," Cinder corrected her.
"You never denied it," Lizzie snapped.
"Maybe I didn't, but at the time I was very scared and confused and didn't know what to do," Cinder said.
"I'm your cousin! We're best friends! I thought you knew you could trust me!" Lizzie said.
"Lizzie, it's not a matter of trust because I do trust you. I didn't tell anyone until today," Cinder said.
"Why couldn't you tell me?" Lizzie asked.
"I was just scared. It was bad enough that I told you I was pregnant at all!" Cinder said.
"How long?" Matt asked.
"3 months May 14th," Jeff answered.
"Valentine's Day?" Matt asked.
"Yeah," Jeff said.
"Charlie?" Matt questioned.
"Dickhead," Cinder laughed. "He left me alone, Jeff gave me a message from me, etc, etc, and here we are right now."
"I can't believe their fighting over us," Jeff sighed as the screams from the kitchen were getting louder. Cinder held Jeff's hand tightly and just gave him a look of utter adoration.
"Are you two in love?" Lizzie asked with a smile.
"Yeah, I think we are," Cinder laughed.
"Yeah, we are," Jeff nodded with a large smile on his face that was just infectious to Matt and Adam, causing them to smile at the couple as well.
