Chapter Six: The Truth
Laney wasn't happy anymore. She rarely smiled, even when Chris said he'd help take care of the baby.
"Thanks," Laney said, "Why the hell would anyone want to rape me, or anyone else for that matter?" They were lying on Laney's bed one day.
"I don't know, baby," Chris answered, "I just know that you have no idea how much I want to kill whoever did this to you."
"He's probably happy. Probably one of those horny douche-bags that hate women."
"Yeah. I know I could never be like that."
"The worst part is.I can't go to the academy anymore. Not while carrying a baby."
"Jesus Christ. I wish I could do it all for you."
"Thanks." She kissed him and got ready for work.

Chris walked out of Kate and Merril's Pizza and Sports Bar after dropping Laney off when he saw his friends.
"Hey Chris," Gordie said, walking up to him.
"Hi Gordie."
"Look, sorry about what happened to Laney. She gonna be okay?" Gordie said.
"Yeah. She's going to have a baby, but she's very slowly perking up."
"Oh really I thought she'd be happier than that," Vern randomly said.
"Huh?" Chris asked.
"You know, she practically wanted it," Vern sounded proud of something.
"Are you saying you did it?" Chris was starting to sound mad.
"Oh yeah. Pretty good huh?"
Chris could not believe what Vern just told him.
"You can't be serious?"
"Well she's obviously still in love with me and is afraid to show it, seeing as how much you like her. She probably didn't want to hurt your feelings."
Chris couldn't listen anymore. In a split second, he punched Vern and threw him against the wall. He screamed into his face,
"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! LANEY AND I ARE IN LOVE! AND YOU'RE JUST SOME PERVERTED PUNK WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO KEEP HIS HANDS OFF! HOW DARE YOU! SHE'S DONE ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING AND YOU DO THIS TO HER! SHE CAN'T FULFILL HER DREAMS ANYMORE WANT TO KNOW WHY? BECAUSE YOU GET HER PREGNANT!"
Chris punched him one more time and ran off down the street. Vern, barley moving because a of Chris's punched and the ringing in his ears, stood up holding his face.
"Verno, I thought you were better than that! I know Laney isn't my greatest friend, but still." Teddy said walking away.
"And you hurt Chris, you fagot," Gordie said following Teddy.
