Amanda walked up the stairs to her house. Harry had given her a ride but
she made sure he drove away, she wnated to do this alone. Looking up at
the house the moonlight shone on it reflecting with the bright lights in
the windows. This was something she did not want to have to do.
Sighing she dug into her purse and pulled out her keys. Unlocked the door she opened it and walked in, the house was quiet, praying that her father wasn't going to bring up the matter she walked in and closed the door behind her. Her heels sharply clicked on the floor as she walked into the living room and found it empty, silently she walked around looking for her father.
She found him in the kitchen at the table with a cup of coffee in his hand. Silently she stood in the door way looking at him, he had to know she was there.
"I'm home,"said Amanda quietly. Scott looked up at her with clear anger in his eyes. He set down his coffee mug and got up.
"How could you have done that?"asked Scott looking directly at her.
"Dad,"sighed Amanda.
"Do you realize what you two have done?"asked Scott.
"Yeah something simple,"said Amanda not willing to back down for him.
"You have embrassed yourself, me, the school,"said Scott trying to make her realize her actions. Amanda shook her head, turned and walked away. She walked into the living room knowing her worst thought was to come. Scott followed her in to the living room.
"I didn't embrass anyone,"sighed Amanda as she turned and looked at her father.
"Do you realize what you did?"asked Scott.
"Yeah I kissed another consenting adult,"said Amanda,"There was nothing student teacher about it."
"He was your teacher,"said Scott.
"Yeah hint and note the word was,"said Amanda.
"Amanda,"said Scott trying to find some reason with her.
"Dad Harry makes me happy,"said Amanda softly,"Can't you just leave it?"
"No I will not, do you even realize how much this is reflect on me, as your father and the vice principal?"asked Scott,"You just can't go doing stuff like that."
"Well I did,"stated Amanda.
"He's almost ten years your senior, all he is doing is taking advantage of a young innocent girl,"said Scott.
"Young and innocent?"asked Amanda shaking her head,"I'm eighteen, and have you forgotten why I'm here in the first place? Mom caught me in bed with some guy."
"It's not right and I won't allow it,"said Scott sternly.
"I'm going to see him,"said Amanda quietly.
"Think about what you're doing,"said Scott.
"I am,"said Amanda,"And this is what I want. Look I'm going to go to Jessica's tonight, I don't think we should be in the same house tonight."
"And why is that?"asked Scott.
"Because I think you're gonna have to do some thinking about this,"said Amanda tearing up,"I am going to be with Harry and there is no getting around that fact, and I don't want either one of us to say something we don't mean. I don't us to end up like Mom and me." Amanda turned and left the room before Scott could respond.
Up in her room she pulled up her backpack and started packing some clothes into it, 'at least things didn't get out of hand' thought Amanda as she threw a pair of pyjamas into her bag. She gathered up her necessities then changed into a pair of jogging pants and a tank top. As she was pulling her hair up into a ponytail she noticed a large brown manilla envelope on her dresser. Picking it up she looked at it and see it was addressed to her from her mother, creasing her brow at why her mother would be sending her anything. Shrugging she put the envelope in her backpack then grabbed the matching jacket to the pants and pulled it on. She picked up her bag and slipped over one shoulder before she left her room, she had already called Jessica from Harry's house to find out if she was okay to spend the night at her house.
As Amanda went downstairs she found Scott standing at the bottom of them. Silently Amanda inhaled as she came to the bottom of them.
"I'm going to spend a couple of days with Jessica,"said Amanda,"I'll be okay." Scott nodded as he understood. Amanda turned to walk to the door when Scott spoke up.
"Were you two, were, was their anything going on before yesterday?"asked Scott, it was more of a reasurance for him to know this was a new thing. Amanda turned and looked at her father, he looked pained at this point, she couldn't tell him the truth.
"No,"said Amanda shaking her head as she lied,"Nothing before yesterday." Amanda turned and sliently walked out of the house.
*****
Amanda sat in Jessica's living room with Jessica and her mother, Fiona. Amanda had just finished telling them the whole story of her and Harry. Both woman sat there with almost disbelief on their face.
"So let me get this straight, you successfully dated the hotest teacher ever and got away with it on a techinicality?"asked Jessica,"I don't believe you, you are God."
"We didn't get away with it,"said Amanda.
"Well Harry didn't get slipped for messing around with you, he got it because he admitted to kissing you,"said Jessica,"That's some heavy stuff."
"Ya know they really shouldn't have fired him, you weren't a student,"said Fiona.
"I don't think he really cares, he seems almost relieved,"said Amanda.
"And your dad is gonna let you see Harry?"asked Jessica.
"It's not a matter of will he let me, I told him I am and that's it, end of story,"said Amanda.
"Ya know it's kinda like Romeo and Juliet,"said Fiona smiling.
"Mom, get with it,"said Jessica sarcastically,"They're not offing themselves here."
"I know but it's sweet,"said Fiona.
"Yeah that's great,"said Jessica,"C'mon Aje, I'll take you upstairs, you look tired. Harry musta kept you busy today." Amanda smirked at her and followed her off the couch and to the stairway. Jessica grabbed Amanda's bag from the door and lead her up to her brother, Randy's room. The two girls walked in and Jessica threw Amanda's bag on the bed.
"Are you gonna be okay?"asked Jessica turning to look at her friend. Amanda bit her lip and nodded, she was stressed and tired. Jessica wrapped her arms around Amanda and hugged her.
"Hun, it's all gonna be okay, who knows some day you and Harry will live in a house with a little white picket fence and have lots of babies,"said Jessica.
"Great now you've got me having babies,"said Amanda.
"You two would have beautiful babies,"said Jessica as they parted,"Now you get some sleep."
"Yeah, hey you mind if I call Harry?"asked Amanda.
"No prob, I'm going to bed and I think my mom is too,"said Jessica. Amanda nodded as Jessica walked to the door.
"Good night,"said Amanda.
"Good night,"said Jessica as she left the room closing the door behind her. Amanda sat down on the bed and pulled over her bag, opening it she pulled out her pyjamas and quickly changed into them. Setting her bag next to the bed she crawled under the covers and picked up the phone. Quickly she dialed in Harry's number and listened to the rings. On the third one Harry picked up.
"Hello,"
"Hey it's me,"cooed Amanda smiling as she let her head rest on the pillow.
"Hey how are you?"asked Harry.
"Tired,"said Amanda,"I'm at Jessi's tonight."
"How did things go at home?"asked Harry.
"Well World War Three didn't break out but it wasn't pretty,"said Amanda,"It was overall calm."
"He didn't kick you out did he?'asked Harry.
"No, no, I told him I was gonna stay away for a couple of days cause I told him I was gonna be with you no matter what he said and he needed to think about it and get himself straight,"said Amanda.
"Well don't get yourself into anything bad,"said Harry.
"Don't worry,"said Amanda,"He asked if there had been anything going on before yesterday."
"What did you say?"asked Harry.
"No,"said Amanda.
"God if he knew,"said Harry.
"Hmm, maybe that could be interesting,"giggled Amanda,"Watching my dad going mental on your ass if I told him I snuck you in to my room when he was just across the hall."
"That was your fault, you made me do it,"said Harry.
"And you loved it,"said teased Amanda,"I'm going to sleep now, I'm tired."
"Yeah and you may need some sleep tonight, you may not get much tomorrow,"said Harry.
"And why is that?"asked Amanda as she leaned over and turned out the light.
"Well you are coming over right?"asked Harry.
"If you're inviting,"said Amanda.
"I am,"said Harry. Amanda smiled as she rolled on to her side.
"Okay well I'll let you go,"said Harry.
"I love you,"cooed Amanda softly.
"I love you too,"said Harry,"See you tomorrow."
"See you,"said Amanda before hanging up the phone. Leaning back in bed in the darkness she closed her eyes and let herself drift into sleep hoping the worst was over and that everything would just fall in to place. It was a unrealistic hope, her father was never going to accept her and Harry, at least not at first. It had to be a blow to him, one that Amanda tried to shield him from.
Sighing she dug into her purse and pulled out her keys. Unlocked the door she opened it and walked in, the house was quiet, praying that her father wasn't going to bring up the matter she walked in and closed the door behind her.
