You're feeling more dead than alive.
So I let you know,
If you need somewhere to go,
I'll be listening when you call and
I'll be there if you fall off,
If you need someone to believe in you
I'll let you know I will

Brooke sat at the edge of Peyton's bed with her fingers locked in her lap and her feet dangling while looking at the floor like a small puppy that got in trouble. Peyton was sitting next to her. She was sitting up straight with her arms folded across her chest.
"How did this happen?" Peyton said with a serious look on her face. She hopped up off her bed and grabbed a slinky and held on end in one hand and the other in the other hand and held it close together so it made a arch. She was directly in front of Brooke.
Brooke looked up at her a giggled a little. "Well Peyton I don't think I'm the one to give you these particular talks."
Peyton giggled and pushed Brooke playfully.
"You know not all pregnancy test are correct." Peyton said with high hopes.
Brooke sighed. "I want to talk to my mom. But she's going to flip. Peyton what do I do?" Brooke scooted back off the edge and more onto the bed. She sat 'Indian style' and put her hands in her lap. Peyton put the slinky down and sat 'Indian style' in front of her on the bed.
"Well you have to tell her I mean... what I are going to tell her when you get fatter and fatter every week and like 7 months later, your like, huge... 'Oh mom I'm not pregnant!'" Peyton laughed at her last sarcastic statement.
Brooke sighed again and covered her face and fell into Peyton's lap. Peyton stroked Brooke's hair gently. "Don't worry I'm here for you. Isn't that what best friends are for? So when one fucks up the other one has her back?" Peyton laughed. "It's ok. We've always been there for each other! It's going to be ok."
Brooke started to cry and rolled over so she could look straight up to see her best friend. "What am I going to do Peyton, Where am I going to get all the stuff for this child. He's going to have to move in... I guess that's better then him leaving me right?"
"He will help you, don't worry, he will help you buy stuff, and so will I you know, and your mom will too. And ill throw you a baby shower so then hopefully people will buy you most of the stuff you need." Peyton smiled reassuringly. "Its going to be fun!" Peyton said while bouncing.
"Lay down Peyton." Peyton knew the routine. Brooke lifted her head from her lap and Peyton laid down. Brooke placed her head on Peyton's stomach. Peyton giggled so that her stomach would go up and down and so would Brooke's head, Brooke started laughing hysterically... this was there tradition any time one of them was in need of some laughter.
"See, it will be ok." Peyton said.
