Hi guys! Here's your new update. I've tried to make this chapter longer,
but I usually just write short chapters. If the chapters are longer, then
it will take longer for me to update so keep that in mind. But since you
guys asked for longer chapters I will try for you. Anyway I hope you enjoy
this chapter.
"Dally, when's mommy coming back?" Andrew asked me.
"I don't know Andrew. She may stay gone for a while." I told him. I didn't really know what to tell him. She said she wasn't coming back, but you can't just come right out and tell a four year old that.
"I want mommy to come back." Andrew said.
"Andrew shut up. She's not coming back!" Melissa said.
"She is too!" Andrew yelled back at Melissa as tears slowly made their way down his face.
"Don't cry Drew. I'm sure mom will be back soon." I told him as he crawled on to my lap.
Andrew cried until he fell asleep. I laid him on the bed and sat back down in the chair by the closet.
"I'm sorry Dally." Melissa said so low that I almost didn't hear her.
"It's all right Lissy (pronounced the same as Missy except with an L)." I told her. She came over and sat down on the floor beside me.
"I shouldn't have said that to Andrew though."
"No, you shouldn't have. But I think he'll get over it." I told her.
Melissa hugged me and started to cry.
"Oh, not you too." I joked. Melissa laughed.
"I miss mom." She said.
"I know you do." I told her.
"Is she coming back Dally?"
"I don't know baby-girl. I doubt she will." I told her.
"We'll be ok as long as we have you Dal." Melissa said. A few minutes later, Crystal walked into the room. She looked like she'd been crying.
"Dallas, can I talk to you for a minute?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah." We walked down the hall to an empty room so we could talk privately.
"Dally..." She started off. I knew something was wrong right then. "I'm pregnant." She said. My heart dropped. Crystal and I had never, so that meant...
"How could you go off and sleep with someone else? I thought you were different than all the other girls around here, that's why I liked you so much." I turned and started to walk off.
"Dallas wait!" She called to me, but I ignored her. I didn't want to hear what she had to say. I didn't care what she had to say, all I knew was that I was pissed at her and me and Crystal were over! How could that bitch say she loved me and then get pregnant by some other guy?
"Hey Dal." Beck said walking in.
"Hey Becky." I said as I walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. Andrew was asleep and Melissa was still trying to get to sleep.
"You going out with Steve tonight?"
"I've already been out with Steve." She said.
"What happened?" I asked and sighed.
"We went to the movies and after the movie was over we walked to the park. When we got there, a bunch of Socs were hanging around. They jumped Steve and I ran to get Darry, Soda, and Two-Bit. When I got there Tim was there too so he came. They beat Steve up pretty bad. I was at the hospital with him, but the doctor made me leave. They said I should come home and get some sleep." Becky said.
"He'll be all right Becky." I told her. She looked like she break down and start crying any minute.
"What happened to Crystal?" Becky asked.
"The little bitch was two-timing me and ended up pregnant." I told her.
"How do you know it's someone else's?" Becky asked.
"Because I never slept with her." I said.
"Oh, that's surprising. Usually you just love 'em and leave 'em." Becky said.
"Yeah I know." I said. You'd think I'd be upset about Crystal, but truth is all I felt was relieved. I'm glad I didn't have to be there for her, to care for her. All I wanted was my relationships that usually just lasted one night or three days. I was happy with that.
