Recap: Emma's POV about that night with her and Craig.
Riley's POV
It was one rule... one time... but it turned into something more. It turned into a whole fiasco of yelling, screaming, and lecturing. Let me elaborate a little more.
I'm typically not supposed to have Haiden over, unless my parents are home. Well, yesterday mom mentioned that right after work her and Sean were going out and that they wouldn't be home til late. So, I figured maybe me and Haiden could talk. Our relationship was kinda bumping lately because we didn't see each other much this summer. So, we walked home together, and I invited Haiden in.
I'm sure you've heard the story before... we were studying, then we decided to take a "study break". Then... well, one thing lead to another... which lead to my bedroom. Then you know what happened from there. Well, when we finished, so to speak, I fell asleep on Haiden's chest. I guess he must have fell asleep, too. We must have been asleep for a while because the next thing I remember is mom yelling up the stairs looking for me. Then there was that infamous moment when she opened my bedroom door, only to find me and Haiden sprawled out on the bed. That's when the yelling began. She yelled for us to get our clothes on, then yelled for us to get downstairs as soon as we were dressed. Haiden and I hurriedly threw on our clothes.
Could this be any worse?!
Once we were dressed we slowly walked down the stairs not, even speaking to each other. Mom was pacing the living room.
"SIT!" she commanded.
We did as we were told.
"Are you two insane?!" she screamed.
We shook are heads.
"Don't you know what happened to me and Paige when we were about your age?!"
We nodded.
"Then why on earth would I have to walk into your room and find you two... sprawled out and naked?!" she yelled.
"Look, Mom, we didn't mean to... it just happened. We're sorry," I pleaded.
She stood there for a minute, just looking at us.
"Riley, 'sorry' doesn't mean anything. 'Sorry' won't keep you from getting pregnant. 'Sorry' won't keep you two together forever will it?" she inquired.
This was the first time Mom had ever doubted Haiden and I's relationship.
"No, Mom, it won't, but if Haiden and I love each other, then we will be together forever," I replied.
She didn't say much more, she told Haiden to get his things and head home, which he did. I could only imagine the lecture I was in for later.

Haiden's POV
Damn! If there was one time I could ever rewind and not do, it would be that... having sex with Riley, not because I don't love her or anything, but because we got caught.
"Haiden, are you listening?!" Mom screamed at me.
"Huh? Oh, yeah," I said.
"Then what did I just say?" she asked me.
God, I hate it when she does that.
"Um..." I trailed off.
"That's what I thought," she replied. "What I said was I can't believe that of all people... you and Riley would do this... both Emma and I got pregnant in high school and you guys know that... how could you do this?!"
"Mom, I don't know. I just... don't know," I said.
"Haiden, that's not a good answer!" she yelled.
"We love each other! Why can't you get that through your heads?!" I screamed back.
"We know that. Dad and I were in love, too and still are. But, the fact is, you two just aren't ready to have a child. You're too young... we were too young," Mom cried.
"I know that. We just got caught in the moment. But even if she did get pregnant... I would be there for here. Always," I promised.
"Haiden, we know that. It's just you're too young to know what love truly is. You're too young to know a lot of things," Mom explained.
She thinks I don't know what love is?! I'm positive I do. I've loved Riley since I met her three years ago, but I've loved her even more since I got up enough courage to ask her out two years ago and she said yes.
"Mom," I pleaded, "I know what love is."
"Haiden, you might think you do... but... ugh... you're stubborn, just like your father. You might think you do, but Haiden you're too young to grasp what it really is. You've been through too little. You need to experience things. Your father and I just want what's best for you. You know that, right?"
I nodded.
"Good, you're grounded."
I sighed. How did these conversations always end up like this?
Hi, everyone.
Sorry, it took so long to update. I've been totally busy and I've had a writer's block lately. But here it is. Please r/r. BTW, for anyone who reads it, my other fic, Today We're Thinkin' About will be updated ASAP, but I'm writing for JT, who is totally unlike me, so it's kinda hard. Please, don't give up on me :D.
Ciao,
Shelby
