Emma led Manny to the basement and the two girls sat on Emma's bed. Manny looked downate the covers on the bed.
"Look at me!" ordered Emma.
"What?" asked Manny staring right at Emma.
Emma just stared cooly at her for a while.
"So," said Manny, "What do you have to say?"
"How long have we been friends?" Emma asked, demanding an answer.
"Since Kindergarten," said Manny in a know-it-all kind of way.
"I have to say that I'm shocked," said Emma, "I never in my wildest dreams though you would be doing half the things you've
been doing this year."
"I'm just acting like every other teenage girl," said Manny.
"Every teenage girl doesn't let guys cheat on their girlfriend!" screamed Emma.
"It was Craig's choice!" Manny shouted back.
"And so you didn't have a say in it?" Emma asked, "You didn't stop him from having sex with you!"
"Emma, come on..." Manny started to say.
"No!" said Emma, "Manny, you come on!"
"What?" asked Manny.
"You know you did the wrong thing!" Emma said, "You may have changed your look but I know that you still know right
from wrong!"
Manny started to cry.
"Manny," asked Emma, "What's wrong?"
"What do you think is worng, Emma!" Manny screamed, "I'm pregnant! At 14 years old. I'm going to have a baby!"
Manny turned around and stuffed her head on a pillow in Emma's room. She cried hard.
"I never really thought about it from your point of view I guess," said Emma.
Manny sat up again and said, "Look, I may have changed my look but I still do the same things I used to do."
"Please, you were still playing with Barbie dolls before Paige gave you that stupid advice to change your image!" Emma yelled.
"I was dressing like 5 year old!" screamed Manny, "It was time to look older!"
"I look older then I looked last year since I grew out my hair," said Emma, "I didn't have to walk around with thongs hanging out
of my jeans!"
"Well sorry that I don't dress like I'm selling bibles!" Manny shouted.
"And I'm sorry that I don't dress like a prostitute!" yelled Emma.
"Ok so maybe I'm a little revealing but it's better then dressing like a nun!" screamed Manny.
"At least nuns don't get pregnant at 14!" shouted Emma.
"You know I've had enough of this talk, Emma, so I'll be leaving now," said Manny, "I'll call if I find the church that you must be
looking for."
Emma watched as Manny left. This wasn't how she planned on their talk going. This wasn't it at all. She knew that she had to
do something. And quick before Manny leaves. She then shouted out two words she thought she would never hear herself say.
"I'm sorry," said Emma.
Manny spun around, "What?"
Emma repeated herself, "I said I'm sorry."
"For..." Manny said.
"Whatever I did to make you mad at me." said Emma.
"Oh," said Manny.
"Manny, just like you said we've been friends since kindergarten and I don't want out friendship to end," said Emma, "I really
think that you could use a friend right now during this really crazy time for you,"
"Did your mom tell you to say that?" asked Manny.
"Well that was her way of wording it," said Emma, "But, I guess she was right."
"Em," Manny started as she began to cry again, "It's just..."
Manny hugged Emma while she cried on her shoulder.
Emma then said, "It's okay. It'll all be okay. Trust me."
Spike then came downstairs. She smiled as she could tell the two girls had settled their differences.
"Girls," she began to say, "i hate to break up this moment but Manny your parents are here and you have to tell them."
"Is Joey here, too?" asked Emma.
"Everyone's here," Spike answered, meaning even Angie and Manny's brother, David.
Manny tried to hold back her cries but she knew she couldn't. In less then 5 minutes her family would know her secret. They
would know that she was pregnant.
"Look at me!" ordered Emma.
"What?" asked Manny staring right at Emma.
Emma just stared cooly at her for a while.
"So," said Manny, "What do you have to say?"
