DISCLAIMER: I do not own 7th Heaven or anything related to 7th Heaven. All medical information on this story is either half-truth or completely made up. I am not a doctor. Also, if you are a fan of the happy relationships in 7th Heaven, don't read. Thos story contains a "rebel" who doesn't agree with her family and not so nice language and themes are sometimes used. Thank you. Enjoy! PS: this part contains some characters from another story called D4 from PaUlKaRiYaSgUrL9. She (the author) let me use them. Therefore I don't own them or the characters from the Mighty Ducks. Don't worry, they are just minor players, they will have no impact on the story aside from that they are friends. I don't own the plot to Jawbreaker, either, or the title.
Kay opened her mouth slightly in shock and tears started welling up at the corners of her eyes. Oh, no. Her worst fears had come true. Everyone knew now and why? Because that sonofabitch couldn't keep his goddamn mouth shut. She'd kill him. Well, she thought, at least nothing more can wrong.
Oh, Kay, why'd you have to go and say that?
Chapter 19: The Noontime After The World Ended
The principal had already called Lucy, so by the time Kay was in his office, her mother was half way there. Mr. Wentworth had explained most of the situation to her over the phone but since he didn't know much about it other than what he read, he couldn't tell her much. Actually, Lucy knew more than he did. And she also knew that there were only four other people that knew and only two of them could have done this.
She didn't have the radio playing. Before she got there, she wanted to have her thought clear and adding a song wasn't going to help clean the mess.
"Which one of them did this?" she asked herself. Then she remembered their behavior that morning. Both of the suspects had acted strangely. And yes, they were now suspects. Maybe all those years of being married to a cop had finally paid off.
That morning, Savannah was more friendly and helpful than usual. She never made breakfast, although she had helped make dinner, being as it was a rule of the house. Also, she never tried to be nice to her sister and that morning she hadn't made a single joke about her, however subtle. That was something she usually did, but she thought her parents didn't know about it. Not the brightest crayon, Lucy thought seeing as she was Camden and her husband was a cop.
But Jake had acted odd, too, come to think of it. He was always there whenever any food was made. Only on the first day of school had he ever missed a meal when he was at home. He said he was always too excited to eat. He could never eat when he was excited. It made him sick; therefore he avoided food like the plague. That morning, he had been late to breakfast and then only had some water. Lucy had asked why that was and he had simply replied that he wasn't feeling very well. At the time, she had been concerned that he was catching something but now…
She couldn't face the thought. Here she was, driving to pick her daughter up from a school that she might never be able to attend again. And even if the Board would allow her back, Lucy doubted that she'd ever want to go.
She turned onto the road that led to the school and thought of what she was doing. A few seconds ago, she was questioning her own children. It couldn't be! How could her kids do something like that?
But, then again, she never thought that any of them would do something so irresponsible as to have sex out of wedlock and thus get pregnant. Oh, Lord. What am I do to?, she said as she pulled up to the curb at the front of the school. She wouldn't be long, so there was no need to go to the parking lot.
After getting out of the car, she took a breath. She knew what faced her in that school and was afraid. Letting that breath out, she crossed the lawn and went back into her old high school.
The time wore on for Savannah. Since last night, feelings of love had surfaced for her sister and they were only heightened when she saw the posters. If she saw Jake, she didn't know what she'd do. All she knew is that she needed to talk to her sister.
But, alas, she could not. She had gotten into school early and threw away some of the posters but was busy when Kay came in. When she realized that she was in the building, Kay was already in Mr. Wentworth's office and they wouldn't let her in. They probably think I did it, she had thought.
She had figured out it was Jake almost immediately. Maybe he thought the school would never know, and maybe with his contacts they might never, but to think that his family wouldn't find out might have been the dumbest thing he'd ever done. And that was saying something because he'd done a lot of stupid shit in his time.
That didn't matter now. He didn't matter. She knew that he would get his in the end, whether it be from the family, from Kay or from God Himself. Right now, all that mattered was Kay.
"Psst." She heard from her left and turned to see her best friend, Tasha, holding a note under her desk. Being as inconspicuous as she could, she reached over and grabbed hold of the note. Slipping it under her own desk, she unfolded it and brought it onto the desk.
Vannah- whats the dealio with ur sis? Is she really knocked up? Or is that a bunch of bullshit? Ha, I bet she did this just to make herself popular.
-Tash
She read the note with a look of disgust on her face, then crumpled it and threw it all Tasha. Her "best friend" made a noise that said, "What the…?" and the entire class, including the teacher, turned to them.
"Is there something wrong, Savannah?" the teacher, a balding man in his mid-forties, said.
"Can I go to the bathroom, please?" she said and when she got a yes, she gathered her things and gave her ex-best friend a dirty look before moving down the row and finally to the door.
In the hall, she walked slowly, trying to gather her thoughts. She couldn't blame Tasha for thinking that way, or thinking that it was okay to say that. Yesterday, she would have said that same thing. "But that was yesterday," she said and surprisingly thought about Hilary Duff's song, "So Yesterday."
"Kay hates that song," she said to the empty hall and thought of the day she made her sister walk home. If she could only go back… but she couldn't. She had live in the present and show her sister that she had changed. Hopefully, she thought, it's not too late.
Ten minutes after she found out about the poster, the secretary beeped Mr. Wentworth that her mother was there. Kay turned to the door expectantly and when Lucy finally made her way thought the door, she surprised herself (and her mother, as well) by throwing herself at her mother in a tight embrace.
The shock wore off Lucy in a matter of seconds and she quickly wrapped her arms around her daughter, knowing that this could be the first and only hug she would ever get. Gently, she stroked her daughter's hair and whispered, "Shh… everything's gonna be just fine, okay sweetie? Everything's gonna be alright."
Mr. Wentworth let the two have their moment and soon they were in the chairs set up across from him. He let Lucy look at the picture and watched her face change as she read the words. He had read it to her but seeing it made it more real for her, he guessed.
"Obviously," he said, "This is a problem. Like I told you over the phone, Mrs. Kinkirk, the school board is going to have a meeting about this. It's not over whether to admit Kalila back into school because she's pregnant. It's because of this poster. It has caused a lot of tumult within the school and parents are going to need action to be taken. When we find out who did this, they, most likely, will be expelled."
Lucy and Kay took a breath in together and the fact that it was the only thing they had done together in a while crossed Lucy's mind. It made her want to cry, but seeing as her daughter looked as if she were about to fall apart, she decided to hold strong a little longer. Tentatively, she reached over and took her daughter's hand. Shockingly enough, Kay let her take it and even clasped her hand in her mother's.
I guess she's glad I'm here with her, Lucy thought.
The trio talked for about an hour, in which they discussed possible plans for dealing with the students, the parents and the press, if need be. It was a quite town and any blip on the radar caught everyone's attention. They also talked about what Kay could do. Private schools were mentioned and to Kay, they sounded pretty good.
After the hour was over, Mr. Wentworth gave his best wishes to Kay and told her he would collect her things once the day was through. They both thanked him for his understanding and left. On their way out, Kay paused and looked back for a moment. She could no longer go to that school. She could no longer be in the play. She could no longer get a normal teenage life. And for that, Jake would pay dearly for.
Unfortunately for Kay, it didn't end there.
Once again, I tried to make it longer, but I watched Troy today and it's been on my mind ever since. I know I said it would be a 3 parter, but I deiced that it need at least one more. So, please review. I love getting them. And thanks to everyone who reads. You guys really make my day.
