Chapter 25

I was sitting in the doctor's room, waiting as she took blood from my arm, soon she was finished and handed me a piece of cotton to cover the wound.
"Okay, I will send this off and check the results." She told me and I nodded.
"How long do you think before I can get it?" I asked and she sighed.
"If you are really that worried, I can push it and see if they can get it back to me by tonight?" she suggested and I nodded.
"Yes, please. I really need to know." I whispered and she nodded as she wrote out something on the bottle.
"Okay, I will phone you when I get the results. All I can tell you is, take it easy for a while." She informed me and I nodded as I stood up.
"Thanks Dr. Alison." I told her and she nodded as I exited the office and sighed as I rested against the wall, hoping to god that I was wrong.
Max
Here I am again, sitting here on the couch waiting for my sisters and girlfriend to get a move on so we could go to the carnival. How long can a girl take to get ready for a carnival, it's not like we're going to a dance or anything like that.
"Hey." I heard a female voice stated, I looked up and smiled when I saw Liz standing there in her knee length demin jeans and a white off the shoulder top and knee high, high heeled black boots.
"Hey, is Tammy ready?" I asked and she nodded as she walked over to me and sat down next to me.
"Yeah, she just on the phone to Maria, apparently Maria is having a dressing crisis and she wants Tammy's help." She told me as she rested her head on my shoulder and I smiled as I rested my head on her head.
"It's been ages since we went to a carnival hasn't it?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yeah, the last time we went was about three years ago." She informed me. Three years ago before Tammy started acting weird more like.
"Well, better make sure everyone has a good time tonight." I told her and she smiled up at me before kissing me gently. I could sense that something in her had changed since the night we made love, which was a month ago, like she knew something that she wasn't telling me.
I pulled away and looked at her, she looked up at me, puzzled.
"What?" she asked and I sighed.
"You don't regret the prom night do you?" I asked and she smiled as she kissed me once more.
"Does it look like I regret the prom night? Or the other two times we made love after that?" She teased and I laughed slightly. We hadn't really had the chance to get alone; there was our work and the fact that our parents seemed to be home each time.
"No, but you do seem a little distanced." I observed and she nodded.
"I know, I just have a lot on my mind at the moment. I'll tell you when I'm ready, I promise you." She whispered as she looked into my eyes and I nodded, I kissed her forehead as she rested her head on my shoulder once more. I still couldn't help but think that when she would tell me, it was going to change my life.

"How about the coaster?" Michael asked and we all headed over to it, we all got strapped into it and I looked at the loop. We had finally made it to the Carnival after Max pushing Isabel and Tammy into finishing getting ready and practically carried us all out to the jeep.
"I hope Maria has gone blind at the moment." I told Max and Maria turned to me.
"Why?" she asked and I smirked.
"Only there is a loop, as in a upside down loop." I told her, as the coaster started moving, she turned right round to the front and started screaming.
Soon the ride came to a stop and we all got off, Max had to hold me up cause I was laughing too hard at Maria's furious expression as she turned on to Michael.
"You know that I hate loops!" she shouted at him, he rolled his eyes as he started to walk on but Maria wasn't letting him get that far without an ear bashing.
"Jeez, the girl has a set of lungs doesn't she?" Tammy asked as she and Jake came up, arms wrapped round the other's waists. "I would be surprise if they haven't heard her in the North Pole." She muttered and I laughed.
"I have to agree with you there, why didn't she look before going on the coaster?" I asked as we all walked over to the amusement arcade area where you could win toys and such.
"Want to play a game?" Max asked and I nodded.
"Sure." I told him and he led me over to the games area, he soon found a basketball game and I smiled as he handed over the money to get the balls and shot hoops after hoop leaving me shaking my head as he handed me a stuffed puppy. "Aw, thank you." I told him as I kissed his cheek and cuddled the puppy close to my heart.
"You know, a guy could get jealous." He told me and I smiled as I looked up and kissed him on the lips.
"Don't worry, you have nothing to be jealous off." I told him and smiled. "He is going to be sleeping with me tonight." I told him before walking off, smirking.
"Hey, that's not fair you know." He whined as he followed me, I laughed as I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him hard.
"Don't worry too much about it, you're the only one who can keep me nice and hot in bed." I whispered huskily into his mouth, he groaned as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me further into his body so I could feel his erection pressing up against me.
"You know, you really shouldn't tease me with words like that." He whispered; I smirked as I kissed him once more.
"Guys!" we heard a female voice interrupt, we turned to see that Tammy had her hand over Maria's mouth while Isabel had covered her eyes and Tess was smirking, amused.
"God Maria, do you need to broadcast it?" Tammy demanded.
"What did you expect? They are making out in a family environment!" Maria mumbled out and Tammy rolled her eyes.
"Not like you weren't doing the same in the house of mirrors." Tammy muttered as she pulled her hand away and Maria to blush with Michael groaned.
"The house of mirrors?" I asked, arching an eyebrow before smirking. "Oh Maria, I never realised that you were that kinky." I told her causing Tammy to snicker and Maria to open and close her mouth, speechless.
All of a sudden, there was a flash of light and we turned to see Alex holding the camera.
"Finally, got it on film, Maria Isabella Deluca, speechless." Alex stated with a triumph expression covering his face and the rest of us to laugh while Maria shook her head at Alex.
What are our friends like huh?
Tammy
"I think I'm going to kill myself." I muttered and I heard Liz laugh before turning to face her. "It's not funny! Either I'm going to kill myself or I'm gonna have a heart attack." I told her and she smiled.
"What did you expect when you made us all go to the carnival?" she asked and I sighed.
"I didn't expect to be baby sitting." I told here and she smiled as she wrapped an arm around my waist and bumped hips with me.
"Could be worse." She told me and I looked at her.
"How on earth could it be worse?" I demanded.
"We could be at an amusement park where you are bound to get lost." She informed and I winced.
"Oh yeah." I stated, remembering the times when we all went to amusement parks, I swore I thought my mom was going to get us all leashes to hold on to us.
"Let hope we never have to go through that again." I told her and she laughed in agreement.
"At least we had a good time." She stated and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and smiled as we headed over to the exit.
"Yeah, you're right. You even cheered up a little." I told her and she looked at me and I rolled my eyes. "I'm not blind sweetie, I have noticed that you seem a little distance." I told her and smiled up at me.
"Just have things on my mind, I will tell you when I'm ready, I promise." She told me and I nodded, I knew it had nothing to do with her parents so it was something else but I just couldn't help but feel that she wasn't going to get the chance to tell me what she had been thinking about.

I arrived home, my parents were in the living room and I managed to sneak up the stairs to my room, when I entered my room, the phone was ringing and I sighed, wondering who would be calling at this time of the night.
I picked up the phone.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Is Miss Parker there?" a female voice asked.
"This is she." I replied.
"It's doctor Alison, I wanted to tell you that I got your results back and it's positive." She replied; I felt my body clench.
"Are you sure?" I asked, just wanting to double check.
"Yes, I'm sure, so if you could phone the receptionist and make an appointment." She explained and I nodded.
"Sure." I told her before hanging up the phone in a stunned shock, how was the hell was I going to tell Max?
I, unsteadily, got off the floor and made my way down the stairs, I grabbed my jacket and was about to walk toward the door when my parents stepped out of the living room. "I'm going to the Evans' house." I told them as I made my way but my mother's hand on my arm stopped me, she spun me around and I saw wild rage in her eyes
"YOU SELFISH BITCH!" My mother screamed as she slapped me across the face, it was harder than she ever did and I realised that she was no longer caring where the bruises were going to show and if anyone get to see it.
"We didn't bring you up so you could go and whore about you slut!" My dad snapped as he punched me in the stomach, I gasped as I felt blood trickling before blacking out.
I woke up, I felt a little hazy about where I am but I realised that I had to get to Tammy's house as soon as possible otherwise things were going to get a lot worse. I groan slightly as I pushed myself off the floor, I looked back where I was lying and saw a pool of blood and I felt some of the blood rushing to my head, making me dizzy. I was going to black out if I didn't leave right now.
I made my way out of the house and tripped slightly, I felt pain shooting up leg as I clutched my shirt together, it had been torn open, I felt like every part of me was either bruised or burning from a cut and it probably is. I managed to get myself back up and slip through the back alleys, I sent up a prayer of thanks that the Evan's house lived near mine so I didn't have to worry too much if I wasn't going to make it.
I looked up and saw that I had reached the Evans house. I stumble down the Evans' pathway and I hoped to god that Tammy was there; I need her to help me.
I slipped up but I placed a hand on Max's jeep to keep me up right, what I didn't know that I left a bloody handprint on the metal. I managed to reach the door; I leaned heavily on it, hoping that I wouldn't pass out from the intense pain. I banged on the door before ringing the doorbell.
I heard footsteps heading toward the door and the door opened, the last thing I knew; my whole world went black.

Okay, now you can panic.
And no throwing any knifes and such don't want to harm anyone. Rotten fruits and books are fine.
