Chapter 21
Rae walked into her house after school that day and went right up to her room. Het was close behind her. Rae sighed and dropped her binder on her desk before sitting down on her bed. She perked up for a second and then got down next to the bed. She reached under it and pulled out an ADIDAS shoebox. She sat back on her bed and opened it. Inside were pictures. Rae dug through the pictures and found the picture of her and John before one of his football games. She shook her head and lit cigarette. She stared hard at John's face and growled. Het watched Rae intently, wagging his tail. Rae looked at Het and sighed,
"What was I thinkin'?"
Het whined softly and walked over to lay down by the window. Rae took a drag off her cigarette and looked back down at the picture. She then glanced at her cigarette and sighed. She put the fire of her cigarette to her chest and burned a hole where her heart would be. She pulled her cigarette away and sighed heavily. She wiped a tear away from her cheek and put the picture back in the box. She closed it and put it back in its place under her bed. She curled up and hugged herself before dozing off.
Heather and Jeff were sitting in their room, doing their homework, when Heather broke the silence,
"Rae seemed really peeved with AJ and John talking."
Jeff nodded in agreement and just looked at Heather. Heather sighed and shook her head,
"I don't blame her. Yeah, AJ seems nice and all, but she knows that John cheated on Rae."
Jeff dropped his pencil onto his binder and looked at Heather as he listened. Heather got up from the bed and paced her bedroom,
"I don't like seeing Rae like this. I'm worried about her."
Jeff got up and hugged Heather,
"Don't worry about Rae. She's a tough one, and will be okay."
Heather sighed heavily and hugged Jeff back. She hoped he was right, but she knew how much Rae had cared for John. She didn't want to see Rae slip into anything.
Dave and Randy were walking around Shenk & Tittle at the mall, checking out different sports gear and equipment. Dave looked at Randy as Randy was looking at some jerseys,
"Rae seemed really pissed that AJ and John might have a thing starting."
Randy nodded,
"I don't blame her."
Dave sighed heavily and looked at a couple hats,
"I don't either, but I wish she'd move on."
Randy stopped and looked at Dave,
"Rae'll move on. It'll take her some time to get over it. You know she cared about John, and what he did to her was fucked up. It would hurt anyone."
Dave sighed and nodded slowly,
"Yeah, I guess."
Randy looked at Dave confused,
"What's wrong man?"
Dave shook his head,
"Nothing."
With that, he walked out of the store. Randy watched him, confused. Something was really bugging Dave, and Randy couldn't put his finger on it. He and Dave had been friends for a long time, and he wanted Dave to tell him what was going on. He shook his head and followed him out of the store.
Amanda walked into Rae's room and saw her sleeping on the bed. She sat down on the edge of the bed and shook Rae's shoulder. Rae grabbed Amanda's wrist and her eyes snapped open. Amanda smirked,
"It's only me."
Rae released Amanda and sat up,
"What are you doin' here," she asked through a yawn. Amanda sighed heavily,
"I was worried about you."
Rae sighed and looked down at her bed,
"I'm alright."
Amanda looked at Rae, unconvinced,
"C'mon Rae, talk to me."
Rae sighed,
"I think I got into another relationship too soon. I'm still hurtin from what John did, and Dave doesn't deserve to have some girlfriend who misses her last boyfriend."
"You miss John?"
Rae nodded slowly,
"Well, yeah. He was always really great with me. I was floored when I found out he cheated on me."
Amanda nodded,
"Well, yeah. Everyone was."
Rae looked up at Amanda,
"I really cared about him, hell I still do, and I shouldn't put Dave through this."
Amanda smiled at Rae,
"You love Dave."
Rae nodded slowly,
"Yeah, I do."
"Look, you're with Dave now. You should be happier than hell. Dave loves you; anyone can see that. He doesn't like to see you hurting. None of us do. You need to get over John and be happy with Dave."
Rae nodded in understanding,
"Yeah, I know that, but Amanda..."
Amanda looked at Rae confused,
"What?"
Rae swallowed hard and sighed,
"I'm pregnant."
Amanda's jaw dropped and she stared at Rae in shock.
Author's Note: HOT DAMN! I liked that ending. Yeah, this chapter is kinda short, but OH WELL! ::grin:: As always, you'll deal with it. REVIEW for my sanity! WOOHOO! I'm pregnant... ::faints::
