Chapter 4: Thoughts

Rebecca ran through the Residence and up to her room, paying no attention to her flustered father who was trying to talk to her. When she reached her sanctuary, she slammed the door shut and locked it. Now was not the time for petty arguments with her parents, she was too busy thinking. She threw her bag on the floor and flopped on the bed. Thoughts were spinning through her head. "Was that scene related to her experience with Mike? If it was, how did they know? And even worse, who else knew?"

She needed to talk to Mike. Picking up her phone, she dialed one on her speed dial and then talk. Her hands shook as the phone rang. After it rang for what seemed like days to Becca, the answering machine picked up. "Hey Mike. I really need to talk to you about something important. Its urgent, so call me back as soon as you can." She paused for a few moments before murmering into the reciever, " I love you."

As she shoved her phone deep in her pocket, she unlocked her door and began to quickly stride down the hallway. Her thoughts again began to deepen as she exited the Residence and walked out onto the lawn. She soon found a nice, soft pad of grass and layed down. It hurt her to even consider that Mike would leak that they had done it. Her mind would not stray from the idea though. It hurt inside to consider it, but she just couldn't stop. Tears rolled down her face as she thought about how horrible the next would be.

Looking at her watch, she decided it was time to head back inside. She walked inside and put on a happy face. Entering the living room, she saw a sight that would change her life forever.
