Chapter Four: Haven't You People Ever Heard Of Closing The Goddamn Door?
--Panic! At The Disco
At four thirty Ashley got off of work. She stepped out into the sunlight and walked toward the subway. She had gotten off early so she could sort things out with Craig. She had gotten off two hours early. She walked to the subway station and hoped on hers.
She got off on St. Burts street and only had a little way to walk until her and Craig's apartment. She had cooled down and was ready to apologize. She walked up to the "normal" ground as she called it and started walking down the street.
She got to the complex, went to her floor and put in her key. Apparently no one had heard her come in. She walked over to the bedroom and there it was. The door slung open and Craig was screwing that Veronica girl. They were talking and making sounds. Ashley chimed in angrily, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?" She slammed the door and walked back into the living room. She grabbed a suitcase and Craig was right behind her.
"Ashley, baby, honey, were are you going? It was a mistake. You weren't supposed to be home for a few hours." He said in his boxer shorts.
"And that makes it okay? You weren't supposed to want to cheat on me Craig! I gave everything to you! Everything!" Ashley said throwing clothing into the suitcase. Craig threw the clothes back out. "Just stay here and we will sort this out." He said very calmly. To calmly. "Stop, Craig. Just stop." She said collapsing on the ground. He always did this. She couldn't take it. They had it so good and then he ruins it. Just then Veronica comes out with a sheet rapped around her. "So, this is the girlfriend?" She asked. Craig nods. "You could do so much better." She said obviously meaning her.
"Just get out!" Craig said pointing to the door. She grabbed her clothes and started getting dressed.
"The press are going tot have a field day." She said lacing up her high heels and zipping up her jeans.
"You wouldn't tell. If you did not only would my reputation be ruined but so would yours. They'd think you were a slut. Now please, just leave."
"Whatever! Bye!" She said heading out the door and making it dramatically slam be hind her. Of course.
"Of course. The day I want to tell you the most important thing ever she's here." Ashley said wiping the tears from her eyes.
"What were you going to tell me?" Craig said wiping tears away form Ashley's eyes. She let him to instead of slapping him.
"Craig, I'm late. Really late." Ashley said more tears forming in the corners of her little eyes. She wiped them away.
"Have you taken a test?" He asked. Ashley shook her head. She wanted him to know before taking a test.
"We have to go to the doctor then." Craig said hugging Ashley tightly. "It must have happened. The bathroom. I didn't have anything. How could I be so stupid!" He said beating himself up mentally.
"I don't know. Craig, I'm worried. What would happen? I'm only twenty Craig! I'm not ready to have baby!" Ashley said crying into Craig's shoulder.
"It's okay. We're going to be okay." Craig said hugging Ashley tightly to him. What would happen? Would his career go down the drain?
