One Tree Hill
You're kidding right?
I ran over to Nathan who looked to be starting trouble with Lucas. He was talking but I ran in and grabbed his arm.
"Memphis, give me a minute."
"No, Nathan it's important."
"What is it?" He said in an annoyed voice.
"Dad just called me he was freaking out he wants me home right now."
"Then go home."
He said turning back to his friends. I looked over at his basketball friends who were all smirking at me except for Lucas. I knew Nathan had been drinking otherwise he wouldn't act like that.
"You know what Nathan? I hate you when your drink!"
I hit the bottom of his cup and it went over his entire shirt. I ran out of the house and jumped into his car. I only have my permit but who cares? I rather get arrested then get my dad even madder. I drove home and when I walked in he was in the kitchen.
"What the hell is this?" He asked holding up a small circular container.
"Um...shouldn't you know what that is?" I asked.
"How long have you been on birth control?" He yelled.
"I just got it over the summer."
"Great my daughter is now the whore of Tree Hill. This is quite the accomplishment!"
"I'm not having sex dad it's just a precaution!"
"Does your brother know about this?"
"Why would I tell Nathan?"
"What about your new best friend Lucas does he know?"
"If I didn't tell you or Nathan I'm not going to tell Lucas. How did you even find them? Did you go through my room!" I asked getting extremely mad.
"I have a right to know what's going on under my own roof!"
"You're kidding right?"
"Get out of my sight you stupid slut!"
I grabbed my pills from the counter and ran up to my room. I locked the door then went over to the window. I opened it and crawled out onto the awning above our garage. Nathan showed me how to do this last year so I shimmied down the pole and ran to Karen's café.
"Uncle Keith."
I said softly when I walked in with tears pouring down my face. He turned around and when he got a good look at me he walked over and brought me into a giant hug. I started crying harder into his chest while he shushed me and stroked my hair.
"What happened, Memphis?" He asked when we settled into a booth.
"Dad went mental."
"Could you elaborate a little more?" He said trying to get me to laugh.
"I was at Nathan's party at the beach house; dad called and told me to get home immediately. When I got there he had my birth control pills and he started freaking out about how I was the slut of Tree Hill."
"Where was Nathan?"
"He stayed at the beach house…he was drinking."
"How did you get home?"
"I…drove."
"Memphis…alright does Dan know you're here?"
"No, I climbed out of the window."
He sighed and gave me a stern look, "Memphis, I have to call your dad."
"No! Uncle Keith please you can't do that he'll kill me!"
"Did you lock your bedroom door?"
"Yes…"
"Alright I'll drive you back and you can sneak back into the window before he notices a thing."
"Thank you so much Uncle Keith."
He smiled and led me out into his truck. As we were driving I looked over to him and I started to think he was mad at me.
"Uncle Keith, are you mad about the birth control pills?"
"No, I'm actually really happy you're being safe."
"Uncle Keith I'm still a virgin! I haven't done anything."
"Okay I believe you Memphis."
"Then how come you still look mad at me?"
"I'm not mad at you I'm mad at Dan because he handled that situation all wrong."
"Sometimes…I wish you were my dad instead of Dan."
Uncle Keith looked over at me and smiled proudly, "Sometimes…I wish that too."
When I crawled back into the window Nathan was lying on my bed passed out. He must have picked the lock he usually does that when I refuse to answer. I sighed and pulled the blanket over him then went into his room to crash.
The next morning dad had left really early for work so that was the highlight of my day so far. When I went downstairs Nathan was cooking pancakes.
"Wow you're cooking hell's temperature just dropped."
"Funny girl aren't you? Where were you last night?"
"Dad didn't tell you what happened?"
"No when I got home he was in his study with the door closed."
This in our house is code for knock on that door and you die. I sat at the counter and debated whether or not to tell him the truth or not. But I decided he would probably find out eventually.
"He found my birth control pills."
"You're having sex? With who I'll kill him!" Nate yelled almost dropping the pan.
"Calm down I'm still a virgin but dad on the other hand doesn't believe that."
"Then why do you have them?"
"Just in case, Nate."
"How did you get them?"
"I went to the clinic and after a lot of questions and an exam they gave them to me."
"Since when?"
"The beginning of the summer, Nate, dad went through my things meaning he probably went through yours too."
"I don't have anything to hide except some condoms but he gave those to me."
"Oh great he promotes sex to his son but call his daughter the whore of Tree Hill."
"He said that to you!"
"Yeah…"
"What did you do?"
"Well since my brother was drinking his body weight I snuck out and went to find Uncle Keith."
"Sorry about that…" He said placing a pancake on my plate, "You know how I am when I'm drinking…"
"Yeah, this is why you shouldn't even be drinking in the first place."
"You're one to talk Miss Birth Control."
I lowered my head and looked at my food. Nathan came over and grabbed me into a hug.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean that."
"It's alright…"
"What are you doing today do you want to hang out?"
He asked ruffling my hair which I tried to fix. Uh-oh, should I tell him about Luke? Ilooked up at him and gave him my most winning smile.
"Promise you won't get mad?"
"Okay…"
"Lucas invited me down to the River Court to play basketball with him and his friends."
"You're kidding right? You're so not going."
"Please Nathan! He's a really nice guy and I just want to have some fun for once."
"I'm going with you then."
"Why?"
"Because I'm your older brother and I'm not letting you hang out with this dude without me."
"Actually you're only the middle sibling but that's cool. I think you really just want to go because you want to get to know Lucas too."
"That'll be the day." He said rolling his eyes.
"I think today is that day." I smiled smugly at him and threw a piece of pancake in his hair.
A/N: Next chap takes place at the River Court and a big thanks to my one reviewer who is actually keeping me going oc-journey06
