Chapter: 6

Nightfall2525: I wouldn't dream of it... it wouldn't go with the follow through of my story if I had ended it a chapter 5, remember we don't like Aki. So enjoy.

Her eyes fluttered opened and her hands searched for that solid figure that should've been next to her that waking hour. She sat up, frantic when she felt nothing at her side. "Aki!" she pulled back the covers and grabbed her scattered clothes and dressed. She sat on the edge of her bed and found written on her white and pink stationery paper something Aki wrote to her:

I'm sorry Téa. I didn't mean to fall away from you, things happen. I have commitment issues, all you had to do was not say 'I love you' it's too late. Don't cry because it's over... smile because it happened. She crumpled the letter as tears of frustration and regret and hurt washed over her body and soul. She felt used and dirty and the worst part was... she was the one who gave her self up freely, he had demanded nothing of her and she thought the best way to keep him was what they did last night. Suddenly she screamed and she got up and she began to trash her own room. She pulled down those white curtains she had loved because they were the curtains she held when she waved good-bye to him. Her room was in scatters when her mother and father rushed in and found their seventeen-year-old daughter collapsed on the floor shedding tears in misery. Her breathing increased and she was wailing, holding her sides. "Why! Why!" that was all she repeated. Her father grabbed his daughter up in his arms and carried her out of the room; her mother looked around and shook her head. Téa had had such a nice room and now it was destroyed by some fit of rage that had welled in her daughter and no one knew why.

Téa slept in the guest room while repairs were made to her room and Téa had missed so far several weeks of school. She refused to see anyone but they kept coming over and giving and receive her homework from school. But today was different. Today she was in complete disarray and Yugi actually gained access inside her room. "Who let you in?"

"Your dad. Téa, what's going on? You trash your room, your missing school?"

"Aki broke up with me."

"Téa..."

"Don't, don't you come round here and tell me 'I told you so'! I couldn't bear it Yugi! Not now!" she said, completely upset.

"I was going to say sorry." Téa shook her head and shrugged.

"Not your fault. Yugi, I have to tell someone, I need to tell someone right now."

"What?"

"Nothing. Never mind. I guess I should tell my parents."

"Téa! Talk to me!"

"No! I told you no. Please, go away." He nodded and hugged her. This comfort she desperately needed at this moment. She hugged him tightly before letting her hands slip back to her sides. "Thank you for being my friend Yugi." He smiled and departed. When he was gone from her room Téa burst into tears. She was pregnant that was the news she had to share, the horrible, ultimate secret of her life. She covered her face with her hands tears spilling down her cheeks and into her hands. She didn't know what to do. She pushed the covers and got to her feet. She felt weak, her body having trouble supporting her weight. She had been in bed for a while. She grabbed hold of the desk, knocking over a blue vase. She cursed and bent down; she began to pick up the broken pieces. She placed them in the fold of the blanket and dragged it over to the trash. She got back on her feet and walked slowly over to the door, pulling it opening. She held onto the wall and walked over to the stairs. She grabbed the railing and walked cautiously down the stairs. She turned down and stopped when she heard her parents voice.

"I don't know what's wrong with her. She just snapped. Maybe we should send her to some kind of ward."

"No! She's our daughter. You can't just send her off because she had a bad trip. She'll be back in school in no time." That was when Téa decided to step into the kitchen. She looked at her defending father and her mother, all but ready to send Téa off to some crazy place. She looked at them and they at her. "Téa, you're up." She nodded, russet locks brushing across her face. She walked over and pulled out a chair. Sitting. Her father poured her some warm tea and she lifted the cup, taking a small drink.

"I have something to tell the both of you." Téa said, looking up from the cup of warm liquid. They looked at her with uneasy patients. Her mother crossed her arms across her chest and stared at her daughter. This was harder than she thought. I'm pregnant. What was so hard about that? Easier said than done, she supposed. Her foot began to tap against the cold floor. Tears were pooling in her arms and her father noticed. He reached his hand out and pressed it against her slender arm. He scooted closer in the chair and stroked her hair.

"What is it, Téa? What's wrong?" she gasped and a few tears slid down from her eyes.

"Mom, papa... I'm---"

"What, Téa! Just tell us!" her mother snapped, the impatience's had grown in her and she didn't like her daughter struggling on her words. Téa looked up at her mother, more tears falling down like an icy stream. She drew in a breath and placed her hands on her stomach. She opened her quivering lips and she shut her eyes tight.

"I'm... I'm pre---I'm pregnant!" Téa blurted. A breaking string held on her mother's outrage. She rose to her feet and lunged at her daughter. Téa cried out as she felt two strong arms wrap around her shoulders and push her back. Her mother had her by the head; her father was the one who had her in his protective embrace. He pried his wife off their daughter and held her in his arms as Téa was sprawled on the kitchen floor, holding her shoulders and crying frantically.

"Pregnant! Get out of my house you whore! How dare you ruin your life, like that! Get out! Get out!" Mrs. Gardner struggled against her husband, trying to push him away. Téa quickly got to her feet; screaming out her tears as she went running from the kitchen and up the stairs, back to the guest room. She grabbed a bag and began throwing clothes in it. She grabbed her skin jeans and pulled them on. She wiped her face as her mother screamed down stairs. Téa pulled on her black hooded sweatshirt and brushed her hair out of her face and pulled it into a simple ponytail. She lifted the bag and ran out the front door. "Don't come back! You think you're old enough to get pregnant then get yourself out of this!" she threw a breakable item against the door as Téa slammed it shut.

She ran all the way to the corner of her street before she stopped. Where was she going to go?
