If your looking for Trouble...
Shelly gulped looking at her feet, Eric looked around at the faces of their families. His dad was purely mad, as was Shelly's, both moms looked ready to strangle their husbands, and both siblings looked as if they swallowed a lemon. She took his hands nervously, as she proded at the carpet in the living room. Her mom swallowed then looked at them " are you sure...I mean both of you, your not even twenty yet. How can you decide your future.." " well..Mom I love Eric..and I know I want to be with him forever and nothing can change that" she said quietly, as her father's rage had reached boiling. Eric stroked her hand with his thumb, His mom looked over at Shelly's " I agree but if they are doing this and their sure then we should support them as their parents, but I have to agree with you Mrs. Webster." Shelly's mom interupted " please called me Diane." his mom nodded "well Diane, I think that, if they really love each other, we should let them, but I think they should get married AFTER SCHOOL" she said emphasising her last few words. Diane nodded, and looked at her husband who was glaring evilly at Eric, his father looking at her's. "It's clear on one thing" Eric's dad said through gritted teeth " YOUR FLOOSY OF A DAUGHTER CORRUPTED MY SON!" Shelly's dad stood up " YOUR ROCK AND ROLL HEADED SON CORRUPTED MY INNOCENT DAUGHTER WITH HIS IDEALS!" he yelled spit flying, Shelly lowered her head and whispered to Eric, " and I thought this couldn't get any worse" she said with sarcasm. Eric rolled his eyes, she suddenly got an idea and pulled his jacket and kissed him deeply, their dad's eyes went wide, she felt Eric's arms wrap around her as he kissed her back, the room went dead silent, Diane cleared her throat and shelly pulled away blushing. Eric cleared his throating sitting up a little more, Chris scowled " slut" he scowled, Shelly looked at him " better a slut then a junkie" she hissed, Eric grabbed her arm gently but firmly, and shook his head, she nodded and pursed her lips together tightly. Eric nodded and kissed her temple, she scowled glaring daggers at Chris. Chris smirked triumphantly, Diane looked at Eric's mom with a smile " I have an idea, what if they have a trial live in together period, so they can see what married life is like" she asked the parents, His mom nodded " sounds like a wonderful idea, what do you two think?" Shelly grinned happily looking up at Eric who was grinning and held her hand tightly. " now where would you two stay and for how long.." it was clear the mothers had control of the situation while both dads were glaring at each other and their children. Shelly looked at Eric " this is it..we can do this baby, we can do this finally, without sneaking around, or hiding or or.." Eric nodded and kissed her lips " we can we can finally be on our own" he whispered as their mom's were planning out, there was an apartment for rent close to both homes, and they would pay the rent for the rest of the school year, as long as Eric and Shelly stayed in school and got after school jobs...
Two weeks later they moved into the apartment, with some old furniture, such as a hand-me-down couch, an old double bed in Eric's families garage, the old kitchen table, and a few chairs, Shelly was all smiles as she helped Eric move in furniture, he sat down exhausted, she went and brought him something to drink, he looked around " I keep thinking, come on wake up, wake up, this isn't real, it's to good to be real" he said looking at her " to have your smiling face, and just to have you so close to touch without being driven off by your sister or my father, it just seems unreal" he said softly stroking her cheek, pulling her down for a kiss. " it's real baby, all of it" she said softly, " we have our own room, our own stuff and some day soon we'll get married, and everything will be perfect, and nothing bad can happen, and nothing bad will happen"she said softly sitting down beside him now, sliding down so her head was resting on his lap.
It was Monday, time for school, it was their last year, and last month. Shelly woke up from the buzz of their alarm clock, and poked Eric in the side and said teasingly " one bathroom, and I take forever" she whispered, his eyes popped open as he grabbed her playfully and shoved her back on the bed, she got up and ran to the washroom down the hall of their small apartment, bare feet clopping on the wood, it was in the basement, so they didn't have to worry about being loud. She laughed as she got to the door only to be pushed aside, she scowled playfully as Eric shut the door. He laughed and opened it quickly " I win" he said sticking out his tongue. " for now" she said tauntingly and went to her room, and found her clothing in the bags, as they weren't completely unpacked yet. She pulled out stuff and went back to the bathroom and waited, Eric came out and kissed her gently " all yours" he said with a smile, she went in and did her makeup, hair, and got dressed and went out, and quickly made a lunch for them with the few groceries they had, she smiled and plopped it on the table, and made sure she had all her school stuff in her backpack "come on handsome lets go" she said putting her boots on. "Coming coming" he said tying his hair back, then slipped on his runners and followed her out " how can women wear heels like that?" he asked looking at her with a weirded out look, she shrugged, " same reason why men can wear the same jeans all week" she awnsered "no one notices?" asked teasingly, she stuck her tongue out " close but nope, it's cause it's expected and no one cares." he shrugged "good enough I guess". The walk to school was uneventful, Shelly took his hand and both of them would randomly burst into their favoured songs by the Ramones. They reached the brick building, before first bell, and seperated to go to their lockers " see you second period lover" she whispered kissing his cheek, she had vocal the same time he had guitar class, and today was the two classes collaboration project. He nodded and went off with his minnions and she with hers. In english they were doing a Romeo and Juliette reading, she was stuck being Juliette for this scene, she took a deep breath trying not to make a weird face "
My
only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and
known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
That I
must love a loathed enemy.
The teacher nodded, satisfied, " now can anyone tell me why Juliet is emotional in this scene, Shelly sat down, and glared at the desk, " Shelly, why do you think" Shelly sighed and kicked her desk some " because of the family differences, because she was in love with him, but she's overacting about a name, a name doesn't create a person, but the character Juliet was made to think that, thus it is an act of rebellion to love Romeo" she grumbled, casting her eyes down. The bell rang just in time, she rushed to her second class, some chick was flirting big time with Eric, she scowled and sat down, this wasn't her morning, Eric pushed the girl away and sat beside Shelly "you ready" he asked with a smile. She nodded trying not to become any more nervous then she was, and sighed closing her eyes. Eric was tuning his guitar, she just listened as he plucked random strings, trying to get it to sound right, the first few groups went up, the bell rang for lunch before they went, she sighed happily, she hated singing infront of people like that. She slid in one of the benches with Eric right beside her, the memebers of his band Hangman's joke beside them, everyone joking and laughing, Shelly grinning from ear to ear, discussions let to sick-mindedness, which led to sexual jokes, Shelly was red from embarassement and laughter, Jake grabbed a banana out of his lunch and looked at Shelly, she went red and started to laugh, Eric looked at them confused " Grade nine sexed" she explained " we had to put a condom on the banana, except well..." Jake laughed " Shelly got really flustered and bruised the banana, Shelly stuck her tongue out at him " at least I got mine on right" she said teasingly, the group laughed as Jake went red. Eric patted him on the back, and looked at Shelly with a smirk, she gave him the same look, " forget it lover boy" he gave her the puppy look, she let out a squeaky groan type noise covering her face " doesn't work if I can't see it" she said grinning. " heh. I win" was all he said, Mike looked at them " so whose winning in total of today?" Shelly took her hands down and pointed her thumb at Eric " him, two to one".
