She felt as if she had puked even what she had eaten a week before… when Sydney Reynolds realized the place she had gone to she felt as sick as she had ever felt. When the doctor that tended to her told her it was the right time to abort the baby and offered her several options. Sydney began to hyperventilate and ran out, she didn't know if she had run a block or a mile, it just happened, she knelt in a corner and began to puke. After that she began to walk back home, feeling the tears running down her face. As she walked in she was greeted by her grandmother.
-Hey noodle! I think your dad is making you mac and cheese with burger… your favorite.
With sad eyes she glared back
-I'm not hungry… thank you grandma…
After that she ran to her room and laid on her bed. She couldn't believe what she was close to doing. She screamed when Olive jumped through the window.
-STOP DOING THAT!
-I'm sorry… I know you're still not answering your phone so I had to
For any answer Sydney began to cry, Olive hugged her.
-I'm so scared Olive… and today I was about to do something really really stupid…
Olive was speechless and her face was even whiter than snow itself as she heard where Sydney had gone.
-I didn't know what it was… I swear…
The blonde girl hugged her.
-I know.. so... what are you really gonna do?
The brunette stood up and glared at herself in the mirror.
-I have to tell Dad and Grandma…
-But Syd
-I can't do this alone Olive… besides… I can't hide it forever…
The blonde hugged her as she sobbed silently.
-Olive… I need you with me when I tell them OK?
-A… a... are you… sure?
Later that night after barely eating at dinner and making sure Olive could stay the night he asked for all to follow her to the living room.
-Noodle what's going on? You have been acting weird for over a month now…
Olive held her hand, Max thought he had seen what was going on.
-Look Syd… things have changed a lot since my times… if Olive and you have feelings for each other… we will support you 100%...
-HUH? - Olive opened her eyes as big as she could and she literally crushed Sydney's hand with her
-OLIVE!
-what?
-my hand… and no… but I wish that was it… it would make things easier… - Sydney was in the verge of tears
-Then what is it, Syd?
The teenager closed her eyes
-I.. I did… I'm so sorry…
-Syd you're scaring me - Max said
-i'm… i'm… i'm pregnant… Dad I'm sorry…
Without saying a word Max got up and walked to his room
-DAD! DAD PLEASE! Dad…
Judy helped her up as she fell to her knees crying, the elder woman helped her back to the couch.
-so… who is it? - she asked severely
-huh?
-Sidney, who is the father of the baby?
-why would it matter…
-Sydney look at me, he's as responsible for this as much as you are and
-he abused me…
Judy felt her heart go down to her feet, Olive as paralized on her seat
-I'm calling the police right now
-Grandma wait… it was… my fault as much as it was his…
Judy held her granddaughter's hands in hers as she told her the whole story of how Tony abused her, at the end the brunette was crying her eyes out.
-Noodle, you're not going to go through this alone…
-That… that's not all…
As she heard her Judy felt her blood boil.
-SYDNEY WALLACE REYNOLDS WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!
-I swear I didn't know what it was… they just… they j… ust…
Olive was fast to catch her as she fell back
-SYDNEY! Sydney please wake up…
Judy helped her place the teenager on the couch
-It's OK, she shouldn't be stressing out this much in her condition - Judy said
Fifteen minutes later Sydney began to hear voices, at first they seemed far far away, she couldn't make out what they were saying, as seconds passed the voices became clearer…
-...you have to be here for her!
-I can't… not now at least
-GUYS SHE'S WAKING UP!
-what… happened…
Judy rushed to her
-Don't get up… the doctor will be here soon.
-But…
Olive took her hand
-Please, you scared me a lot, please do what Gramma J says, please?
-whe… where is Dad?
Olive just glared at Judy.
-He… he'll be here later noodle…
Later that night Sydney laid in her bed, unable to sleep, she just glared at Olive who was sound asleep in her sleeping bag beside her, there was no human power that could make the blond girl leave her side, she smiled, wished she could remain as innocent as her. She didn't realize when she fell asleep, she woke up when a certain effect of pregnancy kicked in, Olive screamed when she was awakened by a foot crushing her stomach.
-SYDNEY! Sydney?
She ran to the bathroom to help her friend.
-s.. Sorry Olive…
-It's OK…
But as they cleaned up and walked downstairs Max was on the phone.
-I see… are you sure there's no other way? Yes, I'll tell her…
-D…
-It was the principal, you were expelled from school. Way to go Sydney.
