By the time friday had come, I had changed my dress for a tight waisted sky blue one that came just below my knees. It had a low neckline that showed just enough cleavage, and a few sequins sewn into the bottom. My mom had commented that the boys were all going to eat their hearts out with me in that dress. Baz had called last night and told me he got everything ready and would be at my house a little after 8. As for Opie, i haven't spoken to him and i avoid him in the halls at school. Prom was friday and graduation that monday, so i just kept reminding myself that i only had that long to deal with everyone then i could get away.
I was tempted to take the offer at John's-Hopkins just to get far away from everyone in Charming. Ever since everything happened between me, Ope, and Donna they were everywhere. Kissing, holding hands, laughing, and just being wrapped in each other, like we used to. It made me sick, and the reminder that i was pregnant with his child made me feel even worse. Also everyone looked at me with such pity after what happened and i hate that even more. I don't need anyone's pity.
Finally friday came and it was time to get ready for the dance. I put on my makeup, then my dress, and finally i did my hair in an elegant updo with curls framing both sides of my face. I put on a pair of silver spike heels, medium silver hoop earrings, a few rings, and a couple bangles on my right arm. Jax knocked on my door, not waiting for my answer before letting himself in.
"Wow. You look beautiful baby sister" he said. He was dressed in a classic black and white tux
"You don't look too bad yourself handsome" i joked
"Mom wants us to come downstairs for pictures"
I glanced at the clock that read 8:09 pm "Yeah. My date should be here soon"
As soon as i said that, the doorbell rang.
"Savannah you're date is here" my mother called up to me
"Or he's here now" i laughed "Coming!"
I walked downstairs to see Baz in a black tux with a light blue shirt underneath to match my dress. He had a corsage in his hand and was looking up at me as i descended the stairs with his mouth slightly open.
"Wow" he said breathlessly
"Wow yourself" i said back to him
Most of the club was in the living room looking at me in my dress. Tara was also there, wearing a black, floor length gown. And much to my dismay Opie and Donna were there too, gawking at Baz and i. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Baz
"Is that for me?" i asked pointing at the corsage
"Oh yeah sorry" he said putting it on me and placing the box on the table "You had me too stunned to even remember i had it"
I blushed "Thanks"
I went on my tip toes, since he was still a bit taller than me and kissed his cheek. My mom took this time to interrupt us
"Come on everyone, let's get a few pictures" she said
"Can you use this to take a few too? My mom asked me to" said Baz handing my mom a camera he took from his pocket. She agreed and we lined up for several pictures, Baz and i on the left, then Jax and Tara, then Opie and Donna. I guess they were smart enough to keep us apart.
Finally we were done taking pictures. My mom handed Baz back his camera, and i kissed her and my dad on the cheek before leaving.
"Have fun! Be careful!" yelled my mom
Jax, Tara, Ope, and Donna all climbed into a limo, while Baz walked up to a silver dodge charger and held the passenger door open for me
"You coming?" asked Jax
"Nah man. We got a ride" answered Baz. I shrugged my shoulders and waved bye to Jax before getting in the car. Once he saw that i was in, Baz shut the door and got in on the other side. He turned the car on and we were off.
SOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOA
The hall where the dance was was so amazingly beautiful. The lights were dimmed and a disco ball hung in the center of the ceiling, and silver stars and streamers hung all around. Baz and i walked in and looked around in awe.
"Damn. So this is what i missed out on huh?" he said looking at me with a smirk
"Oh yeah this, the king and queen thing, the dancing, and the sex in the bathrooms, limos, just outside or in hotels after" i replied sarcastically. He laughed and led me to an empty table on the far side of the room. I noticed Jax and everyone at another table on the complete opposite side of the room
"Nice seating choice" i said nodding my head in the direction of my brother
"What you want to sit with them?" he asked
"God no. I don't need them ruining the last fun thing i'll be doing for awhile."
"Why because of school?"
Shit. I never told him that i was pregnant.
"Well that and something else" i said trying to avoid the subject
"Something else like? Come on talk to me" he replied taking my hand in his
I took a deep breath "I'm pregnant"
His face paled for a moment. He cursed under his breath before leaning closer to me.
"Are you serious?" he asked. I nodded, tearing up. "Your ex's?" i nodded again
He put a hand on my cheek
"I'm so scared Barry." i told him, calling him by his full name "I have no idea what to do, i cant raise a baby by myself and go to school. I'll have to drop out. Oh my god i'm going to have to find a place to live. My parents won't let me stay there when they find out" i whispered yelled
"Hey hey calm down. You won't have to worry ok?" he said trying to calm me
"Why?"
"Because i'm going to help you" he said definitively
"What? How are you going to help me?"
"I'm going to help you raise the baby. You can stay with us and go to school, and Smurf and i will help take care of the kid."
I sat there in absolute shock "Are you serious?"
"Yeah. Smurf was in your position once, and she took me in so i owe it to her to help you, plus i just like you so it's what friends do."
"Oh my god! Oh my god thank you! Thank you, you're so amazing" i exclaimed, hugging him
"Don't thank me yet, we need to get you back first. What are you going to tell your parents?"
"Shit. I don't really know. I guess just that i'm going away to school"
He nodded his head, and his phone suddenly started ringing. He took it out of his pocket and looked at the screen before flipping it open
"Its Smurf. I'll be right back" he said walking away, talking into the phone.
Seeing that i was finally alone Jax decided he wanted to come over and talk
SOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOASOA
Baz P.O.V
"Yeah?" i asked
"How's it going" came the voice on the other end of the phone
"Fine."
"You sure about that baby?" asked Smurf
I sighed "We got a problem. She's pregnant."
"Is it yours?"
"Jesus Smurf no. But i offered to help her so she can go to school and stuff. It's a better way to keep her close"
"Good. Better than you actually getting to date her"
"Yeah keeps me and Cath together. And either way Craig's got a thing for her anyway so i'll leave it up to him"
Smurf scoffed "Yeah let's let Craig handle keeping her around"
"What's the big deal with her anyway? Why do you want her so close so badly?"
"Her family has power baby. And this girl is a force to be reckoned with. It would be good to have her on our side"
I sighed "So how do we get her out without having her family chasing her down? Because let's face it Smurf, they aren't going to just let her take off"
"Do they know your full name?" Smurf questioned
"Yeah i introduced myself as Barry Blackwell"
"Good. What we do is find out if she told her family about any of the Cody family. If not then we register her school under Cody not her last name so they can't track her down. We move her in and help her raise the kid. Get her on our side"
I looked through the windows on the doors. Savannah was with a few other girls all laughing and talking animatedly, i smiled softly thinking about how hard her life was about to become.
I hung up with Smurf and walked back into the gym to Savannah. I kissed her on the cheek which caused her to jump in surprise, but she smiled at me and threw her arms around my neck. The other girls whispered and giggled pointing at us.
"We'll finish talking later" i whispered to her. She pulled away and nodded at me. Then she turned her head to the side and her face fell, i turned and saw that her ex and her brother were both glaring at us. I returned the look and went back to Savannah, pulling her onto the dance floor with a grin. We spent most of the night dancing, laughing, taking pictures with my camera and just having fun. I wanted to give her a night she'd never forget.
A while later we were walking outside by a lake that Savannah had me drive out to. There was a bench that looked out on the whole lake and a gazebo a few yards away from it.
"Hey why don't you go into the gazebo, i'll take some pictures" i said pulling out my camera
"What?" she laughed
"Yeah come on, you look beautiful and it'll be a great way to remember tonight" she crossed her arms and gave me a look with her nose scrunched. I laughed "It'll be something to show the kid someday too"
She laughed and went into the gazebos opening. I took a few pictures and motioned for her to sit down. She sat and i turned so that we were fully facing each other
"Is this the part where you tell me you're in love with me?" she joked
I smiled "No i'll leave that to my brother" she cocked her head in confusion "Craig"
"Good. I like him and he's cute" she smirked
"Well we'll be all there soon enough. But we need to talk about that"
"Ok"
"Did you tell anyone in your family about any of us?" i asked
"No. They only know you" she answered
"Good. Because the way we're going to get you to SoCal is to lie on your school paperwork." she looked confused so i kept explaining "We both know your family will come looking for you if you take off. So we register you as Savannah Cody, that way they can't track you down and you can do what you need to do"
She nodded her head at what i was saying. Then she spoke "You know if i start a fight with my dad, they just won't come looking. I can tell them i'm going to John's-Hopkins, he'll be pissed but he won't come looking, at least not for a long time"
I stared at her, stunned "Are you sure you want to cause that rift? It may not heal"
"Whatever i have to do" she told me, her face full of determination
A/N: Ohh Smurf is up to something, but what? ;)
