Chapter 21: Growing Pains
Oliver's POV
"Oliver!" Dinah screamed from somewhere upstairs.
"Dinah!" I yelled back before running up the stairs to find her in Roy's room. "What is it?! What's wrong?!"
Her face was completely pale as she latched onto my arm. She took a deep breath before pointing at Roy's wardrobe and stating, "I was putting Roy's clothes away because he never does it himself… And I opened his underwear drawer and I… I found a box of condoms."
"Oh. Is that it?"
"Oliver!"
"Dinah, he's fifteen. Here I was thinking you were dying or something-"
"My sweet and innocent baby is not having sex! That is not happening!" she hissed as her nails started digging into my arm.
"Dinah, calm down. You're overreacting. Roy has never been sweet and innocent."
"Do you not understand what's happening!" she hissed.
"He's growing up?"
"No you dumbass! My Roy is being tempted by society's evils into losing his innocence… Oh my God, Ollie… If he knocks up some girl… Do you even know what will happen?"
"She'll get pregnant?" I asked.
"No! I'll be a grandmother! Do I look old enough to be a grandmother?"
"No?"
"Oliver!"
"Okay! Okay! I'll talk to him!"

Roy's POV
"Roy? Can I come in?" Ollie asked before he opened my bedroom door and entered anyway.
"Sure." I muttered as he closed the door behind him.
He sat down on the edge of my bed as I pushed my laptop over to the side. He tugged at his shirt collar and swallowed.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Roy… Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Oh shit! He knows about the weed!
"Ollie, I'm sorry! I swear it'll never happen again! I mean… It's not even mine! I was holding it for a friend! I totally learned my lesson! I'm sorry! I only did it once!" I began before breaking off as I noticed his confused expression.
"Roy, you can only use condoms once."
"Condoms?"
"I was talking about the condoms in your underwear drawer."
"So was I." I lied as he raised an eyebrow.
"Right… So… I never had the talk with you when you were younger but-"
Oh my God… This is finally happening.
"Ollie, it's okay! I get it! We don't have to do this!"
He paused to think it over before saying, "Alright then. Goodnight."
"Night."
About two minutes later I could hear Dinah yelling at him. Less than five minutes later he was back in my room.
"I think it'd be better if we had the talk."
I groaned as he sat back down on the edge of the bed.
"Women are like… horses-"
What the-
"Women can either be tame or wild. Some like to do be ridden. Some like to be free-"

Dinah's POV
"Did you talk to Roy?" I asked as Ollie laid down beside me in the bedroom.
"Oh yeah."
"How did it go?"
"I have a feeling that he'll be scarred for life."
