Chapter 39
Darrell walked towards the Ely house. Jen had long since rode off towards River Bend.
"Hey Darrell" Dana said menacingly, or at least it sounded that way to him. "What a surprise? What brings you out here?" Dana said, her voice mocking him.
Darrell ignored her and turned to Adam.
"Is Jake home?" Darrell asked.
"Why do you need him?" Dana asked eyes narrowed, "I'd be happy to leave him a message." It was a threat and it sounded like one.
"Uh. No. He's not." Adam answered Darrell, the animosity between Dana and Darrell had not gone unnoticed.
"I said what did you want with him." Dana said through clenched teeth. She had worked to hard to get to where she was now for him and Jen to ruing it; if they didn't take her seriously she'd show them how big of a mistake that was.
Darrell ignored her again. The Ely brothers were gathering up, getting closer to watch this exchange of words.
"Is that hay in you hair?" Dana asked using her most innocent smile ever, "I didn't know you had a barn? I though you live in town. Which reminds me how did you get here? Its a long walk, and you brought no car." Dana asked innocently.
Darrell could see the faces of the Ely's, wondering as well.
"Yea, how did you get here?" Quinn asked seriously perplexed. Dana smiled victoriously.
"I was at Jen's. Samantha called her so she dropped me off here." Darrell lied smoothly. Dana glared.
"Did you make a quick detour at the barn?" Dana teased, her tone implying things. The Ely's again looked surprised.
"I mean that Jen girl looks easy with low standards but I doubt as low as you." The way she said this made everyone shudder, how can something so vindictive and rude sound so sweet and bubbly. It confused them.
"I may not be able to hit a girl but I know Jen wouldn't mind knocking you around after what you said." Darrell had had enough. Dana could do whatever the hell she wanted but she was not going to get away with this.
"You wouldn't hit a pregnant women would you?" Dana asked so innocently it made some of the Ely brothers shift to protect her. Hate her or not they had morals.
"From what I hear you ain't pregnant. And as far as women I'd say you are more of a snake." A certain female voice shimmed in.
Everyone froze.
"What!" Another familiar voice, this time a deeper huskier voice, exclaimed.
Dana felt her world crashing around her. She was panicking.
Dana was looking at an auburn haired girl sitting on a horse, to her right a blonde on another horse, smiling wickedly at her.
She turned to where the man's voice came from.
There he was, and he has heard what that b*tch had said. They all had.
"Excuse me?" Dana said appearing dumb founded.
"You heard me." Sam said getting off her horse. Jen did the same.
"I don't know what little delusions you are holding on too little girl but I am pregnant and Jake's the father!" Dana screeched.
"You look ridiculous you know that." Jen spat at her.
All the men stepped away. Everyone know when girls start fighting, don't get caught in the middle, you will get shot and it will hurt.
"You looked even more ridiculous throwing yourself at this low life in the Ely's barn." Dana spat right back. The guys looked at Darrell, Darrell said nothing.
"Well good thing I was because then I would never had over heard you telling your mom that you weren't pregnant and still couldn't GET pregnant because Jake over there refused to touch you let alone sleep with you." Jen said mockingly.
Jake shocked on his spit. Everyone else looked flabbergasted. This was getting ugly, quick.
"You are going to let her fight all your fights." Dana looked at Sam.
"No. This is her fight too. You threatened her and Darrell." Sam said matter of factly.
They were exposing her for what she was. Dana was giving them ammo. She stayed quiet.
"This stress isn't good for the baby." She feigned looking sick.
"I study acting. And you are a shitty actress." Sam said again non-chalantly. Dana glared at her.
This was getting uglier, but it was getting interesting. None of the guys made to stop this from unraveling, not even Jake.
"Samantha I am pregnant. You may be holding on to this delusion that if I'm not pregnant that means something but Jake is obviously believing me and that's for a reason you know." Dana said with the same tone Sam had used, implications dripping from her words.
Low blow.
"I'm not stupid enough to think you guys haven't had sex. Obviously for him to believe such a stupid lie you would have had too. But then again even if you were pregnant, can you prove its his?" Sam said, her smile was deadly.
"What are you implying?" Dana said eyes flaring.
"I'm not implying anything, I think your 'baby' is making you delusional." Samantha said with concern and innocence. Dana was taking aback, she was confused, didn't Sam not believe her about her pregnancy?
"See that's acting Dana." Sam said again, and laughed. She actually laughed at her.
Dana made for her throat but Jen's words stopped her.
"What about your baby?" Jen teased.
Dana glared.
What do I do? What do I do? She asked herself.
And with that Dana burst out crying.
The sobs made the boys come back to reality and make a move to stop this nasty catfight.
Sam turned and glared at them daring them too move. They stopped.
"Get up, you're making a fool of yourself." Sam said cold and heartless. Dana looked at her.
"If you really want to shut me up prove it to all of us." Sam finally said, throwing Dana a box.
Dana held the box. A pregnancy test.
"Where'd you get this from? You've had scares yourself." Dana said all pretense of innocent girl blown away.
"No, I'm not you. And that is also none of your business." Sam said voice calm.
"You are crazy if you think I'm going to disgrace myself to do this." Dana said and then turned to Jake, "And you, you coward, how dare you allow her to talk to me like that and make me go through this embarrassment in front of everybody. Are you going to make me go through this?" Dana said accusation and hurt in her eyes.
Before he could respond a car rolled in and out stepped Maxine Ely, Grace Forster, and a doctor from the hospital Gram volunteered at.
