All right, this is sad that no one reviewed my last chapter. I really believe that if no one will review, that it wouldn't be worth it to post the other chapters. I really hoped that people would like this new story. I ask, and beg, of you to tell me what you think. Not many people are even hitting this story. Is it that bad? I need to know. Well, here's that next chapter, and possibly the last, if I get no feedback.


Chapter 4

Carrie waved good-by to Jake and opened her car door. Getting in, she started the car and headed back home. She could just hit herself. Here was the perfect time to tell Jake how she really felt, and she blew it. She sighed.

Maybe next time, she thought hopefully.

She drove out of Ben & Jerry's and headed home. There wasn't much to do but read, listen to music, or get on the computer, so personally she wasn't all to excited about heading home.

When her house came into site, she parked her car and headed to the door. She noticed that her mother's care wasn't there, so she was relieved to find a note taped to the door.

Went to doctor's appointment, be back in and hour, It said.

Doctor's? She didn't tell me about any doctor appointmen, Carrie thought a little worried.

That anxiousness soon passed, though. Stuff like this seemed to happen a lot in her household. In fact, she could remember being left at school in first grade for 45 minutes because her father thought her mother was going to pick her up, and her mother thought her father was to pick her up. She laughed remembering that incident.

Carrie then unlocked the door, and began to look around as she tried to find some source of amusement to pass the hour by.


"Kim Pop?" Helen's grandmother asked at the dining room table that was filled with multitudes of oriental foods. She was used to eating things like this, thought, and she actually loved to eat it.

"Ne." She replied, saying yes to the offer of Kim Pop.

The plate of Kim Pop was passed around and she took a few for herself.

The meal lasted for about 30 minutes and when Helen was stuffed, she excused herself from the table, making her way to the room she would be staying in. It was a very comfortable and warm room. Very inviting to her. She sprawled herself over the bed and laid there for a few minutes. Than, still bored, she took out her mp3 player and listened to it. It was time now to actually unpack, and so she decided that it would be more interesting if she listened to the music at the same time.

She took out her clothes and placed them in the drawers nicely. It was then she revealed the pants. Gently taking them she decided to place them on the top shelf of the closet. A special place. When she did so she noticed a photo album in the corner. She loved looking through photo albums and so she found no harm in deciding to look through it. She took it down and laid it out on her bed. Opening it she examined the pictures. The pictures were mostly of her relatives her smiling at different places. There were a few wedding pictures too. The thing that stuck her the most interesting though was a picture of her with two adults. They were strangers to her. She had never seen them before and she just knew that the little girl, about three was her. She just knew it. Why was she with these adults who clearly were not her parents? Who were they…friends? They just had to be. Helen just shook her head and decided she would bring up the picture later. Closing the album she went back to packing but still with many questions running through her mind.


Alexis couldn't stop thinking about Brad. He seemed so handsome and kind to her when she was knocked over with a volleyball…unfortunately. Well, she couldn't have helped that. After the incident, Brad talked with her a little, and she got some information about him. He was 17, a year older than herself, he was from Alabama, and had one little brother. Though they were insignificant details, sort of, she found herself becoming head over heels for Brad. She just had to find more about him.

"Alexis, you ready to get our schedules? They have them out now." Mandy said.

Alexis was too busy daydreaming to notice that Mandy was talking to her.

"Alexis! Earth to Alexis!" Mandy exclaimed waving her hand in front of Alexis's eyes. That seemed to get her attention.

"Huh? What!"

"Are you ready to go and get our schedules?" Mandy asked again.

"Uh, yeah. Let's go."

They did and waited in a pretty long line for them. Alexis was still daydreaming when this other girl bumped into them.

"Excuse me, but you don't mind if I cut…do you? Oh, of course you don't." She laughed and took a place in front of Alexis. This brought her out of her daze and made her furious. She did not need to be talked to like that. Mandy could see her face getting red and attempted to calm her down.

"Alexis, Calm down. I hear that's Erica."

"Who cares if I know her name." Alexis whispered back.

"No, I hear that she's like the bully of this camp. She came last year and sent some girls home crying."

"Well, I'd like to see her cry her way home this year! Who does she think she is to just cut in front of me like that? It's just SO rude!"

She would have done something drastic, but thankfully Brad arrived and calmed her down from her temper.

"Hey, waiting in line?" he asked

Alexis immediately smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Did you get your schedule yet?"

"Oh, yeah I did. Got sports."

Alexis nodded.

"Well, I guess I'll see you around then."

"Se ya."


"Can you go and check if your grandfather's ready for supper yet?" Her grandma Ruth asked.

Vanessa dido and left the kitchen to search for her Grandpa. He just couldn't be very far. She eventually did find him in his bedroom trying to take a nap. Gently, she shook him and he stirred.

"Huh?" he asked confused.

"Grandma said dinner's ready." Vanessa replied.

"Oh," With that her grandpa followed her into the kitchen where Tammy was already happily seated.

The meal was in silence except for the occasional comment from Tammy. She gave life to the meal.

Throughout the whole meal, the thing about her parents bothered her. It just seemed too weird that they would send her to Grandma's house if they weren't going on a trip. And then they always seemed sad and upset. She wished that she could have her friends to talk to about this. They would have suggestions and comfort her. She would also have avoided coming over to her grandparent's house.

Her grandmother suggested they clean the house when they finished eating. Vanessa reluctantly agreed and began. She started to clean but found a piece of card on the floor by the door amongst the many shoes. It was a business card for a lawyer that probably dropped out of one of her parent's pocket.

A Lawyer? She asked herself. ButThat would mean….no she couldn't think of that. She just couldn't picture that happening. Shaking that thought away she continued to the boring task of cleaning.


"Carrie, I'm home." Her mother called.

Carrie stopped from her reading and greeted her mother.

"How did the doctor's appointment go?" she asked

Her mother smiled and looked anxious "Is you father here?"

"Oh…yeah, he came around thirty minutes ago."

She nodded. "Have him come in here."

Carrie did as her mother said and got her father. No doubt a little curious. When they were all were seated in the living room, Carrie's mother took a deep breath and smiled.

"I'm Pregnant."
