Seize the Day 10

By: Princess Vengeance

Pheobie's Point of View

My 17th birthday came and went. My first drive down Main Street came and went. 1 year sober came and went. Time came and went. Zack and I had made up once again and have been together faithfully for the past year. Now here I was, accepting my high school diploma from my principal. Out in the audience I could see my mom and dad smiling proudly at me. Helana sat with her now fiancé, Matt. Johnny, Jimmy and even Brian sat cheering and clapping for me. Then there was Zack, my life and my love. His grin wasn't his normal mischievous little evil smirk. Instead it was a pleased smile. It was now that I had graduated high school that I could finally live with Matt, Helana and Zack in their 3 bedroom apartment. I did it, I thought as I strolled down the stage.

After the graduation

Zack's Point of View

I sat on the bed as I watched her put her clothes away. I finally felt like we were together. We lived in the same house now and we were ready to start our lives together.

"Hey love birds, watcha doing?" Helana poked her head through the slightly opened door.

"Nothing yet…" I gave Pheobie a naughty little grin.

Helana laughed,

"Well don't get too excited" She headed back out the door as Pheobie hung the final shirt in the closet.

"Finally," she sighed and admired her empty suitcases "I can say I live here." I stood up and grabbed her from behind and kissed her cheek.

"I am so glad that I can finally say we're not sneaking around anymore," she stated softly. I carried her over to the bed.

A Month Later

Helana's Point of View

I sat at the diner table and watched Pheobie cry her eyes out.

"How can this happen?" she questioned miserably. "What if he doesn't want to keep it?" I thought about it. Pheobie was 3 weeks pregnant. "What about the band?" she covered her face in shame.

"May I get you ladies anything?" a waitress interrupted both of our thoughts.

"Um, no thank you." I almost whispered. The tall redheaded waitress walked away. "Baby, first of all don't cry," I tried to calm her down "Zack isn't going to just leave you to raise a baby alone." She gave me a painful look. I couldn't bear to see this happen to her. Because of Zack, Pheobie's heart was broken…many times. Because of Zack, Pheobie was an alcohol addict. Because of Zack, Pheobie was pregnant. Because of Zack, because of Zack…my head throbbed from thinking about Zack. "Well you have to tell him sooner or later…"

Two Days Later

Narrator

Pheobie sat on the bed, heart beating rapidly. Tears were still streaming down her face. Zack walked into the room.

"Baby, what's wrong why won't you talk to me?" His eyes filled with confusion. She looked back at him blankly. She was so afraid. Afraid of being a 17 year old mother. Afraid of disappointing her parents. Afraid of Zack leaving her. Afraid. The tears came down harder. Helana appeared at the door.

"She's pregnant."

Zack's expression was neither happy nor mad. He instead looked stunned. He buried his face in his hands for about 5 minutes. Then, he finally lifted his head back up,

"Are you going to keep it?" The whole room went silent.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Pheobie roared with anger. She stood up. "You must be fucking crazy if you think I am going to risk my life getting an abortion just because you can't man up!" She spat every word out with fire. Hormones. She stomped heavily out of the bed room. The door slammed.

"You know you're going to keep this baby," Helana said sternly as she sat next to Zack on the bed. "And you are not going to hurt her again." He sat staring at the wall for a few more minutes.

"I don't plan on it."

Zacky's Point of View

I walked into the living room to find Pheobie sobbing on the couch. I went over and hugged her.

"Baby, I didn't mean it as if I was going to leave you," He held her close. "I just wanted to know what you wanted to do." She cracked a weak little smile.

"No you didn't"

8 months later

narrator

Brian, Jimmy, Johnny and Zack all sat in the living room discussing their plan.

"So we're going to do this?" The guys had all planned to rob a local convenience store. Only one week until Pheobie was expected to give birth.

Brian had came up with an elaborate plan to rob the place and get Pheobie and the baby a bigger place to live. Being a rising rock star isn't glamorous and even with Pheobie working two jobs the couple still struggled to make ends meet. It took a while for Zack to go along with it but he finally agreed to Brian's plan. Zack looked up at the clock. Matt was still at work while Pheobie and Helana were out baby shopping. Johnny got the keys and headed out to the car.

As they neared the store they all put on our black ski-masks to complete the dark outfits.

Jimmy's Point of View

I grabbed my bat.

"Remember Johnny, have the car ready." He nodded his head. We were all over flowing with adrenaline. It's not as if we robbed a convenience store before.

Brian, Zack and I ran out of the car and into the open doors. Brian jumped over the counter and knocked the cashier out with the bat. Zack ran over to block the phone. Not many people were in the store. No one seemed to have a cell phone. Brian grabbed the bag filled with money.

"Oh shit the cops!" I shouted. We all headed for the back door. There was Johnny with the car. For once he didn't fuck everything up. I jumped into the car with Brian following after me. I pulled off my ski mask and looked at the bag filled with money.

"Where's Zack?" Brian asked looking around as we sped off. We both looked back just in time to see Zack get tackled to the ground by a police officer.

Watch Out for Part 11!
