Chapter 9 - Long Enough

Basketball season at Ocean View high is off to a great start all thanks to Percy Jackson for winning the comeback game a few weeks ago so everyone is pretty ecstatic. Grover and all of his teammates with the exception of Sean, were all jealous of Percy getting all the glory for taking the team to the top. That's what you get when you're the all star for your high school basketball team.

After basketball practice, Sean, Percy, Grover and Chris were all in the shower rooms still dressed in their uniforms applying deodorant. Sean on the other hand was hiding on the other side shooting up steroids. Too bad Coach Carter, AKA, My dad had been appointed as the new basketball coach and doesn't like the shenanigans that the basketball team pulls on the other students.

Sean was trying to finish shooting up until Coach Carter stood in front of him with a serious look on face. Sean's in trouble now!

"Hello Sean…" Mr. Carter said sternly

Sean began to panic. He gulped too. "Hi Coach!"

"Come with me" Mr. Carter said

Sean sighed as he and my dad walked into his office. Sean sat down on one of the beige chairs in front of his desk. The coach sat down on his chair behind his desk. His desk was scattered with papers, writing utensils and not to mention, pictures of Me, Mom and my younger, "handsome" 12 year old brother Derek.

"Do you mind telling me, why the hell are you shooting up steroids?" Coach Carter asked

Sean didn't know how to answer. "I..uh..well.."

"I'm not going to have tom-foolery on my basketball team Sean. You're a good kid. I don't need you taking those kinds of things" Coach Carter explained

My dad was serious. Really serious! Now Sean was going to sell Percy out.

"What about Percy?" Sean asked

"What about him?" Coach Carter questioned

"He has this stash.. Uh, what it's called? Oh wait! I remember! METHANPHEDAMINE!" Sean explained

"PERCY SMOKES METH?" Coach Carter roared

"Yes" Sean replied fearfully

Sean got up off of his chair and stormed out of my dad's office in fear. What would happen to Percy? I hope my dad doesn't kill him.

*Screen fades to Sean taking Zoe to his house*

Sean was driving his black SUV with Zoe sitting in the passenger seat. It was raining out heavily today. Usually, it never rains in the O.C.

"Are you ready Zoe?" Sean asked

Zoe nodded in response. "Yeah"

Sean continued to drive for at least another 20 more minutes until they reached Sean's house. His parents were about to receive the shock of their lives. Sean parked in the garage of his villa and stopped the car. The heavy rainstorm was getting a whole lot worse.

*Screen fades to Sean and Zoe in the house*

"Dad?" Sean questioned

"Yes, Son?" Mr. Cooper asked

"Zoe and I have something we need to tell you" Sean responded

Mr. Cooper felt that this wasn't going to be good news.

Sean sighed.

"I'm pregnant" Zoe blurted out

Mr. Cooper dropped his alcohol on the floor in shock.

*Screen fades to Percy in Coach Carter's office*

Percy was sitting on that exact same chair that Sean had sat on about 15 minutes ago when he was in the office. My dad wasn't delighted to have him in his office.

"Percy, do you mind telling me why the hell you had Meth in your locker?" Coach Carter roared

Percy gulped.

"It's not mine!" He yelled

"What kind of example are you setting for my daughter?" Coach Carter asked

"I just told you! It's not mine!" Percy repeated

I then walked in without noticing that my dad was there.

"Hi Coach Gunderson, do you…" I said

Then I looked up and then I jumped in scarce.

"Holy shit!" I screamed

Percy giggled.

"You didn't know that the coach is your dad?" Percy questioned

"No I didn't, smart one" I replied

My dad was suspicious.

"Nicole Alyssa Carter, my own daughter, do you know who owns this meth?" Coach Carter asked as he held up the bag of Meth from Percy's locker.

My eyes widened.

"IT'S MINE!" I screamed

Percy's jaw dropped. He turned over to my dad.

"I suppose I deserve an apology" Percy said with a smirk

My dad sighed.

"I'm sorry" Coach Carter apologized

Percy then got up off of the beige chair and exited the room leaving a terrified me and a pissed off basketball coach dad in the room.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Coach Carter roared

I grinned.

"You think doing drugs is funny?" he screamed

"I do meth because I'm stressed, OK?" I shot back

My father wasn't too pleased with me, the fact that I now do drugs because of my stress pisses him off. If my mom finds out this, it will send her off the edge.

"Just wait until I tell your mother" Coach Cater threatened

"Go ahead! She won't do anything! She'll just stand up for me" I remarked

I then snatched the bag of meth out of my dad's hand and stormed out of the office leaving my dad furious. He had begun to trash his entire office. He threw everything all over the place. Serve's him for being a shit parent.

*Screen fades to Sean, Mr. Cooper and Zoe in the house*

Zoe had just revealed the news to Sean's dad who had just dropped his precious beer on the floor.

"Sean, how did this happen?" Mr. Cooper asked

"I had sex" Sean replied

Mr. Cooper felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

"AT 16?" He roared

Sean gulped.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Mr. Cooper yelled

"Dad, are you going to help me or not?" Sean asked

Mr. Cooper sighed reliantly.

"I will help you" Mr. Cooper said

Zoe looked surprised.

"Really?" she asked

Mr. Cooper nodded.
