I have basically had a bad past two days. I got in a stupid car accident then I broke my keyboard so I couldn't write...But that's the case anymore. Anyway this chapter sucks...

Chapter 28

Veronica Townsend is a bitch. A complete and total bitch and I have to call her mother. I hope to God I don't end up being a mother/woman like she is when I'm older. I hope my kid doesn't hate me as much as I really hate her right now. I'm not being childish either.

Although, I'm also angry at my child's father. Stupid man thought it would be a good idea to talk to my mother.

It's been over three hours since my mother had called me to come home. I walked into my house with my stupid boyfriend pacing and my mother yelling at him. He was yelling back, of course. Stupid man. That just got the beast more fired up. Perfect idea.

It took the both of them half an hour to even notice I was in the room. I was far too afraid to interrupt either of them with the way they were speaking to each other. That's when my mother's harsh words were turned to me. Apparently I'm a whore who only got pregnant to keep Ryan in my life. Apparently I don't deserve to be happy. And most of all she's asking me to give my baby up for adoption. Worst of all Ryan's agreeing with her there.

My body. My baby. My life. I'm not giving my child to some random couple because they think it'd be best. I made this mistake, I'm going to deal with it. Although, no I do not think of my child as a mistake. The baby was never supposed to happen, though. And sometimes I do wish there wasn't a child involved in all of this stupid mess. Poor kid will be paying for my mistakes the rest of their life.

After telling my mother I wasn't giving the baby up for adoption I was grounded and sent up to my room. She had actually let Ryan come up to speak to me and for the past hour all we've done is stare at each other, not saying a freaking word.

It's getting really annoying and I'm about to say something but he holds up his hand and starts talking instead. Before he could get a word out my bedroom door opened briskly.

"I have a plan." I widened my eyes at my mother. She had a plan? I didn't have a freaking plan and my mother had one! "You'll drop out of school, finish with a tutor. I don't want anyone in this town to be talking about me as a mother so you'll stay here until the baby is born. You will not see Ryan, if you have any sort of contact with him I will see to it he gets put in jail. Once that thing inside of you comes out and ruins your life than I don't care what you do but until then you're to follow my rules. Do what I say."

"Even though I'm 18, I have to listen to you?" As soon as I said that Ryan glared at me.

"Take it or leave it, Taylor. If you do not follow what I say he's in jail and that thing is put up for adoption." She snarled back. I gulped and nodded. "Say goodbye to Ryan, Taylor." She barked before turning out of the room and leaving up alone for a few minutes.

"What a plan." I rolled my eyes crossing my arms over my chest.

"Right now, I think it's the only way to go. Just do what she says." He sighed before kissing my cheek and standing up.

"Oh no, Mister. I have to spend the next five months carrying your child without you being around and all I get is a kiss on the cheek?" I pouted. I watched him laugh before turning back towards me and kissing me hard on the lips. "Better." I smiled before he pulled away.

"Take care." He whispered before kissing my forehead and leaving the room.

I have a feeling the next five months are going to be hell.

"Just because you're pregnant does not mean you have to eat my entire kitchen, Taylor. You should be doing something so you don't gain so much weight. You look like a whale. You're going on a diet." My mother informed. It has been exactly 8 weeks since I have seen Ryan. Staying in this house with only my mother around is hell but I'm managing. My tutor is this really nice old lady and she said that I'll even be able to graduate with my class. Mom says I can since I'll have a gown on and my stomach will be hidden from the world. I'm surprised the witch is allowing this.

"A diet?" I glared at her. This woman was insane. There is no way I'm going on a diet 23 weeks pregnant. "You're really funny, mom."

"Fine, but you're going to be wishing you dieted now once you have the thing." She rolled her eyes before leaving me to my ice cream. I smiled into the bowl. It was the only thing that seemed to make me happy anymore. How terrible.

I heard my phone ringing from the kitchen. I sighed before having to lift myself up from the chair and rush over to it. It was a private number. I answered it.

"Taylor…" I knew that voice. I smiled when I heard it but then I quickly got confused. I didn't want to say his name out loud incase my mother was anywhere near me. "I blocked my number. She'll never know I called. I just had to hear you…" He whispered. I laughed into the phone. "Go somewhere that you can talk to me…I know she's watching you like a hawk.

"You're right. I'll take a walk. Call back in two minutes, give me time to tell her I'll take walk towards our private beach, that way no one can see me." I concluded before flipping my phone closed.

I was happy that she had allowed me to take a walk. She barely let me step foot in the sun since I had started getting fatter. I walked down towards the water before sticking my toes in the edge of the water. As soon as the phone rang I quickly answered it. I sat back with my feet in the water still and my butt in the same. I didn't care that the tide kept come up and getting me wet. It felt nice against my skin.

"How have you been?" He asked me.

"My mother is about to drive me insane. I'm a whale, my feet are swollen. Can you imagine having your feet so huge you can barely fit them in your shoes." I rambled off. I heard him laugh.

"I've missed you so much…"

"Me too." I smiled, I really wish he could see my smile. It would make this so much easier. "Anything interesting go on with you lately?" I asked.

"Actually, yes. I talked to this guy that lives in Berkeley. He's going to help me get a job out there once we move. You're still in with that aren't you?" He questioned.

"Yeah, I'm in." I told him.

I spent the next half hour talking to Ryan about nothing important, it was nice to just get to talk to him. I had really missed hearing his voice. He said he had missed my rambling and the way I just fit perfectly into his arms. I miss that too.

"This sucks!" I declared before I got off the phone with him.

"What?" He asked like he had no idea.

"Being away from you! Do you have any freaking clue how insane pregnancy hormones are?"

"That bad?" He laughed at me.

"Yes. I actually asked my mother if I could see you just for sex. I know that's not something I should have asked her but I was desperate. She ended up calling me a whore and saying no but it was worth it to see the look on her face." I giggled. That had been a great day of tormenting my insane mother.

We watched the sun set together on the phone. It was nice, but not enough. Ten minutes later I realized my mother was probably going to be upset if I didn't get home soon. I hate getting off of the phone with him. It was hard but it had to be done.
