"Wait...What?" I whispered in disbelief, hoping I had misheard what she had said.
Tori pressed her palms to her eyes "I said...Im..im..Pregnant" she groaned between huffs. Her brown hair covered every inch of her face, like a curtain. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and pulled her close to me,
her face pressed against my neck, and my chin rested upon on her head. I rubbed her arms sympathetically, and continued to whisper "It'll be okay", even though It probably wouldn't.
We sat there for what felt like half an hour, and stood up at the sound of the bell. I was about to walk out, but Vega didn't look like she was about to follow. She had her attention fixed on her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were red and swollen, and front strands of her hair were drenched. There was no way she could go to class looking like that.
"Do you want me to stay here with you?" I asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. I couldn't leave her there by herself, who knows what kind of crazy stuff she would do if she were left alone. She looked up at me, her expression blank...and numb.
"I'll be fine, just go to class" she responded in a very raspy voice. I pursed my lips, and let out a soft smile. Dammit, what am I doing? Im acting all sympathetic and soft to a girl im suppost to hate. Im probably going to regret this.
"Whatever, i'll stay here. I haven't ditched class for a month, so Its about time I regain my rebellion" I said, trying to soften the mood. She smiled a very weak smile at me, and looked down to the basin.
We stood there in silence for a couple of minutes, but curiosity got the better of me "Er...how did it happen?" I asked, my face full of worry and concern. Vega just stood there, and stared at her hands. It didn't look like she wanted to tell me, which I totally get. She let out a shivery sigh, and looked up at me, our eyes meeting.
"I went to a party last month in Northridge...and um...I had a soda and im guessing that someone had spiked it-" "Like drugs?" I cut in. She pursed her lips, and nodded her head.
"I had a couple of sips...and then I...I can't remember" she said, her breathing shuttery "But the next day I woke up in the carpark of Dolce cafe'...and my panties were missing..." she croaked, trying to blink back her tears. I rest my hand on her back, to try and comfort her. "I was in pain for a couple of days in that area, so thats how i know that they..." she then bursted in to tears and leaned into me for comfort. I pulled her closer...Any other time I would be thinking something dirty, but right now it doesn't even cross my mind. All I know, is that some bastard-or bastards have hurt Vega and made her life hell. I need to find these assholes, and kill them.
"What am I going to tell my parents?" she sobbed, shaking in my arms. Oh god, what WAS she going to tell her parents? If I ever got preggers, my parents would care less, but her parents? I need to be there for her, whether I lose my tough reputation or not. I love her, and right now she needs someone to cry to and help her.
"Its going to be okay Vega...I'm here for you.." I whisper, holding her close to me while she cried.

School flew by very quickly today, considering I skipped half of my classes to be with someone I supposidly hate. I tried my best to avoid Beck all day, to avoid any questions regarding my disapearances. I hopped into my car, and slammed the door shut. I stared at the steering wheel, and just drifted off into space...
After a couple of minutes, I pulled out my Pear Phone, and quickly jabbed at the keys.
"Are you okay?"
I stare at it for a minute, then clicked on Tori's name and pressed send. The poor thing didn't have anyone else to turn to. Usually I wouldn't care about other peoples problems, infact, I would usually laugh at a girl for getting knocked up. But this was Vega...
I twitched a smile when my pear phone beeped:
"Yeah, im fine"
Not much of a message, but at least it's something, right? I let out a heaved sigh, and started the car up. I quickly jolted out of the Hollywood arts parking lot, and took off on the road. I didn't really want to go home. Maybe I could go see Tori? Nah, she would probably think Im a creeper...But when has that stopped me before? I smiled at the thought of seeing Tori, and having an excuse to be nice to her. Maybe things were finally turning around...
