Chapter Seven:

Angie made her way into the Ross's condo, without Luke knowing.

She slowly followed Luke into his kitchen.

"Hey Luke!" She announced, making him jump slightly.

"Angela! What are you doing here?"

She shrugged. "I just wanted to see you," she placed her hand on his arm, "and I came to ask you something."

He moved his arm away. "Like what?"

"Why are you with Lucy? I mean... She's going to drag you down with her, you know, with her being pregnant, and all. The only reason she keeps you around, is so she doesn't get all the shame... She doesn't care about you at all, she only cares about the money you'll bring in."

Luke gave her a questionable look. "How do you know that? Lucy's told keep plenty of times she loves me, she wouldn't care about money."

Angie sighed, she lead him to the table and sat down. "She told me earlier today. " She looked down and shook her head. "I didn't want to say anything, though." She looked back at him. "I mean... You are Michael's friend... And I really care about you." She placed a kiss on his cheek.

Luke felt uncomfortable, he got up from the chair. "I... I have to talk to her in the morning to see if true..."

Angie got up. "Lucy would just deny it, Luke! Lucy doesn't want you to leave her!" She lowered her voice and placed her arms around him. "Please, Luke... Just let her go as soon as you see her again." She kissed him. "Stay with me."

"But... What about Michael? Don't you love him?"

Angie laid her head on his chest. "He'll understand. Honestly, he wouldn't care... He wants too see other people. "

"He broke up with you?"

Angela nodded her head, forcing tears to fell. "Yeah... I.. I came to you, you're the only other guy who cares about me."

Luke hugged her. "Of course I care about you, you're one of my friends... But... I'm not going to move on from Lucy to you. I can't do that to her, or Michael."

Angela removed her head from his chest. "Why not?"

"Michael is friend, Lucy doesn't like you... And, I don't like you more than a friend."

Angie pulled away from him. "Oh..." she bit her lip. "Well... I should get going... See you tomorrow. "

*Morning-At the teens' High School*

Lucy rolled her eyes at the group of girls whispering when she walked by. A couple boys looked at her, smirking and winking at her.

Stephanie shook her head at them. "She has a boyfriend, you two. Back off."

The boys grunted and walked off.

"Thanks..." Lucy sighed, opening her locker.

"Don't thank me, Luce. I only did it because it's true, you do have a boyfriend. "

Lucy shrugged. "I don't know if I do anymore..."

"What do you mean?"

"Luke... Isn't himself this morning... He's been avoiding me..." Lucy looked back at Stephanie. "I don't understand why, though... He was perfectly fine last night... He hasn't even texted me... I... I wish he'll tell me what's wrong... "

Stephanie pointed behind Lucy. "Well, hopefully he's here to tell you."

Lucy looked behind her and saw Luke. She brightened up, closing her locker, she walked as she can to him. "Luke!" She hugged him. She pulled away when she didn't feel him hugging her back. "Luke? What's wrong?"

"Don't act innocent with me, Lucille. Angela told me your little scam, I'm not having any of it."

"What do you mean, 'scam'? And what exactly did Angela tell you?"

"You're only with me for the money! Which, I can believe, with my parents being big movie directors, practically everyone only wants me in their lives for the money! I thought you actually loved me!"

Lucy was confused. "I do Luke! If I didn't love you, I wouldn't be pregnant with your kids! And why would I want to try and take money from you, when my own father makes good enough amounts of money!?" A small group soon formed around the two.

"Maybe you only got pregnant with keep, so I have to give you money! Either if we're together, or through child support! I'm not stupid, Lucy!"

Lucy bit her lip hard, fighting back tears. "My father was right about you," she whispered, "you're bad news..." she raised her voice. "You don't love me... You never have... You just wanted me for sex, huh?" She shook her head in disapproval. "This explains everything! All your niceness was a game. All those 'I love you's were just a trap! And now that I'm pregnant, you want to leave me!" She allowed herself to start crying. She shook her head. "How could I have been so stupid? The 'love' we had... Only exist in fairy tales... " she pushed past the crowd, walking to the bathroom.

Stephanie glared at him. "You should be ashamed of yourself! She doesn't need this stress on her! Why would you even believe Angela!? You know Lucy hates her! Lucy would never, ever, ever tell Angela anything like that!"

Luke didn't look at her. "I know... But... I've been there before... I didn't want it to happen again."

Stephanie didn't feel sorry for him. "You know Lucy loved you. I can understand if she never wants to see you again. I wouldn't either." She shook her head. "I never liked you." She find Lucy.

Michael was next to speak to Luke. "Seriously? My sister would never use anyone for money. And thanks. Thanks for everything, not only did you just hurt my little sister, but you just basically slapped everyone. And for stealing my girlfriend. Ex-girlfriend, actually. For ruining your own kids' lives... And especially ruining any good teen dads do. Another example of the ones who don't care about their kid or the kid's mother."

Ash, Stephanie boyfriend, shook his head. "Not cool, dude. Even of she was using you for money, you had to announce it to the school, you couldn't have just talked about it with her at her house, or yours? This is just depressing..." he walked off with Michael and the rest of the group, who now had something know to talk about.

Luke sighed. He leaned on the wall. Feeling the sudden burst of anger, he slapped the wall. Ignoring the stinging that came with it,.he walked off, shoving past the groups of people.

Angela watched what happened, she felt a little happiness, but she mostly felt regret. She knew Lucy would be hurt, she knew Luke might get a little hateful comments and stares, she knew Michael would be hurt, she knew that she too would be shunned from some people. What she didn't know is how bad Lucy and Michael were hurt, or all the disapproving comments and looks Luke got. Or that he was hurt too.

Jasmanie shook her head at her. "I never though you can be that cold, Angela. That's colder than me. I don't like Lucy either, but I would never try and steal her boyfriend from her. I at least have a line drawn, and consider her feelings sometimes."

Angie looked at the darker haired girl. "I didn't know it would go this far."

"What, you just thought Luke would break up with her and got with you and you two would live happily ever after? You know... I never tried to wedge my way into their relationship. I thought they were a good match for each other. And I hate Lucy."

Angie turned away from her. "I know..."

*Back with Lucy *

"You okay, Luce?" Stephanie asked quietly. She could hear her friends whimpering and emptying her stomach. She knocked on the stall where the sounds were coming from.

Lucy wiped her mouth as she walked out.

Stephanie hugged her. "It's going to be okay, Lucy. I promise. "

Lucy hugged her tighter, burying her face into 's shoulder. "I... I... Can't..." she calmed down a little. "I can't believe... He believed her over me... I can't believe he snapped at me like that..."

Stephanie rubbed her back. "I know. Do you want me to drive you home? We can tell nurse you don't feel all that great. "

Lucy pulled away and shook her head. "I'm not going home just because Luke just..." she shook her head again. "No... I want to stay here."

Stephanie nodded. "Okay. But, classes have already started, and no offence, but I'm not having you going back out looking like this." She reached in her bag and pulled out , make up remover, and a breath mint. "Here, fix yourself up, if you're going to be extremely late, then so am I."

Lucy gave a faint smile as she fix her hair and make up. Before she left the bathroom with Stephanie, she shook her head. "My dad is going to kill Luke when he finds out..."

Stephanie nodded. "And tell you he was right about Luke."

Lucy nodded. She placed her hand on the slightly bigger baby bump. "I feel like a horrible mother... Giving my children a father like him... Hopefully they look more like me. I mean, I'll still love them... But I really hope they take more after me."

Stephanie shrugged. "I don't know, Lu. You and Michael look and took after your dad. And I took after my biological one."

Lucy nodded. "I know. We must've made my mom feel even more worse."

Stephanie nodded. "And boy... When she finds out, she might join your dad. She seriously turns into momma bear when anyone hurts you or your siblings. "

Lucy sighed. "Well then, hopefully they get him good. "
