June, 2029. Julia's POV
I put on my skinny jeans, and looked outside, where I saw Hunter in his new car for his 17th birthday. Hunter's grandparents moved to Toronto, so he moved in with him. Allison's wedding is today, and she's been past happy. She passed her GED test, and is past high school. "Julia!" Hunter yelled, honking the horn. "Come on Goldsworthy! You got five minutes or I'm gonna come and tickle you!" Hunter threatened. I walked over the window, and giggled. "Because I'm so scared of tickles! Help me!" I teased.
I walked downstairs, to our usual morning breakfasts. Dad, at work. Mom, over at Toronto Newspaper Inc. Zac, oh Zac, in his room, going through sadness. Ever since he gave Isabella up for adoption near Christmas last year. "Hey Zac, come down for breakfast." I whisper, opening his door. Zac was lying in his room, in the dark, and mumbled something. "What?" I ask. "Fine." Zac gets up, and I smile at the picture of Jordan, Isabella and Zac at the hospital. I move my hand, and bump into the picture. It flies off the desk, and the glass breaks onto the floor.
I turn to Zac, who ends up tackling me. "Julia! I'm going through pure hell here!" he yells, and tries to punch me. "Seriously? I'm 17, you're 14. And you're trying to tackle me. Wow." I tease. Zac gets off, and he starts to cry in my shoulders. "It's ok." I whisper, used to this. I guess it really must be pure hell to lose your girlfriend you seriously love and give up your daughter in less than one month.
We eat breakfast, and Hunter walks in, and tickles me. I giggle, and he kisses me. "God I love you." I manage to let out. "I know." He whispers, and I remember Zac eating his eggs behind us. "Come on. Let's go…Zac! Wanna come?" I offer. "Sure." Zac answers, and comes.
We go to the Zen Garden in Toronto, and I walk into the room. I help Allison into her dress, and put on my maid of honor dress. The ceremony happens, and Allison because Mrs. Allison Guthrie. After some party, Tyson walks up to me. "Hey Julia. You're bro gave his kid up for adoption?" Tyson asked. "Yeah, he did. Like almost a year ago. She's turning 1 next month." I answer. "Well, I was adopted. And I'm meeting up with my birth parents later. You and Zac wanna come, so they can talk about it?" Tyson offered. I glanced over at Zac, who was pecking the icing off a cupcake.
"Hey Zac, do you want to meet with someone I know who gave their kid up for adoption?" I ask. "Sure why not." Zac shrugs. We walk over to Tyson, who was talking to Jenna Guthrie, and KC Guthrie. "Julia, this is my birth parents. Mom, Dad, this is Julia and her lil' brother named Zac. He gave his kid up for adoption." Tyson introduces. "Hi." They say. I leave Zac talking to them, and I find Allison smiling weirdly. She dragged me to the bathroom, and announced, "I'm gonna lose my virginity tonight! Damn, I'm 22 and married, and I'm saying that." I giggle, and partied for the rest of the night. I dragged Zac home, with a smile on his face. "Julia, I'm ready to start fresh in September!" Zac cheered, and went to his room.
Zac's POV
"It's Monday!" I yell, jumping out of bed, and get ready for school. It definitely strange behavior for me for about a year, but this year's different. I walked up to Julia, and waved hi. "Hey Jules, could I drive Morty Jr. to school?" I ask, and Julia nods. "Happy Birthday!" Julia adds, and she hands me the keys, I grab my backpack, and drive to school. Today, I'm 15! I drive, and fine Alex and our new friend Marcus was talking by their lockers.
"Hey guys!" I greet, and they stare at me. "Are you Zachary Goldsworthy?" Alex teased. "Yeah, I am. But I'm starting fresh this year. So, any hot girls so far?" I ask, and Alex points to Diana walking over to him. I smile, and walk off. I walk into English, and I bump into a wall. I look at that wall, which is actually a girl, whose paper's I sent flying all over the place. I look down, and I stepped on something. I pick it up, which are red glasses.
"I think they're dead, sorry." I apologize. She smiles, and her friend is staring at me. "I got clear contacts now, I really don't need them." The girl whose glasses I stepped on. "Guess I'll see you around." I smirk. "Guess you're right. I have English too. I'm Stephanie." She greets. "I'm Zachary. But I hate that proper name, so call me Zac." I greet back. "So Stephanie, have a last name?" I ask. "Yes I do, it's Fitzgerald." She replies.
"Mine's Goldsworthy." I spit back. "Goldsworthy…catchy." Stephanie smiles. Her smile's cute. After some talking, we're really alike. "Yeah, so my favorite author is JK Rowling." Stephanie explains, after we walk out of lunch. "Mine too!" I cheer. She smiles, I smirk. Stephanie was wearing a Black Veil Brides T-shirt and black skinny jeans. Her friend, Sylvia Tackett is a stupid Blondie who has not a thought her in stupid brain, but Stephanie is so smart. "So, you're 15?" Sylvia asked. "Yeah…" I answer. "Oh Stephanie's 14, she skipped a grade. I'm um…um…" Sylvia answers. "15. You're 15 Sylvia." Stephanie answers. I laugh as the three of us walk into 5th period.
Earlier That Morning, Julia's POV
I walk to Degrassi, glad that the stupid uniform rule's over. With a Escape The Fate shirt, and black leggings, and I'm ready. I kiss Hunter as I see him, and notice he's taller, since I've seen him back in June, going to Florida with his grandparents. "Hey Julia!" Hunter greeted, and kissed me back. "Hey, guess what's today!" I start. "Um…our anniversary since meeting each other 14 years ago!" Hunter guessed. "Yeah! 14 years…" I trail off. "Can you believe it's been 14 years?" Hunter answers, and we walk down the hall. This year, we're seniors at Degrassi.
Julia's POV
"Hunter, do you think my Dad knows about us wanting to 'do it' soon?" I asked, whispering. Hunter shrugged, and I sighed. I sat on his bed, and he put his arm around me. The lights were off, and he I kissed him. He kissed me back, and we ended up laying down on his bed. "Too soon." Hunter whispers, but I take his skull shirt off. Eventually, our clothes are off, we're kissing, and we gave each other something, we could never take back.
"Julia!" a 17 year old boy yelled, running towards me. "What?" I ask, in deep irritation. "Protection you idiot!" the boy yells, and I realize it's Nicholas, my dream Nick. "Oh god, you're right!" I sigh, hugging him. "What if I'm…" I start, but can't finish. "Pregnant…Hunter loves you. He's you're partner in crime. And hey, at least you didn't get pregnant at 13 like Jordan. You're 17…" Nick adds.
"Yeah, you're right." I sigh. Nick and I talk for what seems years, but really only a few minutes. "When you need me, I'll be there. I've watched over you all of your life Jules." Nick whispers. "I feel stalked…" I tease, and we both smirk. "Love you." Nick says, and fades away.
In the morning, the first thing I do is to call Allison. "Hey Allison, you're an adult and stuff, could you buy me a pregnancy test?" I asked. Allison, already 3 months pregnant. "Sure, wait…why?" Allison asked. "I lost my V-card, forgot protection, probably pregnant." I shortly explain. "Oh, ok." Allison replies, and hangs up.
January, 2030, Zac's POV
Stephanie, sweet Stephanie. She's been over my house a few times, and we finally started dating on New Year's, and Mom and Dad wants to meet her parents. I put on a black button down shirt, and set the table. Julia comes downstairs, and talks to Allison on the phone. Julia told me how she thought she was pregnant, since she had sex with Hunter back in September. Thankfully, she's not pregnant.
The door rang, and Mom answered it. I walk up to the door, following Mom, and I see Stephanie's parents. "Hi! I'm Clare Goldsworthy, Zac's mom!" Mom greets. "Hi, I'm Ariel Fitzgerald, and this is my husband, Mark." Ariel greeted.
Clare's POV
Mark Fitzgerald. I thought, in surprise. Next to Ariel, was Fitz standing next to her. "Hi Clare." Fi-Mark greeted. "Hi Fi-Mark." I said back. I guided them in, and we ate dinner. Eli wasn't very nice, but he was good enough. Stephanie and Zac kissed bye, and she walked off. I smiled, and waited for my friends from high school to come. Julia, Zac, and Ethan were going to Eli's parent's house, to sleep over.
After a few hours, Adam, Fiona, Jenna, KC, Owen, Dave, Alli, Drew, Connor, Wesley, Anya, Holly J, Katie, Marisol and a lot others came, and we all sat down. I dug out a CD, and placed it in the PS8 (A/N: Future version of the PlayStation 8) and pressed play.
"Whatever It Takes, I know I could make it through!" The background sang. "Hey! I missed you so much! How was Spring Break in Florida?" Katie comes in, talking to Marisol. The screen fades, to me and Eli, when I yelled at him. "Did three months mean NOTHING? Did you flip a switch and erase me from your memory? It took you a year! A YEAR to get over your ex. Did you ever love me at all?" Jsake comes, and says, "And...scene!" and he grabs me while I argue back. I smiled at the movie, watching our teenage life.
Zac's POV
Stephanie, Sylvia and I hung out at Stephanie's and I went home. I found Julia and Hunter, on the couch, watching a movie, having a good time. I sat down with them, and watched the movie. A few hours later, I woke up to Julia, guiding me to my bad. "Julia?" I asked, my eyesight blurry. "Yeah. Just taking you to your bed. "Yep it's me. Zac, guess what!" Julia loudly whispered. "What?" I asked. "I'm pregnant." Julia answered, with a smile.
Did you guys like it? I want you guys to decide, LONG CHAPTERS or SHORT CHAPTERS. I'm putting an effort to make longer,
more interesting chapters, so it's taking me a little longer to update. I'll update alot sooner though, if I write long chatpters.
If you guys want to make my day, PLEASE review! I was thinking about writing a horror/romance/humor fanfiction, so if you'd
to read about that, tell me in a review, and if you'd like, suggest a name! Thanks and shoutouts to reviewers.
