Chapter 11

Tenshi's POV

My mom never did come back like she said she would. While I laid in my room listening to music, I thought back to what Sakura said. I was wondering if what she said was true and if it was, what do I do? Heck, why does it matter what I do? It's her problem. She did this all to herself. Even thinking like that, I still wondered what I should do.

From Keiji,

Let's go out tonight.

From Tenshi,

Sure, where at?

I need to get out of the house. It's not like my mom will be back.

From Keiji,

Come pick me up. Don't take long, mom and dad are at it again. I'll tell you everything when you pick me up.

I replied and said okay. I grabbed a sweater and grabbed my keys. When I was outside the front door, I could hear TenTen yelling at Neji. Scared, I walked back to my car and texted Keiji to come outside. When I saw him come outside, he ran to my car.

"Hey Ten, did you hear them," I nodded my head.

"So where are we going?" I asked him, trying to change the subject.

"Ashley is having a party, she didn't tell you?" I shook my head. Ashley barely talks to me now. I don't exactly know why, but that's how things are now.

"Let's get going then," he nodded and I started to drive down the block towards Ashley's house. When we were getting closer to her house, I could hear the blaring music. I parked my car and the house looked packed.

"You gonna drink?" Keiji asked me.

"Fuck it, I will. I need to think of other things tonight. Shall we go in?" he nodded.

On our way towards the front door, my ears felt like they were gonna fall off. After a few drinks I wouldn't care. Walking through the front doors, I didn't recognize a single person. Who the heck has Ashley been hanging out with since school started? Didn't matter I suppose.

Keiji walked me towards the kitchen and handed me a shot of vodka. It burned a sweet sensation down my throat. "More," I begged. He continued with the shots until my body started to sway. How many shots did I take?

"You okay there Ten?" Keiji asked. It sounded more like a shout, but I think it's just the alcohol taking its toll on me now.

"S-fine kei-ji." I slurred somehow. Keiji walked over to me and put my arm over his shoulder. He guided me through everyone and into my car. When he sat me down, I asked him to get me another drink. He wouldn't listen, so I went inside by myself. I don't remember if Keiji tried stopping me, but what I do remember is that when I got inside, I blacked out.

The next day, I woke up in unfamiliar room. The walls were filled with posters and on the side of the bed, there was a glass of water and a pill. It didn't matter what the pill was, I sat up and grabbed the water and the red pill. I swallowed and my head was throbbing in pain. My throat was still dry, so I took the rest of the water in the glass.

Slowly, I rolled out of the bed and left the room. It was when I walked into the hallway, I knew where I was. Quickly I walked back to Keiji's room and laid back down on the bed. I then got up and looked everywhere for my phone, it was no where to be seen. While ruffling though the blanket, someone spoke.

"Ten, before you completely ruin my room, I have your phone right here," Keiji said. I then turned around to face him and also retrieved my phone. Then slowly I went and sat back down on his bed, Keiji followed right after me. I looked at him and let out a loud sigh. I felt horrible that morning. Even moving the slightest bit, my stomach wouldn't stop churning.

"What happened last night?" I asked him. As I could recall, the only thing I could remember is Keiji giving me shots and I'm running back inside for more.

"I'm actually glad you asked," he paused for a few seconds. "First, we shall make ourself some coffee."

"Why can't you tell me now?" I asked him. He didn't listen and dragged me downstairs. When we reached downstairs, TenTen was sitting at the table drinking out of a mug. She saw me and her eyes were puffy. I gave her a questioning look, but decided to ignore it and sat at the island. Keiji walked over to me and handed me a mug of coffee.

Blowing my coffee, Keiji sat down beside me.

"So tell me, what happened last night?" Keiji stared at me without saying anything, then slowly he turned his head towards his mom.

"Well I do have to say this, you were pretty wasted last night," Keiji whispered to me. I glared at him and let out a groan. My stomach really started to churn.

"Can we go upstairs and talk? I don't feel comfortable talking about this down here," I admitted to him. He nodded and almost on key, TenTen walked out of the kitchen. I let out a sigh and thanked her mentally because I didn't want to get up from my seat.

"Well, after you ran back inside, I had no choice but to run after you because you were wasted out of your mind. You were clearly to fast for me, so when I went inside I had to look all over the place. Then when I found you," he started to snicker.

"Then what?" I yelled.

He started to laugh louder, "Then when I found you, you were dancing on the table," Keiji began to laugh harder. I looked away in embarrassment. It just couldn't be true. In all the times I went out drinking, not once and I mean not once have I ever got that wasted.

"Anything else?" I grumbled.

"Yeah, let's go back to my room," I nodded and we both got up and went upstairs. When we were both inside, Keiji started to play music very loud, but not too loud. Just enough so we can speak. I began to wonder why. When he sat on the bed with me, he let out a loud sigh.

"So?" I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders and he had a looked a little down.

"Well," he lowered his head and let out a louder sigh. "How should I say this?"

"What?" I asked.

"Last night I had no choice but to drive us back. On the way back, you were mumbling some things and I need to ask you about that." My eyes opened in shock. I mentally started to pray hoping that I didn't spill anything about Neji or Sakura. If I did, I wouldn't even know how to explain anything. Or even know where to begin.

"What do you mean I was mumbling some things?" I asked him quietly.

"You said something about Sakura and my dad," he said quietly with a little hurt in his voice. I looked away and closed my eyes and slowly put my hand over my chest. Dammit! I just had to open my big mouth. I mentally slapped myself. I was honestly an idiot. Never again will I drink again.

"Like what did I say?" I asked him, trying to lie my way out of this.

"You said Sakura's pregnant from my dad. I just have one thing to ask, is it true?" I swear I stopped breathing when he asked me. I just couldn't believe I told him. No one was suppose to know. Maybe it was for the better? Nonsense, it can't be. If it was, then I wouldn't need to lie.

"No no, shit!" I said. I was mostly saying it to myself.

"So it is true then?"

"No, I mean yes. No I mean no!"

"Which is it Ten? Yes or no?" Keiji growled at me. I felt tears well up in my eyes and I lowered my head and nodded my head.

"Yeah it's true." Keiji got up and punched the wall. "Stop it Keiji!" I yelled at him.

"Fuck! Since when?" I shook my head. "Since when Tenshi?"

"For about a month now. I'm sorry, I truly am." Tears were falling and I didn't bother holding them back. It was no use, he knew the truth and I couldn't lie to him anymore.

Keiji slowly lifted his hand from the wall and sat down on his bed. I sat beside him. I looked at him and then heard the door open.

"What happened? I heard something fall," TenTen asked.

"It was nothing, I just slipped that's all," I lied. I couldn't tell her the truth.

"Okay, Tenshi you got a phone call," I nodded and went out into the hallway.

"Where's the phone?" I asked.

"Please don't tell me it's true," TenTen asked, completely ignoring my question.

"What?"

"Is she pregnant?" I stared her in shock. Did she hear us? I asked myself.
