Chapter 8
-Michael-
Pulling my old beat up cell phone from my pocket; I dial the old familiar number. Hoping that the phone is still connected and working. After a couple of rings I am ready to throw in the towel and give up on him again.
"Hello!" He yells over the pounding music from a night club I am sure.
"Dad! I need to talk to you." My father is the last person I want to ask for something from but I don't really have a choice.
"Son? What's wrong I just left you five hours ago?" Has it only been that long it feels like a week?
"I really screwed up Dad; I don't know what to do."
"What happened?" The pounding music becoming less audible as my father walks somewhere quieter.
"I found out I got a girl pregnant."
I hear a loud large intake of breathe, "Michael, we talked about this, well your whole life; no glove no love."
"I know dad I just got carried away and it just happened once."
"Sunshine and I can come home for a while and help through this mess."
"No Dad, it's okay she doesn't even know if she wants to keep the baby."
"Michael, I'm telling you now it is not easy giving up a baby. Hell, if your mother and I had decided to do that you wouldn't be here to make the same stupid mistake."
"I know Dad; what do I do? This girl and I don't even know each other."
"You stand up and do the right thing. It's not this child's fault that you did a stupid thing."
"Her parents threw her out; she doesn't have anywhere to go."
"Take her to the trailer; Sunshine and I will come by in a few days and make sure everything's okay." My father stepping up and helping me in my life is new. I wonder if he is just doing it because he has gone through his before and feels guilty that his son is going to walk down the same path.
"Thanks Dad."
"I'll see you in a few days; I just hope you can handle this son."
He hangs up before I tell him I hope I can too; closing my phone and putting it back into my pocket.
"So, you're going to be a Daddy Guerin?" A voice behind me makes me jump; turning around to see Kyle coming out of Liz's hospital room.
"I guess." I turn and make my way outside of the hospital for some fresh air.
Kyle follows me out and we take a seat on a bench outside.
"Liz Parker how did you do that Guerin?" Kyle asks after we sit for five minutes not saying a word.
"We both made a stupid mistake that is going to mess up both of our lives."
"Yeah I know how that goes." Kyle and I are not friends in fact I think this is our first conversation ever.
"Do you," lifting my eyebrow at him.
"Yeah, I messed up with Tess and I don't know how to fix it."
"What did you do, because I took away all of Liz's hopes and dreams. Top that."
"I can't but things will work out for you; just like I'm sure they will for me and Tess." Saying it like it's the most natural thing in the whole world.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Liz is too good of a person to be brought down at sixteen. She'll make it through this; you both will."
He gets up walking back toward the hospital doors.
"Hey, I'd be careful of Evans if I were you. He already called all the guys and told them about you sleeping with Liz."
I open my mouth to speak.
"They don't know about the baby. Just watch your back and Liz's."
"Thanks, I'll remember that." I am not scared of Max Evans in the slightest but I am scared for Liz.
"By the way I'm on your side Liz is too good for Max."
As my hand on my watch strikes midnight ending my terrible day I am surprised that I may have found a friend in Kyle Valenti.
