Did I say that was the last update? My bad, here goes chapter 5!

Chapter 5

"You're having the baby."
May looked up and let go of Drew's hand. "What?"
"You're having the baby." repeated Mrs. Almond. Mr. Almond grunted in agreement.
Norman looked back over at the two and nodded. "That's what I was saying. May should have the baby."
"As a lesson." said Mr. Almond glaring over at Drew. "These two should know this isn't all fun and games."
Norman glared over at May. "Right, actions have consequences. And by this age you should know that too."
"The baby will be a reminder." added Mr. Almond. "A reminder of what you did."
May rolled her eyes and held onto Drew's hand again. It was close to eleven AM, and the Maples had been at The Almond's house since seven that morning. May was practically dragged over this morning when really; she just wanted to get back to sleep.
She had instantly felt better when she saw Drew sitting in the chair next to an empty one and while the adults had talked, they each took turns squeezing each others hands.
"May, are you listening?" asked Norman.
"Yeah, dad." May let go of Drew's hand and looked over at Norman.
"I don't think telling them is enough." said Mr. Almond. "Norman, they're friggin thirteen."
"Sixteen, dad." corrected Drew.
"I don't care." Mr. Almond glared back over at Drew. "You know what; you're not supposed to be popping out babies until after you're married."
"Yes Drew, we are very disappointed with you." Mrs. Almond took off her glasses. "I can't believe our son did that to your May. We are very sorry Norman, Carolyn."
"It's okay." Carolyn smiled, "will you punish him?"
"No doubt." answered Mr. Almond.
May frowned and waved her hands in front her parents as if making sure they were seeing her. "Hello, um, it's my fault too."
"Oh no, it's not your fault." Mrs. Almond smiled. "I know how much you love Drew dear, but it's no reason to take the blame."
May stood up. "It was my fault too! I don't think it's fair to only punish Drew when I had something to do with it."
"Oh please May." Carolyn laughed. "You can't fight against it, so it obviously wasn't your fault."
"Yes I CAN fight it!" May shouted. "But I didn't because I was enjoying it!"
Everyone looked up at May. The room became so quiet, you could hear Carolyn and Mrs. Almond gasp. All at once, May blushed. Her face became so red; you couldn't tell the difference between her bandana and it.
"Sit down!" whispered Drew as he pulled May back to her seat.
"W-well." Norman cleared his throat. "If you want to be punished that badly."
"I don't want to." whispered May. "I-I just don't think it's fair."
Norman sighed and looked over at his wife. "What should we do?"
"What she wants." answered Carolyn. "Punishment."
"I think," said Mr. Almond, eying both adults. "That we shouldn't allow them to see each other for some time."
"How long?" asked Mrs. Almond.
"Until we move."
May's eyes widened with fear. "WHAT! You mean I-I can't see Drew until you move! But what are the chances of us seeing each other after that?"
"You should've thought of that." said Mr. Almond, standing up. "Before you got yourselves in this mess."
"Where are you going dear?" asked Mrs. Almond, also standing up.
"Its eleven twenty Helen," answered Mr. Almond with a yawn. "I'm going for a nap."
"I guess we should go now." Norman stood up and reached out for Carolyn's hand. "May?"
"I'm coming." She answered with no intention of actually moving.
Norman nodded and thanked Mr. and Mrs. Almond for having them over. He shook each of their hands and laughed when Mr. Almond said a joke. Why were they so happy? They had just made two lives miserable, and still they could go on smiling? It wasn't any normal two lives either, it was their own flesh and blood, and they hardly seemed to notice. May could feel herself crying. No, she felt the need to cry. She felt the need to just curl up into a ball and cry. There was someone screaming inside of her. Deep inside of her, there was a girl, locked in a cage May had made long ago. Her emotions, that's what the cage was marked as. Her emotions. The girl was her, or maybe it wasn't. It was so dark inside of her; you could hardly tell how the girl looked. And soon, the girl wouldn't be alone. There would be a baby growing somewhere there as well. The girl with no name was screaming. She was screaming her lungs out. It's not fair! She screamed daily. Life's not fair is what May had thought. Do you actually believe that! She was asked constantly. ALL LIES! They feed you these lies so you will be just like them with no mind of your own!
I don't believe you said May. But truly, she sometimes gave it a thought. WHY DON'T YOU LET ME LEAVE? screamed the girl, over and over again. But May never let her leave, she was afraid of what would happen if she did.
This girl, her "emotions" was created when May was about ten, when she was taught to be polite. Where politeness came, there was no room for anger and rudeness. So May's anger was kept inside of her, creating, always slowly creating this girl who will never be complete. Because May's anger will always come. And maybe that's one of the reasons she was so comfortable with Drew. They didn't always argue. But when they did, she never held back. And he didn't either, not much anyway. But what about Drew? May turned to her boyfriend, sitting on the chair beside her own. She expected him to be sad, or at least show a hint of emotion. But he sat slumped in his chair, with a bored look on his face. Don't you even care? she wanted to ask. But she was afraid she would cry if she did. Drew noticed her staring and gave a lazy shrug in response. As if he couldn't wait for this to be over.
"May?" Norman smiled over at his daughter. "Are you coming?"
May nodded and gave Drew one last long look. Was this how they were going to spend their probable last moment together? May on the verge of tears and Drew looking out the window? No! This wouldn't be there last moment together. Their last will be more romantic, more fitting for the two of them. May stood up and followed her parents.

"May!" called Carolyn. "May! Ma-ay!" She had been calling her daughter for some time. But there was no response. The second they had gotten home, May had marched to her bedroom. At first Carolyn wanted to follow her, but Norman said it was a bad idea and it was best to give May some space.
Carolyn wasn't the one who wanted to punish May, and yet, she felt guilty. She was calling May because she wanted her to check out a book about pregnancy. At least learn what happened inside of her instead of just saying it was a baby. May had to act differently now that there were going to be two mouths to feed. But May was still locked up in her room, probably crying.
Carolyn admitted that it was not fair to ban her daughter from seeing her boyfriend, the same one she had been seeing for years. Carolyn sighed and went back to her cooking.
Max entered the kitchen a few minutes later, and after sensing the atmosphere, decided to say nothing and headed straight for the refrigerator.
"No Max." said Carolyn, smiling down at her son. "You're going to spoil your dinner."
"Mom, it's 2 o' clock, why are you making dinner when lunch was just two hours ago?"
Carolyn shrugged. "Oh, I don't know. I have a show coming on later and I think it's best to make dinner now so I won't miss it."
"Oh." Max pulled out a soda can and plopped onto a stool across from Carolyn.
"Do you know where your sister is? I need her to get something for me."
"Training?"
"Where were you right now?"
"Training." Max took a sip of his pop. "By the way, Cindy's coming over."
"Cindy?" Carolyn turned to the sink to wash her hands. "Isn't that the girl you have a crush on?"
"No. She's the girl I travel with."
"But don't you..?"
"No." The young boy stared across the kitchen. "Anyway, she's coming over to stay awhile before we all leave next month."
"And when did you just learn of this?"
"When I talked to her this morning. But that's not important."
"What's important then?"
"That you say yes to her coming over."
Carolyn reached over to Max's hair and petted it. "Of course your girlfriend… I mean, friend can stay."
"Thanks." Max pulled away from Carolyn's reach. "Um, what happened to May?"
"Well…" Carolyn rubbed her chin. "Maybe I can tell you."

May smiled as she heard Max enter the kitchen. Now was the time to make her get away. Just as they planned, Max would keep Carolyn busy as May made her way to Carolyn's car and drove to Drew's so they could share one last moment together. "Thank-you Max." whispered the grateful brunette as she slipped through her window.
Flashback
May fell onto her bed in tears. This wasn't fair. She lay on her stomach while screaming into her pillow. She wasn't going to allow this; she wasn't going to allow her parents to punish her with that. She and Drew had slowly built a life together for so many years and just like that, Norman and Carolyn thought they could just kill it? Well, no. May sat up, clutching tightly onto her pillow. She had to sneak out, yeah, that would be her plan. But how? How would she sneak out when Carolyn was clearly out on guard duty and Max outside training? May's chin quivered uncontrollably. What would she do then?
"May?"
May looked over at her doorway to see Max standing there. He was shirt-less and on his way to the bathroom to shower. "Max."
"What's wrong?" asked Max entering his sister's bedroom. He stayed a safe distance away from her, knowing the stench of his sweat wouldn't help.
May looked away immediately. Here she was, the OLDER one, and yet Max was the one always there to help her.
"What's wrong?" He asked again, concerned about his sister's well-being. He had heard his family coming into the house earlier and had to tell Cindy that he had to go. He had heard May running to her bedroom and slamming the door shut. It worried him, and it worried him even more when she spent more than an hour in her room.
May took in a deep breath and turned to her younger brother. "EVERYTHING!" She exploded.
"You're going to have to be more specific if you want me to help you." said Max, taking a seat on May's computer chair.
"Aw Max. It's a long story. But I can't see Drew any more!" May squeezed her pillow tightly. "I don't know what I'm going to do Max. I want to see him so badly but I can't slip out while mom's in the kitchen. She'll tell dad and dad will kill me!"
Max closed his eyes and sighed. "I'll keep mom busy and you go."
"No, it won't…" May looked up. "No, really?"
Max shrugged. "Yeah, why not? It seems like you like Drew a lot so go."
May gasped. "Really! OMG! OMG! OMG! I love you Max!"
"I love me too." Max grinned. "Just don't do anything that will get you in any more trouble."
"I won't!"
End of Flashback
May pulled into Drew's driveway and pulled Carolyn's key's out of its slot. It was just a matter of seconds until she saw Drew. She smiled to herself, he would probably happy with her for taking such risks. After all, May was not known to take risks.
May opened her car door and made sure it was locked before making her way towards The Almonds' house. Suddenly, she felt butterflies in her stomach. Which was crazy because she's been going to Drew's house for years, so why did she feel nervous now? Or maybe she wasn't nervous, maybe she was just excited. But as May reached for the door, her fist shook. Which meant she was nervous. "Nothing to worry about." She whispered before giving the door three knocks. She expected Drew to open the door with a smile or at least open the door. But no one came. He's not home She thought miserably. And then she remembered Max stalling for her at home. May reached for the doorknob, and by complete luck, it opened. Drew was not one to keep his doors unlocked, even if he was home.
May entered the small house quietly, for it seemed that if she made the smallest of noises, the whole house would break. She walked into the living room expecting a sleeping Drew, but no one. The kitchen was left dry and the family room was empty. The only place left was his room.
May slowly crept up the stairs, careful to not make them creak. The butterflies in her stomach flurried around as she reached the second floor. This was it, if Drew wasn't in his room, he wasn't here at all. May gulped as she walked towards Drew's door. That's when a sinking feeling reached her; she could hear Drew in there. Which should've made her smile, but it didn't. Because he was moaning and there was a sound of a girl's high pitched laughter. May sighed, it meant nothing. So what if Drew had a girl over his house? May was planning to spend a month with Ash.
She took in a deep breath before opening the door, and after doing so, she immediately regretted it.
As the door swung open, May could see Drew, quickly sitting up in bed. And beside him a girl with short black hair and a blue highlight scurrying to cover herself with the blanket.

They were both naked. They were both in bed.

"May?"
"Drew."
The two of them stared at each other. May, with a shocked and hurt look in her eyes. And Drew with a surprised and sad look in his eyes. "May, I'm…"
"Drew!" screamed the girl beside him. "Who is this girl, Drewy! Why is she here?"
"Be quiet Amy!" whispered Drew. He then turned his attention to May. "Look, I-I'm sorry."
May gasped for words, but nothing came. It took so long for her brain to comprehend the fact that Drew was cheating on her.
Don't just stand there! shouted the girl inside of her. DO SOMETHING! HE'S CHEATING ON YOU!
May stood there staring at Drew, as if waiting for something to happen. Any other idiot would have ran out of the room by now. But May, May couldn't find the strength to even talk.
"Listen, I wanted to tell you. I swear May. I-I didn't want you to find out this way."
Find out what? asked the girl inside of May. That you're cheating on me?
"Drewy! Get her OUT!" screamed Amy.
Drew quickly pulled off the covers to reveal jeans. He jumped out of bed and pushed May out of his room.
GET YOUR CHEATING HANDS OFF OF ME! shouted the girl while May stood there, speechless.
When they reached downstairs, Drew fell onto the couch and sighed, as if he weren't the one to blame.
Now's your chance! Tell him off!
May felt her knees getting weak and slowly sat onto the floor. "I can't do it."
"DO what?" asked Drew.
May's mouth curved downward. I can't do this relationship with you anymore! "I can't breakup with you."
No you idiot! You're giving him power! Let me talk!
"You can't break up with me?" Drew had a hint of relief in his voice. "Really?"
No! Say NO!
"Yes." May allowed her head to fall into her hands expecting tears, but they never came.
"A-are you sure May? You're not hurt?"
NO! I'm not sure! And I am hurt!
May nodded and looked back up at Drew. He looked so sexy with his chest bare and his jeans sagging a little revealing his blue boxers. She didn't want to let him go, although she was expected to, she didn't want to. She was in love with him, and even though he had cheated on her, her love for him could never be erased.
DUMP HIM!
"May?" Drew stood up and helped May up until they were both standing and staring into each other's eyes. May stared into Drew's beautiful green eyes, the same one she had stared into for so many years, the same one she had envied for so long. Drew closed his eyes and began leaning forward to kiss May. And May, was ready for it.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? HE JUST CHEATED ON YOU!
May closed her eyes and noticed tears finally coming through. They raced down her cheeks leaving a rosemary red blush. May pushed Drew away before they're lips linked together.
Drew looked surprised at May's rejection. "I thought you said you couldn't break up with me."
"I can't." said May looking away. "But that doesn't mean I won't."
Drew frowned and looked towards the floor. "So that means you're breaking up with me?"
"Yes…" May choked up and headed towards Drew's door. "Drew…" She said as she opened it. "We're breaking up." May ran out the door and slammed it shut.
Drew sighed and looked towards the door. "I figured much."
