Johnny Cade sat in the lot, smoking a cigarette. So far, it had been a good day. He slept on the Curtis's couch, he found dollar on the street, and he was planning on going over to Kelly's later on that day for some alone time together. Yep, it had been a pretty good day so far.
And, it seemed to be getting better, because Kelly was making her way over to Johnny. Johnny took one last drag from his cigarette before he put it out. He stood up to greet his girlfriend. Johnny noticed that she seemed a little, nervous. Why would she be nervous?
"Hey," Johnny greeted shyly. Kelly forced herself to smile.
"Hi… Johnny, we need to talk." Johnny's good day went down the toilet at those words. She wanted to break up with him; he should've known that he wasn't good enough for her. Johnny's eyes must have given his turmoil away, because she quickly added, "I'm not breaking up with you, or anything." Johnny felt himself sight in relief.
"Then, what do we need to talk about?" Johnny asked as they sat down on the old car seat. Kelly bit her lip nervously, as if trying to pick her words carefully.
"Johnny, do you remember the night we first made love, three months ago?" Kelly asked. Johnny found the question to be silly; of course he remember that night. It was one of the most important nights in Johnny's life. It was the night they first said I love you to one another, and the first night they made love. How could he forget such a magical night?
"Of course I remember," Johnny answered a slight blush on his tan cheeks. "But what does that have to do with anything?"
Kelly took a deep breath. "Johnny, the condom broke."
Johnny looked confused. "What do you mean?" He asked.
Kelly looked about ready to cry by this point. "Johnny, I'm pregnant." After the words were spoken, Johnny's world went black.
Johnny woke up five minutes later, his head in Kelly's lap.
"I had the strangest dream," Johnny muttered. He sat up and turned to look at Kelly. "You came over here and you said you were pregnant." Johnny chuckled at that. "But we used a condom, so there's no way that your pregnant." Johnny's chuckles stopped after he saw the look on Kelly's face.
"Johnny, it wasn't a dream. I told you that I'm pregnant and then you fainted." Everything seemed to stop by this point. Johnny felt like crying. No, she couldn't be pregnant. They used a condom! But Two Bit gave you that condom when you were fifteen, you're nineteen now bub, a little voice told Johnny. Johnny felt like screaming. HHHhHHow could he be so stupid? He should've checked the date on the condom, but he had been too eager. He was still a virgin at age nineteen, and he wanted to make love to his girlfriend, he didn't care about the date of the condom at that point. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Johnny held his head in his hands. What had he done? He ruined Kelly's life. She had only just graduated high school last year; she was too young to be a mother! And what would they do about money and a place to live? Johnny had a job, but it was barely enough money to get him through, let alone Kelly and a growing baby! They didn't have enough money for a place either.
Johnny was crying now. He turned to look at Kelly. "Kelly, I-I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I've ruined your life." Kelly glared at him through her tears.
"Jonathan Cade, you didn't ruin my life. It takes two to tango, buddy. We both could have done more to prevent this." She took a deep breath. "I told my mom. She wants us to move in with her, until we have enough money to buy our own place." Johnny was about to protest, but Kelly shushed him with a small kiss.
"It's the only option we have, Johnny." Johnny let out a sigh. She was right, that was the only option they had.
"We'll get through this together, right?" Johnny asked his girlfriend. Kelly smiled at him.
"Yes, we will." They held each other for a while after that, neither of them saying a word. Kelly was the one to break the silence.
"Um…what are we going to tell Two Bit?" Johnny paled. He had forgotten all about Two Bit.
"Shit," Johnny cursed.
