"Hey, Lynn, quick favor. Can you— are you ok?" I ask her, walking into her room - seeing that she was on her bed sitting with her eyes closed, breathing heavily.
"Uh- ya, ya. I'm fine…" she answered, remaining in this format.
"Are you sure, because you look like you're in pain…" I say walking to and sitting on the bed with her.
"… It's just contractions… I'm fine though, trust me! It passes." She said opening her eyes to look at me, still taking deep breaths.
"Oh! Well, do you need anything?! I can help you if-"
"Luna! I'm fine. Ignore me! It passes. It's just what happens when you are 7 months- about to be 8 months pregnant. Relax." She says calmly. "See, it already passed. What did you need?"
"Oh uh… nothing. Just… wanna hang out?" I ask.
"Um, sure. To do what?"
"Oh, I don't know. We can stay here, or go somewhere if you want. I just feel like we haven't been hanging out since… well since everything happened. I just want to be close to you again- regardless of what everyone says and thinks." I told her, carefully choosing my words. She looked down to the side and thought for a while.
"I guess we can watch a movie… I don't know. Only if you want."
"Sure! Luan showed this cool one called A Noir Night not too long ago! It's pretty good."
"Alright then." She finalized. We then walked to Luan's room to get her laptop.
KNOCK. KNOCK.
"Hey, Luan. Can Lynn and I borrow your laptop?"
"Why? Can't you use yours?"
"I wanna show her the movie we watched the other day; A Noir Night." I told her.
"Hmmm…. Ok but I get to watch it with you guys! That's my deal." She finalized with crossed arms and her head held high. I turned to Lynn who just nodded slightly.
"Sure." She told Luan. We then all headed to the living room and connected the laptop to the T.V. Before sitting down, I grabbed water for Lynn seeing that she was getting another contraction. Poor thing. I really do feel bad for her, but in a way, she did ask for it. I don't like to think of her like that though because she is still my sister and I will take care of her no matter what, so whether she asked for it or not, we are not going to think about it. Getting to know her story will be the first step I take in order to get close to her again. I never like to judge people by rumors or by how things seem to be. I need the full story.
Once the movie ended, we talked for a bit about randomness until Lincoln walked in the front door. He has been out for the day working and such and just now got home around 6:15 P.M.
"Linc, can you do me a favor and come with me somewhere? Please."
"Honestly, I'm kind of tired and just want to…" He started before he noticed that Lynn was doing the sad puppy look. Rolling his eyes, he grabbed the car keys that were near the door. "Fine. Let me just change." He groaned heading upstairs. "Outgoing or casual?" He hollered from upstairs.
"Casual." She answered, not even looking back at him, but instead getting her phone from her back pocket. "I don't mean to bail on you guys, it's just that I have been needing to go somewhere and I'm finally getting the opportunity to."
"No problem. We get it." I said with a smile with Luan mimicking.

"Sooo this super important thing you had to do was go to McDonald's?" I asked her annoyed, noticing that the direction that we were heading was to the fast-food joint.
"Ummm… yes?" Lynn answered innocently as we pulled into the drive-thru. I just sighed.
Once the food was ordered, we pulled into a parking space, parked the car, and started to eat.
"So something weird happened today…" Lynn said as she took a fry out. I now turned to her direction to listen. "Luna wanted to hang out with me today, then Luan joined in. I don't know if they genuinely want to spend time with me or if they are playing some joke on me or something but… it's just strange…"
"Why would they be playing a joke on you?"
"Because everyone hates me…"
"I don't hate you. If anything, I love you a little too much!" I chuckled.
"Ha! Well ok fine. Everyone BUT you hates me."
"That's not true. Although things have gotten… shaky, you still matter to people. If it was Lori who asked you, I would speculate things, but the fact that it was Luna and Luan, I don't think you have anything to worry about."
"I guess your right… I'm still kinda upset you told Luan the truth! You're lucky she didn't blab to anyone…! WAIT! DOES LUNA KNOW?!" She asked me panicky.
"Not that I know of… I know I didn't tell her." I said questioning myself now.
"Crap! Now how do we find out without actually asking her straight up in case she doesn't know?"
"…I don't know…" I answered unsurely. "Maybe I could ask her if she has any idea who the father of the baby is as in, you know, a conversation starter… maybe? I don't know…"
"That might work, but you would have to play it off perfectly as to not create suspicion."
"*sigh* I'll try my best," I told her. Man, I love her but I'm so freaking tired that I don't have the energy to answer all her endless questions right now. She has always been so curious and I don't mind that, it's just when you wake up early for school, then go straight to work at a factory, it's hard to take it all in.

Another day, another drag. I would say everything went the same as always, but they didn't.
In English, my teacher decided to pair us up to partners for a project. I got paired with some girl named Jennifer. Usually, she sat two seats to my left, but I didn't really know her, but now, thanks to my teacher's new seating arrangements, we sit together at our now pushed together desks. All partners were like this. I don't like getting close to ANYONE at school both physically and physiologically due to my guest that I'm carrying, so this was frustrating. I found myself constantly trying to fix my sweater and arrange the way I was sitting as to avoid her eyes on me and from her speculating. This is going to be a LOOOOONNNNGGG 2 months…
"The assignment is to create a presentation on what a book- that will be drawn from this sac at random- is about. It will be displayed on a trifold board that you or your partner must provide. You will read it thoroughly, write an essay that is at least 1,000 words summarizing the book, and create your trifold presentation. Your essay will be printed on a separate paper from your trifold boards. As for the format of the boards itself, you may set it up however you wish so long as you have at least one picture, the origins of the book or author, the date it was published, how long it took to write, and how it reflects on the time period it was written during. Each of the English 2 classes has a topic. Fantasy, children books, biographies, and lucky us, classics." Our teacher said, receiving a groan from everyone. Soon enough, she came around with the sac to each of the 12 groups. Once she came to me, I stuck my hand in and picked a small piece of folded up paper. I opened it to read "Little Women by Luisa May Alcott. Page count: 528" My partner and I groaned at the length but felt resentment afterward hearing this boy named John and his partner Alexander complain at their book.
"752 PAGES?! HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO READ ALL 752 PAGES OF MOBY-DICK AND MAKE THIS PRESENTATION CRAP IN ONLY 2 MONTHS?!" John yelled receiving an annoyed look from Ms. Cerroto.
"Language Mr. Laurens, and with dedication and focus, you and Alexander can read it and do the assignment just in time." She told him but he just groaned and put his head down.
"Alright Lynn, how are we doing this? One of us read and the other does the project or we both read separately and do the project together or…" Jennifer started. Facing me and counting on her fingers the options for enthusiasm.
"I say since it's a pretty long book that we both read it. Separately. The sooner we both finish it, the sooner we can get the board done. If we both read it, there is no excuse for any of us to not know what we are talking about during the essay making. Speaking of which, how will that be done?" I asked her.
"Ummmmm….. We can both work on it. When the time comes, we will figure it out." She stated.
"Ok, everyone. Here are the books. When I call them out, both you and your partner need to come up and get a copy for each of you. To Kill a Mocking bird," she said as two girls stepped up. "The Scarlet Letter" a boy and a girl rose. "Phantom of the Opera, Moby-Dick, The Great Gatsby, Fahrenheit 451, Little Women, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein, and the Crucible." She said, one by one, having students grab their books. Lucky for me, Jennifer grabbed both of the books, allowing me to remain seated. Thank God because I hated getting up while in class due to its… difficulties on me. I mean obviously I had to get up at some point, but if it could be avoided, it would. During the rest of the class, we read as far as we could. I got to the end of chapter 1 which wasn't that bad for 35 minutes considering how long it was. Based on what I've seen before, Jennifer seemed to be a kiss ass, but for now, I would have to give her the Benefit of the doubt since she was my partner and all. God, I really do hope that I don't get stuck doing all the work or I end up stuck working with someone I truly don't like.
A/N: Hey guys! I hope this chapter didn't take too long to upload, I really don't know, I don't remember when I published chapter 14. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Oh and BTW, this story first started to get written BEFORE season 2, so a lot of the things in here are based on my imagination, although I do try to add in some of the details from the newer seasons in a way that doesn't interfere with the story too much if that makes sense. Like when I first started writing this, Ronnie- Anne and her family still lived in their house in Michigan—not in the city with the rest of her family. So in the story (Before she moves to Mexico) she still lives in the house that she did previous to moving to the city. Things like that is what I mean. Sorry if that was hard to understand. Anyways, until next time since that is all I had to say. Peace!
