Jase's POV

I am so excited. Today is Monday and Lacey said on Friday that she would come talk to me. I waited the whole weekend for Monday to finally be here.

Damn I sound like a girl don't I?

Oh well.

Today is really important. And I want everything to go perfect. I need Lacey to forgive me.

The bell rings for 1st period to begin so I hurry and walk to Lacey's locker then put in her combination. Putting the red roses in her locker I smile then shut the door.

Lacey's POV

I decided to give Jase another chance. I walk to his locker and see Hope leaning on it. He is a few feet away from her and looks pissed off. Hiding behind the wall I stand and listen to their conversation. I know I shouldn't but I really feel the need to.

"What do you want?" I hear Jase ask.

"I need to talk to you." Hope whines.

"No just leave me alone." I hear his footsteps disappear then Hope's heels clicking after him.

"Jase! I'm pregnant!"

"You're what?!"

I don't hear anymore of their conversation because I'm already running off to the bathroom. I lock myself in a stall and start to cry as I think about the fact that Jase and I can't be together as I hoped and planned.

Jase's POV

"I said I'm pregnant."

"So?"

"It's yours." I turn to her with a look of disbelief on my face.

"No no no no no." I say as I pace around. Back and forth beside the row of lockers. This can't be happening.

"I have the test. You want to see it?" She holds up the pregnancy test. It has a pink plus sign on it.

Hell.

"No no. This can't be right. I only had sex with you once. And that was like 4 or 5 weeks ago."

"Exactly." She smiles sadly. Probably because she doesn't want her figure to go away. "I mean I don't want it. I'll probably have an-"

"Don't you dare say an abortion! That's my child too! I may not like you. But you will not kill my baby!"

Hell no she's not going to kill my child. I mean I will love the baby the same even though I wish the mom was another person.

"It's my body Jase!"

"Is that the only thing you care about?! Your fucking body?! You don't care if you kill a freaking innocent human being?!"

"I don't want to walk around and be known as the pregnant girl Jase. Everyone will look at me weird and laugh. I won't have the baby's father by my side because he's running after another girl!"

"No you won't. I'm running after another girl because she's worth it. You're not. I don't want you because you're a bitch. You're a liar, you ruin peoples lives. Lacey is generous, sweet, caring, smart, and beautiful."

"Yeah yeah yeah. We all know. You said all that before. But I don't see it."

"You wouldn't. You only look at her to compare all the things she had to you. And what about everyone will laugh at you? Everyone will think I'm a total manwhore. You're pregnant with my baby and I'm in love with my best friend. How will my friends take it. My parents will hate me and never trust me again. My mom doesn't even like you. Imagine her face when I tell her you are pregnant."

"Well maybe you should of worn a condom."

"Yeah I should've. And maybe you shouldn't had been a whore and seduced me when I was in a bad mood."

"Oh please you're always in a bad mood when Lacey and Lance are together. Do you not realize that she will leave you for him? And then you are left with me."

"Me and Lance are good now. We're friends. I know how much he loves her but he knows how much me and Lacey like each other. He wouldn't be a conniving liar like you."

"Haha oh you are so funny Jase. I know I'm a liar. But know that I'm not lying when I say if I go down I'm taking you down with me. I will not walk into school with everyone thinking that the father of my child left me to be with another girl."

"Your child?" I scoff. "Oh please. Just a second ago you were talking about aborting it. That baby in your stomach is my child. And I'm not sorry when I say that I want nothing to do with you. When you have birth to my child I'm taking him or her away from you. I will raise the baby. And you can go back to your whore ways. Because I can never see you as a good mother."

"Oh really Jase and who do you see as a good mother to my baby?" I start to walk away from her.

"Hmm?" I turn the corner.

"Is it Lacey?" I stop and look at Hope.

"Hell yeah it's Lacey."

Walking to Lacey's locker I see her trying to remember her combination. She never does.

"Hey princess."

"Hi." She says bitterly and pulls at her lock.

"So you said you wanted to talk to me but you never came to my locker earlier."

"Oh yeah. I forgot." I look at her confused. She punches we locker.

"It's 15- 8- 14." She looks at me and shrugs.

"Thanks." She walks away from her locker without opening it and walks to the cafeteria. I catch up with her and walk beside her.

"You are welcome. So you wanna hang out today?"

"Nope."

"Why not it's Monday. Us and the guys always have Movie Monday."

"Yeah well I don't know about today. And my brother kinda hates you at the moment."

"Right I forgot. Are you okay?"

"No not really." She sits at the lunch table.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I like you." She says with a blank face.

"Oh okay? Well that's great because I like you too. What's so bad about liking me?"

"Hope."

"Huh?" Before she can say anything Duke comes up to the table.

"What the hell is he doing at our table?" Me and Lacey stand up as Duke stands in front of us.

"Dude calm down. I just-" I'm cut off by him punching me in the face. I wipe the blood off my busted lip.

"Jase! Are you okay?" I look down to see Lacey looking up at me worried.

"I'm fine princess, I deserved that." She dabs my bloody lip with the sleeve of her jacket.

"Hell yeah you deserved it. Now why the hell are you talking to my baby sister Rodreguiz?"

I notice it's quiet in the cafeteria. I look around to see everyone looking at me, Lacey, Duke, and the rest of the group.

"He's talking to me because I forgive him okay?!"

Duke looks her with disbelief.

"And you need to forgive him too. He was your friend first. Don't hate him for a stupid mistake he made with me."

She pulls my hand to a lunch table in the middle of the cafeteria.

"So what were you saying about Hope Lace?"

"She's pregnant."

My heart stops as I look at her serious face.

"What?"

"I overheard your conversation... How about you come over to my house after school and we can talk. Okay?"

"Yeah. That's fine. But I do want you to know that I really do like you."

She says nothing as her eyes start to water.

"I'm so sorry it took me so long to realize. I'm sorry for everything that happened."

"You really hurt me." She whispers with a broken voice as a tear slides down her face. I wipe off the tear with my thumb and hold her face in my hands.

"I know I did. I was an idiot! But I don't want to hurt you again. I-I need you princess. More than anything."

She surprises me with a kiss and not just a peck. She kisses me passionately as I kiss her back with just as much intensity. We hear the cafeteria cheer and whistle as we break apart. Deja vu.

"Freaks." She whispers.

I laugh and instantly know that everything will be okay. Then I hug her tightly and think of how much I've missed her being in my arms. And how I will never lose her again.
