Season Two: Ep. 2

Alexis wasn't in school today.
I got home and went to my brothers room. My parents were out.
"Hey bro." I said as I opened the door.
I was greeted by thick smoke.
"Shut the door." he said.
my brother wasn't a major stoner, but he smoked pot sometimes.
i didn't care.
"can we talk?" i asked him.
"While i'm stoned?" he asked. "you must be desperate."
"Yah...I'm in deep shit."
"What happened." he asked.
i breathed heavily, sucking in the smoke.
"i think Alexis might be pregnant."
He coughed and wheezed for a good two minutes.
"didn't you fuckin wear a condom?" he asked.
"it broke." I said.
"shit...here." he handed me the joint.
i needed a smoke. i sucked in the smoke, then coughed it out.
pot wasn't my thing.
"did she do the pregnancy test yet?" he asked me.
"lemme call her."
i picked up the phone and dialed.
"hello." I voice greeted me.
"hey, is alexis there?"
"yes, hold please."
It was her mom. she spoke proper english.
"hello?" alexis.
"alexis..." i spoke softly
"kris...listen..." i knew what she was going to say...she hated me
"my parents don't know...i'm not going to tell them."
"what, that we had sex?"
"no...I took the test...i'm pregnant." she spoke softly.
"oh god...listen...just come over...please." i said.
"fine" she hung up.
I slowly putthe reciever down.
"she's gonna have a baby." i said to my brother.
he looked at me.
"what you gonna name it?"

alexis came over that night.
we were in my room just sitting there.
"what are we going to do...?" i asked her.
she walked towards me. I stood up.
she put her hands on my face.
"you know I love you...but this wasn't supposed to happen...oh god..." she put her hands down and covered her face. she looked back up at me. a tear was rolling down her cheek.
"shh..." i went to kiss her.
she moved her head. i looked at her.
"why don't you..." i looked at her and trailed off.
something in my eyes gave it away...she knew what i was about to say.
"fuck...no. no...i can't...abortion..."
"we have to...it's the only thing that will stop you from having a baby"
"are you fucking kidding me?" tears were streaming down her face. "my parents think i'm still a virgin." the tears were rolling down her face so fast...
"alexis, stop it..." I tried to calm her.
"do you have any idea how i feel? I'm going to have a child..."
she looked at me. her eyes were deep...
"your child." she said.
that hit me. that made me realize, it was my kid. i was a father...
then she turned away.
"what?" i said.
"but i'm not sure."
"what are you not sure of?" i asked her.
"i have to leave, now." she ran out. I chased her.
"wait, what? what aren't you sure of?"
she slammed the front door, got in her car and drove away.
i needed to know...i thought over our talk...
then it hit me...
" 'do you have any idea how i feel? I'm going to have a child...your child....but i'm not sure.' "
oh god no....she doesn't know if i'm the father......she...slept with someone else...
i couldnt speak another word.
i just layed down in my bed with the lights off, and tears rolled down my cheek.
