Assandra and Shane made it to Shane’s house safely through the darkness. Shane opened the door and let her in. They ran into a fight between Shane’s mom and dad.
“Well, it’s your fault they disconnected the house phone! You’ve just been spending and spending on what you want!!” his mom yelled.
“Shutup, bitch! You have no attorney over me!” his dad yelled.
And his dad punched her. His mom fell backwards stunned. Shane pulled Assandra by her hand quickly up the stairs to his room.
“Is that a ho?” his dad asked him.
He was right behind Shane.
“No, she’s a friend.” Shane answered not looking at his dad.
“Really? Why are you taking her to your room?” his dad asked again.
“Because I need to talk to her privately.” Shane answered.
His dad smacked him on the back of the head.
“Don’t you take that tone against me young man!!” he said.
“yes, sir.” Shane said.
His eyes were squeezed shut. He led Assandra upstairs quicker than before. Once they reached his room he shut the door and locked it. Shane was breathing hard.
“You ok?” Assandra asked.
“Not really. I hate my dad.” Shane said.
Shane touched the back of his head. There was a blotch of warm blood because his dad had a metal nail in his hand. THis usually happened and Shane usually had scars on his head or his back. Shane got a towel from his closet and wiped the back of his head. Assandra sat on his bed.
“I’ll let you test yourself in a minute.” Shane said sitting beside Assandra.
After a few minutes, Shane got up off the bed and walked to his drawer. He took out a box and tossed it to Assandra. She caught it and stared at it oddly.
“You kept one in you drawer?” she asked.
“Just in case I had a girlfriend and we had sex, she could test herself so she would know ahead of time.” Shane answered.
“Oh ok.” Assandra said.
“The bathroom is down the hall. But I’m not letting you go alone.” Shane said.
Assandra smiled.
“Thanks a lot.” Assandra said.
“Your welcome. Well, we have known eachother for a long time. Best friends help eachother.” Shane said. “C’mon. Let’s go before my dad starts another riot.”
Assandra nodded and got up off the bed. Shane unlocked the door and looked out into the hall to make sure his dad wasn’t there. No sign of him. Shane sighed. Then, he lead Assandra to the bathroom.
“Go ahead.” Shane said.
He turned away and faced the door to give Assandra her privacy. When Assandra was done, she flushed the toilet. There was a moment of silence. Shane turned around.
“I’m pregnant.” Assandra said.
Shane sighed.
“Oh Assandra. I’m so sorry. Come here.”
Shanne held out his arms toward Assandra. Assandra burst into tears and let Shane hold her.
“Damn him.” Shane said.
“Shane, I don’t want to have a baby of my father’s.” Assandra said between sobs.
“Than, you won’t ok? You don’t have to.” Shane said.
Assandra nodded. Shane lifted her chin.
“You should get some rest ok?” he said.
“Yeah, that would be good.” Assandra said.
So Shane put his arm around Assandra and led her back to his room. He shut the door and locked it. Shane took off his boots and put them inside his closet. Then, he layed down on his bed and held his arms out to Assandra.
Assandra layed down next to Shane and cuddled into his arms. Suddenly, a rock flew through the window.
