Teddy and DAAANCE!!!! 2.0 #8

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Braiden

They were lying. Every single one of them were hateful, nasty liars. There was no way Annie would do that. No possible way.
Ever since I arrived at school Monday morning, I've heard people talking about the party last night. But not just about how awesome it had been. I hadn't gone, because I had had a huge test to study for, but I had told Annie to go without me. And now people were saying that he...
No. Not Annie. Not to me.
But I couldn't find him. He wasn't at my locker like usual, wasn't in class. He wasn't anywhere. Except, by the time second hour ended, I realized that Annie was everywhere: the walls, the lockers, the bathrooms. Pictures of Annie everywhere, everywhere, everywhere. Stopping in front of one of the larger ones, I stared at it with growing shock, horror, hurt, betrayel. And tears. Hot, burning tears building up, threatening to spill over.
Because Annie wasn't alone in the picture.
He was with a girl. In bed.
Obiously baked.

(Did I move too fast with Braiden finding out?)

Andrew (Annie)

Looking past Widow, I saw my clock. I was so late for class.
" S*it!" I cursed and hopping out of bed, despite my aching body. I'd take a pill once I got to school. I changed my shirt quickly to a white one and pulled off my shoes, running out of my apartment. It didn't take more then 5 minutes for me to get to school, since I had been running, and got there just as the bell rand, signaling the end of second period. i hurried inside, wiping my forehead. That run actually did help me a bit, I felt slightly better.

As I walked through the hallway, people seeme to be looking at me a lot, staring at me like some sort of animal. Weird. As I got close to our locker, I saw Braiden standing in front of something, looking.
" Hey babe, sorry i was late. I just woke up," i said to him, reaching forward and touching his shoulder gently, not yet getting a look at the picture.

(( It's fine! ^^ ))

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Braiden

I felt like I couldn't breathe, couldn't see, couldn't do anything except feel the hurt and the humiliation and the grief build up inside. The rumors had been true. Annie had...had...
No! No, this was just a dream. A nightmare. I'd wake up, go to school, great Annie at our lockers, tell him about this stupid dream, then he'd laugh and kiss me and call me silly. That he'd never do something like this. That he loved me. That-
I jumped when I heard his voice, felt his hand on my shoulder, and then I knew. I wasn't dreaming. The picture was real. The lies were real. The agony was real.
And I suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Don't touch me!" I cried out, shoving him away with a strength even I didn't know I possessed, whirling on him. "Don't you ever touch me again, you dirty liar!" A sob escaped on the last word, and I whirled around once again, fleeing down the hallway, ignoring the looks, the whispers, the pictures. Everything, everything, everything. I just wanted to get outside, away from the school, away from Annie, away from the hurt and the betrayel and the hot, hot tears racing each other down my cheeks.
Away.

(Haha, cool. I wasn't sure. XP And I hope you knew I meant naked, not baked. - _ -')

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Oh, I feel so bad!!!! I'm sorry Braiden!!! T.T Annie didn't mean to hurt you! He loves you!! ))

Andrew (Annie)

Suddenly shoved and yelled at, I didn't know what I had done wrong. Whatever it was, Braiden was angry with me. Seeing his tears, it hurt me. And then he ran. But I didn't go after him, just now noticing the picture. My eyes widened and everything that happened last night came back to me.
I had slept with someone else.
A girl.
I had slept with a girl.
I cheated on Braiden...
" Braiden, wait!" I yelled, turning around and quickly following him. I needed to explain. Wanted to explain.

(( Haha, yeah, I figured XD ))

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Haha. Braiden's probably not in the most reasonable moods right now... Q n Q)

Braiden

God, it hurt. It hurt so much. I felt as though my heart had been ripped from my chest and cut apart into tiny, tiny pieces. I heard Annie shout behind me, but I didn't care. I didn't care, didn't care, didn't care. Finding a side door that led outside, I burst through it, trying to make a break for it, to get away from the footsteps chasing after me. But in the back of my mind, I knew that Annie would catch up. He was a runner; I wasn't. He could always outrun me ten times, and still have more energy than me. But that didn't stop me from trying.

(See? This is exactly what I mean by spotting my mistakes after rereading a post. > . <')

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Dude, dude, dude, dude. Plot twist. Plot twist plot twist plot twist. What if the girl Annie slept with got pregnant?)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Dance....I think that you are trying to make Annie feel worse and worse xD But yeah, I do like that. It would be very, very dramatic, but awful for all three of them lol ))

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( No, Braiden comes back!! XD ))

Andrew (Annie)

" Braiden, wait!" I yelled as he ran out of the door, myself just a few moments later. God, when he was mad, he was a much faster runner then usual. Still, I was on the track team, one of the fastest runners too. I caught up with him and grabbed his arm with one hand, my other hand wrapping around his waist so he didn't fall and hurt himself. Breathing heavily, I held hims against myself so he couldn't run away.
" Please...Braiden...I'm sorry. I didn't...I was drunk," I said in between breaths.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Ahaha, yup. I'm evil. >:P But I was thinking that the girl approaches Annie and tells him. I was also thinking that the girl wants to get rid of it, but Annie tells her no, so they're seen together more and more, which makes Braiden suspect Annie's love for him more and more. But when the baby's born, the girl leaves it with Annie and disappears, leaving Annie clueless as to how to care for his kid. Theeeen, maybe Braiden could somehow step in to help, only wanting to help care for the baby at first, and that's how those two gradually begin to grow closer again?)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Awwwww, I like that idea now!! Annie's gonna be a daddy!! XD At first he won't know what in the holy hell to do with the thing, but he'll eventually warm up to it and love the baby, and Braiden of course, when they start dating again ^w^ ))

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Haha, nope. ;P)

Braiden

Sure enough, I felt a hand grab my arm, then an arm wrap around my waist, and I was suddenly pulled against a broad chest, one that I had cuddled against and kissed and hugged so, so many times. "Let me go!" I screamed, struggling against Annie's strong hold, my whole body shaking as my sobs grew more violent at his words. "Let me go! Just let me go..." I knew it was pointless, but I still struggled, refusing to let myself melt against his hold, to believe his words. To forgive him. "You lied to me." I sobbed, finally giving up in my struggles, my head sagging forward. "You said you loved me. You said you'd always love me. How could you do this to me, Annie? How could you do this to us? How could you?!" As if finding a sudden strength in my words, I began thrashing again, desperate to break out of his hold. I wanted answers, but at the same time, I didn't want to hear any more lies come out of that mouth I had loved so much. I just couldn't handle anymore lies.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Haha, he'll never stop loving Braiden. ;P Annnd, don't tell Braiden never stopped loving him. XD)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew (Annie)

" Honey...Baby boy, please...Please calm down. I'm sorry, I was a mistake and I didn't mean to. I had a drink at the party, and then I guess I had some more and...ended up doing...that. I love you so much, I'm sorry," I said to him as he began thrashing around, both my arms wrapping around his waist then and holding him against me. My voice cracked as I spoke my words, tears pricking at my eyes.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Lol, Annie does love Braiden, a lot XD ))

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Haha, and Braiden loves Annie. He's just reaaallly pissed at him. > . > Also, I think it'd be adorable to have them bond over Annie's kid. ^ ^)

Braiden

Lies, lies, lies. All lies. When he called me baby boy, I began sobbing harder, shaking my head violently. "Don't call me that! Don't call me that!" I shouted, growing tired the more I struggled, my throat feeling raw from my screaming. He wanted me to calm down? I was feeling betrayed and hurt and lied to and he was telling me to calm down? "Liar! You're lying again!" I insisted, struggling, not liking the fact that both arms were around my waist now, keeping me in place. And then suddenly, I stilled. "Why did it have to be a girl?" I asked quietly, voice strained and filled with obvious agony. "Out of all the 'mistakes' you could have done, why did it have to be a girl?"

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( It is going to be adorable XD ))

Andrew (Annie)

" I...I don't know Braiden, I don't know. It wasn't...I didn't want to. I mean...I suppose at the time...but if I wasn't drunk and thinking straight...Honey, it never would have happened," I continued to try and calm down, even though deep down, I knew that there was no way that my love was going to. If he did this to me...well, I'd probably be doing the same things that's he's doing. Trying to run away from me.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Yes. Yes it is. XP)

Braiden

Every word Annie said seemed to only make things worse, not better. But I had given up trying to break free of his hold, though I my sobs didn't cease. Neither did my pain, my anger, the betrayel I felt. "I don't believe you." I murmured, voice coming out as a soft, broken whimper, and I didn't even care how pathetic it made me sound. "I don't believe you. Just let me go, Andrew. Let me go!" Using Annie's name surprised me, but at that moment I was somehow suddenly able to break free, whirling around and facing Annie-Andrew-with fresh anger. "I don't want you to touch me anymore." I said, voice shaking and thick with tears. "I don't want you to talk to me. I don't even want you to look in my direction anymore. We're done." Even as I said the words, my heart shattered again, but I had to remain strong with this. I wasn't the one who had broken us up. Annie-damnit, Andrew-had. He was the one who had slept with that girl. He was the one who had shattered our relationship, our trust. Our friendship.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew (Annie)

My eyes widened when my real name was used, Braiden never, ever called me Andrew. Even when we first met, my name Andrew wasn't said after a week. It was always Annie. When Braiden whirled around, declaring that we were finished, that's what the tears started. They rolled down my face cheeks, dripping onto my shirt. It was my fault to, all of this. I lowered my head, making no move to touch or talk to Braiden again.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Braiden

Seeing Anni-Andrew, cry only rubbed salt in the wounds, but I did not relent. I could no longer trust myself, my heart with him, and how could I? He had already shattered it. Hearing the bell ring, signaling the beginning of third hour, I swallowed hard, hugging myself, trying to summon up the comfort I so desperately needed. I opened my mouth, then closed it. No. He didn't deserve a farewell. He didn't deserve anything right now. So without saying another word, I turned, not caring that I was ditching class, and walked away from the boy I had thought had loved me as much as I had loved him.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

Even when the bell rang and Braiden walked away, I did not move. I couldn't. I wasn't going to go after him, but i wasn't going to go back into school either. Sobbing softly, i tried to regain myself, tried to calm down long enough before I started heading home. But honestly, how could I? I just lost the one person that meant the most to me, the only person that I really loved. He was gone now, and he was not coming back. Instead of waiting until I calmed down, I started walking back towards my house, wiping at my eyes and trying not to make a noise.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(I see what you did there. And it makes me kind of sad. :()

Braiden

Where was I even going? School was out, and home...I'd be there with my dying mother while Dad is working and Aiden is at school. And, honestly, I didn't feel like facing yet somebody else who I was losing right now. The only other place I could go...No. No, that was never going to be an option anymore. So, where else can a heartbroken boy go when he's in need of comfort? The ice cream parlor, of course. Ice cream obviously can't mend a broken heart, but damnit, it would serve as a much needed distraction. And a motiation to excercise.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Do you mean the name thing? lol ))

Andrew

Slowly, I headed back to my house, my adoptive parents at work at the moment. Probably to just go back to sleep, curl up with Widow and cry myself to sleep. It took about 10 minutes to get there and I unlocked the door, greeted by my cat. As soon as I saw her, I began to cry again, sobs escaping my throat as I slid down the door. Widow meowed at me and walked over to me, climbing on my legs and rubbing her cheek against me. I held her close to myself gently, burying my face into her fur.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Yes. It actually made me sad. DX)

Braiden

I soon found out that the ice cream had been a baaad idea. Not only did I not have an appetite for the cold and sickly sweet substance, but it just reminded me of all the times that Ann-Andrew and I had shared ice cream from this very parlor. No matter what we got, we'd always share our ice cream cones, as well as sticky kisses afterwards. The memories caused an agonizing pang to shoot through me, and I swallowed hard, burying my face against my knees. I was sitting under a tree...somewhere, trying to lose myself in anything that didn't remind me of what I had lost. Which, come to find out, was absolutely everything.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Hehe, it'll come back when they start talking again, in 9 months their time XD ))

Andrew

I remained like that for a while, just openly crying and holding my cat. After about 15 minutes, I stood up, a bit shaky, Widow still in my arms and walked into my room. Sitting down on the bed, I set Widow down next to me and looked around. There were pictures of Braiden and I everywhere, no matter where I looked there was one. I took the one of him that I kept by my night table and laid down, holding the picture as sobs racked my body again. Widow came over to me and curled up near my stomach, obviously trying to make me feel better. It wasn't helping.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Haha, I hope so. I genuinely have trouble writing Andrew instead of Annie. I got used to it. XD Annd...I don't really know what else to write for Braiden, so skip, maybe? ^ ^')

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Haha, good XD I might struggle. And yeah, we can skip to...either to next day, or 2 weeks later, when Andrew realizes that he got the girl pregnant. ))

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Hm...Maybe two weeks later, when Annie finds out? And did you want me to play the girl?)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Okay ^^ And if you can, yeah ))

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Alright. X) Who vants to start?)

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

(( Can you? :3 ))

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

(Okey-dokes. X))

A girl with long black hair and prettt green eyes waltzed into the school one day as if she owened the place. Eyes scanning the crowded hallway, it was easy to spot the one she was looking for. Sashaying her way over to him, she tugged on Andrew's arm. "Annndreew." she drawled, though she sounded slightly panicked. "I'm Cristi. From the party? Can I talk to you for a few moments? Alone?"

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

Standing at my locker, I wasn't expecting anyone to come up to me. Since Braiden broke up with me, no one has. My myself, well, I've been a pretty big wreck. Haven't eaten much, don't get sleep, I think my adoptive parents are starting to worry to. When the girl with black hair tugged on my arm, I looked at her and my eyes widened, knowing who she was before she even said she was from the party.
" What are you going here?" I questioned her, glancing around," Do you even go to this school?"

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Cristi bit her bottom lip in annoyance, trying to tug Andrew away. "That doesn't matter right now." she muttered, glancing around nervously. "I really need to talk to you about what happened at the party. Right now."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

I couldn't stop the loud sigh that came to my lips, looking around. if Braiden saw me with her, he'd think something that wasn't true....Braiden....Pushing him back in my thoughts, I closed my locker.
" Fine...," I replied through gritted teeth, wanting nothing to do with this girl.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Swallowing hard, Cristi nodded, taking Anrew's hand and leaving him towards a more private area. Then, turning to Andrew, she licked her lips, took a deep breath, and blurted out, "I'm pregnant. And I'm pretty sure it's yours."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

I followed the girl, despite really, really not wanting to. When she said those few words, my heart nearly stopped in my chest.
" What?!" I couldn't help but yell, my body heating up," Are you sure? Did you get a blood test? Sperm test? Whatever the hell test that you get to check whose the daddy?!"

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Cristi narrowed her eyes at Andrew's outburst, crossing her arms over her chest. "I'm not a slut, thankyouverymuch." she growled, tossing her hair over her shoulders. "It's only been two weeks since then, and I was late this month. Bought myself a magical pee stick and voila. Positive." She rolled her eyes, though it was clear that she was also freaking out a little. "And it's too early to run a blood test or whatever. It doesn't matter, anyways. I'm not planning on keeping it." She bit her lip, hesitating. "I just, you know, someone to drive me to the clinic in order to get it done. Nobody else knows about this except you."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

" What? No no no no no no, you have to keep it, especially if it's my baby. I'm not gonna let you kill it, or give it up for adoption. What if a druggie adopts it, huh?" I replied to her, not liking the idea of having a kid, but not liking the idea of giving it up either. I was never one to like kids, but giving them up or killing them was wrong in my eyes.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Cristi frowned, pursing her lips in distaste. "Excuse me, mister, but is your body going to stretch in places they really shouldn't? All you are is the donor; I'm the one who has to carry the thing for nine months. How do you think I feel about that?"

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

I ran my fingers through my hair, beginning to pace back and forth. Thinking for a moment, I looked at her.
" Look...just...please, don't kill it and don't give it up. I'll...I'll help you during the pregnancy, anything that you need, I'll get it for you, okay? If you feel sick, I'll even rub your belly and stay with you until you feel better, whatever it is. Just...don't kill it or give it up," I begged her, meaning every word that I said. I had no idea how to take care of a damned baby, but still...

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Cristi's eyes followed Andrew as he began pacing, biting her bottom lip in thought over his words. Sure, having a baby was the last thing on her 'To Do' list, but what girl could turn down the offer of a guy waiting on her hand and foot? Finally, she let out a heavy sigh, braiding her hair almost nervously. "Fine." she muttered after a while, not meeting Andrew's gaze. "Fine. I'll keep the stupid baby." Her eyes flickered up to Andrew, and she fixed him with a stern, cold stare. "You better not jump ship as soon as its born." she growled, crossing her arms over her chest once again.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

" I wouldn't do that, I promise. Okay?" I replied to her, stopping my pacing and looking at her. I was glad that she wasn't going to kill the baby, that was the last thing that I would want.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Cristi let out a slow breath, disturbing her bangs. Then she nodded, licking her lips. "Fine." she repeated, shiffting her weight from foot to foot. "So...Now that I'm apparently having this baby of yours, now what? Do we go about our usual business until I get fat, or what?"

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

" Well....I don't really know. I suppose you should tell your parents if you live with them anyways. And if you go to school and do gym, don't get too involved in it. Once you get about 3 months in, you should stop all together, and by 6 or 7 months, you shouldn't go to school anymore. Well, for the time anyways," I explained to her, trying to remember and thinking of what would be best to keep her and the baby safe and healthy.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Cristi frowned as Andrew spoke, pursing her lips. "I still don't understand why I'm having this baby in the first place." she whined, flipping her hair over her shoulder. Then she sighed. "But if it gets me out of gym..." she murmured, trying to look on the bright side. Crossing her arms over her chest, she stared up at Andrew. "So...Does this mean that we're going to see a lot more of each other?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. Honestly, she wasn't quite sure how she felt about that.

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

" We don't have a choice. I honestly don't trust you to be careful with that baby inside of you. Do you smoke, drink, do drugs?" I said to her, raising an eyebrow. I was not happy what-so-ever about needing to spend time with her, but I had a feeling that if I wasn't, she'd kill the baby someway, somehow.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Cristi rolled her eyes, narrowing them at Andrew. "Please. Have a little more faith in me." she snarked, curling her lip up in distaste. "I don't smoke or do drugs, and the only time I drank was at that party where we hooked up. Obviously, drinking is never going to be on my To-Do List anytime soon."

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

" Good! Do not do it!! Any of it," I said to her, emphasizing my words clearly to her. I had a nagging feeling that she was going to mess it up somehow, someway.

[(╯`▭´）╯︵ ǝɔnɒꓷ]

Crisit gave Andrew an annoyed look. "What are you, my mother now?" she snipped, sniffing in distaste. "I've already got one of those, I don't need another one, thankyouverymuch." Glancing up at the clock, she frowned at the time, sighing. "Looks like I have to get back to class soon." she stated. She looked back at Andrew. "So seeing as we're going to be seeing more of each other now, should I stop by again tomorrow after school?"

[TeddyBear {HarpyAshe} **Well You Built Up A World Of Magic, Cause Your Real Life Is Tragic**]

Andrew

At least you have a mother..
Sighing, I couldn't help but think that. Sure, I never knew my parents, so I shouldn't care about them, normally I didn't. But sometimes thoughts like that came to me.
" Yes. Just..don't barge in and strut in like you own the school. Be...discrete when you come here, okay?" I told her, sighing and taking out my phone," What's your number?"
