Laila paled. Her friend was pregnant. Of all the awful things that could happen. She made one mistake and now she was pregnant. "Who was it?" She whispered. "Who's baby is it Kenna?" Her voice was soft, but it was dark. She was angry, angry with whomever had done this to her friend. Then she nodded slowly. "Of course Luke must be jealous. I'm sure you know by now that all he's ever wanted was you, and to be your first."

Kenna sobbed and leaned into her shoulder "Razor...the baby is Razor's...but you are so happy with him I don't want to spoil anything! He was trying to get to you...I was stricken by his charm and looks, I wanted to be dangerous but...see how far that got me."
Laila was shocked at first, and then she just hardened. She knew what Razor was like before last night, and she had let him get to her. All those things he said... they were probably all lies just to get to me... She realized, her gaze darkening. How could I ever think he might be different!? That kid is going to get it. He shouldn't have... She chewed her lip as a dozen nasty words entered her mind. "No, Kenna dear, don't be sorry. You just helped remind me who he is. And to think I nearly fell for him too." She ground her teeth together. "I'm so sorry Kenna, that he did this to you. I promise I'll save a punch just for your sake, ok?" She squeezed her hand. "I am very glad you got together with Luke at last, and that you told me all this. Now I have to go settle something." She stood, her fists still shaking in anger. It was almost lunch, so it wouldn't be too hard to find Razor.
McKenna grabbed her arm "please don't...Laila I'm sure he is a good guy, it was just an accident im sure that most girls are on the pill or a condom...I didn't, so I bet he feels just as awful...please Kenna, I don't want to ruin what you had this morning it was sweet..."
Laila shook her off. "Don't make excuses for that jerk Kenna. Of all people. He screwed you over. I can't allow that. He probably was planning on screwing me over too." she pulled away from her friend and stalked towards the door. "I don't plan on seeing him again after this anyways, so might as well let me punch him a couple times first." She said, pushing open the door. Luke nearly ran into Laila as he walked into the icecream shop and he raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Laila... where are you off to?" he asked, but didn't get a response. He shrugged and moved into the shop. He sat down across from Kenna and smiled gently. "I thought I'd find you here. What's wrong with Laila?"
Razor waited and checked his watch, he was excited he was taking her to his favorite restaurant and there was a poetry slam she might like it but most likely they would mock it after and have a good laugh.Kenna shook her head and covered her face "she's going after him...I shouldn't have said anything! Now shes going to kill him and I ruined it...it shouldn't have happened..."
((I feel bad for Razor, lol. But I can't stop Laila... XP))It didn't take Laila long to find him, and she stormed right up, pulling back and swinging as hard as she could. Her knuckles exploded in pain but she felt a little better for it. "How could you!?" She shouted. "After everything... You screwed Kenna!? She's pregnant!" She screamed, swinging at him again. "You screwed her and I can't believe I let myself believe you were different." she had hot tears in her eyes now and her scream was broken by a sob. "Well good job. I officially hate you again. Hope you didn't plan on screwing me too." She spun then, and jogged off, the anger gone. Hot tears slowly rolled down her cheeks as she headed for her dorm. If anything, she felt so foolish and broken.
Luke secretly felt relieved that someone was going to put Razor in his place, but he didn't show this. "Nothing we can do about that now." He whispered, kissing her forehead gently. "I'm sure it will all work out alright." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
Razor couldn't believe what just happened, he touched his cheek it stung but not as bad as the tears starting to seep through. He got Kenna pregnant?...and now the girl he did fancy hated him and would never speak to him again. He crumpled the paper lotus he made for her and got in his truck and just drove. He couldn't think he didn't want to he just needed to do something to end the misery.Kenna held onto him and sighed "take me to your house Luke...I just need to get away from the campus...sit on our swing and forget about all of this.
It didn't take long for Laila to reach her room and she slammed the door after her, locking it. I'm so stupid. I'm so so stupid. I let my walls down for one person, and he's gone and got my best friend pregnant. She had never let anyone in before, never been vulnerable around anyone, and now she remembered why. Her walls were up again, and higher than they were before. She yanked out the phone chord and turned off her cellphone. Shutting all the blinds she ran to her bed and flopped on in, just sobbing. Luke nodded, walking out with her. "Sure thing." he agreed, leading her off campus and to his place. He walked up the steps and used his key to unlock the door and let it swing open. He was greeted by a flurry of barking as a large spotted dog barrelled into him. He laughed easily ruffling the ears of the animal. "Hey Winston." he said, shutting the door behind him. "Welcome to my humble home...
Razor shook his head sitting on the truck bed, he really missed her. He quickly texted her knowing she wouldn't answer but need to try 'I am so aorry, but everything last night was pure honesty, I care so much about you. I wanted to be the good guy for you...I'm so sorry I ruined a good thing -Chris."Kenna laufhed and hugged the dog happily, "hi Winston! Hi baby! I love you!"
Laila's phone was off, so she didn't get any texts. It would show up on Razor's phone as unable to receive. Laila had not felt like this since a child, since her father had left, and her mother had cried for weeks. She had had to become tough then, and take care of her mother. And it stuck. She was always the brave one since then. But deep down, the child in her still dreamed for a night in shining armour. Razor had only proven to her just how niave she was, and that of all things, hurt the most. Winston leapt up and licked her face happy, wuffling her hand to try and find treats. Luke laughed and shook his head, dumping his backpack on the counter. "Down boy. You hungry?" He asked, pouring some kibble in the dog's bowl. Winston ran over and ate sloppily, happy to have food.
Razor saw something peeking under the blanket, he moved it and saw that Laila had left her sweatshirt. No wonder she was cold last night...he brought it to his face and inhaled her scent feeling more broken. He drove home and wrapped it in a box writing a card, he put everything the text had said and yet so much more. Driving to her apartment he rang the bell leaving it on the step and quickly getting out of there.Kenna laughed watching him "nothing has changed...except for us, I wished I would have known that you loved me so much before this..." She stood slowly and sat at the table leaning her head on his shoulder "the baby wants food..."
Laila was woken from a nightmare filled sleep by the harsh clang of the door bell. Maybe Kenna's here... She thought, pulling herself out of bed. She rubbed her eyes and went to the door, opening it cautiously. She was surprised to find a box and a card there. When she opened it, she was hit by a mix of emotions, and she hugged the sweater to her, her eyes filling with tears. She searched for her phone and typed in a text. 'Sorry Razor. Thank you for apologizing, and I'm sorry for your face. But I can't do this. I don't do relationships, and Kenna being pregnant just reminded me about why. I'm sorry. It's not you.' She sent the text and crawled back in bed, curling up again beneath the blanket. Luke smiled, squeezing her hand gently. "I've been too scared to tell you." he winked at her, and moved to the fridge. "What's mamma bear hungry for?" He asked, sticking his head in the fridge as he looked for food that would be easy to make for her.
Razor got the text, it didn't make him feel any better. At least she didn't hate him, but now he could never spend time with her again...he growled feeling like ripping out his hair. He went to his apartment and locked the doors and put down the shades just sitting in the dark hating himself.Kenna thought about it "something with a lot of cheese please!" She loved cheese but usually stayed away from it to keep her figure the way she wanted. She pecked his lips when he came back "if this baby was yours...would you want to keep it?"
Laila spent the afternoon just trembling and waking from various nightmares. She didn't know what it was about how Razor had torn down her walls, but it made her vulnerable to fears she had not had in years. She pulled out her phone again and texted Kenna. 'Tell the prof I'm not going to be there this afternoon. Or tomorrow, and maybe the rest of the week. Sorry.' It wasn't like her to miss class, but Laila just didn't feel like going anywhere. Finally deciding that she couldn't sleep without the nightmares, she got up and changed, putting her hair in a pony tail. Packing a small bag, she got in her car and just drove. Luke nodded, winking. "Coming right up." He promised, getting out bread and cheese to make grilled cheese. "I'll make the best grilled cheese you've ever tasted." he said, turning on the grill and buttering the pieces. He put cheese on them and then started to fry them.
Razor sank into depression, he couldn't move out of his bed. All week his phone went off and he couldnt answer. He just wanted to die, he wanted to crawl into a hole and die. Meanwhile where Laila was Krissy his sister couldn't find a place to sit she looked over at Laila "is this seat taken? She was about 12 and obviously very intimidated by the college student but she needed a place to sit.
Kenna watched and heard her phone grabbing of and frowning 'what's weong? This isn't because of me is ut? Don't do anything stupid! I love you :('
Laila had gotten onto a bus, deciding to just escape from it all for a while. She texted Kenna back. 'No. It's not you. I just need to get away for a bit. I'll be back. I promise. Love you girl.' She looked up in surprise at the small girl who requested to sit by her, and she smiled brightly. "Of course." She promised, shifting to make more room. She patted the bus seat and smiled. "have a seat."Luke turned around with the grilled cheese and smiled at Kenna. "Hope this is cheesy enough." He said, placing the plates in front of her. "Bon appetite!" He sat down beside her and ate his own sandwich, glad to be able to just spend some time with her.
Krissy sat by her and smiled "thanks, I'm Krissy...so where are you going?" She dug in her bag looking for the sour patch kids watermelon and offering the bag to Laila. Kenna sighed and texted back 'keep in contact! I'm staying at Luke's for the weekend. Just need to get away...so I get it, I'm sorry that I ruined you and Razor's friendship.' Kenna grinned and pulled the two triangles apart and watching the cheese stretch "the longer the cheese is the tastier it is!"
Laila would have responded to Kenna, but she decided it was a conversation they needed to have in person, so she just said, 'its ok. Have fun.' Then she smiled at the girl. "Laila. I'm not really sure where I am going." she said, shrugging. "Where are you off to?" She gladly accepted one of the candies with a smile. Luke laughed softly, shaking his head. "My, you're even cuter pregnant." He teased. "So am I going to be making you grilled cheese from now on?" He asked, dipping his sandwich in ketchup before taking a huge bite.
Krissy sighed "actually coming back from visiting my big brother, he goes to that college up there. I haven't seen him for awhile but he was like really sad...he didn't want to eat or talk...it's basically just me and him." She said snacking on the candies.Kenna flushed and smiled "won't be so cute when I look like a beach ball!" She protested and shrugged "it depends on what I'm craving I guess, right now this is perfect! If it was cold it would be good with soup."
Laila frowned in sympathy. "That doesn't sound good. Maybe he should see a doctor." She suggested. "If he goes to Seneca College, then Maybe Ill know him." She said thoughtfully, watching the small girl eat the gummies. She felt bad for her, having to take the bus all alone. "What is his name?"Luke grinned. "You'll look cute with a beach ball to I'll bet." He winked at her. "I'll make you all the soup and grilled cheese you can eat. How's that?" he asked, finishing up his sandwich and moving for a second. "Oh, and feel free to grab seconds, I made more than enough." He had made just about a mountain of them, but hey, he liked to eat, and he figured she would too now that she was pregnant.
Krissy nodded "I think that's what it's called, his name is Chris its kind of dorky Krissy and Chris buts that the way it is. He has a stupid tough nickname too like Blade or something..."Kenna grinned and took another one "I love you so much right now, I don't even care that I'm eating like a pig!" She stretched the cheese agsin giggling "so how's your fam doing? Does your mom still hate me?@
Laila grimaced. What were the chances? "Yup. I know him." She sighed softly. She didn't know what to say without hurting this girl. 'He broke my dreams? I'm having nightmares because of him? He got my best friend pregnant? He is probably the biggest play boy on campus?' She knew better than to say any of those things, so she kept quiet instead. Luke laughed easily, leaning back in his chair as he took another bite. She was so sweet and innocent when she was like this, amused by pulling cheese. He loved that about her. That even though she was pregnant, she could still be sweet and childlike. "Fam's good. Still mad at me for not continuing the family business, and yeah, Mother still isn't happy about that pie you stole." he shook his head. "That was her prize pie you know." He laughed softly. "But for what its worth, it was tasty."
Krissy watched and frowned "do you know why he got so sad?...he's never like that. He's really funny and brave...smart, I just...I don't know what to do...our mom turned into a drug addict after my dad...left." She bit her lip "he's all I have..."Kenna frowned "I was 8! I didn't know that it wasn't to be eaten...and you helped!" She accused and smiled taking another bite "being a lawyer is boring though...you aren't stuffy like your dad and brothers..."
Laila sighed softly, feeling slightly guilty. No! Don't feel guilty! but.... it wasn't his fault... yes it was! but maybe he didn't mean to... The thoughts whirring around in her mind caused a strong headache to build and she rubbed her temple, grimacing. So Chris's mother was a druggie and his father ditched them. Ok. Maybe I was hard on him. And now what... he's depressed? I didn't think he was one to get depressed. She nodded slowly. "It might have been my fault. He got my friend pregnant, and I punched him for it." She winced. "I didn't really know his story, so I'm sorry kid, I really am. But I can't just go back there and apologize. He hurt me too."Luke grinned, shaking his head. "Fine. I'll admit to having some part in that. But you were the one who suggested it." he teased. "I just didn't mention that it wasn't supposed to be eaten...." He smirked. Then his smile grew. "Well I am glad you don't think I'm stuffy. I was starting to worry...." He teased, patting his satisfied stomach. "What do you say we go out and try out that swing of mine?"
Krissy was shocked at what this girl was saying, she never thought her brother could ever do that. She put on her earbuds ignoring the girl that broke her brother. She wanted to cry but was too strong for that.Kenna nodded and smiled letting him piggy back her to the backyard and sat on their swing. She smiled sitting on his lap and pushing her legs to get the swing started "what if I keep the kid?..."
Laila closed her eyes and swallowed. Now another person hated her. She sighed and looked away. "I'm sorry." She mumbled, hugging her bag to herself. She couldn't go back. The only thing that waited for her back there was nightmares and regrets. She wished Razor wasn't depressed, she almost wished he would come after her. But she couldn't go back, and the next stop, she was going to get off this bus so she could be alone again. Even when she was running away, Razor seemed to haunt her in the form of his sister. Luke pushed them with his feet and then rocked back and forth to keep the swing going at a gentle pace. "It's your choice." he said gently, shrugging. "I'd want it if it was my kid too... but I wouldn't keep it. Personally I know that I wouldn't be able to care for it when I'm still in school. Don't get me wrong, I love kids. But I don't think I'm well suited to being a father until I have a job, and a house, and a steady income." He said honestly.
Krissy sighed looking at her "I don't hate you...I don't even know you...I juat, I never knew my brother could be like that...and that makes me sad, I'm sorry he hurt you...you don't have to forgive him...I just, I'm scarred of what he might do..." She said softly giving her the rest of the candy.Kenna sighed and nodded "I guess you are right...I just can't imagine giving up the baby, that I grew for 9 months...what if it's foster care all of its life or it gets into trouble on the street...I could quit school and raise it..."
Laila relaxed a little and sighed. "No, it's ok kid. He didn't hurt me, he just re opened old wounds." She smiled weakly, accepting a couple gummies, and then handed them back to her. "I'll go check on him for you, ok?" I'm not getting into anything. Just checking on him. That's it.Luke nodded in understanding. "So make sure it gets adopted directly into a family, and not put in the foster care system." he suggested. Then he sighed. "I don't mean to tell you what to do Kenna, it's your decision in the end, know that I'm just offering advice, ok?" He said gently, squeezing her hand.
Razor had been fighting depression for a long time, he just didn't know it. Distractions, sex and drinking drugs and partying kept it at bay but it was always there simmering under the surface waiting to boil over. Well it had, he took the torniquet around his arm and injected the heroin needing that blissful feeling that came from being high but it didn't come...he had pushed too much and went unconscious on the bathroom floor.Krissy sighed and hugged her "if I had a sister I'd want her to be like you." The next stop was hers, this ghetto neighborhood that seemed to be oozing with no good bums, broken beer bottles and graffiti. She waved and headed back to their little apartment.
Kenna sighed and nodded, she just couldn't do it. She loved the tiny bean inside her though she didn't know why. She had always been taken care of and protected all her life it felt good to have someone to be in charge of to love and protect.
Laila watched the small girl leave, a smile on her face. Her comment had made her feel good inside. "Well. I'm stupid, but I promised to check on her brother. Here goes nothing." she muttered, waiting for the ride back to the school. She hopped off the bus and found her way to Razor's apartment. The shades were drawn, but the door was unlocked, so she moved inside hesitantly. "Razor?" she called hesitantly. "I'm here to check on you. Where are you?" she called, moving gingerly around the furniture in his living room. Luke felt her sigh and knew she was reserving herself. He frowned a little. "Did I offend you?" He asked softly, starting to mentally beat himself up for pushing her. He was just trying to help, and now he was worried he had hurt her in some way.
Razor was sitting draped against the bathtub, the syringe rolled out of his hand next to him. He was pale and bluish around the fingernails and lips his breathing was slow and difficult like he was suffocating. Kenna turned to look at him "not at all love! It's just so hard...I don't know what to do, and it's hard hearing that I should give it away...I don't want to and yet I know that's what I should do..."
Laila heard no response and started to grow worried. She heard a small clink from the bathroom and moved towards the sound. What she saw caused her to pale. "Oh my gosh..." She whispered, immediately digging for her cellphone. She dialed 911. "Yeah. I've got an emergency." She said quickly, moving to Razor's side as she lowered him to the floor and moved the needle away, checking for breathing and a pulse. Luke nodded in understanding, and he wrapped his arms around her, nestling his chin on her shoulder. "I know. I know this whole situation is tough, and I just want to be here for you, ok?" he said gently, kissing her cheek. "Anything you need, seriously."
The pulse was soft but there thudding under her fingertips, as she lowered his head down he gagged on frothy saliva. His eyes opened half a slit seeming to look at her with eyes of sorrow.Kenna smiled and nuzzled his chest and kissing it "thank you...I don't know what I would do without you Luke..." She whispered meaningfully and watched the dandelions start to bloom in the spring grass "it'll be cold when the baby comes..."
Laila swallowed, continuing to talk to the operator on the end of the line, but she ran her hands through his hair, trying to comfort him in some way. "The ambulance is coming." She whispered. 'You're going to be alright."In a few minutes, the medics arrived and loaded Razor onto a stretcher. They asked her a gazzilllion questions, and she decided to stay with him for the ride to the hospital.
Luke smiled gently, loving having her in his arms and just holding her like this. He had longed to be like this with her for so long, and now finally he could. "No problem peanut." He whispered, smiling. His nod was brief. "Yes it will. Fall or winter baby I suppose."
Razor gripped her hand trying to stay conscious for her, she came back...he needed to stay alive for her. He needed to make it up to her, why did he do this? He was as horrible as people said.Kenna smiled "you going to be there? While I'm screaming and swearing?" She giggled "oh gosh I can't believe I'll be pushing a baby out...Luke I can't do this!"
They arrived at the hospital in no time, and medics got Razor into a room and hooked up to an IV. They ushered Laila out of his room as they prepared to try and counteract the overdose in his blood. Luke smiled softly, kissing her nose. "I wouldn't miss it for the world. I have to be there for you, because there isn't another man that will let you crush his hand." he teased, running his fingers gently through her hair. "You can do it baby, I know you can."
Razor lost consciousness when it attacked his nervous system. The nurse went over to her "are you his girlfriend?" She asked needing to know who to contact about this.Kenna laughed lightly and kissed his hand and nuzzled it "I don't want to hurt you honey..." She sighed and pat her stomach "let's hope it's under weight and not over weight..."
Laila looked up at the nurse, a little surprised by the label. "I uh..." They wouldn't let her in if she wasn't, she realized, so she nodded. "Yeah. Yeah I am." She was worried. For his sake, and for his sister's sake. She didn't like him any more, but she felt guilty. Luke smiled gently, happy to have her. He chuckled then. "Oh don't worry about your weight. You'll look just as cute pudgy or skinny." he teased, winking at her. It was getting dark and the stars were starting to show in the sky.
The nurse nodded and smiled patting her shoulder "it's going to be ok..." She assured and squeezed her leg "how many drugs does he do? Does he use often?"Kenna nipped at him and smiled looking up at the stars "so pretty out here..." She mumbled and took his hand and stood spinning into his arms as little bugs flew from the grass almost magically.
Laila relaxed a little, glad that everything would be alright. It was no secret that Razor did drugs. "I'm not sure of the exact quantity, but I'm pretty sure he's a regular user." If using them at every party he went to counted as regular anyways....Luke smiled, watching her, and not the stars. He took her hand in his and placed the other at her waist, letting the wind tug them around his little backyard in a slow dance. She was so beautiful, and he was so in love. "Yes... very pretty." He agreed.
The nurse wrote it down and sighed nodding "it may be s good idea to check him into a rehab, when he uses so much that it starts to kill him that isn't good. Do you think he'd listen to you if you reccomended it?"Kenna smiled and danced along with him, her bare feet getting stained from the grass as her skirt easily swayed around. She was a bit of a flower child and liked the boho look. She was even making plans on how she wanted to deliver the baby, no meds or hospitals all natural and beautiful.
Laila nodded slowly. "I think I might be able to. I'll try my best." She promised. "Thank you for telling me how he is." she gave the nurse a meek smile. What was she supposed to do now? She was practically tying herself to Razor, when she swore she wouldn't see him again. Luke couldn't take his eyes off her. She had been his little peanut, and always would be. But now she was more grown up, a flower that had bloomed and she was breathtaking. He gently tucked away her bangs and smiled, drawing her close to him as their steps slowed into a graceful movement across the yard.
The nurse nodded and all of the sudden Krissy came running in, she was shocked to see Laila there "is he?..." She couldn't even speak as she started to cry and higged onto her tightly.Kenna smiled following his lead, there really wasn't much of a difference having him as a boyfriend. He had loved her all along...she just now knew how much she loved him. She hugged him close "oh gosh...what am I going to tell my parents?"
Lexi was surprised to see Krissy, but glad at the same time. She hugged her gently. "He's alive." She promised. "He's alive and he's getting better." she felt bad for the girl, so she turned to the nurse. "Could we see him? It would probably ease her worries." Luke had eventually stopped, and was just holding her there in the cool night air when she asked him. His smile was small. "I suppose you'll have to break it to them slowly." He said, looking down at her.
The nurse pondered it and nodded leading them back into his room, Kristy went to his side and started to cry holding onto his hand "why did you do this?! I hate you!" She screamed sobbing into his chest.Kenna closed her eyes and breathed through her lips slowly "will you be with me? Maybe we can say it's yours...make it easier for them...they love you."
Laila sighed at Krissy's reaction. She wasn't sure exactly if she was yelling at her brother, or at her, but she figured the girl was over emotional, and now that she was here, she could leave. She figured Krissy would tell Razor about her anyways. "I'll come back later." She said softly, and slipped from the room to give them some time. Luke nodded, his smile widening a little. "Of course I would." he promised. "I'm sure that would make them feel better about it, and I would do anything for you." he promised, his smile a little meschevious.
Krissy was crying as she snuggled up to her brother, she felt stuck and confused. Her brother was turning into her dad and mum...she felt alone and scared. "Please don't go..."Kenna kissed his lips "I wish it was yours...we could have our own little family...and...I want to know what you're like..."
The nurse came in to check on Krissy and Razor. "He'll be alright." she promised. "He's still effected by the drugs we gave him, but he'll wake up in a bit. Then we'll know if he was rid of the heroin effectively or not." She explained. Laila was outside, pacing. She wished she had known before that Razor was using this heavily. She would have done something before now, and she sure wouldn't have treated him how she did. Yeah, she still would have been angry for what happened, but she wouldn't have hit him, for she would have pitied him. She needed a walk, and she needed a drink.
Luke smiled a little at that thought. A family, with her. "I wish it was ours too." He whispered, meaning every word. It hurt him that her first child would not be his. It hurt more than he liked to admit. He found blush creeping into his cheeks, and his smile turned devious. "What exactly are you hinting at?" He teased.
Andrew checked his phone and saw that Laila had called, he was at another university and was a few years older then her but they were close "hey goose...what's going on?"Razor started to wake up when the nurse was messing with his IV, he felt dazed and disoriented. He squeezed the small hand that he realized belonged to his sister...shoot. "Hey...ducky..."
Kenna giggled "oh you know what I'm hinting at...you aren't a virgin aftetall."
