Another Teen Statistic

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree bit down on her lip as she tapped on her steering wheel anxiously. The car was silent but her head was busy with all the possible outcomes of what she was about to do. First of all, the fact that she was going to Jack Ross's house, like the Jack Ross, was enough to throw any girl into a whirlwind of nerves and giggles. This wasn't like that though. This wasn't that she was going over because he'd invited her over to watch some DVDs...


Nearly two months ago at a party, Cambree had bumped into Jack. It was a pretty big thing and no one really saw them together, but they were both already tipsy and with more alcohol, Jack started thinking with the wrong head and she was so starstruck that she went along with it all. Don't get her wrong. He was a great guy and came off really sweet, but drunk hookups weren't really her thing. They were proving to really not be her thing now. After being late for the second time, Cambree made a doctors appointment and long story short, she was pregnant. Freaking. Great.


She'd made up some bullshit excuse to Jack over Facebook that it was imperative that she could over to do some interview for the school magazine so she could get his address. She wasn't even in magazine production. She just needed some way to be able to talk to him alone. School was a hell no because the guy was always swarmed with his teammates and shameless girls throwing themselves at him..

Jack was laying on his bed, relaxing after an eventful morning. He went to meet up with some of his friends for a morning jog. It was supposed to be him and three of his friends and he didn't expect so many girls to be there. He had gotten used to having girls always follow him but it sure would've been nice to just spend some time with his friends. As he closed his eyes an alarm notification rang on his mobile. With a sigh he grabbed his mobile and checked the note. "Interview with Cambree."


Ofcourse he did know who Cambree was, he did remember seeing her at a few parties. And they probably hooked up in one of those but that's pretty much it. He had no idea why she wanted this interview and why she really seemed insistent to have it. The girl just wouldn't take a no for an answer. So he did agree to meet her and she was supposed to be arriving soon.So it's probably just another fangirl... Great. "The damned stupid things I keep getting myself into." He muttered as he stood up and put on some new clothes.


He went downstairs and starting making a cup of coffee while thinking. She didn't mention really what the interview was about or for which collage-related magazine. It's probably about his role in his football team. He was ofcourse the star. As his coffee was ready he took a sip as he walked to the living room. It looked tidy enough which he was grateful for. He sat on the sofa, awaiting Cambree and her interview. If only he knew what awaited him.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambee soon eased onto Jack's street and slowed to a stop by the curb of his house. She put the car in park and then leaned back, looking in the direction of the front door. She could feel herself getting sick already. Maybe she should just go back home and say she had to cancel. The article wasn't happening or something. It'd be like it never even happened. She could just drop out of school and call it a day... But he deserved to know. She wasn't saying he had to help or anything but he could at least of the choice, right?


She sighed and turned off her car, then grabbed her purse and phone and stepped out. She locked the car, then slung her purse over her shoulder as she walked up to the nice house. It was far better than her's at least. She walked up to the door and hesitated before walking. God, how she was even suppose to start this. Hey Jack. I'm actually a total liar and I'm carrying your child. Alright, nice to meet you sober and sorry for ruining your life.





No matter what scenario she played in her head, they all seemed to just go wrong in someway. This whole situation was just messed up. She was 17! The next ten years of her life were suppose to be the best ones yet and instead she was pregnant and about to be tied down being a mom whether she liked it or not. Maybe that fact that she'd dressed in a short dress and put on makeup would help her out a little bit here. Maybe he'd be a little bit more forgiving..

 

[Felix7]

Jack's phone rang as he awaited for Cambree to come. It was his friend Tony. "Tony hey dude, what's up?... Waiting for me? what are you talking about... Oh that is today? Shit, well dude I'm sorry I have to cancel... No I have someone coming over for an interview, I think." Jack then laughed. "No I swear I'm not making this up... With who? It's none of your damn business... Alright man I'll catch up if it doesn't take too long. Bye." He put his phone away with a relieved sigh, he was glad for the excuse. He didn't feel like going anywhere, he was just gonna get this over with then just relax at home.


After a few minutes he heard a car park in front of his house. He walked over to the window and looked at it. It took him a bit to recognize Cambree as she stepped out of the car. And he was really surprised. She was looking gorgeous! wearing a nice short dress and looking ready for the interview. Well he would be lying to himself if he denied that she was very pretty. This should be interesting he thought.


He noticed that she was hesitating as she walked. What was the problem? Was she not sure if this is the right house? Well he figured he should meet her at the front door. He started walking towards it while looking around and making sure everything was looking neat and tidy. Then after taking a deep breath he opened the door. "Don't worry it's the right house, you made it." He said with a bright smile.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree honestly thought about just turning around at that moment. She felt absolutely terrible, mentally and physically. She'd been racking her brain for the past week, trying to decide what she was going to do. She'd contemplating not having the baby at all but knew deep down that it was against her morals and that she couldn't do that. Now it was a matter of coping with being pregnant in high school. She'd be that girl.


She didn't have time to contemplate it much more because the door swung open before her hand even met the door. She smiled a little bit at Jack, who looked so damn attractive even in his relaxed state, and felt a blush come over her tanned cheeks at his words. He'd probably seen her sit in her car and then just stand on his porch. Way to go dummy.


"Oh, yeah. Sorry. I kind of suck at directions," She excused herself lamely with a small laugh, tucking some hair nervously behind her ear. This was even worse now that he was standing in front of her. This was real. This was actually happening... She couldn't do this to this kid. He was so up beat and popular and had lots of potential with his football. She didn't even remember if he'd ever had a girlfriend since she'd known of him.

 

[Felix7]

He smiled at her comment. "Well don't worry, you're not alone in that. We share that skill." As he stared into her beautiful face he noticed it wore a worried expression. Like she was nervous. Well he did seem to have that effect on girls so it wasn't strange. But she did look very cute as she blushed nervously.He kicked the door open gently with his leg and stepped aside to allow her in. "Oh please come in."


He couldn't really remember where he last saw her. The only time he remembered interacting with her was at a party. Meeting her and chatting before he got way too drunk to know what was happening. He then later realized that they apparently hooked up and they just never really spoke much again. As she entered he commented. "Well I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't comment on how gorgeous you are looking, Cambree." He said. He knew it was awkward and maybe inappropriate but he was a flirty guy and never seemed to be able to stop himself. And oddly enough girls seemed to like that about him.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree grinned, glad to at least hear Jack agree rather than just give her a weird look or something. "Thank you," She told him softly, stepping inside of his beautifully decorated home. Her eyes glazed over it all only to land back on Jack when he began speaking again. She felt her cheeks grow even hotter when he complimented her. Gorgeous. She was pretty sure that he'd told her that the night that they'd hooked up, when she was wearing a skin-tight black dress that was short enough to be a t-shirt.


"Do you tell that to every girl that walks through the door?" She asked him teasingly, trying to lighten up the mood. Well, her mood. He seemed just dapper. "Kidding. That's really sweet of you," She added on, not wanting him to think she was like, Team Anti-Jack or anything. She supposed that she was just like any of the other girls at their school. Jack Ross was the guy to be with. If you ended up going on a date or two prom with him, you were basically a legend and the talk of the school. He slept with a lot of girls though so she didn't feel too special though.


"Oh, I use to go there," She commented with a little smile, pointing his shirt which had the logo of a summer camp on it. It looked like he might've been a counselor or something because it looked different than the collection of t-shirts she'd gained over the years. She still kept them all and wore them pretty frequently when she was just hanging out or working out.

 

[Felix7]

Jack laughed at her sarcastic comment. "No, I tell them that they're pretty. Only lucky few get the gorgeous treatment." He said with a smirk. Thought it really was the truth. He only told a girl that she was gorgeous if he really thought she was. And he had to admit, Cambree was kinda his type of beauty. Especially her eyes. He followed her inside as she took in his apartment. He hoped that she liked what she was seeing.


"Just telling the truth." He continued. Then she noticed his T-shirt and commented. "Oh really? That's awesome. I always enjoy going to this Summer Camp." He never missed going because he enjoyed the atmosphere and the camping. But never went there as a camper but as a volunteer. He liked to take part in the planning and helping around the camp. He loved the fact that she used to go there too. "I go each year as a volunteer. I just like to help out with the planning and so on. Hey... Actually this is a good piece for the interview, Jack the volunteer." He said jokingly.


Then he realized that they were still standing. Shaking his head at his stupidity he said. "Oh man, I'm sorry I just tend to forget myself. Please come in, lets sit in the living room." He said as he led her to a blue sofa that was positioned in front of the TV. "I hope you like the house, I'm sorry if it's a bit messy."

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree couldn't help but at least convince herself but Jack was being real when he said that she was one of afew to have been graced with the word "gorgeous". She smiled, deciding just to take the compliment instead of arguing any further.


"That's really awesome," She remarked about the camp,"I only went up until like Freshman year, I think." It was more of a parent forced thing. They wanted to get her out of the house for the summer and active or whatever. Her smile seemed to fade at the comment about the interview, quickly being brought back to reality. She wasn't hear to make friends but to drop a major bombshell on the guy.


She walked along with him outwards the living room and shook her her head. "It's awesome. Really nice.. It must be nice living alone..." She commented as she took a seat one side of the couch. She set her purse beside her and kept her phone in her lap with nearly a death grip on it, as if it could take away all her stress or something. She just felt like she was beating around the bush at this point. She smoothed her hair behind her ear again and then looked over at him.


"So... About this whole magazine thing.. I'm not actually here to interview you. I just needed an excuse to talk to you, like alone. And I know that probably sounds really super creepy but I have a reason. I know I probably could've just asked but I know that you're like super busy and stuff and we're not friends or anything so I just thought..., She said, feeling herself start to get all freaked out as she began to start and ramble. She probably could've phrased that far better but her brain wasn't totally functioning at full capacity.

 

[Felix7]

At her comment about the house and living alone he raised an eyebrow. "Well yes it is nice, it has it's own advantages." His parents were the chill, take it easy and live your life kind of parents who even though they didn't really spoil him, they let him do whatever he wanted. They had to move out due to his father's job but he refused to go with them because all his friends were here and he really liked the highschool he was in. So they left him the house and they send him some money every month. Though it wasn't as much as he would've liked.


As she sat down he noticed that her nervousness was now more intense. What was going on? Was she scared of being here or something. And oddly enough he just noticed that she didn't carry any laptops or papers or anything to write on. She only had her purse. Unless she had a voice recorder in her purse and this was one of those audio interview things. If it was he didn't know if he'd want to go for it. It would feel weird.


But then, he couldn't hide his shock or confusion from his face as he listened to her ramble. She spoke so fast that he was barely able to keep up. No interview? Wanted to talk to him alone? "Okay Cambree, just... Chill and cool down. I won't deny that I'm a bit shocked about all this but. Well.. we're here and alone. So take a breath and just say what's on your mind." He said calmly. He had a good guess about what was going on here. A lot of girls did this to him just to brag about spending some time alone with him. He didn't really like being used like that but he couldn't really do anything about it.

 

[PrincessKaty]

The look on his face alone made her divert her eyes. She probably looked like some crazy just trying to talk to him which she guessed in some ways she was. She took in a deep breath when he said to calm down but she could still feel the nerves boiling inside her.


"Okay, so," She began, looking down at her nails,"I'm just saying this to tell you. I'm not like, suggestion anything. Just saying it to let you know... Do you remember that party like, two, three months ago?" If he said no, this was going to be nearly impossible to explain to him because he'd just deny it. "Well, we like, hooked-up and stuff. And..." She couldn't do this. She felt like her heart was beating in her throat and felt her eyes getting all watery. She didn't know why she was so freaked out. If he told her to shove off then she'd just leave and they'd never have to see each other again. It wasn't like she was asking for a heart transplant and he was her last hope.


"I'm pregnant," She finally just blurted out after a solid minute of complete silence, keeping her eyes down on her baby blue nail polish that she suddenly had taken an interest in. He was going to flip. She could feel it. Who wouldn't?

 

[Felix7]

As she started to talk he listened attentively. She is not suggesting anything? Jack was getting more and more confused. As she mentioned the party he nodded. "Yes, yes I remember. I do remember us doing stupid stuff while wasted." He said with a smile. "I hope you're not holding a grudge or something." Then he waited patiently as she was silent and looking stressed. She probably was here to blame him for what happened that night.


His face seemed to change between a thousand colors as he heard her last two words. He then took a deep breath and chuckled. "Oh it's a joke right? Man you really got me there for a second. I..." But as he looked at her. She didn't smile back. She was serious, dead serious. His mouth was open as shock overcame him from head to toe. It took him a few minutes to recover and he said hastily. "Where are my manners! Would you like to drink something? Ofcourse you would. Apple juice maybe? I'll be right back." He said as he jogged to the kitchen and leaned on the kitchen table.


He put his face in his hands as he took deep rapid breaths. How could this be possible, well ofcourse it was possible. He is a dumb and careless bastard, he always got wasted at parties and didn't really care about a damn thing after that. And now he had ruined this poor girl's life and probably his too. But what was he going to do now? Was the child really his? "Ok Jack just calm the hell down." He muttered to himself. As a thousand thoughts flooded his mind he rushed to the fridge and grabbed the apply juice. He poured it into a glass then walked back into the living room with her. He gave her the glass with a small hesitant smile. "I'm sorry please forgive me. This is all... just shocking. This might sound like a... rude question but I'm sure you would understand why I'm asking it." He was silent for a few seconds then he continued. "Are you sure that it's my child?"

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree's eyes shifted to Jack's when he laughed and asked if it was a joke. She didn't crack a smile though. She wished this was a joke. She pressed her lips together when she just stared at him and then quickly looked down when he got quickly, talking about drinks and manners. She knew he was just stalling. She didn't blame him though. She finally moved her phone onto the couch next to her and stretched out her aching hand before crossing her arms and thinking. Maybe this wasn't a good idea. Ugh, she didn't know. This sucked. It just all sucked.


When he came back, she took the glass with a little grin and took a sip just to be polite before looking back towards him with a little nod. She knew why he'd ask and honestly had expected it. "Yes," She told him surely,"You're the only guy I've slept with in like, a year." Last year she'd had a boyfriend but ever since then she'd been all on her lonesome. Jack had actually been her first casual hookup that went any further than third base. She didn't really mind and she wasn't mad at him or anything, because they'd both been stupid and drunk... And hey, it was Jack Ross. She guessed if she was going to get pregnant- No. What the hell was she thinking? There was no good way to spin this..


"And, I understand if you don't want anything to do with me. I just thought you deserved the right to know," She explained, wanting to get that out there just in case he'd been thinking it. She wasn't going to force him to date her or pay child support or stick around just out of pity. She could do it on her own if she really needed to. Well, she was going to. Her parents were looking for a place for her to move to and were going to help with supplies and whatever but refused to have to help raise another baby.

 

[Felix7]

After Jack had asked his question he was hoping to notice doubt on her face, uncertainty. Anything... But there was no doubt about it, it was his child. He started walking back and forth infront of Cambree. forgetting everything as his mind raced with questions. It was his stupidity that led to this. It felt like he was at a cross-road. And he needed to choose which direction he should take his life. If he agreed to this everything will change for him. He'll be carrying the heavy weight of responsibility way too early.


But between all the confusion and shock and fear there was something else there. He couldn't really explain it but for some reason, a part of him was happy And joyful. He loved children and had always dreamed of the day he could have his own. Though he didn't expect it to happen so early. He spared a glance at Cambree as she sat there. She really was gorgeous. And then another thought struck him. She has the option to get an abortion but since was here then she wasn't going to give up this baby. And he was glad for that, He hated abortions and never agreed to them.


Jack finally stopped and faced Cambree. Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves he started talking. "Thank you for coming here and telling me about this, I know that it took a lot of courage to do this. This is my responsibility as much as it's yours and... If this baby is going to be born then they will be born having both their parents around. " Jack spared a quick glance at Cambree's belly. "It's my child after all." Then Jack walked towards Cambree and stood infront of her. A smile appeared on his lips as he said. "Lets do this Cambree, together."

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree bit down on her lip, watching Jack begin to pace in the living room. She could only imagine what was going through his mind. This was a pretty heavy thing. This was a human being that they'd, well she'd, be responsible for for the rest of her life. Jack had a lot going for him. She felt like she couldn't even ask him to help because he had all these scholarships set up for college football and stuff, or so she'd heard. She really hadn't had a plan. She thought that maybe she'd go to college just to get a degree any maybe get a better job but with this, she felt like it'd be nearly impossible attending college and raising a newborn. There was no way in hell she'd be able to afford daycare. That was so expensive and she'd already be a brokeass teenager.


She looked over at him and raised her eyebrows when he said that the baby would have both parents around. She felt like her heart was going to beat out of her chest. "Wait, what?" She asked him almost breathlessly, hearing him say 'together' and he was smiling? She took in a deep breath and shook her head slightly. "Jack, I can't ask you to just.. Do this. We don't even know each other. I don't want you to do this because you feel like you have to," She began to tell him, smiling slightly as if to show him that it was okay if he said no. She'd honestly expected him to say no and have a nice life so this was just... Whoa. They were on two different parts of the social scale. The school would burn if people found out that someone like her was with someone like him. They didn't even have to be together. She knew that some girls were going to be jealous just from the fact that his gorgeous kid was inside of her. "If you want to like, think about it, you can," She added, knowing that she didn't need an answer right away. She still had seven months after all.

 

[Felix7]

As Jack listened to her talk he was really amazed. He thought that if he was in her shoes. He would've came here angry and blamed the man who did this to her. And demanded that he takes responsibility for this child. And demand child support and money and whatnot. But not Cambree. She was concerned about his future instead of making him take responsibility. And it looked like if he denied this child and wasn't going to help her in anyway she was ready to accept that. What kind of an amazing person would do that.


He sat across from her on the sofa and was silent for a bit. " normally I would agree with you. I should be taking some time to think this through, but the thing is I know that my decision will not change. Because I'm not a guy who runs away from responsibility Or a guy that would abandon his child." He looked at her, his expression seemed to be worried and determined at the same time. "I would be lying if I tell you that I'm not afraid of the weight of the responsibility or worried about all the sacrifices I'll be having to make. A lot of changes will be happening to my life, to our lives. And you're going to be making a lot of sacrifices too. " His expression softened then as he continued. "So my decision is that I'm going to jump head first into this with you. I know that it's probably going to be hard to go through this for the both of us. We're still too young for this. But... Something is telling me that in the end. It's all going to be worth it." Jack let his smile return to his face to assure her that she won't be alone in this. "Do your parents know that you're pregnant?"

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree furrowed her eyebrows at Jack as he sat down on the couch, obviously confused with his extremely sweet answer. She should be like bouncing off the walls happy that this was happening but she was like, confused. She felt her heart flutter a little bit, listening to him. He was coming off so sweet. So much nicer than everyone let on. People, especially girls, said that he was really good looking and charming but once you got to know him he was pretty self-centered and only cared about getting some ass and football. She couldn't really blame him if that really was the case. He was living the life.


"That really, really means a lot to me, Jack," She told him honestly, grinning a little bit,"Yeah, they know. They're trying to find me an apartment and they're going to help me out until I get a job and have made enough money to manage." It wasn't the best thing ever but she understood that this was her doing and she had to take responsibility for it. She couldn't be a kid and rely on her parents if she was going to be a parent herself. "And, um," She began, looking down at her hands,"I was thinking that we could just keep this on the downlow... The doctor said I wouldn't show until like, 4 or 5 months so that buys me some times to just pretend to be normal. And maybe we could like... Not, hang out at school..." She felt weird making those suggestions but if people saw them together, it would just be way too much attention that she didn't need. Why would they just start hanging out of the blue one day? She wasn't one for drama and considering his group of friends consisted of jocks, cheerleaders, and socialites, she knew that was what she'd get. And she wouldn't fit in anyways.

 

[Felix7]

"They want you to move out? That's pretty cruel from their side. I mean I'd say that my parents would also kick me out if they found out what I've done too but..." He gestured around him at the empty house. "As you can see, they've already done that." But he really did know how enraged his parents would be if they found out that he got a girl he barely knew pregnant. They'll probably stop even sending him the money that he depends on to live. Though he had surprised even himself when he was willingly agreed to take responsibility even though he was offered a way out. As he thought about being a father something changed in him, making him somewhat stronger.


Then as she told him that she wanted the two of them to stay apart until her belly started to show. "You don't want us to hang out? But wouldn't it be even weirder if we suddenly started to hang out while you're 5 months into pregnancy? I mean if we started hanging out now I think people would be more accepting of your sudden pregnancy. this is just what I think but as you wish. We'll go with your plan." Then he started thinking about the fact that she's looking for an apartment. "I'd ask you to come move in here since it's a big-ass apartment and it's only me but I know you won't agree to that. But umm... You can give me a call whenever and we can go look for an apartment together. I mean... if you'd like." He said, his voice sounding nervous. Then he closed his eyes and leaned his head on the sofa. "After today, I'm never giving another interviews ever again." He said while laughing.

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree shrugged a little bit. "I can't really blame them, I guess. My dad is a lawyer, works like crazy and wouldn't want to be woken up at 2 in the morning by a screaming baby. They've already raised four kids so..." She explained simply. She understood and had kind of expected it, knowing how they were and all. She looked around the place when he gestured around and nodded a little bit. "Did you do something wrong? You seem like, perfect," She said and then laughed, looking over at him,"I know no one is perfect. You don't have to answer that though. It's none of my business.." She was nosy by nature and hopefully he wouldn't be too offended that she'd asked in the first place.


Cambree bit down on her lip, listening to him, knowing that it was all true. "I just... I really don't like crowds or attention and that's like, a lot of your life. Which is totally fine but... I don't know. I know that I'm already going to get shit for like, talking to you and then when people realize I'm pregnant and with your kid. I'll probably be the most hated girl in school.." She began to explain, shaking her head. She could already hear the stupid stories they'd make it. Like how she did it for attention or something. "We could.. Not hang out at all... Like only after school or something. So both of our reputations are saved, yours more than mine I guess because I don't have one. I don't like change.." She told him quietly, looking down again at her hands. She laughed a little bit at all that he had to say and looked in his direction with a smile. "Probably a solid idea," She agreed playfully,"But thank you, for offering this place and looking with me. You're a really sweet guy, Jack." This was going far better than she thought it would. Almost too good..

 

[Felix7]

"Well they say they moved out because my dad's work demanded it. Which is probably true, but there is another main reason. Well you see..." He said while he stroked his forehead with his hand. "It's embarrassing but I was caught while in position of a small amount of drugs by the police. Now before you get the wrong idea they weren't mine, I never did drugs nor will I ever. I may be stupid but not that stupid. I was holding them for a friend as a favor. A guy in the football team with me. Turns out he's not the 'friend' I thought he was. He gave me the drugs then called the cops on me because he wanted my place on the team. Now thankfully everything was resolved peacefully but my parents pretty much didn't like me as much ever since."


Then smiling at her last comment he replied. "I'm not really that sweet. My reputation at school should tell you that. To most people I'm just a selfish bastard, and I'd be lying if I said I'm not most of the time. But... I guess there are things in life that you just can't afford or don't want to be selfish about. But the really sweet one is you Cambree. You're supposed to be hating my guts right now and throwing whatever you can grab on me. Yet all you've shown me is how understanding you are and you even was worried about my future, me the selfish guy who cares about nothing. I sure as hell didn't deserve that." He then sighed and looked back at her. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're awesome."

 

[PrincessKaty]

Cambree looked over at Jack, eyes wide as he explained the story behind it all. She was surprised he'd even tell her. "Wow, seriously?That's like something out of a teenage TV series or something. I would've like, kicked his ass and got him kicked off the team," She said and then laughed. Yeah right, Cambree kicking anyone's ass. How cute.. She couldn't believe that Jack would hold drugs for someone though. She wouldn't do that. Nuhuh. No way she'd be going down for someone else's crime.


She felt her cheeks begin to blush again when he started to compliment her about how nice and sweet she was. She looked down at her dress and pulled at the bottom of it nervously but smiled at everything that he was saying. She looked up at him with her pale blue eyes and for one actually looked him dead in the eye. "And you're awesome for agreeing to help me. You don't even know me. You're not just a selfish guy, Jack. You obviously can care more about yourself," She told him with a grin. She moved her hand over his as if to comfort or reassure him, then finally broke the eye contact and leaned over to the coffee table where she picked up her apple juice and took another sip. "So. You never really agreed to anything, school-wise. What do you think would be best?" She asked him. She'd really like to pretend like they didn't know each other but... She really didn't know what was best to be honest. She just didn't want Jack getting a bunch of hate when he didn't deserve it.

 

[Felix7]

Jack laughed with her "who said that I didn't kick his ass afterwards? But yeah as you probably noticed I'm a trouble magnet." It was what he thought of himself. He always seemed to get himself in trouble but always seemed to enjoy it, he enjoyed getting himself out of them. But then he glanced at Cambree and shook his head slightly. 'You're not getting out of this one.' He thought. Then he actually realized that he's kinda enjoying the company of this girl. Even though he hardly knew her. "But yeah ever since that incident I stay well away from anything that has to do with drugs."


As she asked him the question of what would be best. He thought about it a little more. He came out with the same conclusion that if they start hanging out now then maybe the fact that she's pregnant would be better received than if they had been together for a while before everyone found out. "I mentioned what I think the best thing to do would be. But I can't really force you into anything, in the end it's your choice." Then he looked at her beautiful blue eyes. "So Cambree... tell me a little about yourself. You obviously know a lot about me but I know next to nothing about you."

Cambree smiled and shook her head, tucking some hair behind her ear. "That's probably a good idea," She told him honestly when he said that he stayed away from drugs now. She would assume that if he was caught with anything he could get kicked off the team. She didn't really see that happening though considering Jack was a prized player. King of the team really. He'd made more touchdowns than anyone else this year. They'd be stupid to risk championships over some weed, in her eyes at least.


She nodded a little bit, deciding to give the idea some thought. How were they suppose to go about that though? What did they tell people when they went back to school and they were suddenly friends and making conversation? "Me?" She asked with almost a look of confusion on her face. What was there to say? "Well... Um... I like to draw and paint. And I've been taking dance classes for a while... And, yeah." She shrugged lamely and laughed, not really sure what else to tell him. She wasn't as exciting as him and didn't have any cool stories to tell him. She was a pretty average girl which was why the idea of being with him was so... Weird. Not that they were like a couple or anything but just in general. Like talking to him. They couldn't be any different.

"Painting and dancing huh? That's pretty interesting. I know nothing about painting but dancing is another story. I'm a not bad dancer myself." He said with a smirk. "How about sports? You play anything? Like tennis or something?" Jack himself was comfused as to why he was asking her all these questions. But he really felt the need to get to know the girl that he'll be stuck with.


Jack then realized that he hadn't eaten anything all day. He was pretty hungry. He wondered if she was too. "Do you like omelettes? I'm pretty hungry and I'm thinking about making some. I've just recently learned how to make them. I've made omelettes onky twice to be honest. But they were edible and I survived the experience without any permanent damage." He said jokingly. He had made the decision to learn how to cook as he got sick and tired of eating junk food everyday. And there was no one around really to cook for him. Occasionally some of his friends would come and do some cooking but that's really it.

Cambree laughed, listening to Jack. "Sure," She teased with a smile,"And no. I'm not really coordinated or active enough for that. I mean. I guess dance is about as active as I get but it's ballet so it's not like, super cardio or anything. Mostly just strength and flexibility." Talking about it made her realize that she'd have to quit. After ten years of dance she'd have to quit because she was pregnant... She took in a deep breath, trying to shake that thought.


She smiled a little bit and then nodded. "Yeah, sure," She agreed to an omelet. She hadn't eaten yet because she was far too nervous through the whole day, thinking about what Jack was going to say to her and how this whole thing was going to play out. Now that he'd agreed to help her, she was feeling just a little bit better. She stood up when he did, leaving her purse and phone on the couch. She did a little turn as she followed him, watching as her dress swirled with her and she giggled slightly. Damn, she'd miss her cute clothes. She'd have to get maternity clothes eventually... Ugh.
