Adam's POV:
Fuck, I can't believe I got my best friend's sister pregnant. s**t, what am I going to do? I can't be a dad, especially in high school. I'm 17, I'll be a teen dad. But I don't want to...
Bethany's POV:
"Beth..." Brodie spoke out to me.
"I'm not gonna get an abortion, Brodie," I told him, my head in my hands.
"I'm not telling you to do that. I don't want you to get rid of my niece or nephew," he said then smiled.
The front door opened.
"Hi!" a familiar voice spoked. It was my mom.
"Mom?" I said.
"Why are you home?" Brodie asked, not in a mean way.
I ran into my mom's arms.
"Woah, you must really miss me," she said then hugged me back.
"Yeah, that isn't the only reason..." Brodie mumbled.
"What?" my mom asked. "And I'm home early because I missed you guys."
My mom and I pulled apart and I said, "You're always leaving mom."
"I'm sorry, Beth."
"Yeah, it's fine."
"But what is the other reason, Brodie?" my mom asked.
"Mom, I need.. I need to tell you something.." i said nervously.
"Oh no, honey. What is it?"
"You're not gonna like this.. you're gonna be really disappointed.." I said then bit my bottom lip.
"What is it, sweetie?" she asked me.
"Let's.. let's sit down, mom.."
We sat down on the couch.
"Mom.. I'm pregnant.." I said quietly.
"What?"
"I'm pregnant.." I repeated.
"No, I heard you, Bethany. Pregnant?" she said in shock.
"Yes mom..."
"By who?" she asked still in shock.
"A.. Adam.." I hesitated.
"Adam Ridgeway? Brodie's best friend? The bad boy?"
"Yup, unfortunately," I said biting my bottom lip again but harder this time.
"What are you going to do, Beth? Are you gonna keep-"
"Of course I am, mom! I am gonna keep my baby!" I shouted.
"What is he gonna do? What is Adam gonna do?" she wondered.
"I.. I don't know. He told me that he doesn't want me to get an abortion but.. he.. doesn't want to be involved either.."
"Alright, sweetie. What do you want to do?" she asks.
"I.. I don't know. I want to keep my baby though." I touched my stomach. "I love my baby."

Adam's POV:
"You're seriously so fucken dumb, Adam," Brodie said to me.
"I can't believe you knocked her up and got her pregnant," said Andrew.
"Shut the f**k up!" I snapped. I was thinking of what to do. What to do with Beth and the baby.
"She's my sister, Adam. I'm pissed at you still. Whether or not you're my best friend. I can't believe you got her in bed with you and got her pregnant. You're gonna be a fucken dad to yours and Beth's kid. You gotta change yourself," he said fiercely.
"Look, I'm sorry, okay?" I said then took out a smoke.
"Sorry, my ass," he said then left.
"What's his problem?" Andrew asked.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have done that to Beth. I gotta stop and change."
But I can't...
