Max was laying on Alana’s bed. She had her head on his chest still. “I am sorry that we didn’t keep the promise waiting to marriage.” Max says.
“It’s alright.” Alana answered. Tj went passed the bedroom in the hallway. The door was shut and locked. But he knew he heard them.
“I wonder if her dad knows about that. Oh well…” Tj walked away and went to his bedroom.
“I…I am too young to get pregnant.” Alana says to Max and sat up. “I don’t know if I want to or not. I mean I really wouldn’t mind having a baby with you.” Alana touches Max’s face.
“Alana, my grandpa would probably kill me if I end up getting you pregnant. I don’t know how my parents would feel about that. My mom is 13 or 14 years older than me. She would be a young grandma then.”
“That is true. She would be 29 or 30 right?”
“I think so.” Max sat up and brought Alana close to him. “I really don’t want to go home. It’s not my parents, it’s when that fight is going on with my grandpa. He keeps starting shit almost every day.”
“I just don’t understand why he’s doing that. Your parents are fighting for you right with the court?”
“I think so. I can’t take it honestly. All the fighting. My grandpa has been pressuring me a lot too when I answer the phone when my parents aren’t home. It’s even when he catches me outside. He keeps trying to tell me lies so I will move in with him in his apartment. I can’t stand it.”
“You really want to live with your parents?” Alana asks.
“Yes.” Max replies. “My grandpa just has been being really rude.”
“I feel so upset about how much you have to suffer.” Alana kisses Max.
It was now midnight. Robert and Ronnie had found beer in the fridge. It was Rick’s beer. They brought some in Lacy’s bedroom and was drinking it. Lacy was just sitting on her bed staring at the both of them.
“You both are going to get me into trouble. I am telling dad I didn’t drink them if he asks.” Lacy says.
“Who gives a fuck.” Robert sat down on the bed and opened the beer can. He started to drink it.
“Your dad got you a little TV in your bedroom? Let’s watch a movie.” Ronnie suggested. “Got any porn? Max had lots of those.”
“Ronnie, porn is not a movie. It’s a dirty flick. I am not into that stuff.” Lacy said and got up off the bed and left the bedroom.
“Yeah, but I am.” Ronnie laughed. “Are you into porn?”
“Sometimes.” Robert admits.
“Remember how we used to steal dad’s porn and watch it behind his back?”
“I remember.” Robert said and sits the beer can down on the end table. “We still do that. How can I forget?”
“Dad really got pissed one day when he walked in on us watching it!” Ronnie laughed.
“Yeah and we got grounded.” Robert mumbled. Lacy came back into the bedroom with a can of soda and a movie.
“I found something for us to watch. Ronnie, why don’t you go check the kitchen for some snacks for us?” Lacy suggested.
“Alright!” Ronnie left the bedroom. Robert was staring at Lacy.
“Hey, I know what you asked Ronnie.”
“Do you like to eavesdrop?” Lacy asked as she was setting the TV up for the movie.
“You don’t want a kid, why did you even ask Ronnie that?” Robert asks.
“I know you’re getting jealous, but I was just trying to be nice to Ronnie. I feel like I don’t spend much time with him because you like hogging it.”
“Hey!” Robert glares at her. Lacy finished setting the movie up and sat down on her bed.
“I am not mad at you.” Lacy tells him. Robert blushes a little at her. Ronnie came back into the bedroom with a lot of snacks that he found.
“I hit the jackpot!” Ronnie smiled. Robert turned the movie on and Ronnie shuts the bedroom door. Ronnie sat down on the bed and was eating some chips as he watched the movie.
Max wakes up. “What time is it?” He wondered. He noticed Alana laying next to him. “Did we ended up passing out?” Max wondered. He looked at the clock. “Shit!” Alana woke up.
“What’s the matter?” She asked rubbing her eyes.
“I didn’t go back home and it’s midnight!” Max got up off Alana’s bed and was getting dressed.
“It is?!” Alana couldn’t believe it. She stared at the clock and realized the time too. “You better get home!”
“I know!” Max finished getting dressed. He walks over to Alana and kisses her. Alana blushed. “See you later.” Max said and left the bedroom. He then left the house and was on his way to get back home. “I can’t believe I slept so much over there! I hope my parents aren’t angry with me! I don’t want my grandpa finding out!” Max made it home. He was trying to catch his breath as he stood in front of the front door. “I don’t even got a damn key!”
“It’s very late. Where’s Max?” Davina asks Harlan. She felt worried.
“I am not sure. He didn’t mention about sleeping over a friend’s place did he?” Harlan asks Davina. She shook her head.
“Should we call the cops?” Davina asks. Just then there was a knock at the door. Harlan went to answer it. Standing there was Max.
“Where was young?!” Harlan asked. Max looked down.
“I am sorry. I fell asleep.” Max says. “I should’ve told you if I would be late.”
“Yeah, you should’ve. Come in.” Harlan said to Max. Max could feel that his dad was upset with him.
“Max! We were worried about you!” Davina says as she went over to Max and hugs him. “Are you alright?”
“I am fine. I just passed out. I am sorry.” Max apologized.
“You should have told us that you were going to be out a little late.” Harlan says and sighs. “Reminds me of a time when I went out with Davina when we were young.”
“I remember that.” Davina blushes.
“I feel tired. Can we discuss this when we wake up?” Max asked.
“It is getting pretty late. Alright, when you get up we will discuss this.” Harlan tells his son. Max went to his bedroom. He just wanted to go to sleep. He felt exhausted. Especially from what he did with Alana.
Robert was awake. He was sitting outside on the porch of the house. Smoking. Ronnie and Lacy were sleeping by each other in the bed. “Is it really right for letting lacy have the both of us?” Robert wondered to himself. “Her parents doesn’t exactly want us both to date her, but doesn’t mind if we be her friend. It’s just… I don’t even know how much more I can take from this. I feel jealous of times she spends with Ronnie. I tried dating other girls and that doesn’t work. I can’t stop thinking of Lacy.” Robert dropped his cigarette on the ground and smashes it. “I don’t think Ronnie would actually try to date another girl to see if he can forget about Lacy. Things are just difficult.”
Ronnie woke up and realized that Robert wasn’t in the bedroom. “Where is Robert?” Ronnie wondered and quietly got out of bed. He then left the bedroom and went looking for Robert. He didn’t see him anywhere in the house and so Ronnie decided to look outside. He saw him sitting on the porch. “Couldn’t sleep?” Ronnie asked.
“I can’t.” Robert admits. Ronnie came outside and sits down on the porch next to Robert.
“Are you upset?”
“Just in deep thought.” Robert replied. “How much longer can you actually take us both being with Lacy? Come on, I know you hate it as much as I do. You don’t like me being with Lacy as much as I don’t like you being with her. Admit it.”
“I guess that secret is out. I want Lacy all for myself.” Ronnie said to Robert.
“Lacy wants to be with the both of us though.” Lacy had woken up and noticed both of them wasn’t in the bedroom. She happened to go in the living room and heard someone talking on the porch. She peaked out the window and saw the both of them.
“I don’t understand why you want to be with Lacy if she actually got pregnant by me.” Ronnie laughs.
“Honestly, do we really know who was the father of that?” Robert asks.
“Lacy insists it was me. She claims to have gotten pregnant at the time I was just with her and if that’s the case, don’t you think I won our little bet?”
“Huh? Oh. You mean if she got pregnant by one of us first bet?” Robert asks.
“Yeah. But you’re still with her. I don’t like this as much as you don’t. We both want to be her only boyfriend.” Ronnie said with a glare.
“Lacy doesn’t want that. She wants the both of us. Do you really want to see her cry?” Robert asks.
“They both don’t want to do this… This relationship where I am so selfish and trying to have them both. I am hurting the both of them.” Lacy thought to herself. “How can I be so selfish? I wasn’t even thinking of their feelings but my own. Maybe I should go to my mother for advice.” Lacy walks away and went into the hallway. She was about to knock on her parents’ bedroom door but decided not to after what she heard going on in there.
“Rick…” Was the quiet moans she heard.
“Mom and dad are so sick sometimes…” Lacy thought to herself and decided to go back into her bedroom. Robert stood up.
“I am going back in.”
“Maybe I should too.” Robert walks into the house along with Ronnie. They both go to Lacy’s bedroom and seen her awake with her bedroom light on.
“You’re awake?” Robert asks her.
“You two… I…” Lacy looks down. She wasn’t sure what to say. Her thoughts were going around in circles in her head.
“Is something the matter?” Ronnie asks. He sat down on the bed next to Lacy. He touches her shoulder. Robert sat down on the other side of her.
“I…I…” Lacy felt like she was upset. “I have been selfish.”
“What do you mean?” Robert asks her. “How have you been?”
“I… I want you both for myself but you don’t want to both be with me! You want to… to be my only boyfriend! You both don’t like seeing the other with me too!” Lacy didn’t even notice tears started coming from her eyes.
“Lacy, did you hear us?” Robert asked.
“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop!” Lacy admits. “Dammit! Why didn’t you both just have that conversation at your home?! But I am being selfish!”
“Even if you are being a little selfish, we both don’t hate you for it.” Ronnie says. “I am sorry for you to hear that. Look, we aren’t mad at you for anything.”
“But you both hate it!” Lacy says trying to dry her tears.
“Even if we do, you don’t want to be apart from us and we don’t want to be apart from you. We have to make it work.” Robert tells her. He brings her close to him. Lacy blushes as Robert hugged her.
