"Yeah. As far as I know."

"You're beautiful."

I blush. I've never been called beautiful before. Only one person has called me that before but I forgot. I just remember that he is important. "Thank you." He steps closer to me. If I moved an inch closer, then we would be kissing. "What's your name?"

"That's not important."

"That's an interesting name."

He brought has ear to my mouth and whispered, "follow me." He gripped my arm and pulled me up the stairs. I drink the vodka that's in my hand and follow him into the dark bedroom. He closes it behind him.

I don't want to remember the rest. I don't want to know how he put his lips on mine. How we made out and unhooked my bra. I don't want to know about the dirty stuff we did and the things I'll never be able to get out of my head. I feel disgusted in my own body. I felt this way before, but now that I know who it was? It's worse.

Caleb punches him in the face and the two of them start fighting.

"Hey! Stop it!" I go over to try to stop them when Marcus accidentally punches me. They stop fighting.

"Penelope!" Sabrina screams. She stomps over the Marcus and hits him in between the legs a couple times. "That's for taking advantage of my best friend! And for not telling her! For punching her!

Caleb is looking at where Marcus punched me. "I'm fine," I lie.

"You're bleeding."

"It was an accident!" Marcus pleads while still lying on the ground.

"What was the sex or the punch?" Sabrina asks.

"Both."

"Really?" I say. "Because I remember that you knew what you were doing. You wanted to get me into bed."

"I was just as drunk as you were."

"It was your party!" Caleb screams.

"What's going on out here?" Amanda walks out of the gym pretending to be innocent.

"Don't you pretend to have nothing to do with this. You told everybody about me."

Amanda smiles ever so innocently, "I was just hurrying up the inevitable, sweetie. How surprising was this news, Caleb? Bet you don't want to be with this hoe any longer. Why don't you come hang out with a queen."

"I'm not going anywhere with you."

"What?" Amanda's face falls. She quickly replaced it by a fake smile. "No matter. We'll see soon how you like being with a girl that has a kid and raising a child that isn't yours."

She spins on her heel back towards the gym. "I'll walk you home." Caleb offers.

"I have a faster way, you know. It's called a car." Marcus shows us his keys.

"You're crazy if I'm letting Penelope near you." Sabrina steps up for me. Like always.

"I never want to see you ever again." Caleb says I disgust to his ex-best friend.

Caleb, Sabrina and I start to walk home, two miles away.

I wake up the next day, still in my homecoming dress next to Sabrina. Looks like she stayed the night after we found out about Marcus. I sit up and just do nothing for a while. I don't know how long I sit there when Sabrina says, "Morning." I notice and left the good out of good morning.

"Morning," I whisper.

"Let's go shopping." She jumps in front of me.

"What?" I'm going through the the worst time of my life, and all you can think of is shopping?"

"No, silly. Well, yes. But shopping for maternity clothing. You'll be big soon. Your normal clothes won't fit you so we might as well."

"I'm not in the mood."

"Please? I have to cheer you up somehow. We tried ice cream last night." She gestured to the three empty containers of ice cream on the floor. "The second thing is going shopping." When I don't respond she says, "Do you want me to get Caleb to come over here."

I shake my head. "No. I don't want him to see me like this. Let's go shopping." I put on a fake smile but Sabrina is my bestest friend in the whole world.

"You don't have to put up a fake front around me. Don't fake your emotions. If you want to randomly like start crying then okay. I won't judge you. But I'll admit we have to do something with you hair because it looks like a bird made a nest in it."

I chuckle and she smiles at me. "Okay." I say. Before I know it I feel water coming out of my eyes. I start sobbing and crying like crazy. Sabrina is by my side, her arm around my shoulder. I feel like a little kid cuddled up next to her. But she has seen me in my worst times and me her. She keeps reassuring me that everything is going to be okay.

"We'll get through this. I'll be by your side every step of the way."
