(Completed & sequel is posted, it's called Unfolding The Unplanned.)
Nobody's life is mapped out for them, nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. Lacey Mayes didn't know she would be taking on a serious reasonability and having to choose between kee...
So I am can either do two things again, I can either apologise or bite back. I have changed since I have become pregnant, I have gotten cocker and I have gotten stubbornness and I don't take bull crap from anyone. Not even someone who I hate, which just happens to be Chloe and Jemma.
"For your information, I have a name and it is Lacey. For second can you please move away from me as I need to go to my locker and you are in the way! So it will be very nice of you if you can move." I bite back.
Chloe glares at me and picks up her red bag from the floor with her newly done nails. Jemma huffs and moves away from my locker. I pass them as they walk past me (heading towards the toilets, I am guessing to re-apply their makeup). Rolling my eyes at them. I open up my locker and collect my things for today. Slamming my locker shut, I come face to face with Evie. Evie is currently wearing a dark red shirt that comes to her knees with black ankle boots and a grey jacket. "Hi, you okay? You look pale." She asks me, clutching her books towards her chest.
"Yeah I am okay, I do look pale but at least my morning sickness has gone down. It doesn't happen anymore what is a good thing." I state to her, closing my locker. We walk towards the assembly hall. Talking about random stuff.
I open the assembly doors, to find the head of year talking about god knows what. "So you are five months right? Aren't you nervous though as like you are going to be a Mother in eight months' time?" She informs me as we walk inside the assembly doors. She speaks a little too loud as the head of year has stopped talking.
Everyone whips there head around to face us, Olivia is seated on the second row back as she can't be arsed to walk up the flight of stairs to sit at the back, where all the 'idiots' sit. So she is either at the bottom or at the top; today she is at the bottom.
Whispers go around the assembly hall, some not even talking about us and some are talking about Evie but most of them are talking about the fact that I am pregnant. Which is bloody annoying.
"Can you please sit down or you may infect someone or get them pregnant. You all know all about the rumours that go around. She is infected." Jemma sniggers at no one in particular but everyone listens.
No one speaks up at the start but then Chloe says something. "Jemma that is not very nice at all. I'm sorry Lacey and Evie. She is pathetic." Chloe speaks up, nudging Jemma and scolds her.
"It's okay." I mumble.
The head of year gives us a look and finally speaks up. "I can't believe how you all are! It is not nice to speak about people like that. Yes she is pregnant and so is her friend but it is annoying. I constantly hear about those petty rumours that go around. But excuse my French but you all b*tch about everyone. Girls and guys are b*chty. Us teachers at b*tches and idiots too but not on the same level as you lot are. You need to realise that comments can hurt each and everyone of you. It doesn't have to be a big comment, a small one can be just as bad."
"Adding onto this, you all need to nicer when you speak to each other. You can't be nice to someone and then just b*tch behind their back. It is not nice, at all. You need to get along. Let this be a warning, if you push people away, they won't keep coming back. You all need to think long and hard about each other and what you want people to see you as. You want them to see you as a person, not as a person who talks crap about each other." He states.
He rubs his face with his hands. "Anyway, I have wasted enough of my time lecturing about this topic but I will be keeping a close eye on you lot and making sure you are okay. Adding onto this, you have an open day next Saturday and I would like you lot to join and do tours if you are okay to. Just go to madam at the end of the assembly." He speaks, changing the subject.
I and Evie take a step forward, walking towards the seats and thankfully no one pays attention to us.

"This chocolate cake is bloody lovely, it just melts in your mouth. I don't know if it is a mixer between hot and sticky with hot chocolate inside. Oh my, I need this in my life." I exclaim at Toby who is currently shoving in a slice of cheese cake.
He places his fork down on his now empty plate, rubbing his stomach, he sighs. "Lacey, I know I am going to go and see the world. But I am only going for training. If I don't like it or if you don't want me to go then I don't have to go. I can stay here, I can get a 'normal' job. Just say the word and I can stay here." He informs me.
I don't know why but I feel a mix of emotions run through me as a tear leaves my eye. Taking his hand in mine, I give him a smile. "Listen here darling, I don't want you to stay here, yes I will miss you but I will always miss you wherever you decide to end up. I want you to go and concur your dreams, make them happen. Go on this training because you want to, not because you are scared of what will happen. I love you and I don't want you to not go. You want to go and I want you to go too. So do us both a favour and go." I inform him, he rubs his fingertips against my hand, and then he gives it a small kiss.
Toby takes a little black box out of his trouser pocket. "Thank you babes. Now I am going to ask you something, you can also say no but I am going to tell you one thing. I am not going to propose to you but it is a promise ring. A ring to state that I am devoted to you. I love you Lacey and I know we have only been together for a short period of time but I do really love you. Love is love, not matter what form it comes in. I promise to stay by your side and to love you." He says to me which just brings more tears to my eyes.
But these are happy tears, I now know that I love this boy who I am sitting by, I don't care what people think of us or care that we are 'too young' but as Toby said, we are not getting engaged.

"Please be okay, you will be okay, right?" I ask Toby, releasing his arm.
"Yes I will be okay, you will be okay right? It's just two weeks, then I will be back. It will be over before you know it." He says to me, getting down on one knee, he lifts my top up and gives me stomach a kiss.
A smile spreads onto my face as he gets back up. "I got to go. My train will go." He states, he gives me a quick kiss and turns his head and walks away – heading towards the train.
"I love you, I will miss you but I will see you soon. Darling." I reply to him, waving at him as he enters his train.
I stand there for another couple of minutes, as the train leaves the station, a tear falls from my eyes. I will miss him but I love him and I will wait.

End of chapter 21.
This chapter was hard to write at the start but then I got into it and it became this. I am not sure if I can update for two weeks but I may be able to.
I would like to finish this story by Christmas but it may not happen but a girl can dream, right?
Questions:
1. What do you like to do in your free-time?
2. What music are you into?
3. Do you think they are too young to be promised to each other?
Anyway, I am going to go.
Vote, comment and fan.
