Falling

Chapter 4

Craig's POV:

After I called Zoe I felt more better than before . But there was something different in her voice. Yea I know to break up with somebody is hard but Zoe seems to be strong - she will forget it .

"Are you Craig Dewin?" a strange guy asked. "Yes I am . What's up?" "And Zoe is your sister right?" The boy was much smaller than me and he was a little bit fat. He wears a big glasses and his eyes were big and blue. "Sure! Why do you want to know this?" My sound was more angry because the little boy gets on my nerves. "Zoe is a hoe." The boy said and runs away. I wanted to catch him and gives him what he deserves but I couldn't find him anymore. "Damn fuck y'all if y'all had a problem with my sister Zoe Dewin. She's amazing no matter what you think about her." I slapped my hands against the lockers. This was enough for me. I decided to leave the school and call Zoe again for taking me home.

I went outside but in the next moment I felt someones hand on my left shoulder.

Zoe's POV:

I cooked something for the lunch because Craig would came home soon. He only has 2 more lessons.When I wanted to start boiling the water I heard the doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw a pretty girl which was not older than me and she smiles at me like I would be someone special. "Hi I suppose you are Zoe aren't you?" She smiles bigger. "Yes that's right. And who are you? I don't really know you." I said with a smile too. I liked the girl because of her good vibes and her friendly presence. But She wasn't in my school and I didn't see her before. "Well, I'm Brenda and yes I know that you don't know me because I'm new in this city. My parents are divorced and I lived with my mum in England. But now my dad moved from Washington to Atlanta and I wanted to be by his side if he'll started new. So I will be here for a few years till I finished High School and maybe then I would travel back to England but I don't really know. And I only wanted to say Hello like good new neighbors do and I have a cake for you too!" omg she spokes much. "Oh okay . Well, do you want to come in?" I asked politely. "Yeah thanks a lot!" She walked in. Now I saw her whole outfit and her look. She was a little bit taller than me and she had long blonde curly hair. She wears a cute white dress with little strawberries as print. This situation was very uncomfortable for me because I only wear some old and ugly jogging pants and a large 'Atlanta High- Football Team'- Hoodie from Craig. Yes my brother was much more popular than me. He was the team captain of the football team from our school and he had better marks. Also he looks so fantastic because he has muscles over muscles over his whole body and yes Craig's six pack was something that Jake had always admired on him. Shit now I had to think about Jake. I only hate him. "Is everything alright should I better go?" Brenda asked quiet. Now I recognized that she was still beside me. "Yes everything's alright." I put on a fake smile but anyway I was happy that she was here. What's wrong with me? I couldn't decide if I enjoy that she's here or if I don't. Oh gosh I think these are the pregnancy hormones- yes the pregnancy. My pregnancy. I looked down and I knew Brenda won't believe me in that I told her everything was alright. She turned around and put down the cake on the table then she looked at me with a sad view and in the next second I felt that she hugged me. Tears came out of my eyes and I begin to cry- louder and louder. I couldn't stop me I only wanted the past back. Brenda was calm and strokes about my hair. I felt so ashamed for crying in my new neighbors shoulder but I didn't know more. After an hour which was Full of my awful crying depression I could stop myself. It was embarrassing to see Brenda's shocked face. She still didn't know what's going on with me- or better what's going on in me, that's my baby. Brenda got up to give me an tissue , then she hugged me -again. Now I couldn't stop myself anymore. Lots of words came out of my mouth and I told her all the things which pulls me do down - my pregnancy, my familiar situation, the situation between Jake and me, my financial status ... After a long time , the last sentence was spoken and I had to hold myself back for starting crying again. I know Brenda was more than shocked now. Her impression in her face show me that she didn't know what to say to that. She looked at my stomach and then at me and then again at my stomach . " I'm the first person who knows this?" She asked carefully. I nodded. Brenda looked down on the floor . Suddenly she stand up and walked out of my apartment. This was the most horrible reaction ever for me. But I was too empty of tears to begin to cry again so I only went back to my room and locked the door.

Craig's POV:

I turned around to see who's it is. "Mister Dewin! You still had your classes now. You can't leave like you want to . You're a teenager and you had to stay in school or should I call your dad?" Mrs. Fraser asked with an angry view. Shit there was one day in life I wanted to go home and a teacher catch me before. But if this old bitch takes it serious to call my dad because of this I would go ,yet- no matter if that would causes more problems than before. Dad is always working to let us have a preferably comfortable life standard. He does everything for us. I can't charge him with my typical teenager problems in school. I had to be an adult. No childish stuff anymore. " Alright I'll go back to my classes but please don't call my dad!"

I sounded like a kid. But I don't want to sound like one. "Yes Craig. I promise you that your father won't know what happened anyway but you had to promise me that you think about the consequences before you act. Do you understand? This is not a Drive In where everybody can leave if  he wants to. And now hurry up to get to your classes prompt now!"

I only nodded  and went back into the school building .
