Chapter 1
A month later...
"Julie!" Julie's head turned at the sound of her name being called which lead to her bumping into a locker. "Ow shit!" She shouted as she rubbed her forehead ignoring the laughter from her classmates. With a sigh, she turned around to face her friend Heather. "Oh gosh, are you alright?" Julie just nodded, trying to ignore the stinging on her forehead. "Okay good. Well hey listen. I got the thing you wanted..." Julie perked up a bit as Heather said that. "Oh thanks so much Heather, I would have been so humilated to have bought one of those." Heather pulled the pregnancy test that was in a long box out of her backpack and as discrete as possible, handed it to her friend. "You had five dollars left for change, but I figured thats a small price to pay me for going through this for you. So I kept the money and went to McDonalds." Heather confessed casually. Julie just nodded, slipping the box into her purse, adjusting her books. Heather wasn't a real good friend, she only knew her through family, but she came in handy and was always loyal. She didn't really have any friends, and it had been that way since middle school.
No girls wanted to be around her because everyone thought she was a slut because her mother slept with every guy that came across her path, so they assume she was on as well. Thats the reason why her father left them, because he was tired of the lies and cheating. Not like her father was any better anyway, he was too indulged into his law firm. He never had time for Julia, and she didn't know if she really cared. It had been this way for six years, and now that she was a senior in high school the only thing she had to look forward to was graduating and getting the hell out of Ohio.
The highlight of her whole entire life, the one thing that might have just made her have a small string of happiness, or pride, now might turn into a disaster.
"I really hope the test is negative Julie. You know, for your own sake, and your family's. If your...you know...you would have to drop out." Heather whispered, making sure the passerbyers that surrounded them didn't hear anything. Julie tried not to think about it, but it couldn't be helped. For the past three weeks she had been vomiting like crazy, and she had horrible cramps all over her body. She felt like shit half the time and there could only be one explanation. Now this was her proof...

"Yo Kev, pass me a fry." A.J. Mclean demanded, reaching for Kevin's stack of McDonald's fries. He recieved a slap on the hand for his attempt by Kristen, Kevin's wife. "Dammit A.J., go buy your own." She scolded. A.J. scowled, folding his arms and sinking into his chair. "So J, what's up with you and Chrissy?" Brian wondered, slipping his hand into his wife, Leighanne's. "Oh. I don't know. She wants to come down for your birthday, but I told her that you a full house already for the party." A.J. responded. "Man A.J., I hate to say it, but you need to hear it. You treat that girl like shit man. The only girl you ever treated right was Amanda, and thats only because she would bitch slap you if you didn't." Howie Dorough said to his best friend. "Oh come on, I treat her fine." A.J. defended himself, knowing that wouldn't be any use. He was never good with relationships, and he was getting tired of these girls. Women were driving him crazy. They were starting to change his whole attitude, he was starting to think that they were only good for one thing. "He's right A.J., you need to find a girl that you can devote yourself to. And I know your thinking there is none, but I bet you, there is. And one day your whole attitude is gonna change." Nick Carter chimed in. "Yeah...whatever..."
