Chapter 21 - Fighting

Jaymi was a nervous wreck. Isaac was due over at her house any minute and she was planning on telling him her secret. She new that he wasn't going to be very happy and she was dreading the moment when the truth would come out. Only her and Brian were home, only he was up in Malcom's room, which Jaymi was glad for. The doorbell rang and Jaymi jumped about three feet in the air. She walked slowly to the door and opened it. Isaac was on the other side, grinning and he stepped forward, giving Jaymi a hello kiss.

"Hi!...I missed you!" He greeted her. Jaymi forced a laugh.

"You only saw me yesterday!" She told him.

"I know..but I want to be with you all the time! and I miss you when I can't be with you." He said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders as they sat down in the living room. Jaymi took a deep breath. It's now or never! Jaymi thought to herself.

"Uhh...Isaac, there's something I have to tell you..." Jaymi trailed off. Isaac knew it wasn't good news as Jaymi hardly ever called him "Isaac". It was almost always Ike.

"Yeah..." He said, waiting for her to go on. When she didn't speak, Isaac started to get worried. Oh god! what if she knows about Gemma? He thought to himself.

"Well, you remember that time in your car up at Hunters Point?". Hunters Point was a place where a lot of couple's went to make out, or make love. It was a cliff, looking over the city of Tulsa. (*Authors Note: Hunters Point is nonexistent, in other words, completely made up!*) Isaac nodded.

"Yeah well, I might as well just tell you, I think I might be pregnant." Jaymi blurted out. Isaac's mouth dropped open.

"Are you sure?" He asked, disbelief filled his voice. Jaymi nodded, looking down at her feet.

"I'm a week late." She said softly. Isaac stood up.

"Shit Jaymi! This can't be happening! I'm not ready to be a father yet!!" His voice started to raise.

"Don't yell at me! It's not my fault! Damn it Isaac! You were the one who wanted to go up there! Do you honestly think that I planned this!" Jaymi yelled. Isaac was silent.

"A week... that's not that late is it?" Isaac asked.

"I've never been late before..." Jaymi said, hoping that Isaac wouldn't throw another fit. Isaac groaned and sat down beside Jaymi again.

"What are we gonna do?" Isaac mumbled, pushing his hair away from his face. Jaymi shrugged.

"Kayla said to get a pregnancy test... but I don't want to go to the doctor anyway.. she would just tell mom... so I thought about getting a home test..." Jaymi suggested. Isaac nodded.

"I guess that's all we can do... wait a minute... Kayla knows?" Isaac asked.

"Yeah... why?" "Shit! now she's gonna tell Taylor.... fuckin' hell!"

"How do you know that she'll tell Tay?... who said she would?" Jaymi demanded, defending her sister.

"Why did you tell Kayla?... I didn't tell Taylor" Isaac said. Jaymi gave Isaac a look.

"Kayla is my twin sister Isaac... I tell her everything... and I mean everything. What you do and don't tell Taylor is your business.... and vise versa!" Jaymi said through clenched teeth.

"You have got to be joking!" Zac exclaimed. C.J smiled and shook her head.

"Nope! I saw it!"

"I can't believe that! that's gross!.... were they really holding hands?"

"Yup... two girls holding hands... and looking very friendly" C.J said. Zac pulled a face and pretended to gag.

"Yuck!... how could they do that?"

"How would I know?" C.J asked. Zac shrugged. Ever since the day Zac made C.J laugh, they had been spending more and more time together. C.J had told Jake that she wasn't going back to New York... except to get her stuff, and that would only be for two days and she would be with her Mom and Brian... they were also going to bring back Brad. It was a hot day and the two of them were sitting in Zac's tree house, eating large ice creams, made for them by Mrs. Hanson.

"So, what are we gonna do?" Zac asked. C.J shrugged. She sat back against the warm wood of the tree house wall and finished off the last of her ice cream. Zac did the same. After a few minutes of silence, Zac said "This is really boring".

"Well, you think of something then!" C.J burst out, sitting up. She looked down and played with one of the rings on her fingers.

"When are you going back to New York?"

"Uh.. in about two day's time... Dad and Bandon promised to be out of the house for two day's while Mom, Brian, Brad and I pack up our stuff... then we're coming back here to live... Mom just has to find a house for the four of us... until then, we are staying with Jaymi and Kayla..." C.J said, sighing.

"You don't sound to happy about that" Zac said.

"Well, I had made this one friend there... and now I have to leave h-" C.J stopped herself before she said "him".

"You have to leave..." Zac waited for C.J to finish her sentence.

"Uh... him... my friend"

"Oh... was he your boyfriend?"

"No" C.J lied. After that Zac grew a little cold and distant for the rest of the afternoon.

-----------------------------------------------

"Ok Tay... spit it" Kayla said, slightly annoyed.

"Huh?"

"What's bugging you?" Kayla asked.

"Nothing" Taylor mumbled, not looking at Kayla.

"Don't give me that shit. Tell me what is wrong"

"Nothing is wrong!" Taylor cried out.

"Don't yell at me! You wouldn't be yelling if something wasn't wrong" Kayla said. Taylor shut his eye's and laid back on the grass. The two of them were sitting in a nearby park. Taylor had been moody all day and now Kayla had had enough.

"What's going on with you and that Brian boy?" Taylor blurted out. Kayla's mouth dropped open.

"Nothing! What kind of question is that?" Kayla demanded. Taylor shook his head.

"Sorry... you just seem to be spending a lot of time with him"

"Taylor... he lives with us... he is C.J's brother for crying out loud!"

"So! that doesn't mean you have to spend your every waking moment with him! You're my girlfriend not his!" Taylor snapped.

"You don't own me Taylor! I can spend my time with who I want when I want! you do NOT have any say in that!" Kayla yelled.

"You would be feeling the EXACT same way if I was spending all my time with some girl!" Taylor yelled back.

"How do you know that? you're not a mind reader you know! God! you are so immature and jealous! that's really pathetic Tay"

"Pathetic am I? Immature am I? Great to know what you really think of me Kayla" Taylor said.

"I didn't mean it that way and you know it!" Kayla said. Taylor shook his head and got up.

"I'm outta here... I don't have to take this shit. Especially from you" He said as he stormed off. Kayla sat on the grass and watched Taylor walk away. She soon felt the hot tears fall down her cheeks. Damn him! she screamed in her mind.
