"Jaymi! ya gotta get up" Kayla yelled out, pounding her fist on Jaymi's closed bedroom door. Jaymi groaned and rolled over in her bed, clutching her stomach. She looked at her watch and saw that it was 11:23 am . She slowly rose from bed and gathered her clothes to take with her to the shower so she could get dressed while she was still in the bathroom.
"I hate Monday's" Jaymi grumbled. She pulled off her nightgown and then looked at her stomach. She wasn't pleased to see that she was beginning to show. Yet she couldn't help feeling slightly happy about it too. She ran a brush through her hair. She walked over to the shower and turned on the water. She adjusted the temperature of the water and then pulled off her underwear.
"Oh my god" Jaymi choked out, feeling sick. Her hand flew up to her mouth as she stared at the dark blood on her underwear. She knew that it could mean only one thing. She turned off the water and then threw on her clothes. She raced out of the bathroom and down the stairs, she was already sobbing heavily. She ran outside, not bothering to tell anyone where she was going and headed directly for Isaac's house.
"Where's Ike?" Jaymi cried once someone had opened the door. That someone was Taylor.
"Jaymi? what's wrong?" Taylor asked as he stared at a sobbing Jaymi. Jaymi shook her head.
"Nothing... is Ike here?"
"No... he's down at the mall with Zac and Mike..." Taylor said. Jaymi turned on her heel and started running in the direction of the mall. Not caring about Taylor, who was yelling out after her.
-------------------------------------
"YEAH! you owe me Five bucks now!" Zac exclaimed gleefully. He had just won a game against Mike.
"God Ike... where does your brother learn this?" Mike grumbled, handing over the $5.
"From the master of course" Isaac said, laughing.
"Oh, you must mean Taylor then" Mike said.
"Shut up" Isaac said. He was growing bored of watching his friend and brother feud over who was going to be the next video game champion. He went and sat down at one of the many tables in the arcade. It was kinda early so there wasn't that many people there... yet. Isaac knew from experience that by lunch time, the place would be filled with kids Zac's age and up.
"Ike!" A voice cut through Isaac's thoughts. He turned around and saw Kassie weaving her way through the tables.
"Hey Kass... you still haven't had that baby yet?" He asked. Kassie laughed and sat down across from him.
"Nope... this little guy wants to take his time... I think he likes it in there"
"Hmm... a nice warm water bed protecting you from the outside world... hey, I wanna trade places with that kid" Isaac said. Kassie laughed.
"I thought you would have been on tour by now"
"We leave in three day's..."
"It must be hard leaving Jaymi and the baby behind" Kassie said. Isaac avoided Kassie's eye's and nodded. Kassie looked at her watch and got up.
"Well, I just came to say hi... so seeya round Ike" She said and then walked away.
--------------------------------------
Jaymi had been searching for Isaac for nearly an hour. "God where is he?" Jaymi asked out loud. She had been crying non-stop and people were staring at her but she couldn't care. Suddenly she spotted him. He was standing behind Zac and Mike, watching them play some sort of video game in the arcade. Her heart wrenched when she saw him. She walked in and went directly up to Isaac. She wiped her face and then tapped him on the shoulder. Isaac turned around.
"Jaymi! what are you doing here?" He asked in surprise. At the sound of his voice, Jaymi broke down again. Isaac instantly wrapped his arm around her shoulders and led her out of the noisy arcade.
"What is it?.. what's wrong?" Isaac asked over and over.
"You're gonna hate me Ike... or maybe you won't cause you never wanted this anyway..." Jaymi said.
"What are you talking about? For god's sake just tell me!" Isaac said, getting angry.
"I LOST THE BABY!" Jaymi screamed out. She collapsed against Isaac's chest and sobbed uncontrollably. Isaac stood in shock.
"Jaymi are you sure?"
"I- I don't know Ike... all I know is that I went to have a-a shower and there- there was blood on my underwear... Ike i'm so sorry" Jaymi cried. Isaac hugged Jaymi closer and then kissed the top of her head.
"Shhh... it's ok... we'll get through this Jay... it's not your fault". Isaac went into the arcade and then came back out again with his car key's in hand. He took Jaymi by the hand and walked out to his car with her.
"Where are we going?"
"To a doctor to see if you really have lost the baby" Isaac said. Jaymi kept quiet. She was quiet all the way to the doctor that they had seen to see if Jaymi was pregnant. Two hours later Isaac and Jaymi walked out of the office, both quiet but walking with their arm's around each other.
"I'm so sorry Ike" Jaymi said.
"It's ok... it's better this way... we just weren't ready to be parents... you and I both know that"
"I guess... the doctor said I lost the baby because of all the stress of Kayla being in hospital..." Jaymi said as they reached Isaac's car. They got in and Isaac drove Jaymi home. Isaac pulled up her driveway and hugged her before she got out of the car. "We'll get through this Jay... I promise".
---------------------------------------
"I wish you didn't have to go Tay" Kayla said. Taylor was at Kayla's house and the two of them were sitting on the couch. Taylor was leaving for the airport in 2 hours. Zac was over at C.J's and Jaymi had gone to Isaac's house.
"I know... but we're going on tour... we can't just not go... I've got fans to commit to" Taylor said. Kayla sighed.
"Yeah I guess..."
"Kayla... stop it"
"Stop what?"
"Trying to put a guilt trip on me... Kayla... this is my job... you knew that I was leaving at the end of the summer when we first started going out... I'll only be gone for three months" Taylor said, starting to get annoyed by Kayla's attitude.
"But then you're going to LA. to record a new album! That'll take another six months... that's nine months that you're not going to be here" Kayla whined.
"I will be coming home every now and then. We have to come home to see Mom and also we're going to be home for both Isaac and Zac's birthdays... god Kayla it's not like you're not going to see me at all" Taylor said, getting up from the couch. He started to pace from one end of the room to the other. Something he did when he was angry or annoyed. Kayla knew she had upset Taylor so she got up and wrapped her arm's around him.
"I know... I'm sorry Tay... I'm just going to miss you..."
"I'm gonna miss you to" Taylor said.
"Also, I'm a little nervous about going to a public school. Mom is getting busier at work so Jaymi, Mal and I have to go to a normal school..." Kayla said.
"Going to a public school is not going to be the end of the world Kay... you'll be making new friends and it will help take your mind off other things"
"Like you?"
"Exactly" Taylor said, grinning. Kayla laughed and then kissed him. Taylor pulled away.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't kiss you"
"And why the hell not?" Kayla demanded.
"Because if I start to kiss you then I won't stop and then I'll be late and then my parents and my brothers will kill me" Taylor explained.
"You can't even give me just one more?" Kayla asked. Taylor sighed and looked like he was thinking about it. "You have to think about that?... god Tay, come here" Kayla said, pulling Taylor close to her as she planted kiss after kiss on his mouth. Finally Taylor pulled away once again.
"I have to go now hon" He said. Kayla looked up at him.
"You called me hon"
"Yeah..."
"You've never called me that before"
"You don't like it?"
"I love it" Kayla smiled. Taylor grinned and kissed her again. They both pulled away at the same time and walked to the front door.
"Bye Kay... I'll miss you" Taylor whispered.
"Bye... I'll miss you to... I love you"
"Love you to" Taylor said just as Isaac's car pulled up to pick Taylor up and drop Jaymi off. Jaymi got out of the car and as she passed Taylor, she hugged him. She then went and joined Kayla on the porch as they watched the two boy's drive away.
