I opened the bathroom door and stuck my head out. They were all standing in the hallway. Lia was eating some french fries. Its fucking 6 am now and she's eating fucking french fries. Gerard is drinking something hot- coffee I guess and Bob has an empty soda cup dangling in his hand...

"Well that sure took you long enough!" Lia says rolling her eyes a little. "Now what?" She asks.

"I guess we wait." I shrugged. I mean I never did this before. Lia pushes past me into the bathroom. She grabs the instructions and starts reading them over.

"Okay umm..." She says squinting a little. I was clenching the small stick tightly in my hand. I leant against the wall. Gerard came over and wrapped his arm around me.

'Its gonna be okay." He whispers to me. God I'm trying so hard not to cry right now...

"Here it is." Lia says lifting her head. "Does it have one blue line or two?" She says raising her eyebrows at me.
I look down at it. It didn't have any blue lines. The little window was pink. Well pinkish red. I shake my head no.

"Its pink Lia." I tell her.

Gerard looks over my shoulder at it. "What the fuck does pink mean?" he says.

"Maybe you're having a girl!" Bob laughs a little.

Gerard smile. "I think I'd like that." He says kissing my neck. "How bout you Elle?" He laughs a little squeezing me.

"Come on Gerard." I sigh.

"Okay here it is!" Lia cries out. "Uhhh, if the test window doesn't show a blue line and is pink or red in color that means-" Lia stopped talking suddenly and looked up at me blankly.

"That means what?" I scream at her, pulling away from Gerard and snatching the paper from her hand. I look it over quickly. "That means the test is defective and should be brought back the place of purchase for a refund!" I read. "Son of a bitch!" I yell crumbling the paper up.

I started crying. I couldn't hold it anymore.

"Its okay." Gerard said hugging me tightly. "Well just bring it back." He sighs.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I laugh a little. "You can't go back in there! That lady will fucking call the cops!" I tell him and he smiles.

"Being gay is not a crime Elle." He smiles at me.

"No, just give me the money. I'll buy another one myself." I say holding out my hand.

"Oh Elle." Lia said with a strange tone to her voice. "We umm... just spent the rest of the money." Lia said looking over at Bob.

"What?" I gasped.

"I mean when you were in there we got coffee and uh...fries." Lia said weakly holding the box of fries out for me. "You want some?" She asks weakly.

"You guys spent the rest of the money!!!" I yell and they all look down at the floor.

"I didn't know you were gonna need it!" Lia said and she truly sounded sorry.

"How am I gonna buy another test now!" I cry out.

"I have some money at home Elle." Lia said grabbing my arm. "In my jewelry box... you can have it." She says wrapping her arm around mine. "Come on, let's go before this guy throws us out too." She says pulling me towards the door.

We got back into Bobs car and headed towards Lia's house.

"You know it was just a stupid test." Gerard says to me rubbing my leg a little as I stared out the window.

"What?" I say looking over at him.

"It wasn't karma Elle." He said. Like he was reading my mind. "It was just bad luck." He sighs.

"That's what karma is Gerard." I said leaning over and laying my head in his lap. He reached over and placed his hand on my stomach.

"Its better this way." He whispers.

"What?" I whisper back.

"Come on Elle, do you really want to tell our kid we found out about them in a fast food restroom with their fucking nutty aunt hanging around and your ex husband?." He whispers nodding at Lia. I laughed a little. He stroked my cheek. "I love you Elle." He whispered.

"I love you too." I said as we pulled up in front of Lia's house. Bob had hit some rush hour traffic so it now almost 7 am.

"Just forget it Li- look at the time- I'm not gonna have enough time now..." I sigh. I cant fucking miss school again...

"No you will make it!" Lia insists jumping out. " Maybe you'll be like 5 minutes late for school but you'll make it I swear- Ill be right back" she says.

As Lia ran towards the door her father opened it to come out. She stopped suddenly.

"What the fuck are you doing here you bitch." He yells at her.

"Oh fuck no!" Bob mumbles getting out.

"I thought I told you not to come back." Bill yells at Lia.

"I just have to get something dad." She yells back. "Its still my house!"

"Bullshit! It's my house and I told you last night to get the fuck out!" he says and then looks over at Bob and smirks.

"Go to hell." Lia says flipping him off.

"Lia you get all your crap right now." He says pointing his finger at her. "I don't want you coming back here. You understand me." He yells at her.

"Fine!" She yells back. "Come on Bob you can help me." She says trying not to cry as she walks past her father. Bob doesn't say anything. He just stared at Bill as he followed Lia in.

I opened the car door to get out. "Don't." Gerard said reaching for me, grabbing my bandage. I cried out in pain.

"Shit." He mumbled as I pulled my bandaged arm towards me, crying a little. "I'm so sorry." He said shaking his head a little.

"I'm okay." I say getting out. Bill looks up and sees me and smiles a little.

"You." He says folding his arms.

"Why do you have to treat her like that." I say to him calmly.

"Stay out of this okay." He replies.

"She's your fucking daughter." I say disgusted with him. "But apparently I am too and oviously that doesn't mean shit to you." I snicker at him.

"For the last time Elle. I am not. your father." He said raising his voice slightly.

"Bill!" I laugh. "Tell the truth for once in your life!" I hiss at him.

"The truth?" He says stepping closer to me. "You want the truth Elle." He whispers loudly inches from my ear. "Yeah I fucked your mother... she was good too, looked a lot like you." He said leering at me a little. I took a step back and bumped into Gerard, I didn't realize he was right behind me...

"You're sick, you know that! You're my fucking father!" I said to Bill shaking a little.

"Naw.Im not your father." He laughed a little. "Your mother wouldn't stay still, no matter how hard I held her down...That little bitch...I had to grab her pretty little hair and hold her face down so I could come in her mouth." He said smiling a little.

I felt like I was gonna pass out.

"Bastard" Gerard yelled moving forward towards him. I threw myself in front of him and wrapped my arms around him.

"Stop! NO!" I yelled trying to hold him back.

"No fucking let him hit me." Bill scoffs. "Put his punk ass in jail where it belongs." He says.

"Gerard don't!" I cry out begging him. Gerard looked at me and unclenched his jaw a little. "Please." I say softly holding my breath. Bill was serious; he would call the cops and then what... Like they'd believe Gerard over Bill.... Fuck...

"Okay." Gerard looked at me and exhaled sharply. " Fine-I wont." I sighed in relief...

"Well then I will!" I hear Bob say loudly and then the loudest crack I ever heard. I turn around as Bobs fist collided into Bills face. Blood splattering everywhere...

Lia screamed dropping everything she was carrying. Lia's mom appeared in the doorway.

"Get out of here!" She yelled. "All of you!" She said rushing over to Bill.. How she could still be with him I'll never know.

"Mom!" Lia argued.

"No Lia." Her mom said helping her dad up. "I've told you already... we are not having this discussion again. Until you learn to respect your father, you are not to come back." She says loudly. "And if you are going to continue to hang around with 'trash'." She says looking right at me. "Don't ever come back." She says as they walk towards the front door. Lia started crying as her mom slammed the door. Bob went and picked up all her stuff.

I just stood there frozen in complete shock until Gerard grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the car.
Bob was mumbling something under his breath about Bill, but I couldn't make out what it was over Lia's sobs.

"What time is it Bob?" I say squeezing my eyes shut. He didn't answer...

"Elle..." Lia sniffled. "Can I um stay at your house today?" Lia asks.

"Of course Li." I say looking over at Gerard. He was staring out the window thinking pretty hard about something.

"Um I'm gonna stay with her." Bob said as we pulled up in front of the school. "Is that okay Elle.?"

"Yeah I guess," I said weakly getting out. My mind was spinning...He never fucked my mom... well not in the way she could get pregnant... then hes not... fuck... Unless he was lying. I just wasn’t sure about anything anymore…The first bell was ringing.

"Bob, no go-" Lia tells him still sobbing.

"Naw baby, I'm gonna stay with you." He says reaching over and rubbing her arm. "Ill just call and tell them I'm sick or something."

"The you better go before they see you." Gerard says as he gets out.

I waved bye as they drove away.

"You want me to walk you to class." Gerard asks. I look at him like he was crazy.

"Um aren't we in the same class?" I ask a little confused.

"Photo shop is over." He says making a face at me. "Today's the first day of the new quarter." He says frowning a little. "Don't tell me you don't know what class your suppose to go to!" He says wrapping his arm around me.
"I don't even have my book bag!" I laugh as we walk in.

"Not like you actually use it!" Gerard says kissing my cheek.

"Well where are you going?" I ask him.

"Computers." He sighs.

"Well then me too." I say and he smiles.

"You just can't show up." He says as the warning bell rings. I roll my eyes.

"Fine!" I sigh. "I guess I'll go the guidance office and find out." I say kissing him lightly on the lips in front of the computer room.

"Save it for after school." The computer teacher calls out and Gerard blushes a little. I smiled at him as I walked away...

Ugh...I headed towards the guidance office... maybe Mr. S wont be in today... I managed to find my way to the office easily... The school was much easier to navigate when you're not fucked up...

I go into the office and quietly ask the secretary for a reprint of my schedule. It said I was supposed to be in Home Economics? Is that some kinda joke. I was halfway through the door when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Well, where do you think you're going young lady?"...
