Fragile Future *shadowpook and I*

Charlie wrapped her arms around teh shakig Lily and hugged her tight. "hey tehre shush."

Lilly sobbed "I cn't have a baby!"

"But you refuse to have an abortion."

"I don't know what to do! Dad'll hate me if I have an abortion, but if I keep it I'll get called a slag by everyne at school..."

"Your in years eleven right? how long till you exit school?"

"Year 10" said Lilly "And I'm staying through till year thirteen. Why?"

"Your only fifteen? holy shit. right. Erm...SO todays..You should give birth in teh middle of teh summer holidays." said Charlie thinking it through.

"People will still notice I'm pregnant" said Lilly "That doesnt solve anything"

"No, but teh worst of its okay. You can take a couple of weeks off because of your parents bbreak up, say your going through something..."

"And hen I start to how?"

"Wear baggy clothes at first, and for PE get your mum t send a note."

Lilly sniffed "How can I tell her?"

"I'll tell her. I'll explain it to her. Sh ecant say no to taking you back in after this. You could make it up to her."

Lilly nodded subdued "I'm tired"

"Lets get you to bed. DO youw ant to go to your own bedroom so shayne doesnt throw a fit?"

Lilly nodded and went to her room.

Shayne looked at Cgharlie "What was THAT et of sobbing about?"

"up yours" groaned Charlie, falling back wards onto teh sofa.

"orry for being orried about y sister"

Gerard sat next to her and put an arm round her.

"You didnt just have to calm her down as she puked nad as her moods went up and down like a fucking rolercoaster. YOU didnt have to see her face as she relised, taht as much shit as she is going through, that you, and me, have gone through ten times worse. You should have seen her face. it was fhorrible."

Shayne whinced.

Charlie just looked at him, then up and gerard. Her eyes were still empty of emotion as she glanced down again

Gerard hugged er "I can't say I understand, since I'm pretty much the only one who han't been through shit" he murmered "But I can say I'm sorry it happened"

Shayen glanced at the door "I should go see her"

"No." said Charlie straight away. "She's asleep. Let her rest."

Shayne nodded then noticed the tick on the floor. he frowned and picked it up before jumping out of his skin "WHAT THE-" he stoppe dhimself yelling remembering Lilly as sleeping "Ok, please tell me I'm imagining theres a positive sign on this thing"

Charlie stood up adn ripped it out of his hand. "You mention two words to her bout this and i swear to god i will rip out your vacal cords and strangle you with them, after of course letting you have you last meal that will ne your anotomy system." hissed Charlie. She didnt know why she felt so strongly about this. She just...did.
