Song: I wouldn't mind by He is We

When I get home I run upstairs and strip out of all my clothes and jump in the shower to get the rest of the sticky drink off of me. Some of it was even in my hair. Seriously. I wish that I had the nerve to punch her but then that would cause me to touch her and more than likely have her blood on me from hitting her so hard. I keep playing the scene over and over in my head. She did it on purpose just to piss me off and it worked. When I get out of the shower I dry off and then go to my room. I have to blow dry my hair because there is no way in hell that I am going to lay down in my bed with wet hair. I happen to stop to look at my phone and he has already text like five times. I send him a quick text and then dry my hair.

It takes a good fifteen minutes to dry it all the way of course I have to brush it several times on top of that. When I'm finished I climb in bed to let the weighted blanket engulf me. God it feels so good between that and my bed.

Over the weekend he comes over and we watch movies down in the den. My parents are out tonight and I forgot to mention that Kodiak might be coming over. Halfway through the movie somehow he finds himself on top of me and we are making out. His body feels wonderful on top of mine. I love how he always places the right amount of pressure on me. I'm not sure how it happens but suddenly his body is off of mine and my dad is yelling at him.

"What the hell is going on here?" My dad yells as he tosses Kodiak off of me.

I grab the blanket and throw it over me shielding my body from my parents. Shit this can't be happening. How freaking embarrassing. This is so much worse that his mom seeing us. I guess I should have learned from the first incident...dammit.

"Sir...I...I..." Kodiak begins but my dad throws his clothes at him.

 "Get the hell out of my house, NOW before I beat the shit out of you."

While he is leaving I start to run upstairs but my mom grabs my arm. "Oh...no you don't. We are not done here." She walks me back to the den. "Sit down."

My dad is totally pissed and I mean pissed. I don't know if I have ever seen him this many shades of red. "What the hell Ophelia...seriously we raised you better than this. You said nothing was going on, you swore to me that you would not do this and look dammit how could you let this happen."

I don't say anything.

My mom sits down across from me. "Are you using protection?"

I nod my head.

"Why would you do this? I never thought we would have to deal with this. You of all people can't stand for anyone to touch you. How...how in the hell...you got to explain this to me."

"Mom...it just happened. I don't know how or why...but it just did. I...I'm...sorry."

"How long has this been going on?" My dad glares at me.

I don't say anything which pisses him off even more.

"How long Ophelia? Don't make me ask again," he warns me...but I know my dad would never lay a hand on me. I really do feel bad about all of this.

"For a while...several weeks...I'm sorry. I really am."

"Sorry isn't good enough this time. You promised nothing was going on; we trusted you."

I debate on arguing about it but decide to keep my mouth shut.

"Does his parents know?" my mom asks.

I nod my head.

"Jesus, Ophelia...seriously I have never been so disappointed in you. Go to your room...just go," she says in a harsh tone. I have a feeling that I am going to be grounded for a while over this one.

They talk it over and then come to my room. I thought they would wait until the morning but I was wrong. This can't be good.

"Your father and I have talked and we are really upset about this. You said that you would talk to us; we figured you would have come to us to tell us that you two are more involved with each other. We could ground you and we should ground you but we both have a feeling that it will not change the way you feel about him. If we make you stay away from him it will only make you want o be with him more."

I look at my mom like she is probably right; I would do just about anything to be with him.

"So...Monday I will call to make a doctor's appointment. You will get a full checkup and find the right kind of birth control. This does not give you permission just to be making out with him. I know we can't stop what is going to happen but we can at least make sure that you will not get pregnant."

Did I just hear her correctly...really!!!

"However there will be guidelines. He may come over here only and only if we are home and you cannot be alone in your room with him. I want to meet his parents and get their intake on this after all they already know about this. We will talk about when you can go to his house and then again same rules apply...you will not be in his bedroom alone."

Well that sucks, really...they are basically giving me permission however we are never allowed to be left alone so in other words we will never be able to be together. I think of all the other times that we could be together but she interrupts my thoughts.

"After school you can stay out till eight for now if you have all your homework finished. Weekends no later than nine."

What that really sucks because he works practically everyday and on weekends he is with the band and therefore we will never have time together. This is almost worse than actually being grounded.

"Ophelia, we would like for his family to come over for dinner tomorrow night. We all need to talk this out to see what to do farther about this situation."

"Mom, seriously...do they have to come over here?"

"Yes or we could go over there; I just thought this would be better for his family."

"Mom...this is so humiliating...I don't want to talk about this with his dad. Mom please why do you guys have to make such a big deal about it?"

"Because it is a big deal, Ophelia what if you got pregnant? What if you are and you don't know it. This is serious...it could ruin your life."

"I told you already, we used protection. Mom I am not pregnant and don't plan to be," I argue with her. But then my mind races. Shit what if she is right? What if something broke or went wrong and I got pregnant, that was the last thing on my mind? I just never really gave any thought to it. My heart rate speeds up and I can feel my insides shaking. I feel like I am going to puke just thinking about it. But then even if I was would it really ruin my life...I doubt it.

"Well I hope you are right about that. Either way I will make an appointment on Monday. In the mean time call Kodiak tell him to tell his parents that they are asked to come to dinner tomorrow night." She shakes her head at me in disappointment as she leaves my room.

I call Kodiak and he answers on the first ring.

"Holy shit! I didn't think you would call me so soon. Babe is everything alright. God I am so freaking sorry."

"Don't be...it was bound to happen."

"So are you grounded from seeing me?"'

"Actually no...they want you and your family to come over tomorrow night for dinner."

"Say...what...why?"

"Oh...I'm sure they are going to talk about us and what they should do about this little issue."

"I really have to tell them."

"Yes and my mom is making me a doctor's appointment on Monday."

"Why?"

I roll my eyes not that he can see me but I do it anyway. "I guess to make sure that I'm alright; they are worried."

"Worried about what?"

"My mom is afraid that you impregnated me or give me some kind of disease...I don't know either way she wants me on birth control."

"Pregnant...what the heck...we have been using protection I seriously doubt that you are pregnant."

"That's what I said."

"So that's it...we can still see each other?"

"Well...technically yes...however they want me home by eight during the week...nine on weekends. I am not allowed to be in my room with you and they are going to talk to your parents about what happens at your house that is if I even get to go over there. Kodiak...we will hardly ever see each other with you working all the time and playing in the band. We will never see each other except for at school." Telling him brings tears to my eyes and I can barely get out the last part. He knows that I am crying.

"We will find a way all right...hell I will quit the band if I have to."

"Kodiak...don't say that."

"I will...if it's between the two...I will choose you any day."

"Well hopefully you will not have to choose...alright...let's see what happens tomorrow night alright."

"Alright...I love you Ophelia."

"I love you too, goodnight."

"Goodnight."
