A Fairy Tale Part 1

"Heather." He pouted. "How could you do this to me? To us? Do you love that
guy? How come you didn't tell me?"

"It was kind of...An accident." I shrugged. "I didn't mean to get
pregnant."

"But you cheated on me!" He said.

"Brandon, I've had sex with like six other guys since I met you, okay?" I
frowned. "We're dating, going out sometimes. We're not going steady or
anything, okay? You know that. It's just for fun."

"I haven't been with anyone else, Heather." He was pacing a little. "I
haven't even looked at another girl!"

"Well..." I sighed. "...You should have, Brandon."

"I don't want to!" And he was back on the bed suddenly, or kneeling on the
floor actually, and leaning over it to take my hands in his. "I love you,
Heather. I want to marry you."

"Brandon." I blinked at him. "I'm pregnant with someone else's baby,
doesn't that tell you something?"

"Like what?" He asked and then shrugged. "I don't care. It's still
you. Will you marry me, Heather? Please?"

"You're insane." I giggled and I started moving slowly, trying to get my
hands away from him. "I have to go. I'm gonna go home."

"Don't, Heather. Please? I'm not mad, see? I'm not. Don't be mad, okay?
Just...You're sick, lie back down. We'll talk, alright? Please?"

"Brandon." I shook my head, fighting down the bile that rose with my head
as I sat up. "I like you a lot, you're sweet and so nice, but I don't love
you. I told you that before."

"Do you love him?" Brandon was still holding onto me. "That other guy? Is
that why you let him...Why you're pregnant?"

"I don't know." I said truthfully. "It's...Weird, okay? Let me go. I'm
going to go home."

"But can I see you again?" Brandon asked and I was slipping away. "Are you
breaking up with me?"
