a bet worth waiting on 14

i nearly jumped out of my seat when i felt the vibration in my hip.

"whats wrong?" chris asked as he got into the car.

"nothing, my phone scared the crap out of me" i said pulling the phone out of its clip.

i flipped it open to check the caller I.D. BRIDGETTE

i really didnt wanna deal with her crap at the moment so i hit the ignore button.

if it was important she would just leave a..

voice message.

sometimes this girl gets on my last nerve. i flipped open my phone and dialed my voicemail

number and passcode.

bridgette's hysterical voice boomed over the phone.

not even an hour ago this girl was a complete bitch to me. i should suggest she get evaluated or something.

as much as she pissed me off she's still family and i cant turn my back on her when she's crying.

so i did what any other idiot would do. i hit call back.

"who are you calling?" chris asked

"bri" i said listening to the phone ring waiting for her to anwser

"you just saw her like an hour ago" chris said a little annoyed.

"TAYLOR" bridgettes cracked voice came over the line after the 4th or 5th ring.

"you better make this quick" i said already regreting my descion of calling her back.

"i really need to talk to you" her voice was raspy and hoarse obviously from crying.

"first off you were an utter bitch to me before so your lucky i called you back, and two we are talking so get to it"

i said my aggitation hieghting

"no, alone, taylor this is so important you have no idea, i really need you" her voice rose as if she was going to cry agian and just by the way she said my full name and not tay made me kind of worried.

"ugh, were are you?" i grunted in defeat with my conciouness

"over by JCpennys, a little ways down from i-hop" she stated

"alright i'll be there in a couple seconds" i flipped closed the phone with any further conversation.

"drop me by JCpennys" i said to chris as i stared out the window.

"why?" he asked kind of snoty.

"come on it will only take a few seconds, you can park somewhere and listen to music until im ready" i shrugged.

chris sighed starting up the car.

within seconds we pulled up alongside what i assumed to be bridgette's slumped over figure in front of JCpennys.

chris pulled the car to a stop, looking over to me with a sympethtic look " ill just go inside the mall for a few, call me when your done"

"alright, thank you" i reached over for a hug and planted a kiss on his lips before exiting the car.

as i walked towards the figure it raised it's head revealing bridgette's tear streaked face.

she abrubtly stood up and enveloped me into a hug, i just stiffened and waited for her to get to the point.

she pulled back and look at me through foggy eye's "taylor, oh my god, im so sorry" she began balling.

i walked forward placeing both hands on her shoulders and guided her to sit back down agianst the stone building.

"are you gunna tell me what the hell is going on with you bri?" i sat down beside her wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"taylor please dont hate me" she said through sobs

"obviously i cant ever hate you, im here now" i shook her shoulder and smiled down at her.

she laughed a little " oh you are gunna hate me after this"

i was a little curious " so tell me and well see, there's no turning around now that im already here"

"taylor, im pregnant" she stoped crying and looked me in the face.

it took me a second to realize she was still there staring at me.

"taylor please say something" i can tell if i didnt she would go back into hysterics.

"dont tell gram or she'll fucking kill you" um okay wow now that's some new's, wait a second!

"whos the father?!" i quickly got to my feet "i'll fucking kill alex, i will, he's dead!" i yelled as i paced back and forth.

"taylor"

"no i cant believe this, i mean its one thing to leave me for my cousin but another to get her knocked up!" i turned to the wall and kicked it hard.

"HE'S NOT THE FATHER!" this stopped me dead in my tracks " but he know's thats why he's been so pissy with me"

i stared down at her awaiting her anwser on who the father is.

"bridgette you better tell me before i go ape shit on you!" i said threw gritted teeth.

"chris" she said in a low voice starring at the ground.

now it was my turn to cry.
