Chapter 25

Taylor sighed softly.

"Wendy and I went to a party, with some of her friends. I think Zac would have come except he'd just broken up with his girlfriend, so, y'know."

Isaac and Zac caught this of course, being able to hear everything that Taylor said and nothing that Moira did. The two looked at each other. Isaac put his finger to his lips and Zac nodded.

"I see." Moira answered.

"I must have gotten a little drunk... and I know Wendy must have... not that I would have denied her had we not been drunk..."

"Let me guess, you found a little hidey-hole somewhere and horizontal mmmbopped the night away."

Taylor laughed.

"Something like that. We never really talked about it afterwards, but Wendy must have been thinking about it. She started acting really distant."

Taylor breathed out sharply.

"Then one day I went over to her house to pick her up for a lunch date. I opened the door and saw her crying on her bed."

"Wendy? Wendy sweetie, what's wrong?" Taylor asked rushing to her side.

Wendy looked up into his eyes.

"Tay, I... I... I'm pregnant."

Taylor stared.

"What?"

"I'm pregnant."

"Don't worry my beautiful, dear, sweet angel." He said, wrapping her up in his arms. "I'm always going to be here for you."

She choked out a sob and then pushed Taylor away.

"Don't call me that." She said. "Just, just go away ok?"

"I understand. You want some time alone. That's ok. Just give me a call when -"

"No, Taylor, just go away! Just leave and... and... and don't ever come back. I never want to see you again."

Taylor stared, crestfallen.

"N-never?" He whispered. "Oh, oh, please Wendy, please say you don't mean that."

"Go away Taylor."

"I love you."

Wendy burst into another round of sobs.

"Go away Taylor! I... I never want to see you again. I hate you!"
