let's fall in love and never look back.

"A-Alright, I'll make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon," Sabrina stuttered. It would have to be at the free clinic, since that was the only place she could get an appointment on such short notice and besides, she didn't have any insurance so she couldn't afford anything else. "I'll let you know what time the appointment is." She was nervous about showing up to the clinic for a pregnancy test, especially with Zacky in tow.

She was also nervous about telling her parents about all of this. She knew they'd be angry, because they already didn't like the way she lived her life and knowing that she was having a rockstar's baby wasn't going to make things better.

---

"I'm gonna get you back for that," Matt said, pointing a finger at Talia. He hated having other people pay for him; it made him feel like a free-loader. "Alright, we'll go get some drinks," Matt said, letting Talia take his hand and lead him to the concession stand. "But I'm paying." Reaching into her purse with his free hand, he snatched her wallet and stuck it into his back pocket. He grinned at Talia before turning to the teenage girl at the concession stand.

"I want a large Mountain Dew and a large popcorn, extra butter," he told her. "And she'll have a large sweet tea and some candy, probably."

Talia whined a little and picked out the candy she wanted then sighed when she couldn't find her wallet, "Matt, give me my wallet back," she pouted again then sighed as he paid for everything, "You're so stubborn," she said taking the tea and thanking the girl behind the stand then sighed.

"Come on wallet thief lets go get seated," she said to him as she licked her lips ab it, "I hope its good, the commercials looked good," she said thoughtfully.

---

"If there is a doctor you want to see let me know and I'll make it happen," he said to her, "I can pay for the appointment, you don't have to worry, this is what I'm here for," Zack said to her, he didn't want her to stress about money or anything. He knew he was far more privileged than most so he didn't want her to think he was going to flake if he had the chance - he would never.

"I think I'll just go to the county health clinic for now, since I won't be able to get an appointment anywhere else on such short notice," Sabrina explained. That was the main reason, but even if she could get an appointment with an actual obstetrician, she wouldn't. She didn't really know Zacky and had only really met him when they were sleeping together. So Sabrina felt wrong taking his money, if it was to pay for a doctor's appointment to confirm her pregnancy. "Anyway, I should get back to work before my boss gets mad, but I'll let you know what time the appointment is when I make it."

---

Matt only smiled as Talia pouted, asking for her wallet back. She was adorable when she pouted. Shifting his drink and food in his arms, Matt led the way into the theater, choosing a seat about halfway back. Before he sat down he took Talia's wallet out of his back pocket and slid it back into her purse. He didn't think either of them would be making any more purchases, so there was no reason to hold her wallet hostage. Once they were seated, Matt settled his food in his lap and then laid his arm over the back of Talia's seat, his fingertips brushing her shoulder.

She smiled as she was seated in the theater and laid her head back on his arm, "This is nice, we never hang out anymore," she said to him as she sipped her tea then put it in the cup holder, "Since you're not touring I think we should commit to having dinner together more often, it's not healthy being alone so much,"

Talia was journalist - she had no real obligations work wise, she wrote a article then sent it in, that was that. She never had to go to the office which was a plus - she wrote two articles a week and sometimes was features in music magazines whenever she toured with a band.

"I was invited to tour with Bullet and papa roach the other day, I don't know if I'll take it though," she said with a small smile, "I have two weeks to decide, apparently I was first up on the list of people to call,"

---

Zack could understand why she was so adamant about wanting to go to the free clinic so he'd relent this time, "Alright then, just text me the time and I'll meet you at the street cafe on 2nd two or so hours before the appointment," he said to her lightly, "Is that okay? It'll give us time to eat and beat traffic,"

"Yeah, that sounds fine," Spencer said softly. She hung up the phone with Zacky and then immediately rang up the free clinic, making an appointment for one thirty the next afternoon. She sent the information about the appointment to Zacky before tossing her phone onto the counter. She laid her head in her hands. "What did I get myself into?" she grumbled. "I should've just had an abortion and been done with it."

"At least he wants to help," Shalynn said, laying a comforting hand on Sabrina's shoulder.

---

"I think I could be okay with that," Matt said. He smiled when Talia leaned her head back on his arm and curled his arm tighter around her shoulders. They really did look and act like a couple, and all of their mutual friends constantly asked why they didn't just make things official. But Matt knew they were both too scared to, at least he was. Putting a label on it would irrevocably change things and Matt was worried that they would start dating and then things would turn sour and he'd lose his best friend. But that still didn't stop him from thinking about being able to call Talia his girlfriend.

Talia smiled a little as she sighed in contentment, she wanted nothing more than to kiss him right at that moment but she feared the second she did everything would change - their once meek but cute friendship would turn into a lusty mess because lord knew she wanted piece of what Matthew Sanders had to offer. Laying her head on his shoulder as the lights dimmed made her heart start to race, she'd been this close to him before, fuck they'd been skinny dipping together but for some reason this felt a thousand times more intimate. Tucked away in a nearly empty movie theater in the dark with her thoughts wandering to places that they shouldn't.

---

Zack laid back on the couch and looked at the phone seeing her had a whole eighteen hours before he found out if this girl was actually pregnant with his kid, he had been stupid and irresponsible but it had to come to an end now. Regardless of the girl he couldn't keep up with the life style that he was. It would only end badly, him with too many kids to keep up with and stress level that'd put him in an early grave.

Usually, closing the store made Sabrina so exhausted that she was able to fall asleep almost as soon as she crawled into bed. But tonight was different. Her thoughts were all over the place and she just couldn't fall asleep. She was nervous about what was going to happen the next day. She was nervous about seeing Zacky again and nervous about having the doctor tell her she was pregnant, even though she already knew that she was. It was all just too much for her and the worst part of it was that it was all her fault. If she hadn't been a stupid slut who was too star-struck to keep her legs closed, this wouldn't have happened.

---

Matt settled back, becoming totally lost in the movie once it started. Every so often he would feel Talia shift positions and every time he couldn't help but pull her a little closer. He knew they couldn't keep dancing around the way they felt about each other for much longer, not if they kept acting like this. But Matt had no idea how to actually tell Talia that he had feelings for her. And he had no idea where their relationship would go if they did confess their feelings. Would they be a couple? Fuck buddies? There really wasn't a way to tell without actually doing anything and Matt hated that.

The movie made her giggle every so often and she looked at the screen - she knew now that this was a good choice, she'd have to let him pick the movie more often. The only thing that kept her from completely focusing on the movie was Matt - the way he'd hold her or pull her closer as she leaned on him, it made her want things with him she were sure were even possible but she knew what she had to do, the decision was final. She was going to kiss him ,and see how he reacted then go from there. Fool proof, right? When the movie ended she looked up at him, "did you like the move?" she asked as she stretched her arms over her head.

It seemed like Sabrina had just closed her eyes when her alarm went off. It was only ten o'clock, but she might as well have been getting up at six in the morning with how tired she felt. She rubbed at her eyes as she walked into her bathroom. She took a quick shower and then got dressed. She didn't much feel like dressing up, so she just threw on a loose pair of pants and a sweatshirt before tossing her hair into a messy bun. She headed to the cafe where Zacky said he wanted to meet, ordering a coffee to sip on while she waited for him.

---

"Yeah, it was pretty good," Matt answered. He got to his feet and mimicked Talia, stretching his arms high over his head. Collecting his trash, he held his hand out to Talia and helped her to her feet. "I guess I should get you back to my house so you can get your car," he said, smiling at her. He kept ahold of her hand as he walked out of the theater, tossing his trash out on the way. They held hands so much now that it almost felt natural, and Matt didn't think anything about it.

Zacky walked down the street a ball cap and sun glasses covering him for the most part, but he'd do well not to be noticed. The last thing he needed was the news to find out before they did; then his mother would really have his ass. He saw her sitting at a table and walked over sitting in front of her, "Hey," he smiled a little at her, "Are you hungry?"

---

She smiled a little as they walked to his car, she looked at him and stopped him from walking around to his side of the car by holding his hand tighter. "Wait," she said softly and leaned up pressing her lips against his own. To say she'd daydreamed about this moment for a long time would be an understatement - how long would she have waited if she hadn't made the fist move? There was really no telling but all she could think about right now was how soft his lips were - and how she definitely wanted more.

Sabrina opened her mouth to answer his question, but she couldn't speak. She was still a little shocked that Zacky Vengeance was sitting across from her at this cafe. She'd always fantasized about running into him or any of the others out in public, but this isn't how she imagined it. "Uh yeah, I could eat, I guess," Sabrina mumbled. She looked down at the table, shoving her sleeves up to her elbows, revealing the tattoo on her right forearm. She hadn't been able to eat this morning because she'd been feeling nauseated.

---

Matt froze for a split second, at first not believing what was happening. But soon enough he was pulled back to reality and realized he wasn't just imagining things. Talia was kissing him. Matt started kissing her back, moving his hand up to the back of her neck, the other snaking around to her back. He was aware that they were in a parking lot and people were probably watching them make out, but he didn't care. He kissed Talia for a little while longer, until his lungs started to burn, and then he pulled away. He reached up and brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Not gonna lie, I've been wanting to do that for awhile," he said.

He smiled a little and flagged a waitress down so they could get some menus, "Order what you want, Its my treat - I don't want you to be hungry," he said to her with a small smile. "So, you work at the liquor store huh? I think when I was a teen I stole from there once," he admitted to her with a crack of a smile.

---

she giggled a little and laid her head on his chest as she wrapped her arms around him, she never wanted to let go, "Me too," she admitted softly as she sighed then looked back up at him, "I could kiss you longer if you like, but I don't think making out in the parking lot is a good idea," she said to him as she pecked his lips softly then made her way to the car door. Talia knew she was being a tease but he deserved it after making her wait so long to be with him like this.

"Uh yeah, it's pretty chill," Sabrina said. She was grateful when a waitress slid a menu in front of her; any excuse not to have to look at Zacky. She scanned the menu, but nothing really sounded good, especially since her stomach was still rolling just a bit. But she knew she needed to eat, she decided on a turkey sandwich. She couldn't help but laugh when Zacky mentioned stealing from the liquor store. "I've heard that it's pretty easy to steal from there."

---

Matt just shook his head, smiling to himself, as he walked over and got into the car. He started the car and drove back to his house, unlocking the door and ushering Talia inside. "You can stay for dinner if you want, I'll probably order out in a few hours," Matt said. "But uh, right now I'm gonna go grab a quick shower. You can just wait down here if you want, you know where the remote and shit is." He snuck in a quick kiss before heading upstairs, going into the bathroom.

Talia nodded a little, "Sure thing," she said as she looked around and waiting till he was out of sight to start cleaning up the house a little bit - she took the trash out and loaded the dish washer then went to sit on the couch and watch tv while waiting for Matt. She knew he hated it when she cleaned up his messes but she couldn't stand a messy house it drove hr up the wall.

---

He nodded a little, "I think I was like sixteen and me and the guys got wasted on some vodka and rum - nasty shit," he snorted a little, "Definitely prefer beer," he admitted as he sipped his iced tea.

"Are you alright?" he asked her softly.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

Sabrina nodded her head. "I-I'm fine," she stuttered. "I'm just not good and small talk and..." And it's hard to have a normal conversation. "Am I'm not really feeling super great. I didn't really sleep well and I've been really nauseated lately." She reached for her glass of water and took a sip. She wished she could have alcohol, because she could use a little liquid courage right now.

---

Matt showered quickly, deciding to skip shaving since his scruff didn't look that bad. He got dressed and headed downstairs, immediately noticing that Talia had cleaned up. "Did you clean?" Matt asked, already knowing the answer. "You know I don't like it when you clean." He went over and sat down next to Talia on the couch, throwing his arm over her shoulder. "Watcha watching?"

"Someone has to," she said as she leaned on him and sighed a little, "So should we talk about this, I don't like making assumptions about anything - I just want to be sure we're on the same page," she said to him as she chewed on the inside of her cheek.

"I really... I want this," she said motioning between them, "and we've known each other for a long time so it's not really that weird... right? We're best friends - who better.. right?" She was rambling now on and on about anything to prove her case to him, which by now she shouldn't have to.

---

He smiled ,"Well after the appointment we can talk about some stuff, I want to be in the baby's life so maybe.. you could come stay with me? At least till the baby is older and is okay to go back and forth between households? That way I can help out too with the late nights and stuff, and we can decorate a nursery and everything," Zack couldn't believe it but he was ... kind of excited.

Sabrina was quiet. She hadn't really given much thought to anything. When Zacky said he wanted to be in the baby's life, she assumed that he just wanted to see the baby occasionally and be there when it was born. She hadn't anticipated all of this. "Uh, I guess I could do that," she said. She didn't really see the point in fighting him about it, plus the idea made her a little excited. "l'll have to pay a fee for breaking the lease on my apartment, though."

---

Matt moved his arm from around Talia's shoulders, resting it in his lap. He thought they would just assume things. Matt chewed on the inside of his cheek as he thought. "I want this, too," he said finally. "And no it's not really weird it's just...I mean, what's gonna happen to us if things don't work out between us romantically? Not saying that they won't, I just...you're my best friend, Talia. I don't want to lose you." Matt paused. "But, I do really like you. I guess...what do you want us to be?"

Talia knew what she wanted, but he was right; what if it ruined what friendship they had. Losing it all - would it be worth it? Kissing him felt like the world had fallen into her hands - she didn't know if she could ever let that go. "I want us..." she said to him lightly, "Ask me to be your girlfriend," she grinned cheesily as she looked at him in a teasing manner.

Truth be told Talia had only ever been with one man her entire life. Of course she had dated but she had only ever had sex with one guy - who she dated for two years then he dumped her. Since then she'd been holding out for the right guy, and Matt was just hat. The guy she'd been holding out for for two long years.

---

"I can pay the fee no issue," he said to her smiling a little, "I just want to make sure you're close by so you're not alone during the later months," he said shrugging.

"Isn't that what dads do?" he asked her curiously.

"Thanks," she said softly. Sabrina felt bad for taking his money, but having her move out of her apartment was his idea and it was only $250. Besides, she might as well get used to the idea of him wanting to spend money on her; she was having his baby for crying out loud. "Yeah, I guess it is." It made Sabrina happy to know that Zacky didn't want her to be alone, because she didn't want to be, either. She was terrified and would need all of the support she could get.

---

Matt couldn't help but laugh. Talia had always been pretty straight forward about what she wanted and now was definitely no exception. "Alright. Talia, will you be my girlfriend?" Matt asked. He felt incredibly cheesy asking that, but he didn't mind. This definitely wasn't where Matt saw himself when he woke up this morning, but he wasn't complaining. He'd been thinking about this for so long and now it was finally happening.

Talia smiled a little, "Yes I will," she said and leaned in to kiss him softly - this was cheesey but she had been joking when she wanted him to ask, but this would be a great story for when they told everyone one day. Having met Matt when he was a bit older because his mom used to watch her while her mom was at work had been the best thing that ever happened to her.

---

He nodded a little, "Don't worry so much, " he said as he ate his food that he'd ordered, "he was positive she was pregnant at this rate but making sure was a good place to start and to cover his ass he'd want a DNA test so the guys didn't bitch him out for not doing it.
