Messed Up Youthful Innocence

The Art Of Growing Up

{Drew's point of view }

I wasn't exactly planning to have sex with Kayla anytime soon, especially after I had to watch her dad unsuccessfully put a condom on a banana. He broke two, before my dad had to help him… after breaking one himself. However that does explain a lot. I sorta can feel for my dad when he had to face my grandpa. Although I also didn’t plan on getting Kayla pregnant then going to ask Pete’s permission to marry her. That I knew I wouldn’t survive. In fact, I don’t even think Pete would have a chance because dad might have already killed me. Hypocrite. I know for a fact mom was twenty three and he was twenty four when she got pregnant.

I don’t even know why they decided we suddenly needed to know all of this information, I mean really why now?

And Kayla has her hand on my thigh.

I looked up and Kayla and smiled, she returned it but motioned to the other side of the table and I noticed the waitress looking at me.

“what would you like for dessert?”

“uh,” I looked down at the dessert menu in front of me. “Chocolate chip cookie Sundae…
thing”

“and you?” she asked looking at Katie.

“I would love a banana split”

I glanced at Katie.

“you’re a bitch” I mumbled.

I then slipped back into my post sextalk mindset.

The girls were obviously spying on us, so they must of gotten a really simple talk. Lucky
them.

“Drew you okay?” Kayla whispered.

“I’m… processing” I whispered back.

“Right” she said suppressing a giggle.

Kayla was sitting close enough to me that I felt her phone vibrate. She slipped it out of her pocket and checked it. She then put it back in her pocket and reached for her purse. I head someone else’s phone vibrate and I watched Katie do the same exact thing.
Utterly confused, I looked back at Kayla who had something in her hands. She was being very careful and kept it under the table. It was circular and white and had a bunch of multicolored… holy shit my girlfriend is on birth control. I looked back over at Katie. Katie popped the tiny pill out of the package and was waiting for something. Fuck, my younger sister is on birth control. I sat back and Katie and Kayla looked at each other smirking. Just then our waitress came with everyone’s desserts and both of them popped the pill into their mouths and sipped at their pop. I glanced back and forth between them, stunned and to a lesser extent horrified.

“Drew you okay?” dad asked from across the table.

“yeah, I’m fine.”

The waitress put our desserts down and Katie spared no time in making Petey and I feel
uncomfortable around bananas.

“you know she’s doing it on purpose” Kayla whispered.

“I know, that’s not what’s up”

“what’s wrong then?”

Hmm.. Nope, not spilling.

“nothing, I’ll be fine.”

Kayla narrowed her eyes concerned, then pursed her lips.

“whatever”

She glanced at me worried one last time before she went to eat her dessert.

I guess Kayla on birth control wasn’t a bad thing. Eventually that could work in my favor.
Though, Pete so can’t know about it, there’s no way in hell, after the way she purposefully
waited until everyone was distracted. Katie, my sister, my younger sister. That’s just .. No. she.. No.

I whipped out my phone

’ you better fucking explain that right now‘

Katie read the text and gave me a strange look

‘I like banana splits asshole‘

‘I was talking about the birth control‘

I looked over at Katie and saw her eyes widen and she drew a shuddering breath.

’ there isn’t anything to tell‘

’ liar‘

‘I don’t see what this has to do with you‘

’ everything

’ lies- it’s my reproductive system‘

‘you better not be reproducing‘

‘fuck- it’s not like we’re having hot crazy sex, I’m a virgin- and it was Kayla’s idea‘

I glared at Kayla and she looked at me like I was crazy

’ right, my girlfriend is putting you on birth control‘

’ for the record, I’m on it for different reasons than controlling births‘

‘yeah okay I knew you and Jake were a bad idea‘

’ I’m still innocent‘

’ right‘

’ just cause I’m a girl doesn’t mean I’m a whore‘

’ you’re still a girl‘

‘tell you what, if we ever do have sex, we’ll use double protection‘

I looked over at her and she was smirking. She pressed a button on her phone and mine
vibrated again.

‘wouldn’t you rather have me safe than sorry?

I glared at Katie, but felt my phone vibrate, yet again, this time it was a message from Kayla.

Drew, stop harassing Katie via text messaging. I will make your life hell

I reluctantly put down my phone and Kayla smiled at me.

Fuck being better safe than sorry
She should do anything that she has to be safe over.
