Jessica chuckled to herself as she stepped into the shower, thinking that it would be silly for that to happen now-a-days. She couldn't think of being engaged to Nate, of all people! Sure, he was her best friend but he was also almost her opposite.
Jessica rinsed out her hair then washed off her body with the girlie soap Nate always said was dorkie, but it never stopped him from sniffing her and completing the scent when she was fresh out of the shower.
Jessica threw her towel on her purple and gold canopy bed that was silk dangling all over it. She loved her bed and her purple room. It was funny, all the main rooms in her parents’ house had a color everyone referred them to, almost like the white house. Her younger sister's room was the pink room, her room was the purple room, her parents' was the tan room, the dining room was red and the living room was white. Her parents were eccentric, but with each of their jobs, they were bringing in more money than anyone ever thought. Something was working for them.
"What to wear, what to wear...." she thought as she looked at her closet.
She finally settled on jeans that had sparkly flower down the side of the right leg and a purple, sparkly, white sash around the waist. She picked a low cut, purple, V-neck shirt that matched the pants. It was quite obvious her love for purple. All shades of purple!
Jessica gathered her books and her large tote bag made from all organic material. She turned to leave her room and bumped into her mom wearing that horrible pink nightgown with the see through rope that had a feather boa for the neck piece. Uck, it was horrible.
"Baby, we need to talk. Your father and I have something we've been keeping from you for a while now and..."
Jessica cut her mother off. "Mother, I'm sure whatever it is, mother, it can wait until after I get home from my classes." Even though she had no voice, her facials and hands always said enough for her. Jessica's mother was always dramatic, it was probably some small thing like the coffee pot broke or she had to fire one of the maids, besides, she was late for meeting Nate. But when she went to leave, her mother grabbed her arm and Jessica could see a look of worry, seriousness, and wonder in her mother's eyes.
"No, Jessica Marie, this has to be now!"
Jessica was taken aback by her mother sternness. She dropped her books and collapsed on her bed, giving her mother her full attention.
"While I was only 6 months pregnant your father was in Asia with some case and he learned most of the business lords there betrothed their kids to keep money and good blood in the family. You know your father and his stupid ideas, they are always so hair brained and he always has to be other people involved..."
"Mom..." Jessica stopped her mother from babbling on and making her even more late for class, "Just tell me."
"Very well. You are betrothed to Nate, yes... Nate Locke. And your father couldn't stop there, he convinced the parents of all your friends to do the same. It was only luck that all of your guys grew up so close. I guess that encouraged the rest of us that this would work. I'm sorry, Jessica."
It took a good moment for it all it all to sink in, but when it did she felt nothing but rage and betrayal. "Sorry?! You're sorry?! I'm going to be f***ing marrying someone that will probably not go far with his family business. He'll make my life nothing but drama and miserable! And you know what else, we're f***ing catholic so I can't get a divorce! My life is over! I wanted to travel the world and learn things, I wanted to make a difference in the world...But no, I'm going to be married by the time I'm f***ing twenty. You and my so called father can go to hell!" She was so angry that words did try to come from her quiet lips only producing a small squeak as she spoke.
Jessica picked up her books and bag and stormed out, her mother tried to grab her only to be pushed back by Jessica. She walked to the big oak tree that her and Nate always met under since they were 6 years old. But she was so filled of rage she just jabbed her pen into the trunk of the tree and walked off, not wanting to see his face. All the while, she wonder how could they do this to her? She would never forgive them for this, never. Not while her and Nate lived together as a married couple.
As the hours passed, it was soon closing in on noon and she knew if she wasn't at O'malleys her friends would be suspicious and track her down. The weather surprising was warm for being the middle of December. Taking her phone out of her pocket, she saw she had no messages which was odd. Deciding to confirm the noon meeting, she sent a quick message to all her friends. "Still set for noon?" She pressed send and walked to O'malleys, a fifteen minute walk from her house. Walking in, she smiled at Stan, the most recent owner and took her booth, rather her friends booth.
"They coming in today?" Stan asked as he brought over her usual iced tea and looked at her.
Nodding her head, she smiled up at Stan. A fake smile, but a smile nonetheless. Inside she was still mad at her parents, bewildered her dad would do this to her, and confused about her future now. She didn't want to see Nate but knew she would have to eventually. She wondered if the rest had been told of the arrangements or if it was just her. She started to stare out the window, unaware of anything going on around her. Her mind running around thoughts, trying to gather her ideas into one area, trying to understand everything and what it meant for her future.
The setting changes from O'Malleys Family restaurant and pub to Taos, New Mexico

I was up early, pumping up for practice today. My brother Peter was spotting me. “You know little bro, you don’t have to keep up this damn football thing.”
“It’s better then staying here, working in dad’s shop” I muttered
“True at that…” Peter said when my parents came in and told him to leave. “We need to talk to Nate alone.” The look on Peter’s face was almost as if her knew what they were about to say. It was kind of scary. I dropped the weight on the safety bar and looked at my parents as they explained.
“What the hell are you, Insane?” I said in recollection to my parents’ news, about the damn engagement. “When the hell were you going to tell me? When Myrissa is breast feeding my kid!” ((No offence Idk if he would know but I’m guessing since she’s 4 months along and showing he would kind of guess…)) “I mean really!” As my parents started saying how, “that was an unfortunate turn of events,” and how he just couldn’t keep his dirty little hands off of her. I crushed up my face, in a sour look and said in a rebelling tone. “Thank you for FUCKING up my life!” and I ran out of my room, grabbing my stuff for football practice.
As I drove away from my house, I kept thinking about it. Damn this sucks! I got a girl pregnant and I can’t even do the responsible thing… cause I got to marry Jessica! I drove for properly for about an hour, just thinking about everything. That’s when I got Jess’s message, and intently thought Speak of the devil. I really didn’t want to see her right now, but I thought Myrissa would be there, so texted back, “can’t stay long, practice…” and made a turn heading to O’Malley’s.
When I got there I pulled up in one of the farthest spaces from the door. Thinking it could buy me some time, but I ended up sitting in the car for a good twenty minutes thinking about wither I really should go in or not. Finely I got out of the car, and walked into O’Malley’s. When I sow Jessica sitting by the window, I just thought Well better get this over with now, I mean I can’t just avoid her like the plague.
I walked up to the table and said, “Hey…” in a melodramatic voice. Taking a seat, for myself. I didn’t know if I really should be here, but she should know I’m not going to be long.

There was a knock at his door. "Come in!" Harry called out. The door opened, letting in his mother, who was dressed in her usual slim blue work outfit, and his father, who had on his business suit. As usual.
"Harry, there someting we need talk to you." The mother said in a heavy chinese accent. Both parents were immigrants, so chinese was their first language.
Sitting up on his bed and setting aside his computer Harry gave his full attention. "What is it?" He asked.
"This may come as shock to you." The mother began. "Before you were born, your father and I met with the other parents of your friends. We all agree, and say that you all marry with each other."
Harry sat there, shocked. "Wh-what?!"
"But that good, right?" His father interrupted. "You all close friends, no problem for you right?"
"That's...that's not the point dad!" Harry protested. "Why didn't you tell us this earlier!? Do the others know?!"
"Well, we all talk, and decided now is good time. About now your friends should find out." The mother explained. "It seem, you need time to think about..."
"Wait! Who is it? Who did you marry me with?" Harry asked.
The father thought about it. "Ahh, who was it...was it Jessica?"
"No, no! Annabeth you!" The mother snapped. "Will this be problem?"
"Well...I mean, this...why?!"
"Why? Why because we want good blood in family only." She replied simply. "This good for you, you friends with Anna for long time, so I see no problem." She went on, walking around the room. "Plus, we give you good things, you live in good house because of us. Why this one thing you won't do?"
There it was. The guilt trip. Harry's mother was infamous for that. "I-I didn't say..." The mother, saying she had an appointment, simply told him to think about it and left the room with her husband. Think about it...? What bothered Harry the most, wasn't the secrets the parents kept. It wasn't the complete disregard of his feelings or his say in the situation. It wasn't even the fact that it was most likely his mother that pushed this arrangement, since she was a very strong traditionalist. No, what bothered him was that he was going to marry, without telling anyone the one thing he couldn't tell even his closest friends, not knowing what anyone else would think. Harry was homosexual.

Her mother looked her in the eyes and said, "You're finally eighteen, and we have decided it was time to tell you."
"We? As in what, you and Dad?" She said, confused.
"No, well yes, kind of. But not just us."
"What?" Annabeth dropped her necklace.
"You're engaged." Her dad said finally, "To Harry." Annabeth's eyes widened,
"W-What are you talking about?!" Annabeth panicked, her voice rising. Her dad shook her head,
"It's something we decided when you guys were born." He said, "Not just you and Harry, but Jessica and Nate- everyone."
Annabeth snapped, "I can't be engaged to Harry! We're are like best friends!" She argued, "And you have no right to decided who i'll marry, that's my decision, and mine only! She was on her feet and practically screaming.
"Annabeth Kate Richardson." Her mother said sternly, her expression serious. "You will not talk to your parents this way. I understand you're in shook, but calm down!"
Calm down?! How can calm down when you decided my fiance even before I learned how to talk! She didn't say it out loud, but it was obvious she was still fuming. "I have nothing against Harry,you know that, I love him. But only as a friend. NOT as a husband." She struggled to lower her tone. Her dad simply shook her head, and looked away. He took a sip of coffee and said,
" You and Harry, will get married. Weather you like it or not." His tone marked the end of the conversation, and he got up to his feet to leave. Annabeth looked at her mother,
"Are you serious?" She whispered to her. Her mother nodded,
"It's not so bad, you know Harry is a wonderful guy."
"B-But does he know?" Annabeth was referring to their engagment.
"His parent's probably told him by now." Her mom glanced at the clock. She got up to her feet and left as well.
Annabeth stared on the glossy wooden floor, she couldn't believe this. She wasn't in love with Harry, she wasn't in love with Harry, she loved [insert Guy A's name here...] She got up,when both her parents headed back to their rooms, and decided to take a walk outside. Maybe to Harry's house. She wanted to see Harry and how he was taking the news. She closed the door behind her and headed down the stairs.

It was around that time that Annabeth was walking down the street of their cookie-cutter neighborhood, meeting up with Harry. Harry remembered his mother, saying that everyone should have found out by now. Harry couldn't really look her in the eyes at this point, and so simply stared at her feet, asking "So. Uh, what's new...?" What's new? He asked himself. Gee, I dunno, how about a dumb marriage arrangement... "Did your...uh...did your parents talk to you?"

Relief flooded her when Harry asked if her parents talked to herr. She looked awkwardly at Harry, and nodded. He seemed to feel awkward about it too, since all he did was stare at her feet. "Yeah, they did. It's f'd up, they can't decide on who we should marry, it's not their f**king choice. "
Was was she going to do? She didn't love Harry, she was going out with Nate. Her phone vibrated, and Jess had texted her to meet her at O'Malley's about an hour ago. Jen bit her lip hoping Jess wouldn't kill her, "You going to O'Malley's? Jess texted me about it." She let out a breath, she would save it for later, knowing Jessica she was probably more pissed off than she was.
"on my way , see u in 10." She texted Jessica back.
"You coming?" She asked Harry.

Harry nodded to Annabeth as they both walked down towards the restaurant. It was oddly quiet the whole way there, Harry almost felt like he was suffocating. The voice of his mother, telling him he was engaged, that same scene played in his mind over and over again. He sighed to himself. Should I dare tell them...? What about my parents... He quickly shook his head, not even wanting to consider it, and simply continued to walk.
They soon reached O'Malleys as Harry opened the door for Annabeth and they both entered, looking around for their usual table. "Looks like Nate and Jess are already here." He said.

Hearing his voice, she just nodded her head and signed, her hands mimicking that of a whisper, "I am sorry. I don't understand why any of it has to be done." She shook her head and looked at him. He was like her brother. Marrying her brother was sick to her. It was bordering incest.
She felt her phone vibrate, not once but twice. REading both messages, she said, "Harry and Annabeth are almost here." She went back to looking out the window, her mood growing cold and uncaring. As the two walked in, she looked up at them and frowned. This wasn't suppose to be happening to them. No, they each had their own lives they wanted to live, had their own dreams, and now those dreams were shattered. She couldn't see any way out of the situation and was desperately looking for one.
She waved at them and gave a weak smile as she said, "So how are you two taking it?" She looked between the three before finding a spot on the table to stare at.

She walked downstairs fingering her hello kitty necklace. She had one ear bud in her ear and her pink iPod in her backpocket. She had her phone in hand and slipped on her hoodie whom she stole from nate. She smelled it with a large smile. It still smelled like him. Plus none of her hoodies fit. She grabbed her purse and her straightner was still in her purse.
"Myrissa."Her mother said from the kitchen. "yes mom?"She asked. She walked over and got half a bagel and put it in the toaster. "your father and i need to talk to you."She said gently sipping her coffee. "mom i gotta get going. I have a docters appointment."She said eating the bagel. "yeah honey i know."her mother sighed. Her father walked in ready to get going to the candy shop her family owns. He sat by her. She put cream cheese on the bagel and sat down. "So whats this about?"She asked.
Her mother bit her lip. "your engaged honey."She siad. She looked at her confused. "mom just cause i' pregnant by nate dosen't mean i have to marry him. If he wants to marry me he can ask."She said. Her mom sighed. "no honey thats not what i ment."She said. She looked at her. Her mother told her the whole story and how she was engaged to nathen west.
Tears rolled down Myrissa's cheeks and she fingered her belly. "but this is nate's baby."She cried. Her parents looked at her. "well maybe you should had kept your pants on and you wouldn't be in this situation."Her mother snapped. "i have to go."Myrissa glared at her mother and grabbed her car keyes and walked outside.
She got in her red convertable that had the hood up and drove off crying. She touched her belly. What was she supposed to tell the baby? daddy wanted to be there and was going to but both of our parents and all basically your aunt and uncles parents too made us be with the wrong person. I mean Anna and Nathen are together. THats the bitchiest thing to ever do. Steal your best friends boyfriend, who was also your best friend. And how could you rip apart two people who were having a baby together? god this was sick
She walked into her docters office and sat in the waiting room whipering how Nate was his or her father no matter if she married Nathen or not. But she probably was. She sighed and got called in and got more prenatial vitamins and pictures of the baby. "wanna know the sex?"The docter asked. She bit her lip and wished Nate was with her. "ummm write it on a piece of paper so me and Nate can find out together." SHe took the paper and put it in her pocket and then walked out.
She texted Nate and said she was on her way. She got in her car smileing at the pictures on the baby. God she couldn't wait to give birth. She got in her car and drove over to the usual hang out place. She parked by Nate and put the pictures in her purse and walked inside smileing at the usual guy there and sat by nate. She didn't know if anyone else knew so she was gonna act how she usually acted. She snuggled her head onto Nate's shoulder and smiled up at him. "hey honey."She said gently. She took his hand smiling and said hey to Harry,Anna,Jessica. She was kinda happy Nathen wasn't there.
She pulled out the pictures of the baby and smiled at Nate. "wanna see him or her?"

The marriage, Harry concluded, had sealed his fate. Since his mother demanded it, he had no choice but to go through with it. That's how it always went. No matter how hard he objected, this time would be no different. So at the very least, he wanted to make sure everyone else around him felt better, so he would have to do something, anything...but... Harry got up, "I-I'll go get our shakes...the uh...the usual, right guys?" Idiot, He scolded himself. That was all you could think of??

Myrissa smiled and gently waddled to the bleachers. She sat down smileing happily. "see daddy loves us."She whispered gently. She watched him practice then got a craving for food. She got up grabbing her purse and went to the mcdonalds by the school. She got some food and went back smileing at him. She had got him some food too, knowing he may be hungry afted practice.
