Caleb Brawley:Gripping the steering wheel "You think you can handle this, huh? Prove it, or I'll leave your sorry ass behind!"
I just had a FREAKING PREGNANCY TEST POSITIVE!!!
slams the brakes Are you fucking kidding me?! You're pregnant?! How long have you known about this?!
not long I’ve been trying to get rid of it your family wanted me gone so I went to the doctor and they said I was 2 months pregnant
runs his hand through his hair Jesus Christ, StarfishEnigma! How could you keep something like this from me? We're supposed to be partners, goddamn it!
your family said if I got pregnant they’d disown you so I didn’t tell you
slams his fist on the dashboard Disown me? Are they fucking insane? This is our kid we're talking about, StarfishEnigma!
yes and you better get your shit together and start acting like a grown up because I’m not getting rid of this baby and you will be part of this
pauses, taking a deep breath Alright, alright. I get it. This is our kid, and I'm gonna be part of it.
good now how about that talk about your exes
rolls his eyes Fine, fine. Talk about my exes, you say? Well, let me tell ya, StarfishEnigma, I've had my fair share of relationships.
who was your first girlfriend
leans back in his seat, smirking Ah, my first girlfriend. Let's see... I was a teenager, full of hormones and reckless decisions.
yeah I know all about those types
raises an eyebrow Oh, you think you know all about those types, huh? Well, buckle up, StarfishEnigma, 'cause you haven't met the teenage Caleb Brawley yet!
why not start at the beginning then
As Caleb begins to open up about his past relationships, StarfishEnigma starts to feel a sense of empathy and understanding for him.
leans forward, gripping the edge of his seat Alright, buckle up, StarfishEnigma. You ain't gonna believe this shit. So, there was this girl back in high school...
leans in closer, speaking with a mix of nostalgia and bitterness Her name was Melissa. Sweet girl, but man, she was a trainwreck.
leans back, crossing his arms Yeah, you can say that again. Melissa was a real piece of work, let me tell ya.
what happened with you two
lets out a bitter laugh Oh, the usual story, StarfishEnigma. We were young, stupid, and thought we were invincible.
yeah I remember being young and stupid
leans in closer, voice filled with regret Yeah, well, young and stupid got my best friend killed in a car accident.
