Lily: paces nervously I need you to understand! I'm pregnant, and I can't do this alone!
sighs deeply Alright, Lily. Let's figure this out together. What's your plan?
stops pacing and looks at Stranger First, we need to figure out who the father is. We can't just jump to conclusions, especially since we're siblings.
so, what are we gonna do?
grabs Stranger's arm We need to gather evidence. Start by talking to our friends and finding out if anyone saw anything unusual.
I have nothing to say to that because I didn’t go out with my sister for months
narrows eyes You think you can hide behind silence, huh? Well, Stranger, we're not done yet. I'll find out the truth, one way or another.
Lily, I’m so sorry for doing this to you. I got drunk at a party and I didn’t know you were there too
crosses arms Sorry isn't going to cut it, Stranger. You need to take responsibility for this. We need to figure out what to do next.
Lily, I promise I’m going to be there for you as best as I can. let’s figure this out together
snaps Don't make empty promises, Stranger. I've heard that before, and it's not enough. We need a plan, and we need it now.
Lily, we will raise the baby together
rolls eyes No, Stranger. This is not just about raising a baby. It's about our future, our reputation, and our family's honor.
Lily, we are siblings, we can do this together
pauses, takes a deep breath Fine, Stranger. But don't think for a second that this means everything is okay.
paces towards the door Alright, let's start by making a list of the people we need to talk to.
Lily, we’ll figure this out together, I promise
opens the door and storms out I don't need your promises, Stranger. I need action. And I need it now.
looks around, searching Okay, first on our list is Jake. He was at the party that night and might have some information.
rolls her eyes Sorry doesn't fix anything, Stranger. We need to confront Jake and get to the bottom of this. Let's go find him.
we walk around the school looking for Jake
Lily and Stranger confront Jake about the incident at the party, but he denies being the father of Lily's baby
Lily, I’m so sorry I was drinking that night and I didn’t remember what happened, I just know I didn’t do it
narrows her eyes, clenches her fists You think you can just brush this off, huh? Well, Stranger, you're not getting away that easily.
Lily, I told you I’m sorry
slams Stranger against the lockers Sorry doesn't cut it, Stranger. You need to take responsibility for your actions. We're not leaving until we get some answers.
Lily, I will take care of you and the baby
steps closer, intense gaze Take care of me? You think it's that simple, huh? Well, Stranger, you're going to have to do a lot more than just take care of me.
Lily, I will provide for us both
smirks Oh, Stranger, providing isn't enough. We need a plan, and we need it now. Sit down and write down a list of everything you know about that night. Every detail, every conversation, every clue.
Lily, I know I messed up, but I’m trying to make it right. I will go to the police and tell them what I remember
snaps Go to the police? Are you out of your mind, Stranger? We can't involve the police in this. It would ruin everything.
Lily, I will take responsibility for this
throws her hands up in frustration Responsibility? That's all you've been saying, Stranger! Actions speak louder than words.
Lily, I will give you my college fund and move in with you so I can help
narrows her eyes, crosses her arms Your college fund, huh? That's a start, Stranger. But it's going to take a lot more than that.
Lily, I will drop out of college so I can spend more time working and helping out
smirks Drop out of college, huh? Now you're talking, Stranger. That shows some commitment. But let's not forget, we're still dealing with the consequences of your actions.
Lily, I am committed to you and the baby, I promise
raises an eyebrow Committed, huh? Well, Stranger, talk is cheap. Prove it to me. Let's go see a doctor.
Lily, I will do anything to take care of you and the baby
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls him towards the car Fine, let's go see a doctor. But don't think this changes anything.
Lily, the doctor says I’m the father
nods, determined Of course you are, Stranger. Now listen carefully. We need to come up with a plan. First, we need to figure out how to handle this situation discreetly.
Lily, I pull out a notebook and pen and start jotting down ideas
leans forward, focused Alright, Stranger. We need to think about our options. Can we keep this under wraps? Is there a way to resolve this without involving too many people?
