So I went to a work party last night. One of the girls was leaving, and in typical Heaphy Terrace New World fashion, that entails alcohol consumption above and beyond the call of duty. I was just planning to go home and hang out in an empty house playing more of Final Fantasy VII, but in the end I got roped into coming along. Cole, the 15yr old guy who works in Produce in my store, caught a ride with me to the liquor store (I'm a bad boy, supplying minors with booze) and then onto the flat for some much-needed maxin' and relaxin'. Cole had also invited his ex-girlfriend Janna-Lee to the party, along with her friend.
About an hour later, while sitting down and chatting to my group, I see Jasmine (fellow worker) and Janna-Lee's friend (I never did find out her name...) come bolting up the driveway, saying that she'd run off crying and in hysterics.
I don't even know why I chased after her - I didn't know her at all. I don't even think I was thinking at all when I did, but maybe I just don't like the idea of drunk people out on their own, late at night, and in the middle of Fairfield no less! But I did and when I caught up to her she had literally gone mad, clutching her stomach and bawling her eyes out. And then she told me...
She was pregnant and Cole was the father. And to top it off, before coming out to the party, she drank a litre of Vodka *straight* as well as what she'd drunk while at the party. Then she started going on about how she didn't want to raise the baby alone and how she'd told him that she'd had it terminated and instead gone for a scan to find the baby's sex. For the next hour I sat talking to her in the middle of a park, wet and cold, trying to calm her down. Cops came along, and I had to get rid of them too. Cole was brought to the park after I screamed at Jasmine to drag him there. He asked for time alone to talk to her so I left them and went back to the party. Ended up sleeping on a friends couch because there was no way in Hell I'd be driving home. I should also mention I had work at 8am today, so suffice it to say that I felt iller than Eminem.
And now my weekend has just gone from bad to worse because I have now been accused by Liz of cheating on her while we were together, which I DID NOT DO!!! I feel like a knife has been driven into my heart.

And pity about those kids. They really need to invest more thought into their actions. I was pretty dumb, still am, but I at least have some standards. It's a shame, though. I think abortion wouldn't be the best but it wouldn't be the worst. It would just be a different path to go down.
Silly too that there are more fucked up things happening in this world than what you described above. I don't have a pessimistic view of the world. Nor an optimistic one either.

The truth will out, I hope.
