Lucky looked out the window of the car as they made their way to the skatepark. She hadn't had much of a chance to explore the city since she moved here.
"What?" David asked Les, rather sharply.
"I wanna go to the skatepark," Les told him quietly, holding up the skateboard their parents had bought him for his birthday a few months prior.
David sighed. He shouldn't be so harsh with Les. It wasn't his fault. "Okay. Grab your helmet and kneepads and hop in," he told his little brother, getting back into the car. Les grinned widely and went to fetch his safety gear.

"Well...here goes..." she said, pausing every few words to kiss him again. "Max...remember...spring break....when we...rented out...the motel room...for the night...?" she asked, still kissing him every few words. "Max....I'm pregnant." She topped kissing him and sat back, still on his lap, searching his eyes for some kind of reaction, or some sign of emotion at least.
The jawbreaker bounced off of Blink's forehead, landing on his chest, but he ignored it, laughing harder than ever.
Reilly pulled into the parking lot of the skatepark, getting out and going over to open Lucky's car door for her, then getting in the back to get out his skateboard.

Max stared,not sure what to say,he tilted his head, "really?" he said,he wasn't sure how to react,he was happy about it but wasn't sure how to react.

Helena bit her lip, nodding. "Yeah." she said. "Four and a half months."
Blink finally got ahold of himself, throwing the jawbreaker back at Race. He stood up, wiping the tears from his eyes from laughing. "Oh wow..."

Lucky got out of the car and looked around at the skate park. "I've never been here before," she said.
Les hurried out of the house and jumped into David's car. David pulled out of the driveway and made his way towards the skate park.

Max thought a moment then said, "Well that's great!" he said,"When do we find out what it is?"

"I'll show you around then." Reilly said, tossing his backpack strap up on his shoulder.
"I was...actually gonna go tomorrow." Helena said. "Do you wanna skip first period and go with me?"

David pulled into the parking lot for the skate park. Killing the engine, he glanced up and saw Lucky and Reilly a few spaces to his left, standing outside of Reilly's car. He just stared, his knuckles turning white with how tightly he was holding the steering wheel.
Lucky looked over at David's car. "Crap," she muttered under her breath. "I was supposed to go to the movies with him tonight..."

"Sure," Max said, "I'll look like hell in da mornin' so I didn' plan on goin' anyway," he always skipped school if him and his old man had gotten into it the night before, that was why he was still in Spot's grade.

Reilly followed her line of sight. 'Hm...if he starts anything, I'll take care of him."
Helena gave Max one more long, intense kiss before climbing out of his lap and sitting on the bed beside him. "I feel better now that I told you." she said, in a thoughtful tone.

David got out of the car, letting Les hop out and hurry over to the half-pipe to skate. "Hi Lucky," he said, nodding at her, not even acknowledging Reilly. He walked over and shoved his hands in his pockets.
Lucky shrank back against Reilly's car when David came up to her. "Hi David," she said quietly. "I'm sorry I didn't - ."
David waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly. "Don't worry about it. It probably wasn't your idea anyway," he said, flickering his eyes over to bore into Reilly's.

Reilly looked over at him. "You got a problem, Jacobs?" he said, glaring and stepping up in front of him, looming over him, his muscled arms crossed.
Helena smirked, leaning against his chest. "I need to get home, do you wanna come with me? I don't want to leave you here alone with your dad."

David narrowed his eyes at Reilly. "Not at all, O'Connor," he snapped back. "Just trying to have a decent conversation with my neighbor, something you wouldn't know about."
Lucky sucked in her breath, flicking terrified eyes from one boy to the other. "Please," she whispered, "don't start anything."

"Listen punk, school might be your strong point, but we're in my territory now, there aren't any teachers to bail you out of trouble." Reilly spat, his tone venomous. "Why don't you just run along home to mommy and daddy and take the munchkin with you before I get mad."
