So this is my first story I hope you could give it a try, I usually don´t write in English but I´m experimenting so please forgive me for any of my grammar mistakes, the first chapter is more like an Introduction to their world before they come into it.

Helen and Cece were different to put it in a simpler way, the reality was that they were for complete different universes.

But at that very moment they had everything in common.

"So this is the building I told you about in the center"

"Oh, I see, it ... it has a potential" She was looking for a word to say that the place was hideous in a less meaner way.

"Well, yeah, it´s not fancy Helen, but I believe that you would feel at home, you see, we have located a lot of young woman in your same situation on this building, because it was given to us as a donation, and until you have found some stability you can stay here without paying any rent"

"Great" she said falsely, in true she was thinking of her mother who was part of uncountable charity projects, and how all she give in those were just "contributions" to look good, something to brag about, the people receiving it couldn´t care her less and now she was one of those people.

"Ok, Helen so please come with me"

The woman that was with her guide her trough the messy stairs, Helen was trying to smile but her face reveled her dissatisfaction with the place, it looked old and it really needed some repairs, it had an elevator but it was clearly broken for God knows how long, the wood in the stairs were cracking with every step, she was about to run away, go to her house beg for forgiveness anything, but she came out of her thoughts when they finally arrived to the door that was in her way to find her new home.

"Nora I have to talk with you about this month pay, you know my baby is almost here and I need to buy some things so if you could just let me give you just half of the rent I would really appreciate it"

Helen look at the blonde woman that just come between her and Nora, she was around her age, but look nothing like her, her hair was blonde, straight and really long, but it looked messy, she was wearing a franela shirt open so her very pregnant tummy was showing covered with a withe tank top, and jeans that looked really big for her, and just let show the end of her shoes that looked like military boots, she was finishing her examination of the young woman when she spoke again.

"Oh, sorry, bad time, I sorry I was so desperate to say that, that I sort of didn´t noticed you"

She was now talking to Helen, but she simple give her a weak smile and choked her head in sing that it was fine.

"So Cece, take a breath darling, I´ll talk to some people and we´ll see what can we do about the rent, fine" Nora told her in a clam tone "And now that you´re here I can introduce you to your new neighbor, Cece this is Helen, Helen this crazy young lady is Cece, she´s sixteen as yourself and I think both of you could make a great friendship"

Both girls smiled awkwardly at each other and tried to star a small talk

Three months passed and Helen was finally accepting her new reality, and it wasn´t that bad actually, she find a part time job, well more like Nora found it for her, and she was taking some classes at the Help Center, Cece and her become close really fast, it was weird because in any other circumstance neither of them would be even saying hello, but this was different, in some level they only have each other to count on.

"Wow, you´re about to exploit"

"Thank you very much my bratty friend, but you´re not so thin yourself right now"

They laughed and soon they were at Cece living room, that was more like a couch and a tiny table.

"So, I´ve a really personal question, that really had bug me for some time now"

"Go ahead"

"Ok, but don´t feel offended or anything, I´m just curios" Helen nodded giving her the permission to ask "How did a girl like you ended up pregnant at 16"

"A girl like me"

"Yeah, you know Helen, I mean, look at you, you look like a girl that came out of those sixties TV shows" Helen laughed at her friend comparison

"Well, you ended up pregnant earlier so tell me your story and I´ll tell you mine"

"Fair enough" Cece stated " I meet this boy in a concert, he told me about his band and a week later I was on tour with him, the most amazing summer of my life by the way, when the summer was over everything was, I come back home, and obviously I didn´t find a welcome party...it got worst when two weeks later I found out that I was very much pregnant, mom told me to get, you know, an abortion" her voice cracked a bit, but she smiled as Helen held her hand in sing of support "I was so mad that she even think about it so I took off, and I´m happy, Nora and the Help Center were like send for heaven... and now your turn, rich girl"

"Not so rich anymore"

"So you are rich, I know it"

"Yeah, but well know I got like 100 dollars in my account so is past tense"

"Whatever, I was right"

"Yeah, yeah... so he was my boyfriend"

"For how long"

"All my life I think ... I don´t even remember when we become a couple, I only know that our families were more that excited about it, he´s 2 years older than me, about five moths ago" She said as she point out her bump "He enrolled in a boarding school in England"

"Fancy"

"Very, and he had a goodbye party as fancy as his trip, that night he told me that he wanted to be with me before going away, I was scared, but the moment took my sense and I give in, a month later he was on the phone telling me that he couldn´t be the father"

"Bastard"

"I know, the worst part was his parents calling mine telling them about how destroyed his boy was because I was pregnant with God know who child"

"And what did your parents do, did they stand by your side" Helen face answered the question, and soon she was on Cece arms crying like she had been doing for the past four moths

"They said that they didn´t want to hear anything about me, You´re not the child that I rise I don´t know who you are anymore, that was what my mom told me the last time I saw her"

"But why, I mean, you´re her child"

"And they´re their social partners, so do the math"

"Oh God, I´m so sorry Helen, I didn´t know, I shouldn´t have asked you"

"No is all right Cece, I needed to tell someone"

After their talk they decided to watch a movie, to light the mood, they found the Breakfast Club on TV and started their eating massacre as always that they were together

"So why you didn´t look for the boy after you found out you were pregnant" Helen soundly asked

"I guess, I don´t want to let go of the memory of that summer"

"What do you mean" she asked as she was eating some popcorn

"That summer was so magical that I would be proud to tell my kid that he was made out of love, and how amazing his father was, but if I search him and he ended being a jackass every time I reply that summer the only thing that would come out on my mind it´s how big of son of a bitch he is"

"Make sense"

"And you"

"I would tell her or him the true"

"Sure?"

"Yeah, look, if she´s a girl she can know that she can´t trust in any man, and if he is a boy it would teach him how not to be"

"You have a point...Oh my God, here he comes" Cece said with a louder voice

"Who, the teacher, no, is in the next scene isn´t it" She said still watching at the TV

"No that Helen, Elijah, Elijah is coming"

"Fuck" She got up as she could and started to walk erratically around the apartment with her soon to give birth friend, they went downstairs as they could and before the knew they were already on a cab on it way to the local hospital.

Elijah Goldsworthy Cece son was on his way to this world.
