All things have a consequence

Sorry it didn’t work out…

It took forever to explain to his mom and his friends about Jeta, who she was, what she was, and the promise she made with Troy. Of course trying to explain the others that were with Jeta was a little more hard to explain as he didn’t really know any of the others beside Jeta. Troy was glad that he only explain it to his mom and friends for trying to explain it to the police would be impossible but apparently Jeta and them changed that day as if it never happen, Troy wasn’t even asked by any of the Mall securities that had seen the incident, as if they never saw or knew a thing. But that was all behind him now, as today he was getting ready for his next challenge: Being on National TV as a pregnant male.

Today was the day he was going on the Ellen Degeneres Show. Troy sat in the backstage in one of the dressing room with Ryan who asked to stay with Troy until just before the show started. His friends were out front with his mom, setting in their chairs dancing to some music waiting for the show to start.

“Man it’s hard to believe that a month has gone by,” Ryan said looking at Troy who was getting some form of make-up applied. “Your now five month pregnant, felling any kicks or anything like that?”

“Yeah back-flips is what it feels like their doing.” Troy said. “You know I am fine you don’t have to be here you know?”

“Yeah about that I just want to make sure that your okay.” Ryan said and Troy knew Ryan was hiding something. Just as Troy was about to ask him what’s was on Ryan’s mind the door open and a person enter.

“The show is about to start please make your way to your seat Mr. Evans.” the person and Ryan nodded and gave Troy a hug and left.

Ryan made his way down the hall watching the people go on with their duties. Ryan made a turn and he came face to face with a woman. She was taller than Ryan, with a dark skin complex. She was dress in a gold dress that flow freely in all direction. In fact everything she wore was made of gold, even her eye and hair had a gold color to them. Thinking that she was an actress in some kind of a movie Ryan made an apologetic bow and moved around her to continue on.

“You need to tell him Ryan,” the woman said. Ryan stopped in his steps and turn to face her.

“Excuse me?” Ryan asked thinking she was saying a line of some sort.

“You need to tell Troy what you saw Ryan, what you know and what you feel.” She said. “Otherwise Troy heart will be destroyed when he finds the truth the hard way.”

“How would you know how he will react, or how I feel about Troy?” Ryan asked thinking the girl was crazy.

“I would know, I am Liebe the Gold warrior of Love she said vanishing before Ryan’s eyes. Ryan took a few minutes to realize that he just met one of those warriors that Troy spoke of. Knowing she was telling the truth Ryan made is way to the stage and took his seat next to Mrs. Balton.

The show began and Ellen did her opening, followed by a dance sequence. After she sat down she did some more talking which was coupled by the introduction of her guests, including Troy. The show went on and her guest which were Beyonce, some cook whose name Ryan couldn’t pronounce, and a musical performance by Lady GaGa and Beyonce. And everyone of the people that she talk to all said they themselves couldn’t wait to hear Troy’s story. Then the moment came and Troy was to come up next.

“Are next guest is someone you all probably have heard by now on the news, like CNN,” Ellen said. “He is the first 17 year old male that is pregnant. He’s here to tell his story for the first time on National Television. Please give a big round of applause for Troy Balton.” She and everyone in the room stood up and started clapping their hands and giving their shout for support as Troy walked in, slowly since it was now harder to do so with his gut the way it is now. He approach Ellen and gave her a hug then sat down. “Wow you really look pregnant. I’m so glad that you came to the show.”

“Thanks, I’m glad to be on myself,” Troy said “and I can see why you find it hard to believe that I’m pregnant, I mean I don’t exactly let myself get photos taken of myself that much.”

“Yeah I know as far as I was told the chances of you coming onto the show was slim because you didn’t want to make a big deal of this.” Ellen stated.

“And I still don’t but I knew that sooner or later I was going to need to tell my story and so here I am,” Troy said “And I figure this was the show to do it cause it won’t be a serious grilling me with a ton of question type of show.”

“Your right it not something you need at this moment,” Ellen said then she pulled out this large notepad with words on them “I guess I won’t be needing this.” She tossed it to the backstage getting a laugh out of everyone, including Troy. “I’m kidding I had no intention of asking you a thousand questions, just hundred.” Again everyone laughed knowing it was a joke. “But in all seriousness tell us what happen?”

“It all started about five months ago, I was doing my homework when my father, who was drunk as hell, came home,” Troy said being serious “He enter my room after I greeted him at the stairs, and proceeded to rape me for who know how long. When I woke up the next day, he was horrified by what he saw and after I told him what he did, he made I was all right and then begged me to call the cops on him.”

“And did you?”

“No I didn’t,” Troy said, “Now before any one take that the wrong way, the reason why I didn’t was because my father was so drunk, and he hardly drink ever, that he wasn’t sane and aware of his action and I couldn’t do that to my father but I did say that if it happen again, drunk or not I would turn him in.”

“So when did you learn that you were pregnant?”

“I didn’t find out until a month later when I was feeling sick and what not. Turn out I was experiencing morning sickness, which my doctor told me when I went to see her because I would get sick with no warnings then just as fast as it came it disappear which I thought was weird. Anyways my doctor did some test and I found out from her that I was pregnant and told me how it was possible, after I regain consciousness since out when I heard that.”

“So you tell your family right away?”

“No, I wanted to confront my father first and alone.” Troy looked at his friends in the audience “The next day at school I told my dad just before lunch about the pregnancy and that I had to quit the basketball team. This resulted in a chain reaction that my best friend and fellow teammate getting mad after-school and confronting me threatening to reveal a secret that he miss interpreted, the morning after my rape he seen it, but he thought I was having a relationship with my dad. Anyways I almost killed him for thinking that and then I revealed to him what really happen and me being pregnant.”

“And as I understand it your friend then confronted your father, am I right?”

“More like trying to kill him, I was told by two other teammates that he was beating the crap out of my dad. I stop them both and in front of everyone, including out former principal, who hate gays by the way, my friend ask me why I was defending the person who raped me.”

“But it was because of him that you were able to stay in your school and with your mom, cause the police as I heard it was trying to make this a bigger deal than it was and your principal wanted you remove from school unless you get an abortion to prove you weren’t gay.”

“That is correct.”

“So why didn’t you get an abortion?”

“Why to end the life of something that didn’t know that it wasn’t wanted feels wrong to me. Yeah I realize that my sons, which is what I’m carrying by the way, carry half of my dad’s DNA could get sick much easier I’m not going to stop loving them any different.”

“So how is it possible for you to be pregnant? I don’t believe that it can happen to any one can it?”

“No it can’t, my pregnancy is the result of a rare gene that one in a billion may have. So those who were hoping they may bring a child into this world like I am your most likely to have a very sore butt. Also since my two sons are male they will be able to have children like me since the gene is hereditary so it can’t appear in one generation then disappear in the next, every one of my kids and grandkids will have the gene whether they are a boy or a girl.”

“It must be tough being one of the few guys whose child has lasted this long.”

“Yeah it’s tough but I got my friends and my mom who are all supportive of me, so even if I ran into people who are disgusted with me, like some of my neighbors, I’ll be fine.”

“Well your right about there going to be those who will hate you for that, especially if they refuse to listen to the why part. However I know for a fact that there are many people who are in support of you myself included. I mean just before you came on Beyonce wish that you have a healthy child.”

“Wow I am really honor to hear that, well I hope that my sons live a normal healthy life.”

“Well before I forget I understand you’ve been getting all kinds of help and because I believe what your doing is both brave and wonderful I like to give you $5,000 in cash and these shirts for your sons to wear.” Ellen pulled out a ward of cash and two blue shirts that said LAUGH. DANCE. ELLEN. Troy was speechless and started to cry as he silently thanked Ellen for her kindness. “Let’s give another round for Troy Balton when we return Lady GaGa and Beyonce shall perform again!!” Troy once again thanked Ellen and made his way to his friends and mom. As the people got the set/stage for Beyonce and Lady GaGa next performance, Troy gave a hugged to Gabriella and his friends. Then the show began and Ellen introduce Lady GaGa and Beyonce.

“Now Before We get this song started I like to dedicate it to the very brave Troy Balton.” Beyonce said and Lady GaGa nodded in agreement. “Okay now let hit it!!”

During the performance Ryan made his way to Troy, he knew that Troy needed to know the truth, even if he wouldn’t like the truth. He reached Troy and tapped him on the shoulder. Troy turn to face Ryan and looked at him questioningly.

“What’s up Ryan?” Troy asked.

“Troy I got to tell you something and you might not like it.” Ryan said.

“Boy the way you blowing up my phone

As the song ended and Ellen walked up to Beyonce and Lady Gaga to give thanks and say good-bye. The show was over and Troy and Ryan went somewhere private to talk.

“What is it?” Troy asked as soon as they were alone.

“It’s about Gabriella,” Ryan said looking upset. “I didn’t want to tell you especially with you pregnant, but if might even be worse to find out on your own.”

“What?”

“I saw Gabriella cheating on you.” Troy pale then he started to laugh. “I’m not joking Troy I’m serious I caught her in the act!”

“You got to be joking! Gabriella and I love each other.” Troy shouted a little too loud.

“I know but I seen her one day after school heading to the mall, I followed her cause I was going to ask her why she wasn’t going to see you. When I caught up to her I seen her giving a hug to a person, followed by a kiss. I didn’t see the person at the time but I watch them from afar and followed them as they made their way to Gabriella’s house. I didn’t see what they were doing at first. I climb up the nearby tree in hope that the hug and kiss was nothing serious but what I saw blew that thought away.”

“What did you see?”

“I saw your girlfriend and my sister having sex with each other. I thought maybe it was an one time ordeal but they have in the last three month, in almost secret, have went and seen each other ten time, ranging from get together to dates to having sex.”

Troy was silent and quiet, not knowing what to say. He stood there for a second then he walked past Ryan and as quickly as he could made his way to Gabriella and the others. When he got there he waited for Ryan to catch up before he got his so-called girlfriend attention.

“Is it true Gabriella?” Troy asked.

“Is what true?” Gabriella asked looking confused.

“Is what Ryan told me is true? Are you seeing Sharpay behind my back!!!” Troy asked Gabriella paled as Sharpay gasped.

“We-We don’t know what your talking about!” Sharpay said feigning innocence.

“Don’t lie to me, I watch you guys hook up and do stuff that should be done behind closed doors!” Ryan shouted.

“You were spying on us!! You little perv!!” Sharpay said getting ready to beat and chew her twin out.

“So it’s true then.” Troy said.

“Troy, I-” Gabriella started to say but stopped then shook her head. “Yes it’s true, I’ve been seeing Sharpay for a lot longer than what Ryan probably think. I tried fighting it, and I do love you Troy, but I have no sexual interest in guys. I’m sorry I’ve been meaning to tell you but Sharpay thought that telling you while you were pregnant might hurt the babies and we didn’t want that.”

“Yeah we had every intention to tell you Troy,” Sharpay said but we thought it was better to wait until after you gave birth. That was the plan until my brother said something.”

“Make me the bad guy,” Ryan said looking down at the ground “ever consider that Troy might run into you guys in the act and might hurt him even more!”

“And how would you know that?” Sharpay asked.

“I had a ran into one of those Warriors that Troy explain to us.” was all Ryan said and no one question him.

“Look I’m sorry if I hurt you, that was far from what I intended to do.” Gabriella said.

“No I understand you all were worried about me and what the truth would do to me and my developing babies.” Troy said “I’m just sorry that it didn’t work out for the two of us in the end.” With that Troy left to get into the car and head home the others close behind. Ryan was extremely quiet he knew Troy was hurt but would get over it eventually, but Ryan still left something unsaid. ‘No way am I going to tell Troy that I love him, his hurt just can’t handle it right now.’ Was Ryan thought unaware of Liebe watching him in the shadows.
