KC & Jenna
Jenna moved on to the next round in “Next Teen Star.” However, she has been feeling sick lately.
Allie has been trying to get Jenna to take a pregnancy test and she finally takes it.
Jenna finds out she’s pregnant and is afraid to tell KC. After all KC lives in a group home because his dad is in jail and his mom has just recently got out of jail and trying to live a drug free lifestyle. KC’s mom is also trying to get him back but KC doesn’t want to go back. KC has a lot on his plate along with school and football. Now Jenna has to tell him the one time they had unprotected sex caused her to get pregnant.
[KC Walks in and sits at the table with Jenna]
KC
Sup superstar. Got your text
[Jenna looks sad]
whats wrong?
Jenna
Uh, KC we need to talk.
KC
Something wrong?
Jenna
Maybe
KC
K, you’re freaking me out.
Jenna
I’m really scared.
KC
Whatever it is, we can get through it. What is it?
Jenna
You’re gonna be a dad.
Silence.
KC
You'repregnant? Are you sure?
Jenna
Pretty sure. I still have to go see a doctor
KC
We used birth control.
Jenna
Not always.
KC
That one time? We got caught up in the moment, this is insane
[Silence]
Babe?
Jenna starts to cry
Don’t cry.
Jenna
I just, I don’t know what to do.
KC
We’ll figure it out.
Jenna
So you'renot mad at me?
KC
Mad at you? Why would I be mad at you Jenna? This mistake is both our fault. We’re in this together.
Jenna
I’m so glad to hear you say that. I can’t go through this alone.
KC
You don’t have to. I’ll be with you every step of the way.
[Jenna sighs with relief]
Once you get the abortion, it will all be over.
[Jenna is shocked by KC’s response and gets up to leave. KC follows her out and catches up with her.
Jenna turns around to KC]
Jenna
I can’t have an abortion KC.
KC
Seriously? What about school and football and cheerleading? Who’s going to take care of it?
Jenna
I can’t believe this is happening.
KC
What about Next Teen Star? We can’t be parents right now.
Jenna
I know!
KC
My dads in jail Jenna. I can’t bea dad.
Jenna
I need to think about it okay? I thought you said we would get through this together.
KC
That’s when I thought that we were getting through the same thing. I, I didn’t think
for one second that you would consider having the baby.
Jenna
An abortion would be risky.
KC
How far along are you?
Jenna
Far. Almost 5 months.
KC
Ok, great. So your stupid denial took away our options.
Jenna
I’m sorry but it’s too late.
KC
So that’s it? I don’t even get a say anymore?
Jenna
Maybe it’s for the best KC. Maybe this is how it’s supposed to be.
[KC gets angry and starts yelling at Jenna]
KC
How is it for the best in any possible way? Do you even hear yourself?
[KC calms down]
If you want to keep it, I can’t stop you
[Jenna has hope]
Jenna
Does that mean…we’re going to be parents?
KC
You do whatever you want. I can’t be involved.
Jenna
WHAT? You’re going to make me go through this alone?
KC
Jenna, my life is being held together by tape right now. I don’t need this. I’m sorry
KC walks away
