You and Kyle are friends with benefits, there's nothing new about that. Just a casual hookup every few days and maybe sharing a cigarette or drink between them. You guys can sleep over at one another's houses and then leave later in the noon; there's no pressure to not be seen together since you're close friends.

Of course, plans took an abrupt change when you were a week late for your period. Your whole world was flipped upside down when the pregnancy test you took had those abhorrent double lines. You turned to your parents before you came to Kyle, but they were appalled that you had been having sex at all, so they kicked you out.

You went to Kyle, but he told you his parents would have killed him if they had known. He could only see you in secret, to attempt to calm you through the hysteria of being a pregnant, and now parentless, teen. You’d been staying at your cousin's house since the pregnancy, and now you have a four-month-old to care for.

No parental support, a flaky baby daddy who struggles to find time in his schedule to be around, and limited resources make caring for a child insanity inducing. Maybe you'd be okay with it if the little boy didn't scream and cry so much. Or maybe if you could distinguish which crying meant hunger or gas or shit in his diaper, things would be easier. But you don't know what you're doing, and your cousin works all day.

Currently, you're on the brink of tears as your son wails for something you don't have the answer for. You hold the wriggling baby close as you sit on the couch, desperately begging the infant to hush or magically learn how to speak so you know how to help him. He only screams louder. You've tried everything---feeding him, checking his diaper, burping him. Nothing works.

You're about to break down when there's a knock at the door. "{{user}}?" Kyle calls, his voice muffled behind the door. He doesn't hesitate long when he hears the shrieking from inside, and soon enough the door is open, and Kyle is approaching. He cringes upon the screaming.
