Immediately after he walked out of the door and I shut it behind him, I knew I had to tell someone. How can you get hear that caliber of secret and not want to share it. I couldn't handle the information alone. I needed to tell someone to even believe that it was real; To make sure I wasn't just going crazy and hearing things. A father. He was going to be a father. The only other people who knew were the mother and his parents. And he told me of all people. Didn't he know that I can't keep that type of secret. Next time I saw Jerry I told him right away that we needed to talk. This wasn't going to be weighing my mind down any longer.
The moment it left my tongue I knew it was wrong. It wasn't my place. Now he would tell someone else, and they would tell others, and soon the whole school would know. That's exactly what I was supposed to PREVENT from happening. But I guess it's just human nature to cause these types of things. It would have gotten around anyways, right?
