“She kicked me out. What more can I do?”
“You fight, you bastard! You fight with everything inside of you! Men, seriously, friggen morons. Fighting their feelings, emotions, not fighting for what they want,” she says, stomping her foot. “This proves it, looks like I’ll need to be the one to fight for her.”
I stare at her, confused.
“Oh, don’t give me that look. I like Kristi, a lot! Okay. This whole thing should have been turned down, but it wasn’t, and you two fell in love. She became my best friend. And I’m not losing her. We’re not losing her.”
Kristi
I quickly packed a few bags and got the hell out of my apartment the minute I kicked Bryce out. Emma, Bryce, and Alana just tore my world apart. How could they do this to me? What were they doing, standing around figuring out how to fuck with my heart next?
Driving over the speed limit to get to my dad’s as fast as I can, I slam on the brakes and come to a screeching halt in front of his house. I look up at the front door and see my dad and Ava both standing on the steps, looking upset.
“What the hell are you doing here, Ava?” I yell as I get out of my car and slam the door. “I’ve tried calling you for weeks, and you are never there for me to talk to!”
“I’m sorry, Kristi, I am. But I couldn’t lie to you if I ended up speaking to you,” she says with tears streaming down her face.
That hits me like a blow. “Oh God. You knew.”
“I found out a little over a month ago. I saw pictures of you and Bryce, and I knew he was with Alana, so I talked to her, and she’s in love with Matt, Seth’s brother. She was more than okay with this. At first she wasn’t, but she loves you, and Matt, and Bryce. But doesn’t love Bryce that way. God, I’m not saying this right.”
I hold up a hand. “Shut up. Just shut the fuck up.” Seething I pick up the other pregnancy test I had in my bag and throw it at her. “If you had fucking warned me when you found out, this wouldn’t have happened. Go the hell home, to your perfect fucking husband, and your perfect fucking life!” If she wasn’t pregnant I would knock her out right now. This is actually the first time I’ve seen her since before she found out, now she’s huge at only halfway through her pregnancy.
I look to my father, whose face is pale, and he also has tears in his eyes. “If you hate me now, I understand. You always sheltered me and Emma too much growing up, and I got it, ‘cause Mom is a cunt. But you should know. Emma and Seth have been dating a year now, and not a few weeks like you thought. And yea, I’m knocked up.”
“Sweetheart, no, I could never hate you. I gave those rules so you two could find yourselves before settling down. I didn’t want you to wake up one day and come to the same decision your mother made.”
He walks me into the house, closing the front door, not letting Ava in, and makes me sit on the couch.
“If you’re mad at them, you may as well be mad at me, too. I knew. Emma admitted to me what she did a few months ago. I didn’t say anything because you were so happy, and when you two visited I saw the love between you two. I even told Bryce he had to tell you. I’m not saying what he did was right, or what your friends did was right, but their hearts were in the right place, not at first, but after. They all love you, I love you. I’m sorry I wasn’t the one to tell you when I found out.”
I stare at him in shock, grinding my teeth. “I’m going to bed, I don’t’ want to see or talk to you right now. I can’t believe every person in my life has betrayed me. Maybe Mom had the right idea to leave you, after all.” I know those words hurt him when I see him flinch. I instantly feel like shit, but right now, I really don’t care.
