Take me Home Country Roads (Formally Unbreak My Heart)

Chapter Six: Two Weeks Later

My head spins and I feel like I have drank the complete contents of the bar. In reality I have only had a few drinks. My heart breaks and my mind spins as I think back to the events of today. My fiance the man that was supposed to love me, cheated on me. He put his dick inside someone else and implanted his seed.
When she first came to me and told me this I didn't believe her. I knew without a doubt she was lying. Then I was thinking back to the last time Carson and I had sex. right before we were about to have sex. He grabbed a condom. He had never done that with me before. We had always had sex without. There was no chance of me ever getting pregnant due to a condition I had.
  I look at her angry. I don't know what to do or believe. She eventually leaves and an hour or so later Carson comes home. I wait for him not sure of what I am going to do or say. What if she was lying? What if she wasn't? I think I just have to ask him and see what he says.
My heart is breaking and I am trying to keep calm. Tears form in my eyes as the man who I have loved and given my all to for three years stands there looking clueless in front of me. I open my mouth and say...
  A girl claiming to be your girlfriend came by today. I say calmly. She claims she is pregnant with your child. A little over three months. Carson I need you to be honest with me...is she telling the truth?
He looks at me and tears form in his eyes. He looks up and says...
  She isn't lying. We have been seeing each other for sixth months now. I never wanted to loose you. I just needed more then what you could give me. You worked all the time and when you were home you never wanted to do anything. Babe I'm sor...
  Don't you even bother. How dare you blame this on me. It's not my fault. I tried my best to give you everything you needed. I gave it to you until I just couldn't and you know that. You promised me that it was fine. That you didn't mind.
Carson said... At first it didn't. Then you would run around the house in skimpy clothes. I would be so damn turned on and you wouldn't even let me touch you. After a while I got to the point I needed it. I was going crazy. She was there. She didn't ask questions. At first it was just a blow job here and there. Then i started pleasing her. We only slept together once. She came to me a month later and told me she was pregnant. I told her that I would give her money for the baby. I offered her a lot of money to just have the baby and raise it on her own. She said she would. Then she came to me last week and said that I needed to man up and be a father to this baby.
  I told her that I couldn't. That i loved you and i couldn't bring that baby into my home and push it in front of your face because you couldn't have one. She stormed out and said I would regret my decision and she would make sure that her that baby and I were together. I honestly just thought she was blowing off steam. Then, she showed up here today. Baby I am so sorry. She was just a fix. Nothing more.
  Well. I said. I don't want anything more to do with you. We are through. I am going back to my momma and daddy's house to stay for a while.
  Baby you cant leave me over something stupid like this. He yelled.
  Well I am I exclaimed as I walked out the door bags in hand toward my truck.
  I open the door and jump in slamming the door behind me. I slam my hands down on the steering wheel angry and trying to keep the tears from coming. I had given this man so much. I get out of the truck and sit down on the sidewalk and call my best friend Jon.
  Conversation with Jon on the phone...Jonnnn. can you come get me.
Conversation to Graciela on the phone...yeah babe where do you want to go?
  Conversation on phone to Jon...home. I want to go home.
  Conversation on phone to Graciela... okay babe where are you?
Conversation on phone to  Jon...at home...I mean Carson's.
Conversation on phone to Graciela...grac honey what in the world are you talking
Phone call to Jon “Please Jon just come get me."  I beg
Click
I hang up the phone before he has a chance to say anything more. I sit down on the curb behind the truck and wait for Jon. Knowing damn well he will come. He is my best friend and he would never not come. I sit there thinking about all of the shit that Carson and I have been through over the years and how much of my life I have given up for him.
Then I think back to the man that has been there through so many unspeakable things that have happened over the years. He loves me for me not who everyone wants me to be. Never once has he walked away from me or made me feel like shit. He has always had my back and asked only the important questions. Never once has our friendship falter in the least. He had always been there for me.
No matter what happened in my life I knew that I could count on Jon. He would be there for me if I robbed a bank with the get away car. Or dig the hole to burry the body if I killed someone. He would never treat me the way that Carson had. Yet to many things in life kept us from having a relationship.
***Jon’s point of view***
Graciela called me up tonight completely drunk and not making sense. I don’t know what the hell is going on but, I jump in my truck with my boyfriend Mason and head across town to Carson’s house. She has never referred to their house as Carson’s house. All I think about on the way over there is ‘if he hurt her, he is a dead man.’
‘Graciela deserves the world after what happened with our best friend Chris. Who was her first love.  But that’s a story for another time' I think to myself. ‘Right now, I just need to get to her because something just isn’t right.’
I pull up and she is sitting on the curb head in her hands on her knees. He is nowhere in sight. I walk up and sit down with her on the curb. I pull her down and put her head in my lap. I run my fingers through her hair trying to calm her down. She is sobbing so hard her body shakes. I just continue to run my hands through her hair and the sobbing starts to slow.
“Okay babe.” I say calmly. “Tell me what is going on.”
Graciela sobs “He has been cheating on me for months.”
“She is pregnant.” Graciela cries
“I…I…am going home, but I can’t drive.” She weeps “I was drinking and there is now way in hell I will make it the full three hours like this.”
“Okay babes.” I say sitting her up.
“Why don’t we go to my place?” I ask.
“you can sleep there tonight.” I state
“Then we can get up in the morning and we will drive to your parents house.” I smile
“How does that sound?” I ask
“What about my truck?” Graciela asks
“I will have Mason’s brother Jason ride with him, and I will ride with you.” I explain
“I promise you it will all work out” I say softly reassuring her.
“Okay.” She says as Mason and I help her into my truck.
We get to our house and head inside. Our poor girl is exhausted. ‘I think that the trip home is going to be good for her.’ I think to myself. She hasn’t really seen her mom and dad since Carson and her moved here two years ago.
Her parents live in a small farming town. They live on a large farm and have 600 acres. On the farmland they have two houses. Then the house that was intended for Graciela and her future family.
Carson decided that he would be happier in the city and far away from Graciela and my hometown. Deep down we hated him or moving her so far away.  We however hid that because we loved her so much and didn’t want to come in between her and the love they had.
Eventually I ended up following her. I moved into their place that with them because, let’s face it I missed her ass far too much not to be near her. I needed to be closer to her to know that she was okay and was being taken care of.
I met Mason through his twin brother Jason which I just happened to work with. We hit it of fairly quickly. We decided to move in together shortly after we met. I never really got along with Carson because he was a homophobic asshole. I tried to get along with him for Graciela, but it was hard.
When Mason asked me to move in with him, I jumped at the offer. It was best for all of us. I finally had my space from the man who would rather kill me than be a decent person to me.
Now I just have to decide if I should stay here with Mason or move back home with Graciela. If you asked me how I feel about Mason I would without a doubt say that I love him. The only question is can I be happy without being near my Gracie.
I have never had to choose between two people that I love. ‘This is going to be the hardest thing that I have ever had to do.’ I think to myself.  I honestly have no idea what to do. I am lost in deep thoughts trying to figure it all out.  I am brought to the surface when Mason says something to me. I stare at him blankly not hearing what he had said.
“Cat got your tongue?” Mason asks patiently
“Just thinking about what the future holds for us.” I sigh
“I know that I won’t be happy not being near Gracie but, I also don’t want to lose you.” I whisper
“I can’t lose you.” I weep
“So,” Mason says, “ask me to come with you.”
“Will you be happy there without your brother?” I ask
“Maybe he will come with us.” Mason states
“We have all been saying that we need something different.” Mason starts
“Maybe this is what we need.” Mason continues.
“I can call Gracie’s parents and see if it’s okay for us to stay there.” I state.
“I’m sure they will let us stay with them for a little while at least.” I smile
“That would be great for all of us I think.” Mason says
“Okay, I’m going to give them a call and see what they say.” I say
I get on the phone and call Gracie’s mom. I apologize for calling so late and get straight to the point. I explain the situation and what happened between Gracie and Carson. At least the stuff that Gracie had told me. Then I ask if we could stay with them for the time being.
She put the phone down and walks away. I am on the line with just dead static for a few minutes.  She comes back and pick up the phone asking if I’m still there. I answer her back letting her know that I am.
“Marvin doesn’t mind if you all come stay with us.” she states.
“He says you will have to get jobs or earn your keep by helping around the farm.” She explains
“We just hired on some new hands, but they still have not gotten everything caught up yet.” She sighs
“When Jake left it kind of screwed us.” She exclaims
“Well that won’t be a problem.” I start
“We will do all we can to help out.” I continue
“Although, the only one that knows much about farming is Gracie I’m afraid.” I state
“Well you are all smart and if you can follow directions you will be just fine.” She explains
“That we can do.” I chuckle.
“well I better let you go.” I say
“I will talk to you later.” I say as I hang up the phone.
I put my phone away and talk to Mason. He gets on the phone and calls Jason and tells him the info we have, and he asks him how he feels about it. He says that he thinks that this is what the lot of us needs and that he is going to go so that he can get packed.  He tells Mason he will meet us at our place bright and early.
