~Becky's P.O.V.~
Austin's face goes from worried, to furrious. Oh great.
"What do you mean? What kind of sick joke is this, Becky?" he growls.
"I'm not joking. I'm pregnant." I say, as silent tears fall down my face. He doesn't look happy with the news.
"How? We never did IT." Austin reminds me. Then he turns to face me again. Before I can say anything, I feel his hand smack my face. "YOU CHEATED ON ME!" he yells.
"N-No." I cry.
"THEN HOW ARE YOU PREGNANT?! HUH?! IF I PAID ATTENTION IN CLASS, THERE HAS TO BE A MALE!" Austin yells in my face.
"I never cheated!" I yell at him.
"Then how did this happen? You just want to ruin my career so you went behind my back." Austin says through gritted teeth.
"I never cheated!" I scream at him. "Do you want to know what happened? Because I never told you what really went on while I was kidnapped."
~Austin's P.O.V.~
When I hear Becky tell me she never told me what really went on, I realize I never really asked. I think about Jacob and the way Becky looked when I got her back. Broken.
"H-He raped you." I whisper. I look over at Becky who, I now realize, is crying. She nods slowly before I go over and hug her. "I'm sorry for accusing you of cheating. But, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I-I didn't kn-know how." she says quietly. I hug her tightly and feel her bury her head in my chest. I can only imagine what's going on in her mind right now.
"I still love you." I whisper into her hair. "And you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." she shakes her head.
"I need to tell someone because it's gonna haunt me forever." she says.
"Okay." I nod. She pulls away from me a little and sits up on her bed.
"The first night, when they called you, I thought I would be fine. I was alone until after the call. Then, he came in. I wasn't scared until her trapped me between him and the wall. H-He said if I s-screamed I wouldn't g-go home a-alive." she says. I see tears falling down her face like she's remembering what happened and I wrapped my arms around her waist. She jumped at the sudden movement but calmed down when she realized it was just me. "Every night I was concious he would come in. The night you FaceTimed me, the one man beat me so hard I was unconcious for a few hours. He would beat me if I screamed but I couldn't help it." she finishes. She only told me he slapped her every now and then. This is a lot different.
"I should've been there." I whisper. She quickly shakes her head.
"No. They would always tell me if you were there, they'd hurt me more just to see your face." she says.
"But they did anyway, didn't they?" I ask. She starts to cry and hugs me tightly. I feel her shake her head against my chest and I almost cry. I don't know what I did to Jacob. But he needs to stop hurting all the innocent people in my life. First, he killed my mom and now he's hurt Becky beyond repair. I hear her mumble something in Spanish and pull her chin up to face me. "What did you say?" I ask.
"I wish my mom was here." she replies.
"Why? You have me." I tell her.
"I know. I love you." she says.
"I love you more." I say.
"Naw. That's impossible." she says, shaking her head.
