Max:
"He's punched Nathan. Now I wish I went to get frozen yogurt with them." Tom said.
I looked up from my plate to Tom, who sat on the the other side of the table reading texts on his phone. I knew Nathan wasn't going to let me near him. I couldn't give him what he wanted. He was nothing more than a band mate, a brother. Kayla was more than just a friend. She is beautiful, unlike any other and mother of my children. She laughed at my jokes without hesitation, she cuddled at night, she is playful and kind, sweet and happy, intelligent and mine.
"Oh?" I said.
I remembered when Kayla called me, crying that our daughter was kicking at the end of month 4. At the time we thought Kayla was only having a single, but later she revealed to me it was twins. My daughters.
"Yeah. You know he said he'd let you hold Shocker when he's born. Only in his sight." Tom said.
"Of course in his sight." I said.
I laughed shaking my head and grabbing my drink.
"He doesn't trust you anymore." Tom snapped.
"I know he doesn't. I didn't expect him to." I said.
Tom's face softened and we both began eating our food. It was silent for a while, both of us not knowing what to say. I pushed the potato around my plate with my fork. A phone vibrated and Tom and I both checked our phones, both hoping it was our own to avoid the awkward silence that bestowed upon us. It was Tom's phone so he read it. I put my phone back in my pocket, looking back up to define his face.
"They heard Shocker's heartbeat. Nathan's passed out, but he'll be fine." Tom said.
"Why did he pass out?" I asked.
Tom held up one finger, telling me to be quiet while he read. I pushed the potato on my plate around some more, waiting for an answer.
"Siva says he passed out because he was told Shocker could come at month 7 if he keeps stressing." Tom said.
"Why has he been stressing?" I asked.
Tom tilted his head to side.
Oh yeah me.
"Well not only you. Nath realized he doesn't have anything ready, you know furniture, clothes, and food." Tom said.
Shit.
"I fucked up. He's only 18 and he might have to stop being in The Wanted." I said.
I stopped messing with my potato and put my head next to my drink on the table.
"How did you to get together?" Tom asked.
"We were never together." I said.
"Fine. How did this happen?" Tom asked.
"It was a drunken night." I said.
I lifted my head to look at him. He wanted more to the story. I didn't want to tell him, have him hate me even more for knocking up our youngest band member. In my defense, I didn't know he could get pregnant.
"Nathan's 5 months now meaning you two had sex in April. Am I right?" Tom asked.
"It was April. April 18th to be exact." I said.
Tom dropped his drink, but quickly caught it. He slammed his drink down on the table giving us onlookers. Our waiter came towards us, but Tom held up a hand, telling him not to bother us. He sent each onlooker a glare until they turned around.
"You screwed him over on his birthday? What the fuck Max?" Tom snapped.
"He wanted me. He was asking, begging for me." I said.
"Your an absolute dick. He didn't really want you, he was drunk! You could be arrested, that's rape of an underage." Tom snapped.
"You gonna tell on me TomTom? It wasn't rape because he asked for it, it's not my fault he doesn't remember. April 18, his 18th birthday, legally an adult." I snapped.
"You don't feel guilty at all do you? You hurt Nathan. He's still a teenager, and shouldn't have to worry about this. He's stressing out over the whole thing. I don't know how you can live and not care you hurt our friend." Tom said.
"Kayla is pregnant too.Am I supposed to leave her because itty bitty Nathan is stressing over the fact I'm not there? Kayla is having twins, Nathan is having one. When Kayla stresses over stuff it's worse than Nathan's stress. I need to be there for her. Kayla is my life, Nathan is a person in my life. There is a difference. If Nathan can't care for our son, Kayla and I will take him or put him up for adoption." I said.
"Put him up? Over my dead body. Kelsey, Nareesha, Siva, Jay, or I would take him in and raise him before you. Your an ass and you'll never have a relationship with your son with that attitude. I get your with Kayla, but you can't just be like that. You don't have to love Nathan or be together, but you could at least be there for him. Nathan and Jay plan on raising him and Jay's doing a hell of a lot better job than you ever could. Come back to the band when you take your head out of your ass." Tom snapped.
He flung money at the table, paying for his meal, grabbed his jacket, and with one final glare, left. I'm losing everyone because of this child. Of course Nathan had to a hermaphrodite and of course I had to be dragged into the whole mess. I stabbed my steak and began eating again, ignoring the once again, onlookers.
