Just one night...

Chapter 10

'You are joking me?'
What did I say? Yeah sorry Jack I thought it would be a funny joke to lie about being pregnant?
'Of course I'm not joking! I went to the doctors today! I'm 8 weeks'
'Ahh Cas, for gods sake! Why were we so stupid!'
Perfect! He definitely does not want this baby!
'Jack, we've been having unprotected sex for months! It was bound to happen! It just seems like it might have been one of the first few times we actually had sex' I shook my head 'what do we do?'
'Cas, I'm going to Rome for 6 months. I'm still technically with Alice. I can't have this baby!'
He stroked my face as he said it.
'I know we can't. I just can't believe we were so stupid!' I sighed. 'At least we are only 8 weeks'
It was the right thing today. We were being very mature about this situation. It's not fair bringing a baby into the world just yet. A baby deserves the best and we can't give our all to this baby just yet. Maybe one day. But not right now.
'Jack' he looked at me 'we, this, us it's got to end now. This isn't meant to be. You've been in a relation with Alice. We can never be anything more now. You are leaving for Rome soon. We need to end it now'
'I know we do' he walked over to me kisses my forehead and walked away, down the stairs and out of the front door.
I cried. I cried because I really did like him. And if he was never with Alice this could have been different. But he was with Alice. We could never be together.

3 days later and it was like nothing ever happened. Alice and I did what we needed to do.. I went on my own but I was fine. I was fine and I knew I was doing the right thing. I went with Alice. I wanted to be there to support her.
Jack did message to say he was thinking of me, but I ignored it. I needed to move on.
Alice and Jack broke up.

Two months later;

'Cas, you seen on Instagram about Jack?'
Nope I had tried to keep myself distanced from what he was doing.
'No? I haven't really been on it recently. What's he up to?' I said calmly.
It was a very hot Saturday afternoon. We were sat outside at Marie's enjoying the sun with a couple of drinks with our other friends Jenny and Emily.
'He has a new girlfriend' oh this made me feel sad 'and I hate to admit it but she is stunning! She's a model!' Ah shit! A model!
'Wow he's dating a model now? He's only been gone two months!' He moves quickly!
'Look at her' Alice shown us all the photo. He looked so handsome. He had a suit on, he looked more tanned, obviously the Rome sun! She was beautiful! Beautiful! Her name was Sophia. She was a well known model. She had tall long leg. Long blonde hair. A stunning smile. They looked very happy.
'Oh wow! She's gorgeous!' Emily said.
'Yeah she's beautiful' I said. 'Does it not bother you al?
'Nah' she put her phone away 'he was messaging her when we were together so I'm not surprised to be honest.'
They were messaging? Which means they were messaging when we were sleeping together. Which means he was probably doing what we were doing with loads of other girls. Wow.

We were all so drunk! We had been drinking since 12, and it was now 22:00. Shots, cocktails you name it we probably had it. We were having a really fun night. I was trying to forget that Jack had a new girl, but couldn't help myself go on his Instagram when I was drunk! I clicked follow. Very stupid thing to do.. But I was drunk. I felt confident. I DM'd him - 'you and Sophia look very happy. I heard you were messaging her when you were with Alice. How many other girls were you sleeping with? Cheers Jack. Thought I was special!'
I felt confident because I knew he would never see it. How many girls message him on a daily basis. He would never even look at his DM's.

I stumbled out of the toilets.
'More drinks girls??'
They all nodded. I got 4 cocktails and headed back to our table. There were lads surrounding our table. They were hot. We flirted for the rest of the night. I got Cam. Cam was hot. A normal guy, not a footballer, was single. I got his number. He even paid for my taxi. True gentleman.

We continued to message for the next few weeks. We went on several dates and eventually I got myself a new boyfriend.
Cam was lovely. We got on so well. We laughed all the time. He was so complimentary. I really liked him. Nothing could mess up how we were right now.. nothing.
