Chapter 26

 

 

"Hey Ali." Ben chirped happily as he walked into the lounge as if he owned the place.

What the hell is he doing here? $hit when Ethan found out he was going to go crazy, he'd probably kill him this time and then I'd be left on my own when he got sent to jail. The thought of Ethan being taken away from me made me feel sick and I felt my stomach lurch slightly as I fought for control. I still hadn't taken a breath and my lungs were starting to burn. I forced myself to take in a ragged breath as I stood up moving slightly so that the sofa was in-between Ben and I making me feel a little more in control.

I looked at Johnny accusingly, how the hell could he just trap me like this? Even if this argument was over something stupid like money, he should have known I wouldn't like to be confronted with it like this. He knew me well enough to know that I hated confrontations. Maybe he was doing this to hurt me.

"Johnny, I don't want to talk to him. Can you please ask him to leave?" I asked trying to keep my voice stronger than I felt. I glanced at my purse which I'd put down on the floor next to the sofa and was closer to Ben than it was to me. I couldn't even make a grab for it so I could call Ethan or Andrew.

Johnny frowned and shook his head, "Come on Ali, you two just need to talk it through and get this sorted out. It's not good for either of you to lose your family."

"I need to get to college." I mumbled looking at the door longingly, getting to the door would mean walking past Ben and I really didn't want to do that.

Ben smirked at me as he crossed his arms over his chest, he looked so arrogant right now that I just wanted to grab the nearest lamp or something and smash it into his face.

"We've got time to talk before college. How are you and Ethan getting on? I heard you two are getting married and having a baby." Ben raised one eyebrow looking at me challengingly.

Johnny's face dropped and he looked at me so hurt that I felt my heart break for him all over again. "You're having his kid?" he asked his voice breaking slightly.

I gulped and scowled at Ben, the freaking asshole did that on purpose just to hurt Johnny I could tell by the amused expression on his face. "Yeah." I confirmed through the lump in my throat.

"$hit Ali, I thought you'd come back to me when you started to miss the lifestyle. I honestly thought you were just trying to prove something, I thought you'd come back begging me for another chance when you got fed up with having no money." Johnny said his voice and face tight and hurt. He looked devastated and it made me feel slightly sick.

I shook my head and looked at him apologetically, "I'm so sorry Johnny, you didn't deserve this, but it's happened so there's nothing I can do about it. I love Ethan." I said honestly.

Ben snorted when I said Ethan's name and I closed my eyes as hatred built up inside again, I honestly had never hated anything more in my life and the intense feeling that I had inside right now should have been able to kill him on the spot.
