Loving alexis

Chapter 21

Alexis

"You can't be serious, alex." His voice grew angry.

"Fletch... I know you're-" I tried to talk but he just cut me off again.

"No. You shouldn't be pregnant, especially with him." Fletcher stared at me furiously.

"It's not your decision-"

"Get rid of it." He said bluntly.

My eyes widened and started to water. "I can not believe you just said that."

"I don't know why you told me, what am I supposed to do? Help you?" He began to laugh.

"No, but I wanted to tell you before you read about it. Because then you'd be really pissed." I said softly.

"And what? You think I'm not pissed right now?" His eyes flared. "To be honest, I really think you should think this through. You'll end up spending your whole life with that man, and if that's what you want, then fine. I'm done being your second choice."

He got up off the bench and walked off to his car, pulling away.

I sat there for the rest of the day, just watching everyone stroll by. The park never seemed so busy to me, maybe because I rarely went. While I was looking around, I spotted the kids playground, and I just watched. A kid. A baby. I'm 18, pregnant, which means there's a human growing inside me. Usually it'd be a calm situation or a happy one at that for most women. For me, I'm so scared. Sitting there for a few more minutes, my phone began to go off.

I grabbed it out of my purse, and answered it.

"Hello?" I croaked.

"Alex?" A familiar voice sounded through my phone.

"Mom.." I choked.

"Honey, we miss you." She sniffled.

"Dad told you?" I asked.

"No, fletcher did. He came storming into the house, yelling with crying, and saying how he was supposed to be the one. Alexis, he's such a mess." She whispered.

"Is he still there?" I asked quietly.

"Yes." She said.

"I'm on my way." I said, hanging up.

I grabbed my bag and ran down the sidewalk to my car, getting in and driving to the place I used to call home.

Opening the door, I ran in.

"Mom?... Tyler?... Kyle?.. Jason?..Fletcher?.." I called out.

No one was on the first floor, so I began to run up the stairs to Jason's room, on the third floor, where mine used to be. Getting to the third floor, I turned left and flung open Jason's door.
He was sprawled out on his bed, watching criminal minds, with tissues in his arms.

"Only you could be this emotional while watching criminal minds." I laughed, giving him a smile.

His eyes widened at who was standing in his doorway. He got up quickly and ran into me, bringing me into the biggest hug.

"Alex.." He began to cry. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too big brother." I smiled against his shoulder.

He let me go and then took a breath, looking at me.

"And you're pregnant." He laughed. "Fletcher must of fucked up. But I'm glad he's the father, Brandon's a jackass. He doesn't need to be in your life."
