Juvie Girl Has A Daughter?

chapter 22

"No Jaden! I told you that Nichol was cheating because I'm your best fucking friend. You deserved to know. I was trying to be a good person and tell you that she was cheating on you. You still loving her and staying with her, that's you not me. I just thought you deserved to know. "

"You just like trying to break people up." Dylan says.

"No I thought he deserved to know. "

"Thank you Tania." Jaden says

"And you know what Jaden. I hate that I tried to be a good person and told you about Nichol ,especially when Jordan new and never said anything."

"What did I do that upset you Tania? "Jaden said.

"Don't get like that with me Jaden. It pisses me off how you knew about Caden and Dylan and never told me about it. That's what pisses me off. "

"And I'm sorry. I should've told you. You're right. You deserved the truth. But this group has always been like this. We always keep our mouths shut when we find out some one did something. "

"What I hate about this group is how everyone can find out some one cheated and keep their mouth shut about it, but when someone keeps something to themselves and it somehow gets out everyone gets mad because it was kept a secret. "

"You're one to talk. You're  getting mad because Jaden kept it a secret that he knew about me and Caden. Yet you kept Sabrina a big secret from Caden and we all got mad at you. "

"You just validated my point Dylan. " I say and cross my arms.

When I got back, the lovely couple did all of their scheduled wedding traditions. First dance, dinner, speeches, cut the cake, and the mother daughter dance. Now the drinks have been flowing and everyone is starting drama. Actually, it was Nichol starting drama.

"Can we get back to what this is really about? " Nichol buffs.

"What is this really about Nichol? " Briana asks.

"It's about Tania trying to break us up because she's jealous. " Nichol says. I laugh.

"Jealous of what? What am I jealous about? "

"That we're in a relationship. We're happy and you're not so you're trying to break us up so we can feel the same way you do. "

"That is a load of bullshit. I'm happy that you're happy. Like I said before, I only told him because he deserves to know and what you both chose to do with your relationship is none of my business. " I say.

"Then stay out of it. Just because you're miserable doesn't mean we all have to be Tania. " Dylan says.

"Go be a mom to your daughter and be depressed about your dead wife, and stay the hell out of our lives. " Nichol spat.

The whole table gets quiet and everyone is looking back and forth between her and I. I grab my phone and my purse and stand. I don't say a word. I just walk away and out of the building.

I'm not going to leave. It's my brothers wedding for fucks sake. I just need air, a cigarette, and I don't want anyone to see me cry. I'm grateful Sabrina isn't here to see this.

I walk around to the side of the building. I pull out a cigarette from my purse and light it. I take a drag as the tears start to fall. I try to wipe under my eyes but it's useless. I continue to cry and take drags from the cigarette for a few minutes. I end up sitting down on the cement and leaning my head back against the side of the building.

"Hey."I see Caden walking towards me.

" What do you want? "I ask wiping my tears and sniffing.

"I wanted to see if you were ok. " He says taking a seat next to me.

"Does it look like I'm ok. "

"No. " I sigh.

"With them, it's like I can't do anything right. I keep it a secret, people get mad. I tell someone, people get mad. It like... What the hell am I supposed to do? "

"Do nothing. That's why I don't really hang out any more. I'm busy, plus it's too much drama and stress. "

"Yet drama still seems to find you. "

"In the form of a women named Tania. " He takes my cigarette and takes a drag.

"It's not my fault. "

"I know. It's mine. "

"Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if my mom hadn't died. If my dad hadn't been married to Tamera and had married my mom instead. I don't think I would know any of you. "

"Your life probably would've been much simpler. "He takes another drag.

" I wouldn't have Sabrina, she's the best thing that has ever happened to me. "

"I regret so much, and not getting to see her grow up is the first thing in that list. "

"Her first word, her crawling, walking, running away from me any chance she could get while we were at a store. Teething, her first loose tooth, her fist cuss word, her firs-" He cuts me off.

"Okay thats enough. I missed a lot and I'll never be able to get that back but I don't intend on missing anything else. "

"Good." I take the cigarette back and take one last drag before putting it out. We sit in silence for a little while.

"Im sorry. " He randomly said.

"For what? " I ask.

"Treating you like shit. I was a manor asshole and you didn't deserve that. I don't know how I'll ever make it up to you. "I look at him.

" You did treat me like shit and I didn't deserve it but come on Caden. It was a fucked up situation. We weren't dating but ended up married in Vegas, thank god it wasn't certified in a court of law, and people get cheated on. It happens. "I shrug.

" Our relationship wasn't normal. "

"Yea.you switched up from being all calm and shit, to psycho as hell when you signed the annulment papers. "

"You started it. You said I had STDs. "

"Ok. I admit. I was acting psycho that day. " I chuckle.

"It's just weird. We were so good after that. "

"Until I got pregnant. "

"Not my proudest moment. "

"I. Can't believe you got me pregnant, asshole. " I hit him in the shoulder. He chuckles.

"I'm not surprised. It's me. I'm glad it was you. "

"As opposed to Mindy. "I chuckle.

" Hell yea. "He laughs. We sit in silence again.

" I still love you . "He murmurs.

" I still love you too. "I say.

"But not in the same way as I love you. " He says. I shake my head no.

"I don't blame you. But we all know sooner or later you'll cave. "

"Never."
