Chapter 27
Ethan’s POV
I sat on the little chair at the back of the gallery watching as Emanuel put the finishing touches to one of his new displays. I don’t know what all the fuss was about really, it was just a bunch of sculptures, nothing to jump up and down about. He got so damn excited on Mondays. Delivery days. I honestly just didn’t get it, but then again I never was one for art or anything.
My cell vibrated in my pocket so I pulled it out to see a new text from Lia. I grinned happily and opened it.
Ethan, please can you come to Johnny’s asap? Ali
I frowned, come to Johnny’s? What the hell was she doing at Johnny’s? I dialed her cell but it was turned off, what the hell is going on? I called Andrew quickly to see what was happening. He answered almost immediately.
“Hey Andrew, I just got a text from Lia asking me to come to Johnny’s. What’s she doing there?” I asked confused. He had better be with her!
“Not sure man, he text her and asked if they could talk so we came here before college.”
“You’re with her?” I asked frowning. Shit I hoped Johnny wasn’t asking her about the baby! What would we do if he didn’t believe her and knew that the baby was really his? That honestly would kill me.
“I’m in the car outside. She’s been in there for a little while, do you know what he wants to talk to her about?” he asked.
I gulped, “No idea.” I lied. I turned to look at Emanuel, if I needed to go I needed to get someone here to replace me. “I’m coming as soon as I can, I just need to get cover for my target.”
“Ok, I’ll see you when you get here.”
I disconnected the call and immediately called Trent arranging someone to come and replace me so I could leave for the day. Someone would be here within half an hour, hopefully Lia would be able to keep up with the lie until I got there. That asshole Johnny had better not lay a finger on her; I closed my eyes and tried not to imagine him hurting her if he got angry or if he was high.
I sat there watching the clock nervously waiting for my replacement, trying her cell phone every couple of minutes but I still couldn’t get through, I even tried Johnny’s phone but that was turned off too.
When my replacement finally arrived I sped to Johnny’s feeling sick. What do I do if she’s told him the baby was his, shit what if she’s changed her mind and wants to be with him instead of me? Thoughts of her leaving me were buzzing through my head while I made the twenty minute drive, making me feel sick with worry. When I pulled up I waved at Andrew who was still sitting in the car looking like he was playing on his cell phone or something.
