Not Over You // j.g. (wattys 2015)

Twenty Five.

Jack Gilinsky

I wake up in the morning to find Lia absent from the bed. I get up to search for her and she is once again the bathroom throwing up. This is the 3rd time between last night and right now. I go to her in the bathroom and rub her back softly.

"Are you okay, Lia?"

"Yes. I'm fine. Thank you, Jack." She coughs a little and tries to kiss me on the cheek.

"Oh heck no. Brush your teeth before you place your mouth on any part of my skin." I laugh. I kiss her on the head and get up to go make breakfast. As I walk out of the bathroom, I hear someone's phone ringing. It's Lia's. I pick up her phone to see who's calling and it's... Aiden. I let the phone ring until it stops. A notification appears signaling that he left a voicemail as well as many other messages from Aiden. A wave of anger suddenly washed over me. I had to find Aiden.

"Hey, Lia. I'm going out. Will you be okay by yourself?"

"Of course I am." She smiled at me. "I call if I need anything." I leaned down and kissed her cheek.

"I'll be right back, okay?" She nodded and I stepped out of the door.

When I got to Aiden's house, his car was in the driveway. I got out of my car and walked up to his front door, knocking on it. He lived in a small apartment near the college, he lived on the first floor of the building.

The fading green front door of his apartment flew open.

"What do you want?" He growled.

"Stop calling her."

"Or what?" He asked with a smirk on his face. "You gonna call the cops?"

"No." I took a step toward while he took a step back. "I'm going to punch in your face. Do I really need to explain any further?" I pulled my arm back and punched him in the face. He stumbled back and fell to the ground. I straddled his waist and kept punching him in the face. He tried to fight back but I was too strong. Suddenly his phone rang. I stopped and looked at the caller ID. It was Lia. I got up from him and answered.

"Talk to her." I demanded, bringing the phone to him. He could still speak pretty clearly.

"Hello?"

"Aiden, you have to stop all this calling and texting. Jack will find out and he'll come and beat your ass. As much as I hate you, I know Jack and he would'nt stop until he killed you, Aiden. I don't wish for anyone to die. No matter what you did to me." I could hear that she was crying.

"I'm sorry, Lia but I need to see you."

"Well, I don't want to see you, Aiden." She hung up after she said that.

"Where you're going, Aiden, you won't see anyone. Unless you have someone to visit you." I left his house without another word to him. On my way, I called Lia and told her that I was on my way home and I would tell her where I went when I got home.

I walked into our apartment to find Lia asleep in bed. I sat down next to her and she stirred a little in her sleep. Her eyes fluttered open revealing her beautiful brown orbs.

"Hello beautiful." I smiled at her softly. She sat up and rested on her elbows.

"So," She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and yawned. "Where were you?"

"Well, let's just say that I know you called Aiden today." She gasped, fear in her eyes.

"What? What do you mean?"

"I went to his house today and I, well, I talked a little sense into him."

"Jack. You didn't hurt him did you?"

"Well, yeah. But-"

"Jack, is he okay?"

"Yes. Yes he's fine." I pulled her into my arms. "We need to call the police and get him arrested for what he did to you."

"Yes, Jack but if you beat him up, they'll know and they might arrest you too." She said, worry edging her voice.

"You're right, Lia and I'm sorry but you know when I get angry..." I trailed off and she nodded. "I also think that you should maybe talk to a counsler or something."

"Jack, I-"

"Lia no. You need to get closure."

"I'll get closure when he's in jail." She got up and went into the kitchen. I followed her and also got something for both of us to drink.

"Anyway, what are we going to do with the baby?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, are we going to keep it or give it up for adoption."

"I...I think I want to keep it."

A swirl of emotions came over me. Fear. Worry. Excitement.

I'm going to be a dad.
