Buried Feelings.

31. Jason

I held the phone to my ear as it rang. A total of five times before her voice appeared in the voicemail. I sighed again pressing the end call button and slamming my phone back down on the table in front of me. It was now half way through Uni and I couldn't get Alyssa out of my head. I was meant to pick her up this morning, but she had already left and now she's not responding to my text messages or my phone calls. What went wrong?

I look at the clock and see it was almost one o'clock. Alyssa would be finished soon so I stand up and head out to my car. I was going to go and surprise her and maybe get some answers. Something didn't seem right.

I pulled up outside of the college just as the double doors opened and out walked Alyssa and Jessica. They were laughing about something. I climbed out of the car and leaned against the hood waiting for her to get closer before I say anything. I lift my sunglasses above my head and at that moment Alyssa looked my way like she could sense I was looking at her and just like that her smile dropped. Jessica followed her gaze and a scowl appeared on her face when she spotted me too. Jessica whispered something to Alyssa catching her attention because she looked away from me and at her bestfriend. They then hugged and Jessica ran to a car that was waiting for her behind me. She glared at me quickly before getting into the car.

Alyssa started to get closer and for a moment I thought she was coming over to me, but I was wrong she stomped pass me a glare not leaving her pretty face. She stopped at her car and I ran up behind her.

"You shouldn't scowl Princess... You'll get wrinkles" She span around and looked at me. I pointed to her forehead "You don't want wrinkles here do you?"

"What are you doing here Jason?"

The smile I had on my face faded at the sound of her voice. She was mad. She was mad at me, but why? I step back a little and put my hands in the front of my jean pockets.

"Well I went to pick you up this morning and Arista said you left already" I state and she says nothing just looking at me as if she was searching for something "Princess are you okay?"

She looked away from me and opened her car door "I'm fine" She snaps. I didn't believe her.

"What happened Princess" I heard a sigh escape her lips before she turned around and faced me again. There was an emotion in her eyes I couldn't quite read which made frustration grow inside of me.

"I received something from Amy last night" She states and my heart rate picked up as panic showed its face running throughout my body.

God damn it Amy! What have you done now!

"Why didn't you tell me she was once pregnant?" It came out as a whisper and that's when I pin pointed the emotion in her eyes. It was pain. Pain flashed all through her eyes and over face. Pain that I wanted to take away.

"Princess..." I step towards her and go to wrap my arms around her, but she flinches. She actually flinched

What is Amy seriously trying to do? If she was trying to ruin my relationship with Alyssa then she better think again. I didn't go months trying to get her to open up to me just so she can shut herself off again and cast me from her life.

The look of betrayal suddenly flashed through her big brown eyes and my heart raced. Was this the moment I lose Alyssa once again? Was this the moment I watch the girl I've fallen in love leave me?

The question she asked boomed through my head again. Why didn't I tell her about Amy being pregnant... Maybe because I didn't want to relive the pain I went through with Amy or maybe it was because...

"The baby wasn't mine" I tell her. Shock rose to her eyes and she stood frozen on the spot with her mouth ajar just a tad "Amy told me she was pregnant and I was scared, but excited too. I was going to be a father. I was 17 at the time, but the baby was going to be born into love and a family. Then I found her with my friend, but she assured me that the baby was mine; I still couldn't stay with her, but I was there for our baby and then one night when she got drunk at a party I was scowling her telling her how could she do this to our baby and that's when she told me the baby wasn't mine so to stop worrying" Alyssa still said nothing as she just stared back at me while I told her my story "I dumped her that night and that's when she disappeared for a while. I don't know what happened to Luke or the baby, but it wasn't mine Princess"
