Trying to be happy.

Chapter 30:

It's been about two weeks since I left Drew.He and Evelyn have been calling me nonstop.My dad went to the house that night and got my stuff.So here I am 23 weeks pregnant and living at home.I don't know if I am going to go to college,I for accepted but next week is the last week of July.If I'm not going to college I have to get a job because I want to be out of that house before I'm 7 months and I'm 4 months right now.I think I'm gonna apply for the community college.I won't be able to pay for care for Dylan in Washington.However,if I stay here Kayla said she will watch him.
I get out of bed and rub my belly.I go to my bathroom and brush my teeth,wash my face,and comb my hair.I walk downstairs to an empty house.I don't want to sit in this house another day and cry.I take my phone out of my bra and dial Eric's number,we have been talking a lot and he is not happy about Drew.I am kind of starting to like him again.He has been so understanding of my situation.He answers the phone and I can hear noise on the other line.
"Hey Jaz."He says into the receiver,he is trying to talk over the noise.
"Is this a bad time?I can call you later."I say.
"No it's fine I was about to leave."The moment he says that the noise stops.
"Um wanna do something today.Dylan is moving around a lot,"I stutter,"I know you like to feel him move." I add after a beat of silence.
"Sorry I was getting in the car,but sure I'll be there in fifteen minutes."He tells me.
"Ok I'll be ready."I tell him before hanging up.I grab a granola bar before walking up the stairs.I grab a teal summer dress,my curling wand and my makeup bag.I take a quick shower and get out.I quickly blow dry my hair and there is a ring that goes through the house.It's Eric I try to do my hair in haste,but it is not working.I run out of my room and down the stairs before opening the door for Eric.He looks great dressed in a black shirts,gray jeans and black converse.
"Sit!"I say before running back up. The stairs.I hear him chuckle before I close my bedroom door.I do my hair,put on light makeup,and then get dressed.I walk out of my room and down the stairs.I grab my purse and we leave.Eric always has some kind of surprise so I have no idea where we are going.When Eric turns on the radio,my phone buzzes.I unlock my phone and see a text from Drew.
Hey beautiful how r u today.The text reads.
Drew I told you don't talk to text me,I answer.
R u with Eric😡,He grimaces.
I sigh and turn off my phone I lay my head back on the head rest and start to cry.Eric starts to rub up and down my thigh.
"Is he bothering you?"He asks and I nod.Eric pulls over the car and takes a deep breath.He turns around and continues to drive.I know he is heading to Drew's house,but I just stay silent.When we get there we both get out of the car and walk up the driveway to the front door.Eric bangs on the door with his fist on the door.Drew answers and his eyes go to me and then my belly.I cast my eyes down and then he looks up at Eric.
"What is wrong with you banging on my door,like your the police!"Drew yells at Eric.
"Why are you bothering her it is obvious that she doesn't want you."Eric counters.Drew raises his hand,one million memories of that hand flashes through my mind.I flinch and whimper.
"You can got sit in the car,I got this."Eric says in a soothing tone,but I shake my head.
"I want my baby book."I say in a quiet,raspy voice.
"Give her the baby book or I'll crack your skull."Eric says and I jump.Drew walks away from the door,he returns minutes later with the book.He throws it on the floor,making all the papers scatter on the ground.I try to bend down and pick up the book and its contents.Eric softly grabs my arms and picks it up himself.He gives me his keys and I walk to the car.The minute I close the door I hear yelling.I sit back on the seat and go to sleep.About 10 minutes into my nap I hear a door slam and a deep breath.I look over at an angry Eric.I wonder what Drew told him.I grab his hand and rub up and down.His eyes soften tremendously and I smile.
"We can still go wherever you were taking me if you want."I tell him and he smiles and drives off.Eric takes me to a nice restaurant and we eat.I end up going back to his house and when we lay down,I notice his hand is busted with blood on it.I did hear a lot of screaming.
"What did you do?"I ask and sit up.
"Beat him up,like someone should have done a long time ago."He shrugs.
"Eric you can't just fight my battles for me."I scold him and he sits up with me.
"Why not,he deserves it."He says and I sigh.
"Is he hurt?"I ask.
"He was still twitching when I left,so I didn't kill him."He says spookily.I jump and he pulls me into a hug.
"I'm sorry but it is just not right."He says and I nod.Sleep takes over me within seconds.
