Problems With Love

Chapter 50

Antti's POV

I can't stop thinking about Kristen. I feel like I fall more and more in love with her every time I see her. I mean yeah we are best friends but I want to be more than friends, but she's dating Sadder and I'm dating Cassie.

It's hard though. I don't know if Cassie even loves me or if she ever did. It seems like she doesn't care. She gets jealous easily. We argue a lot usually over stupid things. She gets mad when I text Kristen or any other girl. Or if I can't hang out with her because I have practice. Or when I have away games and road trips. mostly over stuff I can't control.

------------------------------------------

A few hours later Cassie and I decide to hang out. She comes over and we just decide to watch movies.

An hour later I get a text from Kristen.

Kristen: Hey!(: You left your sweatshirt here the other night. Want me to drop it off?

I smile. She makes me happy.

Me: I can just stop by and get it later but you can drop it off if you want it doesn't really matter

Kristen: ok(: Well we could do something later and I can bring it then

Me: sure sounds good but what should we do?

Kristen: idk Navy Pier? We can do like a double date, me and Brandon and you and Cassie. Maybe Kris and Arianna if they want. We can just walk around and get food or something

Me: sure sounds good what time

Kristen: idc 5:30?

Me: sure. I can just pick you up if you want

Kristen: ok sounds good!(: see you then

Me: Alright see ya!

"Who are you texting?" Cassie questions. I was scared to answer. Cassie gets jealous sometimes when I text other girls. I don't even know why. "Oh just Kristen," I say. "Why are you too doing something?" she questions. "No I just left my sweatshirt at her house the other day," I admit. "Well why were you there? We you on a date? Were you sleeping together?" Cassie asks jealously. "No. I was hanging out with Kris and she just happened to be there since ya know she lives there," I say trying to keep my cool. No wonder she and Kristen aren't really friends any more. "Well that was a lot of texting for a sweatshirt. What are you doing?! ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME ANTTI?" she yells. "NO." I yell. "THEN WHY DO YOU KEEP TEXTING HER?!" "WE'RE JUST FRIENDS CASSIE OK?!" "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! I BET YOU TWO ARE GOING ON A DATE TONIGHT!" "WE'RE JUST HANGING OUT RELAX!" "WHERE?" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHERE? ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS WHERE WE'RE GOING!" I yell. "YEAH IT DOES!" "WHY?" "BECAUSE I CAN'T TRUST YOU!"

That hurts. We've been dating for a while and she can't trust me. "What do you mean you can't trust me? Why are we dating if you can't trust me?" I ask softly. "Antti you play for the NHL and you're around so many girls all the time. Ice girls, fans, wives, girlfriends, sisters. How do I know you won't cheat on me?!" Cassie spats. I look down at my feet. "Because I love you," I say. "That doesn't mean anything. Just because people love each other doesn't mean they won't cheat," she says angrily. "Well then maybe we should break up," I say. We both stay silent for a while. I look at my feet. "I think you're right. But I have to admit something first. It's been killing me," she says. I look at her. She stares into my eyes, then looks away. "You know how I said that saying you love someone doesn't mean they won't cheat? Well I love you but I've been cheating on you with the new guy Jared." she says. I look at her. "What?" I ask confused. she just nods. " Oh and I'm pregnant. It's his baby" she says. I look away trying to hold back tears. "I'm so sorry Antti," she says trying to hug me. I gently push her away. "Just go," I say quietly. "Antti I," she start "Please just leave me alone," I interrupt. "Oh and for the record Kristen wanted to do a double date tonight. It wouldn't be just me and her," I say quietly but she doesn't hear. "Hey Cassie," I say before she leaves. "Does Jared know?" She looks into my eyes for a second. "No not yet." "Well just so you know if he decides to leave you because he doesn't want the baby don't come crawling back to me," I tell her.

I stand there staring at my feet. Cassie stands there next to me. She hugs me. "I'm sorry," she whispers before leaving.

I hear her car drive away. Finally she was gone.

I text Kristen.

Me: Hey can I talk to you? Something just happened and I just need someone to talk to rn

Kristen: Yeah of course! I'll be over in a few

5 minutes later theres a knock at the door. I answer. Kristen stands there with her purse handing off her shoulder and my sweatshirt in her hands. Her long hair is up in a ponytail with a french braid in it. She's wearing black shorts and a Hawks shirt. God she looks beautiful. "Hey Antti are you ok?" she asks concerned. "No," I say quietly. She walks into my apartment and hugs me. "What's wrong?" she asks as we sit down on the couch. I take a deep breath. "Cassie and I got in another fight. She said she couldn't trust me and and she thought I was cheating on her but I love her. At least I think I do. I'm not sure. But we decided to break up and she said that she was cheating on me, with Jared," I say. "Well Cassie's a bitch!" Kristen says. "I knew I shouldn't trust Jared ever again. He's such an ass," she said. "Oh that's not all," I say. "That's not all?! What do you mean that's not all? OH MY GOD IS SHE-" Kristen says freaking out. "Pregnant? Yeah and it's his baby," I say. "Well is that what she thinks or could it be yours?" Kristen questions. "It's impossible. We never did it," I say. "I'm so sorry this happened Antti. You didn't deserve it," she says hugging me. I sit there silently. "Well do you still wanna go to Navy Pier with us?" she asks. "No not really. I don't want to intrude and the the third wheel." "Antti it's fine. I don't care. Do you know how many times I've been the third wheel?" she laughs. "Really?" I ask. She laughs. "A lot," she smiles. "Ok fine I'll come," I say giving in. "Cool! Let's go!" she says!
