My Perfect Addiction

Chapter Thirty-Four

"Make the call...."

"huh....?"

"Joey, do the press release. Call your publicist ."

"Ryder are you sure this is going to open the door to all different things when people know who you are. You aren't going to just be able to go to school and walk on campus, everything you knew is going to change."

"Joey, I love you it doesn't matter to me just do it."

He looks up at me before walking over and I feel his lips so tenderly press to mine as he whispers,

"I love you...."

He walked into the office shutting the door and I knew he was calling the publicist. I really didn't want to do this, not by a long shot, I did it for him. It was somewhere around eight when I climbed in the car heading to the closest Walgreens. Joey at home with the baby. In the mist of our drunkin night at the club and hotel one thing slipped my mind, protection. Im not on birth control and Joey never uses a condom with me. All I know is I have to grab a Plan B, there is no way either of us are ready for another baby especially now. What I didn't expect is to be recognized in a Walgreens at eight at night. I grabbed the pack of pills not even thinking about it texting Joey as I walked to the counter putting the pack and two twenties on the counter.

"You're her aren't you?"

"Excuse me?"

"You're Joey McIntyre's girlfriend aren't you?

I didn't say a word just smiled hoping she just ring me up so I can get the hell out of there. My pulse raced and all I could think was how does she even know.

"I knew you looked familiar, You are his girlfriend. I seen you two last night at Royale."

My anxiety took over and I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat . I grabbed the box and ran out jumping in the car. I sped out pushing the gas not even realizing I was doing 70 down our street. I don't like this, I don't like the feeling of people knowing what I do. I pulled into the driveway to a bunch of cars,

"What the fuck!"

I seriously not even in the mood for an encore of the last time everyone was her especially with my baby there. I pushed the door open and turned the corner there they all were in the living room, Stryker asleep in Jon's arms.

"What y'all doing here?"

"Figuring out our next move as a group after you and Joe's fuck session in the corner of the club last night, where were you?"

"Jesus Danny if you must know was at Walgreen's getting Plan B."

"You two really are the most immature people"

"You know what Danny I know we screwed up I don't need it thrown back in my face. Its bad enough he didn't even announce anything and someone recognized me and I'm a little freaked out ok. So if you can save the ass chewing please."

Listen I'm sorry Ryder its just this is a huge mess."

"Ry Ry, what do you mean someone recognized you?"

"Joey I was just cashing out texting you and the girl ringing me up says she seen us last night at the club."

He fell next to me on the couch and wrapped his arm around me.
