Always You

Chapter 17

Holly says, "you brought Matilda?! You had better start talking, right now!" Declan nods saying, "that's why I brought her here." Jason says, "there's just gonna tell more lies!" Declan says, "shut up, Jason! nothing is going on between me and Matilda, but she does have something to tell you". Matilda takes a deep breath saying, "Declan isn't the father of my baby.... Jason is." Holly says stunned, "WHAT?!." Holly pushes Jason who says, "OW! I, um......." Jason gets up and turns to run as Declan says, "oh, I don't think so". Declan stops him and punches him before he falls to the ground; Holly comes over as Declan says, "he's all yours, Holly". Holly says angrily, "so, not only did you sleep with my best friend... while we were dating... you've let her carry this burden all alone?? Jason... you made me SICK... apologize to her, NOW!". Jason rolls his eyes replying, "yeah, right, FOR WHAT?!". Holly scowls at him as he gets up saying, "I am done here". He leaves as Holly comes back to Matilda saying, "it's going to be ok". She cries as Holly hugs her friend warmly. The next day at college Jason is with two guys saying, "me? The father of Matilda's baby? come on, that girl is a slut, who knows who the father is". Declan, Holly, and Matilda watch as Jason leaves while Matilda sighs sadly saying, "I can't believe I fell for his act....". Matilda turns to Holly saying, "I am so sorry, Holly I never should have trusted him". Declan says, "GOD, I hate that guy! He needs to go down." The bell rings as they head to class however Matilda says, "I wish everyone could see him for who he TRULY is...". Later that afternoon, Declan texts Holly, 'how you doing?'. Holly texts back, 'still pissed? You?' Declan texts back, 'now more than ever.' Holly texts, 'what do you mean?' 

Declan texts, 'have a listen for yourself, I overheard Jason in the locker room today.' Holly texts, 'I need to know!' Declan sends her a voice recording as she is shocked texting, 'OMG! Not only is he tarnishing Matilda, but he's also taking me down, too? I cannot let him get away with this!'. Declan texts, 'if only everyone could see him for who he really is'. Holly thinks for a moment as she smiles before planning something for the next day. The next day in college at breaktime in the canteen Holly came over to Jason who says, "oh god, what now?". Holly says, "I want you to apologize, Jason". Jason asks, "for what? I did not do anything." Holly says firmly, "you mean you didn't talk shit about Matilda AND me?!". Jason says, "I have no idea what you're talking about". Holly rolls her eyes saying, "you're probably right, you're too much of a pussy to have started anything". Jason annoyed by her words asks, "what did you say?". Holly replies, "I bet she came onto you, and you were just a helpless lamb". Jason comes closer saying, "fine, you wanna know what happened? I was tired of playing second best to Declan, I could tell Matilda was into me but she was loyal to you, so I started texting her... laying it on thick... one night at a party... we snuck off to the lake, she felt bad about it but I told her I only had eyes for her and that I was ready to end it with you, she believed me and I never returned her calls again". Holly asks, "so Matilda isn't a slut, is she?". Jason laughs replying, "no way, I think I was her first hookup". Holly says, "and what about the rumors, about us?". Jason says smirking, "yeah, I told everyone we did it everywhere, couldn't have them thinking I was a weenie, but it wasn't true, so what? You and I are the only ones who know that FYI I am not a pussy, Holly, I started it all". Holly smiles saying, "and now the whole college will know about it". Jason says stunned, "what?!". Holly reveals her recorder on her belt as she checks the recording video before uploading online. 

Holly says, "no one is going to buy your pretty boy act anymore, Jason... now the whole world will see what a monster you are". Jason angrily glares at her saying, "you bitch!". The students phone beep around as they watch the recording all stunned and shocked; Jason says, "you tricked me!". Holly shrugs answering, "I just asked questions, you're so vain that you couldn't help yourself". Two girls come behind Holly angrily saying at Jason saying, "you make me SICK, Jason!". The two guys from the locker angrily stare at Jason before everyone starts to throw food at him. He runs away while Holly giggles; Declan and Matilda come there as Declan says, "god, you were incredible!". Matilda says, "thank you, Holly you saved my reputation". Holly says, "he deserved it... Tilly, you are so much more than Jason". Matilda nods hesitantly before saying, "s-so, my first ultrasound is today, I'm terrified...w-will you come with me, Holly?". Holly nods replying, "of course I will, bestie".
