Something Unexpected

Chapter Thirteen (Edited)

~Kaiden's POV~

"Do you want to come back to my place?" Sasha purred into my ear.

I used to like it when she spoke to me like that but now, it was like nails down a chalk board.

"Nah I can't," I lied. "Mom want's me home early tonight and speaking of which, I should probably get going."

"But the guys aren't even here yet."

Pushing past her to get out of the booth, I gave a tight lipped smile. "Tell them something came up, nice seeing you again Sasha."

"But-"

I didn't wait around to hear the large array of excuses she would come up with as to why I couldn't go. As I was heading out the door I saw Connor, Eric, Tyler and Jake across the road. Everyone except Eric was crippled over with laughter as Laura and Nick jumped into his car and took off. Stepping out onto the warm sidewalk I folded my arms, wondering what they had just said to make both Laura and Nick run so fast.
Noticing my presence from across the road, Eric broke away from the group and jogged over to me. As he neared the light I could see the worry and fear on his face. He hadn't even stopped running before he started apologizing.

"Man, I am so sorry. I tried to get them to leave her alone but they wouldn't listen." He apologized, out of breath. 

"What did they say?"

His face fell, "Connor pointed you out, she saw you.... With Sasha."

My stomach dropped.

No fucking way.
No way was this happening. 

"Sasha was only there for Connor and next thing I know she is putting her mitts all over me. Eric, what the fuck have I done?"

"You need to tell her exactly what you just told me. When she saw you, man I've never seen a chick try so hard not to cry in my life. I thought she was gonna lose it and so did Connor."

"I'm gonna kill him." I swore, taking off across the street.

At the sound of my feet Connor turned around, a huge obnoxious smirk on his face. 

"Hey man what took you so lo-"

Drawing my fist back I punched him as hard as I could across the face. His head snapped back with an unhealthy crack as blood started to poor from his nose. 

"What did you do?" I yelled between punches. Eric grabbed my arm, pulling me away just as Connor regained his footing and took a swing, only missing my inches. "What did you do?!" I repeated. 

"Kaiden you don't want a baby, you want a football scholarship and hot chicks not diapers and Laura Evans."

"I'm in Love with her!" I barked. 

Everyone stood still, sharing awkward looks with one another. Connor stood tall and still, his chest rising and falling with every unsteady breath. 

"Want to repeat that for me?" He all but whispered.

Breaking free of Eric's grip I came clean about everything, "That night, she was drunk but I wasn't. I know I shouldn't have let it happen but I have wanted her for so god damn long, I became selfish. When she didn't speak to me again I was certain she didn't remember so I let it go, then out of nowhere she tells me I'm gonna be a dad?"

Casting a glance around at my friends I smiled to myself. They all stood with wide eyes and awkward stances, I guess this wasn't how they expected the night to turn out. 

"Why her man?" Connor spat, blood covering the small spot of concrete near his feet. Every pair of eyes turned to him, confusion evident in every set.
