Chapter Sixteen

-Kayla's P.O.V.-
I stared at the woman dressed in a black dress that was in Jason's house. Her perfect tan skin, black curls that laid perfectly in place, and red lips that spelled trouble. She was a one thousand while I'm a negative one hundred. Is she the reason why Jason didn't come after me? Did he replace me already?

She looked at Jason then back at me.

"You date that?" She scoffed.

Jason glared at her.

She put her hands up in defense.

"Hey, I'm just saying. I'm the total package and she looks like something the dog drops on the front lawn."

"That's enough, Selena." Justin butted in.

I shot a surprised look at him. 

"You know her?" I mouthed the words so only he would know what I was saying. 

Justin stayed silent. I guess being in the interrogation room at the police station a lot taught him to keep his mouth closed under questioning. Selena-I'm guessing that's what the hoes' name is-smirked at my anger.

"Don't worry, sweetie. He'll come after me since, you know, I'm carrying his baby." She snickered.

My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach at hearing the words. She can't be serious. No, she has to be lying to get under my skin. She just wants to tear me and Jason apart. But we are already so broken that just adds onto the tension. Even if it isn't real. The wall of ice between us turned into stone. We can never be fixed now. I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions without Jason confirming it, but he's a murder. He's known for lying.

"Whoops, she didn't know that?" She faked gasp.

"Selena, leave. Now." Jason demanded in a growl.

"What? She was going to find out anyways, Jason. At least this baby is yours."

"There isn't going to be a baby or you in a second if you don't fucking leave!" Jason sneered. The rise in his voice made fear fill her brown orbs.

"Whatever. I'll be back for you, baby." She kissed his cheek before walking out, stopping in front of Justin. "If that little capture of yours kicks the bucket, call me." She winked and walked away.

Justin's hands turned into fist. Acacia is a very sensitive subject for him. Just the mention of her name brought sadness and anger to his eyes.

I gave Justin a sorry look before shooting a glare at Jason.

"I think you two have some discussing to do." Justin said, breaking the awkward silence.

Part of me didn't want to talk. I just wanted things to go back to normal. I wanted to cuddle Jason every night, pretending none of this fighting never happened. But I know that's not logical. This is real life and it is time to face it.

I walked inside the house and Jason shut the door behind me. No words escaped my mouth. I just listen to Justin back out the driveway. Knowing that Selena was here, probably in the same bed that me and Jason use to sleep in made me want to vomit. Jason had to have sex with her. Why else would she be here? And why was she calling him baby? He's suppose to be mine. I know I left, but it was just a break. Not an actual breakup. I was in pain. All he did was abuse me emotionally and physically. I needed to take a break from it all. I shouldn't have come back. I should've protested Justin's claim on needing to come back here and be with Jason. I needed to be at Justin's, binge on chocolate ice cream and watching Netflix.

Jason let out a deep sigh.

"Kayla, say something. Please?"

I looked around the house, her perfume still lingering.
