My Controversial Secret

Chapter 41: Confessions

The door was open as David made his way into the apartment. Why was it open? The room was dark and quiet. No sound of anything. When Delilah said Jenna left over a fight and her ex-boyfriend's been in contact with her it was like his worst nightmare had come alive. 

This was why she had been distant. This guy was harassing her and he had no idea. None. David doesn't know whether to punch the guy or himself for being so self-absorbed. When he reached her building, he noticed a cop car and an ambulance standing on alert by the curb. 

A taxi stopped behind his car and Delilah got out. "Oh my god, what happened?"

"What are you doing here?" David growled. 

"Dad, please I know I made a mistake but I need to see her,"

"A mistake? Delilah, you blamed her for the mess you created,"

Her eyes widen. Shock visible on her face. "What do you mean?"

"Do you think I won't know? I am a lawyer for fuck sake, it's my job to doubt and investigate people,"

"Dad I-"

"Not now. I want to see Jenna," 

David crossed the street and walked to the building's entrance hoping none of these vehicles got Jenna. Every one of the uniformed officers was on alert as they talked a bunch of codes in their walkie-talkies. 

David saw a guy possibly the perp sitting on the back of the police car with his hands cuffed to the roof. He didn't recognize him. His face was brawny, full beard that made him look scary, eyes that definitely looked drunk and drippy shoulders as if he is not trying to sit straight. 

"Sir, you can't go inside right now," One of the officers said when he tried to enter the building. 

"I have to. My girlfriend lives here,"

"Can you tell me her name? We will check up on her but most likely you have to stay outside."

"No. You can't tell me what to do. I have to see for myself if she's-"

"David," Someone called freezing him in one place. He recognized the voice. How could he not? He spends nights listening to her moans. Her pleasurable screams. "David," she called again and he willed himself to turn to the sound. 

Slowly he whisked his head towards her voice finding her sitting inside the ambulance. A tired smile embraces her lips, red rim eyes as if she's been crying with a bandage on her forehead. Fuck she got hurt? 

She was sitting on a gurney inside, exhausted but looked beautiful. He didn't know how to approach her, afraid he was hallucinating and she was actually badly hurt. But then Delilah came next to him and started crying. 

Someone said to let them in and she spent no time running to Jenna and enveloping her in a hug. 

"Oh my god. I am so sorry. I am so fucking sorry," he watched her pull away and cup Jenna's jaw. "I didn't know this would happen. I was just so angry with everything. Nathan broke up with me. You and Dad and I didn't mean to call you that. Fuck. I would never and look what happened,"

"Sssh, Del it's fine. Calm down," 

"No. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have said that. I am so sorry,"

Jenna rubbed her back, her eyes finding him across the no-entry tapes by the curb. She tried to communicate with him through her eyes, telling him how she was fine and everything was over for good. Her psycho ex-boyfriend was finally caught, and their controversial secret isn't a secret anymore. The whole drama was over.
