When I left the company that afternoon, I rushed back home quickly to pick up River's lunch. Honestly I always had a feeling she was telling the truth when she said she was innocent. And now, after hearing dad's words, I really wanted to investigate more.

I drove to her university quickly. I wanted to hand her the lunch box personally, so I parked my car, and walked to her faculty. When I got there, I couldn't find her, so I asked around.

I felt anxious, and didn't know what to do. I took out my phone to call her, then a group of girls walked up to me. "You're looking for River, right?". One of the girls asked.

I nodded. "Yes. I am. Have you seen her?". I asked, as I eyed the girls outfit. She was wearing a skirt that was way above her knees, a translucent tank top that said 'free the nipples', and she really had her nipples free. She had her hair dyed in a bright pink and green color.

She had like a dozen piercings, and a tattoo on her belly that said 'cum dump'. I tried hard not to frown. "How is this shit even allowed on campus?". I wondered.

She popped her gum loudly in my face, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Yeah. I saw her. She went out with some guy named Spencer". She said, as she placed a hand on my shoulder.

I moved away from her. "Thanks". I said, and walked back to my car. I took out my phone and called River.

I felt my heart swell with anger. But why was I angry? Why did I care if she was with someone else? I wondered.

"River, where the fuck are you? I brought you lunch, and I can't find you anywhere. What are you doing right now? Where did you go?". I asked angrily.

I wanted to know who she was with, and why she didn't tell me before leaving the campus.

To be honest, I just wanted her and the baby to be safe. I didn't mean to hurt her with my words. But for some unexplainable reason, I just say stupid things when I open my mouth.

"I- I came to a café just a few blocks away from the university. Sorry I didn't inform you. I'll come back to the university now". She said, stuttering.

"No! Stay right there. I'll bring the food to you. Share your location with me". I said sternly

"Okay". She said before hanging up.

I got back in my car and drove off. I stopped by a dessert shop on my way to the café.

I waited in line to buy desserts for her. I collected the package and returned to the car.

I felt like I was trying too hard to be nice to her. I wanted to be certain that she was innocent. Only then would I be able to freely treat her well.

I placed the package on the front passenger seat, and drove to the location. As I parked my car, I was a bit hesitant to go into the café.

I wondered if she was in a relationship with the guy in the café with her.

As I walked to the glass door, I saw him take a tissue, and help her wipe something from the corner of her mouth.

She smiled at him and said "Thanks". I felt my stomach flip. I wanted to walk in there and punch him in the face, and tell him she's mine, but I decided to play it cool.

I walked into the café with River's lunch in my hand, plastering a fake smile on my face.

"Don't punch him. He's done nothing wrong - at least not yet". I said to myself as I walked towards them.
