Who Knew?

Chapter 19

 I sat on my bed for hours just staring at the letter that Jason had written me, crying the whole time. Hunter would knock on the door and ask me if I was okay and I would just tell him I was lying down because I was feeling sick. I didn't want to tell him about the letter and have someone else have pity for me. I was tired of everyone having pity for me.

Around midnight I decided to leave the room and go outside for a walk. I figured I'd go then because everyone would be in bed and I could be alone. I walked out of the back door and was greeted by the warm summer breeze. For a moment, it felt like the breeze could just take all of my worries away.

I was soon brought back to reality when Hunter spoke from behind me, causing me to spin around to face him.

"Jena, what's going on?"

"Nothing, why?"

"Don't lie, I know something is up. You have been acting weird ever since we left Jason's. Now please tell me what's up."

"Nothing. I don't need your pity. I have had enough of your pity, I don't need it!" I lashed out.

I walked off of the porch and walked through the yard to get to the fence. When I got there I sat up on it and cried. That was all I was good for, crying.

Hunter walked over to me a few minutes later and stood in front of me, not saying a word. I reached in my pocket and took out the letter, I threw it at him.

"That's what's wrong. Don't pity me after you read it either."

Hunter's POV:

Jena reached in her pocket and took out a piece of paper then threw it at me. I leaned over and picked it up, on the front it said: To: Jena

No one else read this

"That's what's wrong. Don't pity me after you read it either." She told me as I looked at the folded piece of paper.

I assumed that's what Jason's mom had to give her today when we went over there. I didn't want to read what was on the inside because I knew there was something in that letter that was tearing Jena apart.

"Read it." She told me.

I looked up at her and she motioned for me to go on. I stared at her for a few seconds, trying to see what she was thinking. But it was like she had blocked me from seeing what was wrong with her. I slowly opened the letter up and what I read was nothing I expected to read.

Jena,

I'm sorry I was such a bad person to you, I wish I could take it all back. I heard today that you were pregnant by me and I am so sorry for that. I never meant to hurt you, I just love you so much it makes me do some really stupid things. I know it seems as if I hated you and I hate myself for making it seem like that. I wish I could have been a better person to you but now I have to pay for what I did to you. You are better off without me in your life. You need someone that is going to always be there for you and will never hurt you, that guy for you is someone who is already there with you. I hope that someday you can forgive me. I know that time is nowhere near though. I have to end my life to make it a safer place for you and our child. I don't want our child around me, I might hurt it. Please, don't put my name on it's birth certificate..put Hunter's because I know he will be there for the baby and I know he'll take good care of both of you. I don't want that child to know that it's dad was an abusive, rapist to it's wonderful mom. I'm sorry that I can't be there to help raise that child and love it. But I need to do this, I can't live with myself anymore. Jena, I love you and our child..and I'm sorry.

Love,

Jason.

I looked up from the letter and seen her watching me. She had a look of sadness written all over her face, I walked up to her and once again wrapped my arms around her to let her know I was there for her. I could feel her sobbing into my shoulder as I held her.

"Hunt, I'm scared. I'm not ready to be a mom. I haven't even told my mom yet. I don't want to tell her I was raped again and got pregnant by him."

"Then don't, say it's mine. When you're ready to tell her, tell her. I am going to be by your side through the whole thing so there's nothing to be scared of. I have no problem with you putting my name on the birth certificate, I'd be more than happy to be there for that baby."

She pulled away after I said that and just looked at me. She had a look of happiness in her eyes, you could see that the sadness was still there but she looked happy that I said that.

"Thank you, Hunt. I'm sorry for acting like I have been." She told me.

"Hey, you have a reason to be so upset. But look, you're gonna be one beautiful momma."

She smiled at me then wrapped her arms around my neck. It felt so right to have her arms around my neck.

"Jena.."

"Hmm?"

"Be mine?"

"Of course." She smiled.

I grabbed her face and kissed her. I didn't plan on asking her to be mine but it just felt like the right time to do it.

Jena's POV:

"Jena.." Hunter said.

"Hmm?"

"Be mine?"

"Of course."

When he asked me that, my mood was lifted almost instantly. He grabbed my face and kissed me softly. I was so happy at the moment, nothing could bring me down.

As I laid in bed that night, I thought about the baby I had in my stomach. That sweet, little innocent baby was going to have the best life as possible and I was going to make sure of it. I laid in bed for a little while longer thinking about everything until sleep soon took over.

Jamie came in my room about 10 the next morning, telling me to get my ass up. I slowly climbed out of bed and went to take a shower. I got out of the shower and slipped on some clothes. I had my favorite white shorts on with a purple tube top and finished with my boots that Hunter had given me a while ago.

"Hey pretty momma." Hunter said to me when he seen me come down the stairs.

When he called me momma it made my heart flutter. I walked over to him and hugged him tightly.

"So Jena, have you told momma yet?" Jamie asked.

"Um, no. I'm going to but I'm not going to tell her that Jason is the father or that I was raped again." I let out.

"Oh?" He asked.

"She's going to tell your ma that I'm the father." Hunter told him, smiling.

"Are you sure that's what you want bro?" Jamie asked.

"For this girl, yes." Hunter told him while wrapping his arm around my waist.
