Chapter 26

Jacob's POV

Bring! Bring!
I look down at my phone to see who's calling me. It's Karman. Do I answer? She's freaking crazy. What she did to Livvy's friend was not right and I don't even know what made her do it. Was she jealous? Because she knows that it's just a bet. Or is it?
The phone stops ringing, notifying me that I missed the call, and I honestly couldn't care less.
I sit in my bed doing my homework. Trying to plan some sort of essay for this stupid book my teacher made me read.
Just as I have a good idea my phone goes off again. I look at the screen and see that it's Karman again.
"What do you want?" I yell rudly into the phone.
"Ja -Ja - Jacob?" I hear her sobbing from the other end.
"What is it Karman?" I ask slightly concerned.
"I need to talk to you." She tells me.
"Talk." I say.
"Not over the phone, in person."
"Karman, you're scaring me."
"Meet me in the park in 30 minutes." She says and hangs up.
I look down at my phone. I then throw it across the room, and really hope I didn't break it.
What could she possibly want? And why the hell was she crying?
I grab my phone off the floor, luckily without a crack in the screen. I grab my car keys and head out the door.

I sit on a bench in front of the water waiting for Karman. I scroll trough my messages and contemplate whether I should text Livvy or not.
Could I really be falling for Livvy? I don't know what it is about her, but I now feel like I've just gotta have her. She's sweet and funny and let's not forget that she's totally hot.
"Jacob?" I hear a familier voice.
"Hey Karman." I say awkwardly. "Come sit down." I say and scoot over.
I take a look at her and see that she's wearing her long red winter trench coat that I got her a few years back.
"I'm sorry for being a bitch." She says after a few moments of silence. "The last time we actually saw each other we got into a huge argument and I now know that it was all my fault."
"No Karman, it wasn't. I shouldn't have put Livvy infront of you. You are my girlfriend after all." I tell her and she smiles slightly.
"No really. It was my fault." She says looking down.
"I have a feeling that isn't what you wanted me here to discuss." I say and she nods.
I look and I can see that she's on the verge of tears. He eyes are red and puffy, and her cheeks are tear stained. He lips look swollen and you can see sadness on her face.
"You've always been smart Jacob." She chuckles.
"So what is it?" I ask her.
"I need you to promise not to freak out."
"Karman, you're scaring me now."
"No, Jacob, you need to promise."
"Okay Karman, I promise."
"Okay well, you see the thing is, that I'm well-"
"You're what Karman? Just spit it out." I say more rudly then intended.
"I'm so sorry Jacob."
"Karman?" I question.
"Jacob, I'm pregnant."
I feel my eyes widen and Karman starts sobbing. I feel a few tears starting to well up in the corner of my eyes but wipe them away quickly.
"Wh - wh - what? H - how?" I ask her.
"Well when we had sex, something obviously went wrong." She says.
"You're sure it's mine?" I ask.
"Who the hell else would it be? Of course it's yours! You're the only guy I've ever had sex with." She tells me.
"I can't be a dad at 18." I say. "My parents are going to kill me."
"Jacob, please don't leave me alone in my time of need. You are just as responsible for this mess as I am."
"You - you're right. I got you pregnant, and now I need to deal with the consequences. Trust me you won't have to go through this alone." I tell her and grab her hand.
"Can we please not tell anyone? I don't want this getting out."
"Trust me, I don't either. That's just not something I could deal with right away."
"Thank you Jacob." She says and starts bawling.
"It'll all be alright Karman." I tell her and she leans her head on my shoulder whole she cries.
We've only had sex one time, we used protection, so why is this happening to us? It's probably our karma for trying to mess with Livvy.
What do I do now? Because I sure as hell don't know.
