Sparks Fly [Completed]

23. Safe house

I woke up when it was already dark outside I never really planned on sleeping but I guess I was more tired than I first thought. I wouldn't have woken up I thing if there wasn't somebody next to the bed.
"Em, Emily wake up!"
I opened my eyes to see Taylor staring down at me.
"What the hell are you doing here Em!" She hugged me instantly and pulled the blankets of me. "You have no idea how angry Andrew is. He was at our place accusing me of helping you take of." She whispered getting my clothes and throwing them to me.
"Get dressed. We are leaving! I think my parent's finally believe me now. They let me go find you. Andrew doesn't know that of course. You know he nearly hit me with my mom standing right next to me!"
I just sat on the edge of the bed staring at Taylor.
"He hit you!?" I gasped.
"No, of course not. My mom stopped him and I think he was betraying himself too. You know he has been telling everybody you are taking to much pain medication. That you are scared of having a baby and still suffer from severe headaches?"
I bit my lip, I knew he was saying things but not that. I shrugged. "People look at me funny these days. I knew he was telling them something" I admitted still sitting on the edge of Seth's bed making no attempts to get dressed. I don't know why, maybe it felt like it had no use and Andrew would find me anyway.

"Em... We are leaving. I know this tiny hotel a few towns up and we will spend the night there... Tomorrow. Well I don't know. We could go to Florida if you want. Europe, I don't care! As long as it is as far away from that ass as possible! Oh and you will be divorcing him! And press charges!"
She was filled with fire and I smiled a little.
"Come on now Em please... We have to go" She begged.
Finally I started moving and got up.

"Why were you wearing Seth's shirt?"
I had got dresses as swiftly as I could and got into Taylor's car. We were already heading for the fast road when she dropped this question.
I shrugged "I don't know" I muttered. I could tell her of course. I mean I was leaving town now. It wasn't like Andrew would ever find out from her. I just knew she would totally freak out so I would tell her later at the hotel I decided.

I slept most of the journey that took about an hour. Once we were there and had a room i sat on the bed and looked at Taylor who looked a little lost.
"I am sorry I am putting you through this" I whispered. Right away she sat down next to me right away.
"No! Damn don't be. Really I should have gotten you out of there weeks... No years ago!"
I Gave here a crooked grin.
"Tay... I have to tell you something" I started turning towards her and feeling my cheeks flush. Seriously how did you tell your best friend something like this.
"What?" She asked looking a little concerned. "Everything okay with the baby?"
"Yeah, it's fine. I mean... It's growing. Andrew didn't let me go for a check up... but I am getting bigger as you know" I pointed out my little bulging stomach.
"That fucker!" Taylor cursed. I smiled a little wider "That is not it... well it is about the baby... but it... well it's not... It's not Andrew's" With every word I started to talk softer being so ashamed of myself.
I had sex with another man while being married!

Taylor starred at me her face completely blank. She said nothing, just stared at me. So I made use of the silence to actually tell her who was the father.
"I think... no I know it's Seth's. Andrew always uses a Condom. Once when it broke he made me take a morning after pill. It can't be his" I was whispering again.
Taylor was still dead silent.
"Please say something!" I begged her.

All of a sudden she squealed jumped up and pointed at me. "I knew you were perfect for each other!" She yelled and started jumping up and down. "I knew it! I also knew he liked you of course! Ha! I will tell him right away!" She took her phone out and already started to look for his number.
"No! No please do not do that! I messed up enough! I don't want him to know! I do not want to mess up his life with Tiffannie!"
"Tiffannie! That bitch! Honestly he broke up with her over a year back. She just doesn't understand the word no!" She stopped working on her phone. "Please let me tell him" She begged.
I shook my head. "No, please I... I just don't want to... He doesn't want kids yet. Just... just let it okay"
She sighed. "Okay"
