Sparks Fly [Completed]

25. Time for the truth

I was back to feeling guilty again. I so used at blaming myself for everything I wanted to say sorry to him but he spoke before me.
"She was my girlfriend. Like a year ago. She still likes to tell herself we are on a break. When she showed up I had no idea what to say or do. But she wasn't alone Em, Andrew was there too. How could I take you with him right there?"
Tears welled up in my eyes. "You promised!" I cried "and you left me"
Now he looked even more hurt "I wanted to see you when you blocked your phone... When I... Andrew opened the door in his boxers saying you were... Busy" his face turned blanc.
Of Course I knew what he meant. I could imagine that being hurtfull to him because I said I would come with him. Still he promised. He must have known I couldn't really refuse Andrew sex... I tried and this never worked and made it only more painful.

"Yeah... Because I really enjoyed being busy with him!" I snapped getting up. "Just go Seth. I am done!" I took of his sweater and left the diner. I was done... So done. With everything and everyone. I really didn't want to get back in the car with Taylor but I had to. Before i could open the door Seth caught up to me. "Emily, hear me out... I know I was stupid... It just hurt and I didn't know..." His voice failed looking at me in my t-shirt. It was a tight one that didn't hide my little bulging stomach. It wasn't much or anything but there was no mistaking I was pregnant.
He turned pale and gasped for air. He seemed to want to touch it but I covered it with my arms. I stared at the ground. Okay... The secret was out... Would he understand it was his?

He still didn't make a sound and I peeked up to look at him. As soon as I did that he stepped in and put his arms around me and just kissed me. He was so fast I could hardly move away or object. Not that I wanted to. I had wished for his lips on mine so many times.
When he stopped he leaned his forehead to mine holding me tightly.
"I am never ever going to leave you! Ever! He assured me and kissed me again... Several times. In fact, he only stopped when Taylor got out of the car and let out a very, very loud groan. "God I am hungry, stop this please!"
I bit my lip and Seth chuckled. "Sorry" he muttered. "Yeah... Just get on inside... Or finish of in the car... She is freezing!" She gestured to me. I was freezing, it wasn't warm at all and I had just thrown of Andrews sweater.
"Shit, of course, here put this on!" Seth urged me and started to actually help me in the sweater again. "And inside! You need to eat!"
I raised my eyebrows At him and right away he grabbed my hand. "Please... You need to take good care off... Yourself" he looked a little insecure and his eyes peeked at my stomach.
"Yes and that baby of yours" Taylor said looking at Seth who nodded and looked back at me "yes" he muttered. He seemed a little stunned and maybe even scared.

Back in the diner Seth wrapped his arm around me and kissed my cheek making Taylor chuckle. It felt a little weird sitting next to Seth like this openly and with people seeing us. I was kind of scared Andrew would just walk in.
Both Seth and Taylor probably noticed this because both were looking at me with this look in their eyes.
"You are safe Em" Taylor whispered. Seth just held me a little tighter.
"I don't feel safe" I admitted in a whisper. It was amazing being with Seth of course. This was what i wanted. Still I was married to Andrew.
"Well you know what we have to do then" Taylor declared "We have to file charges to your dear husband... And you have to divorce him!"
I cringed, the idea alone scared the hell out of me. Not because I didn't want too. It was what Andrew did to make me look like an addict and a incapable person.
"What if they don't believe me?" I asked her.
"Why wouldn't they?" Seth had no idea about what went on the last weeks at home. I wasn't looking forward to telling him, so Taylor did.

When she was done with the whole story that started with me ending up in the hospital because Andrew found out I was pregnant and ending with me hiding at Seth's place, Seth was so tense I was scared he would slam the table into pieces.
"You me er got yourself checked out? And everybody thinks your addicted." He said through clensed theeth. "I will kill him!"
"I will help you" Taylor grinned. I on the other hand only felt worse. He had a credible story. Nobody would ever believe me.
"He can't get away with that Emily" Taylor assured me.
"But what if he can? My mom was an addict, that was why I ended up in foster care... She thought the drugs were more important then me" I whispered starring at the table. I had never told Taylor this, let alone Seth.
It was silent for a long time before anybody spoke again.
"He Can't stop you from divorcing him Em, and he can't take the baby because it's not his so fuck him!" Taylor suddenly stated. I looked up at her and managed a smile. Meanwhile Seth put his hand on my tummy. "He can't take what isn't his" he whispered.
