In The Spotlight

Chapter 9

"WHERE IS HE!"I shouted as I scavenged round the house"he knows about something and he doesn't tell me!"

"Calm down"Joe ordered

I turned to see Matt walk in the kitchen

"What do you know!"I shouted over to him

He stopped.

He smiled.

"I'm not playing these stupid games anymore Matt"I teared up"I'm done!but please tell me what you know"

He huffed

"Fine!"he sighed

I sat down waiting for him to speak

"Aria it's not about the murder or what happened the night she you know"he said looking down

Then out of no where he started balling his eyes out

" I was not expecting that"Joe whispered

"Why are you so down about all this you didn't even like my mum anyway!"I snapped

"I didn't not like her I just,didn't like you ....ever since my mother passed I had nobody but your mother and we done everything togther she was the only family I had left and when you were born everything changed she never visited me I had no one"he said crying harder

I ran to him and hugged him

"You have me"I smiled"can you tell us what happened?"my face grew serious

"Aria your mother she was,she was....pregnant When she died"Matt lifted is head

I was like a ghost

So white,

So scared,

So hurt,

"Who with"I said struggling

"......Dave" he gulped

I threw myself on the couch

I was crying now

--------------------------------•
4 months later

I slopped on my couch

And turned on the news

"Nearly 5 months latest and we still haven't uncovers the murder of Lisa Potter,Dave has been locked up under suspicion and assault of the famous pop star Ar......"the spokes woman said clearly

"Ugh"i said changing the channel

"Oh crap"i said looking at my phone"two minutes till Joe arrives."

Aloud knock came from the door

"It's time"I reassured myself

Joe walked in as I opened the door

"Sit"I said biting my nails"i need to ask you something"

Joe sat down looking concerned

I took the box from the table

I took a deep breathe

I slowly opened the box

To reveal......

"Joe?"I asked

"Who would you feel about being a father "I asked handing him the narrow box containing a pregnancy test

Joe leaped with joy

"This is so-real omg"Joe cheered

----------------------------•
Later that night

I opened my diary my mother gave me before she passed

And I started to write

Dear diary,
Even though I have been through a tuff start to the year I now know that everything will be okay and the next few years will be the best years.

That's the end of the book,!but don't worry I will be starting a sequel in a week or 2 but for now I am working on something a little different🤗happy reading!
