You Can't Stop Love (BOOK1)

Chapter 38 - Arrest✔

1 week and a half later

I watched the clock tick and tock as it read that 15 minutes left till the bell rings.

Last final exam. Chemistry. Which by the way I am shit at.

To make matters even worse, I woke up earlier than usual by my morning sickness.

I already know I went rubbish in all of my finals but I seriously don't even care. I didn't even register for any colleges and my mom is so disappointed in me.

Well mom.. I'll probably leave when I'll start showing my baby bump.

Well I'm 8 weeks in and I've already grown to love my peanut.

Staring at my stomach, I placed my hand on it and just felt my heart flutter like a butterfly.

But I need to see Ethan. I need to talk to him.

Finally the bell rung and I immediately stood up from my chair and tried to get out from class first.

I pushed my way through and when I was finally out, I felt like running to Ethan's staffroom but before I could; I heard my name being called.

Turning around, I stared at Shanaia who was in the doorway with a worried expression on her face.

"Can we talk?" She asked me while staring at Fred who walked by us with his hoodie over his head.

Did he ignore us?

I walked in front of Shanaia and she moved away so I had space to walk into class. Watching her shut the door, we stared at each other for a few seconds until she finally spoke.

"Are you ok? I saw you rub your stomach before but I didn't want to jump to conclusions so fast," She told me with a hint of sadness in her voice mixed in with anticipation and nervousness.

While I stared at her stone hard.

Tell someone now. You've kept it secretive for little time now but someone else needs to know. I know Ethan told Genevieve but he hasn't told Marcus or Zara, but Shanaia.. she's my friend and I need to tell her.

"Shanaia, you can't tell anyone by what I'm gonna tell you," I said and excitement flashed her eyes.

I clicked my knuckles and took a deep breath "I'm pregnant Shanaia," I said quietly and watched her jaw drop.

"What?" She yelled and I calmed her down "Is he the father? Is Ethan the father?" She asked me and I nodded my head.

"Yes. Yes and he will be here for me. Shanaia please don't say anything. This is something personal and was very hard for me to get off my chest even if I didn't know for that long. I will tell Zoey.. Soon. She'll probably murder me," I said, not managing to look into her disappointed eyes.

"Your secret is safe with me Jen," Shanaia said as I saw her take out her pinky and I smiled and intertwined my pinky with hers.

Shanaia is seriously the best person you can talk to. You know she won't say something disrespectful about you and she'll always manage to make you smile.

Thank you Shanaia, I needed this.

Sunday night

"Shit Jen, my phone has a bad virus. Not joking. I can't access shit and when I go onto Whatsapp my phone just crashes. All of my photos have been deleted. All of ours. Everything Jen," Ethan told me in such a sad tone I felt so bad for him.

"Hey don't worry, head to iCentre maybe they can do something for you. But about the photos.. That sounds like it's been hacked Ethan. Be careful ok?" I told him and he grunted.

What if it has been hacked?..

Monday

After a nice weekend relaxing from finishing the hard stressful finals, back to school.

Walking into History, I sat down in my place and stared at Zoey who was staring at me.

"What's up with you?" She asked me and my eyes widened.

"Nothing," I said while chuckling and she smiled.

"Jen we haven't spoken in ages! We need to hang out soon," Jason said from behind me and I felt him wrap his arms around my neck.

"Even if we don't speak that much, I still love you guys to death," I said as I blushed and they chuckled.

"Morning everybody. Hope you had a nice relaxing weekend and I wish that you all went splendid in your finals," Ethan beamed with a cheeky grin while taking out a couple of papers from his file.

Something kept on fidgeting in the corner of my eye. I stared at Gary who was smirking and tapping his foot, looking inpatient.

I can't understand why he bothers showing up for this class when he doesn't even take any notice or participate.

Suddenly the door banged open and everyone stared at the police officers walking towards Ethan with a pair of handcuffs.

No.

"Mr. Ethan Gates, you are under arrest for having an intimate relationship with one of your students. Everything you say will be held and used against you in the court of law,"
