Unexpected

Chapter 8

1 week later...

I was on my way to work. Since the whole thing that happened last week Matthew was avoiding me and Cory had pushed himself into work. Emma was there for me and she was helping me through things but it was safe to say I felt alone.

When I arrived at work I looked at the Doctor time table and saw Matt was working today. I went to the lockers and put my stuff away and then went to the nurses room to have some tea. When I opened the door I saw Matt.

"Hey. How are you?" Matt asked me.

I looked over at him and laughed "Better now you're out my life,"

"I thought things we over between us. We haven't spoke,"

"You ignored my calls and my texts what else was I suppose to do?"

"Well it's fine now anyway Cory doesn't need to worry about me getting in the way,"

"You used me. I hate that. To think I really liked you and I wanted everything to turn out okay,"

"Look no harm done,"

"No harm done? You've hurt me and the last night you spent with me we had sex and now I feel like that meant nothing to you,"

"I'm sorry,"

"Sorry doesn't cover it!"

I had tears in my eyes and I had to leave before I said something I would regret or burst out crying. I then ran downstairs and outside to get some air. By the time I reached outside I was crying and my breathing began to come irregular.

For a moment I stood there and then felt somebody's arms around me "Shh...," they said.

I looked up and saw Cory "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," I kept repeating.

"Shh... Come on it's fine,"

He sat me sown on the bench with him "Now are you going to tell me what's wrong?" he asked me.

I sat there and he held my hand "I haven't spoken to Matt since that morning and I got to work this morning and he was there. He tried blaming me for us not taking but he ignored my calls and text so what else was I meant to do. I liked him and now I feel like my heart has been crushed. The last night we spent together we had sex and it meant nothing to him,"

"Sorry it's my fault,"

"Don't blame yourself,"

"I argued with him,"

"I spoke to Emma and she said you did it because you are protecting me,"

"She might be right there,"

"You just want to protect me?"

"Of course I do. You are pregnant and even if you weren't I'd still want to protect you. You are my best friend,"

I then looked at him "Emma says that you like me?"

"Of course I like you otherwise we wouldn't be friends,"

"I mean more than a friend,"

"We are good friends Jen. You make me smile and I love being around you,"

"You aren't lying are you?"

"No,"

I could tell when he was lying and he was now. He got a tissue from his pocket and he wiped my eyes "Don't let him see you are upset. You are better than him and you have me anyway he wont have anyone,"

"You're right,"

"Of course I am right,"

We both giggled and he smiled "I'll walk you upstairs,"
