Chapter 46 - Believe him✔

5 days later

Jenni

Picking out a new episode of Friends, I wiped away tears from my eyes.

My mom made me cry before. She started to say how she wished I was never born by the commotion I've caused. Everywhere she goes, someone either gives her dirty looks or makes fun of her parenting.

I wonder how Ethan is doing. Andy said the letter he wrote still has yet to be sent. I just need value information on about how he's doing so I can sleep at night.

Rubbing my tummy, I chuckled when suddenly the door burst open. There stood my mother with a fake smile plastered on her face.

"Your baby daddy is on T.V," She said before walking out and I ran behind her.

What do you mean he's on T.V?

Jogging my way to the living room, I sat near my dad and he unpaused the screen. The reporter started to talk.

"Last night this video was posted on the internet of Mr. Ethan Gates saying his side of the story of what really happened with his student, Ms. Jenni Irvine, who he had a secret relationship with. We will now play what this man has to say for himself," The woman said and that's when Ethan was now on my T.V screen.

I felt like crying with excitement. But he looked so different.. He has bruises and cuts all over his face.

"Hi to whoever bothers watching this. I doubt you'd waste you time over me but whatever, I need people to know what really happened," He took a deep breath and stared directly at the camera lense.

I felt like he was looking at me.

"When it was my first day to go to work that Monday morning, I had no idea who Jenni was. All I knew was that she was my student. That's it. When I saw her in my class, her beauty attracted me right in my eye and I couldn't stop my feelings for her. I couldn't stop my heart wanting her. I couldn't!" I could see the sadness wash over him.

"We spoke, got to know each other when.. I made the first move by accident. I kissed her and it felt amazing. I felt like I was dreaming and nothing could stop me from returning to reality. Nothing," That smile of his.

"We became a couple after that. Turned out she liked me in that way aswell. We stayed together, had well.. Sex a couple of times, until I ruined everything and cheated. I'm not going to get into detail about our relationship because I don't want to," He said and I watched him clench his jaw.

"I never forced her into anything. She always accepted sex. I always asked her if she's sure and she always accepted. She loves me and I love her. You can't stop love. You just can't. I feel like I've been put into jail for no reason whatsoever. I've done no harm to anyone else and I just.. I just can't understand why everyone is against me,"

"You see my face right now? That's what my father has done to me. He's beaten me up, broke my knee and made me feel just as depressed as he felt. My whole family are scared of me.. I feel like you've arrested to wrong man!" He yelled.

Clenching my fists, I stayed listening closely.

"I'm changing into a complete monster because of him. I broke almost every mirror in this house because I feel disgusted to even look at myself in the mirror. My mother is adding extra hours to her job because she's scared of me. My brother and sister don't even want to see me anymore and the damn voices inside my head are whispering for me to just end everything. End my life. And I'm willing to do it if I don't start to feel a little bit of happiness," I felt the tears run down my cheeks.

"Jenni.. I don't know if you're even watching this. But if you are, I love you. I will always love you. Loving you is the best thing I look up to when I wake up and before I go to sleep. Please don't hate me like I feel like you do," Dad's arm tightened from around my waist and I smiled.

"Most of you won't believe me. Most of you will. And for those who will. Thank you. Thank you so much," He stopped talking and smiled before the camera stopped recording and the news reporter came back on the screen.

"Thank you for that Mr. Gates. Stay strong and try to remember those who love you," She said and I smiled.

"Now onto our next report, today there-" But the T.V turned off and my mom stared at me.

"You can go back to your room now. I need to speak with your father," She said and dad quickly kissed my temple and I left the living room.

When I knew I was out of sight, I stayed listening closely to what they were going to say.

"Do you believe him?" She asked my dad.

"Yes honey, yes I do. I can see the love he has for our Jenni. He's a grown-up and you can tell he knows how to love someone right. He seems perfect for Jenni," My dad answered.

Best dad ever.

"I'm slowly starting to believe him," I managed to hear my mom whisper.

Wait, hold up.

"I wish we could just easily drop charges on him," She whispered again.

Oh my god.
