Chapter Twenty: How Could You!?

Chapter 20

It was about a week later since Rob took Reegan. I sat on my couch, staring at the door, waiting for them to come back. Mat comes into the living room as the doorbell rings. He goes to answer it.

Rob stood there, no sign of Reegan. tears brimmed his eyes.

"Rob, where is my daughter?" Mat asks, worry hitting his face. Rob breaks down.

"I'm sorry Mat. I woke up and she was gone," he said, crying then and there. Mat's eyes roll to the back of his head as he fell.

"What?!" I yell, standing up. Jason comes out of the kitchen.

"What's going on?" he asks. I turn to face him.

"Rob lost Reegan. He lost..." I stop, touching my chin. I put my hands on my hips. Jason looks down.

"Jason what's wrong?" I ask. He looks up, tears brimming his eyes.

"Rebecca's pregnant, Mitch. With my kid," he says, tears dripping down his cheeks.

"That means-"

"Yeah. You're the infertile one Mitch," he says. I heart breaks instantly.

"No that's impossible. I'm pretty sure she's not pregnant," I say. He shakes his head. Mat and Rob look at me.

"She told me yesterday. When you went off at me for calling her, I was checking in on her pregnancy," he says. My heart felt like it was being smashed into thousands of pieces.

"No, no this is not happening," I say. He nods.

"She's been pregnant for over 2 months," he says, his voice cracking with every word. I look at him in disbelief.

"Mitch-" Mat starts walking up to me before I punch him in the face.

"JUST EVERYONE LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yell. Mat, Rob and Jason start backing up. I shake my head and run downstairs. I run to my computer, turning on Skype. I scroll until I see Rebecca's name. I see she's online so I call her on Skype. She picks up after about 5 rings.

"Hi Jase-" She stops, staring at me.

"Mitch," she said, looking at her stomach.

"Hi Rebecca. So I are it turns out that, oh I don't know. you're pregnant?!" I yell at her. Tears start to form in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Mitch! But you're not infertile, neither am I, as you can see clearly. I took pills before we had sex so I wouldn't end up pregnant, and I bribed the nurse to say I was infertile," she screams at me before I realize that the three guys were standing behind me.

I spin around.

"You heard everything," I say. Jason, Mat and Rob nod. I turn back to face her. Her mouth was open agape, staring at the four of us.

"Jason-"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT REBECCA. WHEN YOU MESS WITH ONE OF US YOU MESS WITH ALL OF US," he yells, walking up to the computer and ending the call. Tears brim my eyes.

"She lied to me. She lied to my face!" I scream to the computer. I break down. The guys start comforting me the best they could. Rob grabs his hairs, pulling it before walking upstairs.

I stand to follow him, walking up the stairs behind him.

"Rob what's wrong?" I ask. He turns to face me.

"I was found to be bipolar yesterday. I completely spazzed out at Reegan and she convinced me to go get it checked out so I did and now I'm bipolar," he said, sniffling and running his hand through his hair.

"Why is life doing this to us?" I ask. He shakes his head.

"I don't know. I don't want it to be this way," he said. I bro hug him before going downstairs. Mat and Jason sat at my computer, checking Twitter. Jason's eyes had tears in them.

"Jason what's wrong?" I ask. He turns to face me.

"Look. Look at what people are saying," he said. Mat turns to me, tears brimmed his eyes. I walk up to them and looked at the screen.

What people said was brutal. Lots of hate just from Rebecca tweeting she was pregnant from Jason. Not smart, bitch. Not smart at all.

"Look at that one. Jason is so stupid he can't ever be a dad," Jason reads. The four of us can't even process what's happening. Suddenly it clicked.

"I remember Rebecca's twitter password from when we were together. She gave it to me so I could say something on her Twitter after she was getting hate," I say, rolling Jason's chair out of the way and logging out of his twitter. I quickly log into hers and close her Twitter account.

The guys nod at me, saying that I was doing the right thing in this situation. I nod and go onto my twitter, deleting all tweets about her. Jason, Mat and Rob do the same.

"Now Rob, about Reegan," Mat says, looking at him. Rob looks at his feet.

"She was kidnapped," he says. All of us tense up.

"Kid-kidnapped?" Mat stutters. Rob nods.

"She wasn't here this morning when I woke up," he said.

"Well we need to put out a missing child's report immediately!" Jason yells. We all agree and call the police, filing a missing child report before going out into the world to look for the adorable little girl that changed all our lives.
