Give Me Life

Chapter 23- The Truth

Jai's P.O.V.~

"I don't really know at this point babe. Are you sure about this?" I whisper to her. "Like I'm not sure if I'm really ready and I'm scared, and I don't want to disappoint you." I put my head down.

"I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm really scared too Jai.. Perhaps this isn't for us. Maybe we could try adoption?" Ali Whispers.

"That's not I want for our kids. I want them to grow up and know us." I say grabbing her hand, lightly stroking the inside of her wrist with my thumb.

"We could always request to see them as much as we wanted to." She says pulling her hand away slowly. 

"Why are you being so bitchy today? Like I know you are pregnant, but damn!" I yell, while starting to speed. 

"All I want you to realize is that i'm scared and I think they need a father that will actually be there. Maybe their ACTUAL father would be a nice fit because you definitely are not!" She yells back at me. After that I keep quiet, sitting there thinking about what must be going through her head. Is she sorry? Is she really mad at me? Does she really want Luke in the picture? 

Alicia's P.O.V.~ 

As I sit here in the car next to him I wonder what is going through his head, considering he got quiet very quickly. Is he mad at me? Did I say something wrong? Will he leave? Do I want Luke more than him? Am I making the best decision for the twins? That's when I look over at him, grab his hand and rub his ring finger. Then i remembered, this had never been the plan. To meet them, to be pregnant, to not go to College or even finish High School. And now my life was all over. I took a deep breathe and moved my hand. I breathe out heavily and he pulls over the car.

"Ok, seriously? What is wrong with you?" Jai looks at me in my eyes, I can see in his eyes he's hurting but he won't ever admit to it, all he says is 'I'm fine.' I roll my eyes.

"Nothing, I'm fine. Can you just drive? Better yet, Take me to Jacob's. Now!" I say pissed off at him for even stopping the car. We weren't going no places, but I didn't want to be in the car with him for much longer or i'd scream.

"No! I will not take you to Jacob's, but I will take you home and we can talk about this there." He says, putting the car back in drive and making his annoyed "Ugh" sound. 

"Listen Jaidon, I don't want to go home with you. Either you take me to Jacob's right now or i'm getting out and walking." I say, sharply, to let him know i'm not joking around and i'm really not.

"Then get out!" He once again pulls over the car, but this time I get out. I grab my wallet and slide out of the passenger seat. I had no idea where we were, but all I know is I will find my way to Jacob's. Then Jai roars his engine as he flies by me. I can tell, at that point we were done, and he really just left his pregnant fiancé on the side of an old dirt back road. Then I felt something warm come from my eye. A tear. Why was i crying? I had no idea. But all I really knew was even if he did come back, I was really done with him. No more changes Jai. Then I take my phone out and dial Luke's number, and all i do is stare at it. Should I call him or should i just wait? Am I making the wrong decision? I deleted the number and put my phone in my pocket. This was going to be a long night. 

JAI'S P.O.V.~

I left her standing there, pregnant and I didn't think to look back once to see if she was okay. Did i really just let the woman I love stand in the middle of a dark back road? Did I do it to hurt her or just for revenge? Should I go back and at least take her to Jacob's? Yes. I have to go back, she can't be alone on some road. Especially that she is 8 months into her pregnancy and she has no food, money or changes of clothing. She doesn't deserve this, and frankly if the kids knew, they wouldn't be very happy with me either. I turn around the car and speed towards her faster than i left. I try calling and texting, but no answer. I hope she is okay.
