Burned at Both Ends // Sequel

"Y-you're what?!" I scream.

I stare back and forth at Jessica and Ricky in shock.

"I-um I found out the day I cheated on Ricky... again," Jessica whispered.

"And you didn't bother to tell me?!" Ricky shouted.

"I-I knew you wouldn't want anything to do with her," Jessica whined.

"...Her..." Ricky breathed.

Jessica gave Ricky a small smile. I could see a smile tugging on his lips but he didn't smile.

"Whatever, I don't want anything to do with it," Ricky emphasizes it.

"Her! Our baby, is a her, not an it," Jessica says in disgust.

"Whatever just leave," Ricky snaps.

"I uh I'll go, I'll give you updates about her..." Jessica says softly walking away.

I just stand there looking at blankly.

"Cheyenne.." Ricky sighs.

"No don't talk to me I don't think I can do this right now," I say grabbing a shirt and shorts,  walking away from him.

I hear Ricky shout and the bedroom door slam.

I get out of the house away from the party. Away from everyone.

I find myself walking on the streets in the dark. I sigh and sit down on a bench.

Why am I upset? It's not like he cheated on me again and got her pregnant. I guess I'm just mad that Ricky's having a baby with Jessica instead of me.

What if Ricky leaves me for her now? What if Ricky becomes distant? What if Jessica tries to steal him from me? What if when Jessica has the baby, Ricky will want to be in the babies life and then he breaks up with me for Jessica and the baby?

A whole bunch of what ifs went racing through my mind.

Maybe I should just end it with him so he can be with Jessica and the baby, they'd have one big happy family...

After walking on the streets and thinking so much for a while I decide to head back.

I check my phone and see its 3:48am.

I walk home and everyone is gone. The house is trashed. I sigh and quietly open the door to see all the guys and Sam on the couch.

The door made a click sound when I closed it, causing them to turn their heads to me. They immediately stand up and walk to me.

"Where have you been?!" Sam asks worriedly.

"I-I had to get some air," I say.

"For two and a half hours?" Sam snaps accidentally.

"...I um I also had to think.. And clear my mind from shit," I softly say.

"Ugh I'm just glad you're okay," She says and hugs me.

"Uh, where's Ricky?" I ask.

"Upstairs," Chris says.

"We heard what happened with Jessica and him.." Devin says.

I really don't wanna talk about Jessica being pregnant with Ricky, my boyfriends, baby.

"Well I'm tired I'm gonna head to bed," I lie, I'm not tired at all, all my thoughts are racing through my head.

They all nod and I walk away.

"Cheyenne," Ricky's voice comes up behind me.

I just ignore him, I don't want to deal with this right now.

"Cheyenne talk to me!" Ricky snapped at me.

I flinched when he snapped.

"Richard I don't want to deal with this right now," I shot back.

I storm away from him and close the bedroom door locking it. He can sleep on the couch or with one of the guys.

I huff and strip from my clothes and bikini. I grab my pyjama pants and a tank top and climb into bed.

The party did not go as planned.
