Falling For The Good Girl

Chapter 25- I Will Wait

Well, she did something stupid, but it's not what you think. Layla got drunk last night and Liam had to bring her back to their place where she got grounded by her mom.

I hope Blake is okay, he never got back to me after last night and I'm worried.
Blake's POV
They are having a baby?! Normally if your parents came back from a weekend vacation they would surprise you with a T-shirt, not news like this. I don't want siblings!

I had to think about this all night and to top it off, they are letting me name it. I don't want a sibling that I will have to take care of because my parents don't do squat. I want to be able to keep my freedom! I want to be able to do what I want to do!

I have to call Ivy "Hello?"

"Hey Ivy, um can we talk?"

"Sure, what's up?"

I scratch the back of my head and reply "actually I was hoping that we could meet at the park if that's okay?"

"Of course. Are you okay?" She asks worriedly and I chuckle. "Not really... I just really need to talk to someone"

"Alright, meet me in five." What she doesn't know is that I am already a t the park. I hang up the phone and wait anxiously for her to get here.

Once she comes I get up and hug her. "Now sit down and tell me what's wrong?" We sit on the swings and I sigh.

"My dad and Mariana are having a baby" she smiles. "Oh Blake that's great, congratulations." She recognized that I am not happy which is why she asked "why aren't you happy about getting a baby brother or sister?"

"Because I will basically be its father and mother"

"What are you talking about?" Alright Blake, the real reason you hate dad is about to come out. Let's unleash the beast.

"Growing up, my dad was never really in the picture. It was always me and my mom against the world while he went out drinking with his buddies. That was until we discovered that he actually wasn't with his buddies. The night of the accident, she found out from uncle Nick that he lost his job and he was sleeping with Mariana instead. Mom got drunk and you know the rest... Now my dad and Mariana are constantly going out partying and leaving me home and I don't want that for the new baby. They will leave it with me and I will basically have to take care of it which I know nothing about"

I was expecting her to give me sympathy but no. Instead she grabbed my hand and simply said "I'll help. You are not alone" which simply made me smile

"You would be willing to give up your freedom to help take care of a baby?" She shrugs. "What freedom do I have anyways? I spent the past four years taking care of my brothers, plus when Luke was a baby I helped. So yeah, I would" I stand up and kiss her so hard that she almost falls off the swing.

"Ew! Get a room you two!" A voice that I recognize as Luke's says causing us to smirk. We notice he's with a girl so Ivy says "who's your friend Luke?" He gives her a shut up look but she smirks.

"Hi I'm Lacy" the girl says with a wave and Ivy's smirk grows larger. "Hi I'm Ivy, my brother has told me a lot about you. This is my boyfriend Blake" I wave at her causing her to smile.

"Well uh we better get going come on Lacy" Luke pulls her away. "Bye, nice meeting you guys!" She calls. Wow, such a sweet girl.

We sit there in awkward silence for a while until I brake it. "So, are you going to Kyle's New Years Eve party tonight?" She nods

"Yeah it should be fun as long as you don't punch him again, not sure what I'll be able to do though. I can't dance-"

"Sure you can. I'll let you stand on my feet and I will do the moving. Trust me, you will have fun and I promise I won't punch him" I wink causing her to punch me. Some things never change with this girl.
