Heartbreak Island

Chapter 34: Heartbreak Island

Reese's POV

"You!" Krystal's mom shouted once she saw me approaching. "This is your fault! How my daughter got mixed up with the likes of you I'll never know!"

"Excuse me?!" Mom stepped up to her. "Don't you dare talk to my son like that. Your daughter lied to him this entire time. You need to be reprimanding her, not my son."

As dad tried to pull them apart I sat next to Cheyenne. She looked very tired.

"You ok?" She looked at me.

"No," I said through gritted teeth.

"Listen, I know you're probably upset and you have every right to be, but please just listen to her side of the story and try to understand."

Ah. So that's what my brother was talking about.

"Whatever," I grunted. A doctor came out and cleared his throat. The bickering stopped.

"Mrs. Parker your daughter is now stable. The baby was in stress which caused Krystal to faint. She's being put on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy."

"Oh thank God," her mother sighed in relief. "Can I see her?"

"Actually..." He paused. "Krystal is awake but she's been requesting to see a Reese Mendez. Is he here?"

Everyone turned to look at me.

"Are you joking!" Her face turned red. "I should be allowed to see my own daughter fisrt!"

"Mam if she doesn't want you in there we can't allow you to go in. However only family can visit her at this time."

"He's the baby's father," my mom supplied.

"And you are?"

"His mother."

"Ok well would you like to go in and see her?" The doctor turned to me.

"Sure."

Krystal was propped up and flipping through the channels on the tv when I entered. I pulled up a chair next to her bed and sat down.

"How're you feeling?" I asked.

She turned off the tv but didn't look at me. "Fine." Her voice was raspy.

"So did you plan on just keeping this from me forever?" I tried my best to keep calm but it was proving rather difficult.

"I don't know, I guess."

"That's all you have to say?!" I got up. "You were just going to let that prick be the father to my child and what, I'd become the stepfather or some shit? Do you realize how fucked up that is!"

"I was scared!" She shouted. "You just barged into my life and screwed everything up! Some days I'm not sure if falling for you was the best thing or worst thing thats ever happened to me! I tell you I'm in love with you, that I'm ready to give up everything for you, and you tell me I'm a fucking fling! Geez, that didn't hurt at all! Then you come back later, we have sex, and you completely cut me off like I was nothing to you! So excuse me if I wasn't bursting with joy to tell you the news!"
