What Love is About (Make It Pop)

Chapter 48

Caleb

I lay in my bed for a few minutes after Darmala left but even laying down was becoming a problem for me because I couldn't do it properly. Evrytime I close my eyes it flashes me back to what happened a few hours ago.

"Jodi's pregnant?"

"I always knew she was a whore"

"Good decision, Caleb would make a hoorible father"

All the murmurs and whispers spread around us made me angry and even more hurt than I already was.

It made me regret what I was gonna do next but still I did it. I hurt the only girl that I truly ever loved.

A knock on the door snapped me back to reality, it opened without my permission but I wasn't in the mood for arguing.

"Hey Caleb...." Corki has become less formal over the years, before she would greet me "Hello brother" and now, I'm glad that she's loosened up a bit, maybe a bit more like being Sun hi but it was fine as long as she isnt a full photocopy of her. We can only ever handle one Sun hi, not two.

I smiled as a reply and she continued to walk towards my bed and lay there next to me, messing her curls in the process. "Look, I know it's been hard for you..."

"Hard? Please... I'm glad she's going...." I sighed "I don't need her and she doesn't need me"

"You didn't let me finish" I looked at her to continue.

"I know you love her"

"How would you know?! I don't even remember if I love her! I don't even know if I still do... So how would you know?!" I wanted to say yes I do but we were always honest with each other and right now, I'm not sure.

"Because!" She pulled out a small box out of her pocket. Standing up she pulled me with her to look at it. "You asked father for this... you asked him if he could fill in the amount of money lacking for this thing that you saved up and worked hard for."

There was no room for me to talk because she was doing it for me "You don't think I know about your extra job cleaning other people's houses? I know... your mom told me. That's why I always did your assignments just in case you couldn't"

My words were cut and my mind was racing. I opened the small box revealing the effort that I did to pay for this one simple thing.

"Please Caleb. Make the right choice. I'm gonna be an Aunt whether or not you're gonna father the child, but I don't want my niece or nephew thinking how their father didn't even want them"

"Corki..."

"Graduation starts in 10 minutes. Get dressed" She stood up and smiled at me but before she could leave she told me one last thing "I know you'll make the right decision. I trust you brother"

My nod was unnoticed when she closed the door. My brain started counting down...

10 minutes left....
