21.
Damien's POV
It had been a week since Karly had ended us and to be honest I was completely heart broken, I didn't even know why she ended us for because I knew it killed her to tell me we were over, I know she loves me and that's what's bugging me.
I hadn't spoke or seen Karly in a week, she had been at school but at break and dinner she would go somewhere else and not to our usual bench. I needed to speak to her but she wasn't answering my calls.
I decided I would wait for Karly to turn up to school today even if it made me late.
***
I was now at school and had parked my car, I waited on the top bench to see Karly walking down with Lucy, I noticed Karly go pale once she had seen me. I got up and walked towards them.
"Karly, can I talk to you please?" I begged.
"I can't Damien, this is killing me and being around you won't help." Karly said without looking at me.
"That's what I don't get Karly, if it's hurting you so bad then why did you end us, I am so confused. I love you Karly." I said trying to stay calm.
Karly didn't reply she just bit her lip and I noticed tears in her eyes, I put my hand out to wipe them away but Karly put her head down and slowly walked away.
I got angry and punched the wall behind me so hard that my knuckle had split open.
"Damien, stop it." Lucy yelled.
"Why? I don't even know why she ended us for, I am so hurt because I know she loves me and I love her so much." I yelled back.
"Calm down please." Lucy begged.
"She's your best friend Lucy, she must have told you something, why did she dump me?" I asked.
Lucy looked at the floor and went to walk away but I grabbed her arm.
"Tell me." I yelled.
"Karly's pregnant Damien."
I was so shocked.
"Congratulations Damien, you are going to be a dad because Karly is keeping the baby." Lucy smiled weakly.
"We used protection." I said confused.
"Karly said the same, it must have broke, look we are going to be late, you need to speak to Karly, she only ended you because she didn't want to ruin your life by making you a dad so young." Lucy said before walking towards the school.
I was so shocked.
"Mr Jones please go to the nurse, your hand is bleeding." One of the science teachers said.
I walked towards the reception.
***
I was sat on the bed in the nurse's room waiting for the nurse to come and see to my hand.
"Damien, what have you done this time?" Mrs Carol asked.
"I punched the wall."
"What have I told you about hitting things harder then you?"
I laughed weakly before looking down at Mrs Carol's baby bump and for some reason I smiled, I did want to be a dad, it wasn't going to ruin my life, I was finally going to have someone who loved me, and I would never be a bad parent like my parents are. My parents think because they give me money and buy me everything that I am happy and they can go off and do what they want. I wasn't happy, not until Karly came along anyway; Karly gave me something to live for.
***
It was now home time and I waited by my car for Karly to walk up the drive.
I finally spotted her and walked towards her. I grabbed her arm and gently lead her to my car.
"What are you doing?" Karly asked.
"We need to talk." I said before opening my passenger door and gently pushed Karly in.
***
We were now at my house and in my bedroom.
"Please tell me why you ended us? I really need to know Karly." I begged.
Karly took a deep breath and then looked at me but she didn't reply.
"Karly, do you want to know why I really went in the army?" I asked.
Karly nodded.
"I have always felt alone Karly, I have never had my parents around to be honest I was never happy, I started to notice I felt more alive when I was around you and then I fell for you." I stopped for a second then carried on.
"You made me happy and I thought you liked me too, but then I found out you had gotten with Liam and that ripped my heart out of my chest and I felt alone again. I decided to join the army because I would always have people around me; I joined because I didn't want to be alone."
I looked at Karly and I noticed the tears in her eyes.
"Then after my accident we finally got together and I was on top of the world and now I am a broken again and I really don't know why and I think I deserve an explanation. So please tell me?" I begged.
"I am sorry Damien; I didn't mean to hurt you. That's the last thing I ever wanted to do, I explained about Liam before." I cut Karly off.
"I know you did, I couldn't care about that anymore I just want to know why I am not good enough for you, why have you broke my heart?" I said while letting a few tears slip.
"I am pregnant Damien." Karly cried.
"I know, I know you are. I managed to get it out of Lucy." I replied.
Karly didn't reply.
"Didn't you think I had a right to know?" I asked.
"Yes I did, and I planned all that out in my head, I was going to tell you as soon as I started showing and I would let you see your baby only if you wanted to, but if you didn't want anything to do with it then I would understand, we are young Damien and I didn't want to ruin your life, that's the only reason I ended us." Karly cried.
I gently pushed Karly on the chest so she would lie down, I hovered over the top of her keeping all my weight on my knees so I wouldn't hurt her belly and our baby.
"Karly, you and this baby have gave me something to live for, I want to be a dad to my baby and I want you to be my girlfriend." I leaned over and pecked Karly's lips, I wiped away her tears.
"I am sorry for breaking your heart." Karly cried.
"Karly, it's fine, I understand why you did it now, I am so happy about being a dad. Please be my girlfriend again?" I asked.
"Yes, I will be your girlfriend again; it killed me to end us Damien." Karly cried.
I got off Karly and lay next to her instead, I cuddled her tight while she sobbed her heart out and I felt whole again and I was buzzing about being a dad.
***
It was now 7pm and I was cuddled up on the sofa with my princess, I had my hand on her belly.
"I want to be there through everything, appointments, scans, everything you name it and I will be there." I smiled.
Karly turned around and kissed me.
"I love you Damien Jones."
"I love you Karly Muller."
