Scandalous?

Chapter 6

Miguel and Rebecca strolled hand in hand through the hallway, ignoring the dirty looks everyone was sending their way. The new couple simply smirked and winked at the other students in the hallways. I even saw a few people flip them off as they passed by.

Aren't we in for one hell of a day?

----------------------------------

After school I was eager to watch the tape that I was handed. That girl looks sweet and innocent from a distance, but damn, she's such a snake. That's why I picked her... Giving me dirt on her friends just for good grades. I opened my laptop and connected the flash drive that contained the tapes.

The video started playing.

A dark bedroom came into view. A bed with wrinkled sheets was placed at the center of the room. There were two figures in the room, the smaller of the two was sat on the bed while the larger one was looking over her with a tense back.

"Emmett?" Maria, a girl that I recognized as a junior, said worriedly.

"Maria what happened that night meant nothing to me!" Emmett said coldly. "I was drunk, I don't even remember what happened."

"But it meant something to me. Please Emmett, just hear me out." Maria pleaded. Sighing, Emmett took a seat on the bed next to her.

"I-" Maria began but stopped, not sure how to word her thought coherently. Emmett only nodded at her to continue. "I think I'm pregnant" Maria said lowly.

Emmett was quiet for a moment, then suddenly he stood up with confusion painted across his face.

"And what does this have to do with me?" Emmett demanded while Maria just continued to look at him, hoping he would understand what she meant.

Suddenly Emmett's face paled. "It's my baby, isn't it?" He managed to choke out. Maria nodded, trying to blink away the tears that were rapidly forming in her eyes.

Biting her lip, she subconsciously placed her hands on her flat stomach.

"I'm only a few weeks in," Maria croaked. "I knew you wouldn't like it! I knew it, I don't even know why I thought you would listen," Maria said sobbing, she crossed her arm across her chest and cried into Emmett's shoulder. Hesitantly, he wrapped his arms around her, embracing her in a friendly hug.

"Hey, hey, hey," He whispered into her hair, rubbing her back in a comforting way to calm her down. "It's not your fault, it's not your fault" He reassured her.

"I'll get rid of it" she said pulling back, she bit her lip again as she stared into Emmett's red eyes "I'll get rid of the baby, you don't have to keep it." She sobbed.

"No" He interrupted, avoiding eye contact. I could tell, he didn't like her the way she liked him. "You can't kill my child."

"But you know my parents would never be okay with my pregnancy. Especially, if it's with a man I'm not with," She cried in her hands, Emmett huffed and hugged her again.

"Than I'll be with you," Emmett said with clenched teeth.

"I couldn't ask you for that," Maria sobbed, shaking her head.

"You're not killing my child Maria," Emmett said firmly, glaring into her eyes.

"I love you, Emmett" she tried to start. She placed her hand on Emmett's thigh as she took a seat beside him on the bed.

"Stop" he said, disgust laced in his tone as he removed her hand from his leg. "You don't love me, don't you dare try to get into my head like that. This is for the baby and only for the baby."
