Chapter 18

Johns POV -Edited-

  "What are you on about?" Alexander asked me.

  "You honestly didn't know that Eliza was pregnant?" I asked him.

  His eyes went wide. "No, I- I didn't," He stuttered.

  "Well, she is. It's yours," I spat.

   "Why are you so mad about that? Its not your ruined future," Alexander retorted.

  "I wanted to be with you," I whispered.

  "We can still be together," He suggested.

  "Yah, while Eliza is pregnant with your kid? Sounds dandy, Alexander," I breathed out. He put his hand on my shoulder.

  "John, ill go to her house after school and talk about it with her. I'll find out what she wants for the baby. I'll figure things out. I want this," He said, pointing between me and him, and leaning in. He connected our lips for a brief second, before pulling away.

  "O-okay."

Alexander's POV

  I knocked on Eliza's door. Hercules opened the door, and stepped aside when he saw it was me. "Where is she?" I asked. Hercules nodded towards the living room, where Eliza was sitting and watching TV.

  "Your pregnant?" I asked her. She looked up at me, startled.

  "I... I was gonna tell you the night you broke up with me," She whispered.

  "But you didn't," I said.

  "I'm sorry, I... its hard, ya know?"

  "No, I don't know. How long have you been pregnant?" I asked her.

  "Month and a half..?" She guessed.

  "Geez Eliza, you... you kept it from me that long?" I asked her. She nodded sadly.

  "Sorry," She whispered nervously.

  "What are you gonna do with it?" I asked her.

  "I wanna keep it."

  "Where does that leave me?" I asked her. She shrugged.

  "Hercules says he will help me take care of him or her, so its okay. But id like it if you visited the baby," She looked at me apologetically.

  "Well duh, I'm gonna visit my fucking kid. As long as I don't have to pay for anything. I don't mean to be heartless but you said you were on the pill Eliza," I said, upset.

  "Can you leave now?" She asked shyly.

  "Yeah, sure whatever," I said, pushing past Hercules, and storming out the door. I was headed straight to the Laurens household.

Johns POV

  Deja Vu hit, as another knock sounded at the door. I ran to get it.

  I opened the door, to reveal an exasperated Alexander. He was staring at the ground, and fumbling with his hands. "A month and a half she hid it from me..." He trailed off.

  I pulled him into my house. "She said she was on the pill! She lied to me!" Alexander cried out.

  "Hey, your okay," I assured him. He looked up at me, as I helped him sit down on the couch.

  "She's keeping it. Says I don't have to pay her nothin'. Hercules is gonna help her with the baby," He informed me. "It's still my kid though. I ain't gonna ruin my education, but I might want custody in the future," He whispered.

  "I feel like I'd be abandoning the kid, if I let Hercules raise him or her. But I need my education. I don't wanna fail the kid anymore than I already will be when I let Hercules take care of him or her. So I'm going to visit, maybe get custody later. But I don't even know if that makes it better. I'm so fucking confused John." He looked up at me for advice but I had none.

  "It's not exactly your fault. She's the one who lied to you. She brought this on herself," I offered.

  He nodded. He looked up at me, after a few seconds of silence. His eyes fluttered down to my lips, and then back up to my eyes as if asking for permission. I gave a slight nod, and Alexander leaned forward, connecting our lips once again.

  "Does that mean yes, you'll go out with Alexander?" Lafayette asked, making me pull away from Alexander. I looked into Alexander's begging eyes.

  "I guess," I gave a small smile to Alexander. His weak smile grew into a big grin. He grabbed my chin, and reconnected our lips, kissing me with more passion than ever before.

  "Oh! Johnny James Laurens, you never told me you had a boyfriend," My mother said sternly. I looked over at my mother in the doorway.

  Alexander laughed, clutching his heart. "I'm so offended. You never told your mother about me?" He whined. I punched him in the arm.

  "Well, it's a good thing I'm making dinner tonight. Alexander, stay, may you?" She asked. He nodded happily.

  "No she's gonna embarrass me, ugh," I whined. My mother stuck her tongue out at me. 

  Dinner would be my doom.
