Hate Is A Form Of Affection (UNEDITED)

Chapter 31

Chelsea Walks down the steps and Stands in front of Matt.

"I need to Talk to you." She says, and in a pretty
serious tone.

"Yeah I Don't Know If I Want to listen to another word you have to say." Matt says Getting angry. I stand there awkwardly.

"Why do you always suddenly show up here?" I say confused. She always shows up out of the blue. Not only is it creepy, but Matt and I need our privacy.

"No One Was Talking to you Anderson." She says rolling her eyes at me.

"You know what I'll, uh Give you guys a moment alone to talk. Matt. I'll be inside." I say to him. I turn my attention To Chelsea and see Her Glaring at me, but I Just Ignore Her, and step Inside. I close the door and stand against it. I want to listen in on what they're talking about, but That's wrong, I shouldn't over listen to someone's conversation. I have to trust Matt, and I do.

I sit on the couch patiently waiting for him to come inside. He's been out there for a while now, and I'm actually starting to worry. After a long amount of time he steps in through the door with this expression on his face I Can't Tell. He Looks down at the ground, and I make my way towards him.

"What did she want to talk to you about?" I ask Him. He doesn't answer me, and I start to panic. "Matt. Talk to me." I say.

"She... she's pregnant, and It's Mine." Matt says.

I sit on the couch staring at the floor as Matt sits next to me. How could this happen? I don't know what he's going to do. He's only 17, and having. A baby at this age is going to intervene His Life. He won't be able to go to college, and neither would She. They would have to spend their Days Doing whatever they can to raise their child. He won't be able to live his dream, and he thought of that breaks my heart. I look up at him and see He has this terrified look in his eyes. I grab his hand and send it a small squeeze. I don't even know what's going to happen between us Now, he's going to be a father, a parent, with someone who isn't me.

"What the hell am I going to do?" He asks me.

"I'm speechless. I don't know what To say. What did she even tell you?" I can't really help him if I don't even know the whole story.

"She said that she just found out a few days ago. She Told her parents about it, and they flipped out on her, but they decided to take her to the hospital just to make sure if she really was pregnant. She found out she's already 1 month along."

"And she just found out? Didn't she get any signs or symptoms?" She must really be clueless if she couldn't tell she was with child. The symptoms should explain it all.

"She said she missed her period, but she suspected it was late because of stress. She's been having morning sickness lately, and that's what made her suspicious, plus the little tiny curve That showed up on her belly. She only eats Healthy stuff, so she couldn't be getting fat." He tells me.

Oh, well that explains it.

"I thought we were careful. I used protection, I did everything right I don't know what went wrong. My life is a total piece of shit. The only good thing going for me right now is you." He tells me. I look down, and take my hand on top of his.

"Matt, I'm sorry this is happening, but You Have to Be there for your baby. Chelsea needs you now more then ever."

"I don't think I can. I'm not Ready to be a dad. How could I take care of a baby, I can't even remember to do my homework." He says.

I sigh, and close my eyes. "I don't know, but you'll figure it out. Your not Alone you Know." I say. He looks at me, and I can see the tears form in his eyes.

"You promise?" He asks me. I nod. I pull him into a hug, and I can't help but too cry along with him. I don't know what's going to happen for us. I pull away, and look at Matt.

"Matt... I... I don't know what's going to happen between us now." I say.

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" He asks me.

"I don't think This, is going to work out. Everything's going to change, it won't work for us. Not anymore." I whisper.

"Wait... wait a minute, are you saying you want to break up?" He asks me standing up looking down at me. I stay quiet, and Matt Scoffs.

"Riley, I just told you that I Loved you... you cant, we cant do this. No, I won't let this relationship Break Apart." He says. I stand up, and Look at him.

"I don't want too break up, that's the last thing I want, Matt I love you. I love you more then I have ever loved anyone in my life, but you have to accept the fact that As long as Chelsea is carrying your child, your going to have to spend every minute of every second of the day with her. Taking care of her, taking care of your child, there won't be any time left for us." I say.

"We will make it work. Riley, please don't say this is over. We have to try." He tells me Grabbing Both My Hands looking into my eyes.

"Okay. Okay, we'll give it a try." I say. He pulls me into a hug, and I Hug Him back. I really do hope we can make this work out. I don't want to lose him.

I wake up in the morning, and Reach My hand out to the side, only to feel an empty Bed. I sit up and rub my eyes and see a note left on my desk. It says

'Sorry, had to run. I need to stop and visit Chelsea to go speak to her parents, and talk about what we're going to do with the baby. I'm really
sorry.. I'll be home later. By the way I made you breakfast.

Love Matt

I set the note down, and sit on the bed and Play with my fingers, and it begins.
