Mystic Goddesses

Chapter 11

It has been two whole weeks since the awkward dinner with the boys. James has tried to reach out to Jolene but she was still upset with him for the way he treated her. Jolene has been devastated since that night, all she does nowadays is lay in her room and stare at the ceiling. She was starting to feel the mate bond between James and her and since she hasn't been near him or seen him she is depressed.

"Jolene open the door! You need to eat something!" Jupiter yelled through the door.

"Fine," Jolene said as she got off the bed and opened the door.

"I made you a shit ton of breakfast foods, I know how much you love them," Jupiter said giving Jolene a huge smile.

"Thank you," Jolene said grabbing the plater and carrying it to her bed. They both took a set with their back against the headboard. They sat in silence for a while until Jupiter couldn't take it.

"Jo, I think you should go talk to James, he is sorry for the way he treated you," she said to Jolene. Jolene looked at in her peripherals and didn't say anything. Jupiter wondered what she could be hiding so she decided to read her mind. She was about to say what was wrong when Jolene stopped her train of thought and yelled at Jupiter to get out of her head.

"That is a huge invasion of my privacy! You have no right to use that shit on me." Jolene said.

"I know I'm sorry, there is no excuse for it. I promise it won't happen again." Jupiter said with guilt.

"Good," Jolene said.

"You know you can tell me anything, right?" Jupiter said.

"I know," Jolene said as she grabbed the remote to the tv and turned on a movie. When Jolene finished eating the food she paused the tv and turned to Jupiter.

"Jupiter, there is something I need to talk to you about. I need you to be understanding." Jolene said.

"Okay... what is it?" Jupiter said suspiciously.

"Okay, I'm just going to say it... I didn't want to tell you this but James and I have been having sex." Jolene said.

"Well duh. I kind of already knew that. I was waiting for you to feel like you could tell me. I'm happy that you two are happy." Jupiter said.

"Thanks but there is something else. I have been feeling sick this past couple of weeks and I just thought I might be sick or something but I don't know anymore... I think I might be pregnant...." Jolene looks at Jupiter waiting for a reply but Jupiter just sits there staring at Jolene while opening and closing her mouth.

"Oh. Do you know for sure?" Jup said.

"No, I kind of didn't want to go by myself," Jolene said.

"Oh, okay I'll go with you to get a test," Jupiter said.

"Thanks," Jolene said.

The girls go to get the test and Jolene takes it. Once it is ready they look at it and it proves that Jolene's suspicions were right. She is indeed pregnant.

"Fuck! No no no, this can't be happening. I can't tell him we talked about kids and he said he didn't want any!" Jolene said before she falls face-first onto her bed.

"Hun, you need to calm down. I don't know what you guys talked about but from the way he hadn't left you alone these last few weeks, that boy loves you." Jupiter said.

"I don't know I don't think I can tell him. We haven't made up all the way yet. The way he reacted at Packhouse makes me think the worse when I think about how he will react to this. What do you think he will do when he finds out the I now will have a kid to deal with and all abandon when I die?" Jolene said. Jupiter didn't reply since she agreed with Jolene on some level.

"Well, I think we should just get ready and see how the boys are feeling," Jupiter said.

"Yeah okay," Jolene said. They both went to get ready. Jolene decided to wear a grey velvet dress that ends a little above mid-thigh with a lace-up back and finished it off with her white converse. Jupiter went with her black dress that is lace up in the front and is long sleeves. Once they were ready they got into Jolene's mustang and drove to Maggie's.

"Jup, I think I'm going to tell him. I think you were right, he will be happy and it will all be okay." Jolene said.

"Great! I'm happy for you! I can't wait to see his face." Jupiter said as she squeezed Jolene's hand.

Once they arrived they got a table and the boys walked in moments after them.

"Hey," James said as he sat in front of Jolene.

"Hey," Jolene answers back. All four of them sat in complete silence.

"I can't stand this. I miss when we used to hang out. I even miss when Josh would call me princess and that just makes me shiver." Jupiter said trying to lighten the mood.

"Well, you guys just dropped a bomb on us and acted like it wasn't a big deal," James said.

"Well I don't know what to tell you, it is the way it is and there isn't anything we can do about it," Jolene said. Jupiter looks at Josh but he is just looking at the table, playing with the menu.

"You don't understand, I love you and I can't just sit around and wait for you to be killed. I want to do everything in my power to make sure you guys are safe." James said.

"Well it is our destiny and there isn't anything we can do about it! I wish there was but you need to be a little more understanding." Jolene said. Josh still hasn't said anything or even looked up.

'Jupiter, I can't tell him now he is furious. He sounded like he understood on the phone but here he is too mad and I can't make him angrier by telling him.' Jolene said in the link.

'I agree but have you noticed that Josh hasn't said anything or looked up from the table once.' Jupiter said.

'I did notice that but I don't understand why he is taking this so hard.' Jolene said.

'I agree.' Jupiter said back.

"---- you just don't want to try." James finished.

"Whatever I can't handle this right now. I think it is time for us to leave." Jolene said.

"Yeah, I agree," Jupiter said. The girls got up and walked to the car. As they were getting in they could hear James yelling their names but they just drove off.

"Jupiter!" Jolene said in fear.

"Oh my God, what?!" Jupiter said in shock.

"What if Halo or the other organization finds out about my baby?" Jolene continued.

"Oh crap, I didn't think about that. What do you think we should do?" Jupiter said with the same amount of fear.

" I think we need to tell Chris and Ann about the baby and tell them we have to disappear," Jolene said.

"What about James and Josh. It is James' baby too." Jupiter questioned.

" I know but what if Halo already knows about them. We have no clue if they know where we are right now or who is in our lives and bringing more people will just make it harder to disappear." Jolene said. Jupiter was contemplating if this was the best Idea but the more she thought about it she could see where Jolene was coming from.

"Okay, where are we going?" Jupiter said.

"Ireland and we leave tomorrow," Jolene said.

"Okay, we can tell Ann and Chris in the morning," Jupiter said before they went to their rooms to pack and get some sleep.

The next morning the girls told Chris and Ann and they were understanding and told the girls not to tell them where they are going just in case. They decided against calling or texting the boys that they were leaving so they decided to write a letter to tell them they left and not to try ad find them. Once they were all packed it was time for them to head to the airport. Chris and Ann drove them there and kiss them both goodbye.

"Ireland here we come," Jolene said as they walked onto the plane.
