King's College (Sequel to Too Young and Blind)

Unwanted

Aaron

I threw a pillow at Eugénie and ducked when she threw a lamp back, "Just abort it!" I yelled and ran a hand over my head, "Jesus fuck! It was one night!" I didn't expect the whore to come back two months later, pregnant!

"Abort it?" She was still beautiful when offended. She glared through her brown eyes and put a hand on her stomach, "It's against my morals! I know you want me to and I will not! It is my body!" She had a thick Indian accent and I found it pretty but right now it made me angry for no reason.

"Well then raise it by yourself!" I yelled and threw couch cushion at her, watching her dodge it. Even though she was throwing hard objects at me I refused to throw anything that could actually hurt her, after all, she was pregnant, "I want absolutely nothing to do with some brat!"

"Oh, I'm sure!" Eugénie replied and rolled her eyes, "But I'm also sure you want to stay in the good opinion of your very dear friend, Theodosia, and she may think even less of a man as vile of you if she hears you abandoned your own child in pursuit of selfish goals!" She threw her hands up and then crossed her arms as she stared at me, "So be a responsible father or lose the woman I venture to say is the love of your life."

"I didn't ask for this!" I shouted and kicked the wall, ignoring the sharp pain up my leg. I punched the wall and put a hand on my face, "I didn't ask for any of this! I didn't ask for Theodosia to stop loving me! I didn't ask for Alexander to fight me! I didn't ask for this stupid fucking baby! Just abort it and be done with it, it'll make both our lives much easier." I sat in a chair and ignored the damaged wall.

Eugénie simply shook her head and sat next to me, "My life will be made easier by having this child. I'm poor, I have always been poor, but I refuse to always be poor. Pray, a rich man paying me child support. I didn't plan this but with God as my witness I will seize it." She smirked and I let my hands over my face as I bent over.

"Fine-Fucking fine you fucking witch!" I got up and left my own house in anger. I kept walking and walking, anger was clouding my thoughts. I didn't want this, I absolutely did not want this. I've definitely brought shame to my family now.

I didn't realize when but I ran into somebody which pulled me out of my brooding. I looked to see a person on the ground because of me, a girl, and I knew I had to apologize, "Excuse me miss I wasn't wat...Theo?!" There she was, my girl, my beautiful girl.

Shyly Theo stood up and brushed herself off before rubbing her arm, her eyes staying directly on the ground, "Hello Aaron." She mumbled and glanced up, it was then I detected slight fear which killed me inside.

I knew that now wasn't the time but I just had to let it out, "Theodosia I-I need somebody." I told her and felt I would collapse, "I just-I have nobody I trust who I can talk to and I know you do not trust me but I trust you completely so if you could-would-can I just wanted to talk, to be understood." When I was with Theodosia Bartow everything was right in the world because she was right here in my world.

Theo's eyes grew in concern and I felt sort of relieved that she would still feel concern for me, "Yes of course. I was on my way to Apple Bees but we can go to your place if you like to talk?" She tilted her head.

I shook my head instantly, "No. Absolutely not. I will not return home while that wretched woman is inside it. Let's go to Apple Bees." I sighed and followed her in defeat as she led on in confusion. She was still the woman I pined for and wished for, still, the one who I saw Wonder Woman with and her eyes light up with awe as she witnessed another woman climb into the forefront of one of the biggest wars in history before crushing into sadness as she witnessed a true hero's death. I loved her so much and yet I couldn't have her.

Before I knew it had happened I found myself sat down with Theo at a restaurant, again, I never thought I'd be able to witness or see this beautiful sight again in my life, "So..." I bit my lip as Theo looked up with an innocent smile to show she was listening, her left eyebrow always quirked slightly when she smiled and it was the most adorable thing.

I cleared my throat and prepared myself for the answer before asking the question, "You and Samuel Seabury...is that a thing?" I had asked my friends Thomas and Jane about it and they both came up empty which was very odd.

Theo shrugged and twirled some of her hair, that's something she does when she's nervous, "Not really. No matter how I rehearse breaking it off I still know I can't, he's such a good friend but I need to tell him I don't want anything more than a friendship." She sighed and looked away silently."

"Oh okay..." I knew I should comfort her but I couldn't stop but explain how seeing her with another man sent me into a jealous rage and before I knew it I had fucked a stripper and now she was pregnant and forcing responsibility on me. Fuck Eugénie Bearhani.

When I was done I waited anxiously for Theo's response and I was surprised, to say the least, "Do you know what a child is not?" I felt stupid for just staring, "A child is not a coat or jacket. You can't just pretend they don't exist until you feel like it and you can't just run in and out of their lives. If you do not take responsibility for this child then I-I..." She shrugged and looked at her hands, "I shall make myself feel unwanted by you from this day until the unforeseeable future." She sure did know how to run a bribe or blackmail, whichever.

I just sighed, again, exciting I know and agreed. She was right, I had no right to abandon this child, "You're the best, Theo, even now." I saw her blush and felt glad about the fact that I'd done something wrong.

However, Theo just stood up and paced quietly before finally turning to me and asking, "Are we friends again, Aaron? I've missed you a lot."

I smiled and took her hand, shaking it, "Definitely."
