AN: there's so much P.O.V swapping omg I'm sorry.
Mark's P.O.V
"Shit dude...you're sure? How?"
I nodded.
Tom, Travis and I were sitting in our apartment that wouldn't be ours for much longer. Tom was moving in with Jen which I was super happy about and I...Well I would need to move in with Skye and the baby. I'd drove up here after leaving Taylor's. I couldn't even think about her name right now. It just hurt way too much.
"Positive. 3 tests. I don't know we always used protection but condoms don't always work man."
Tom paled.
"What the fuck how can condoms not work?! Where does it say this?!"
I smiled at Tom's worried reaction.
"Relax. On the box. They're only like 98% effective. Jen isn't pregnant. Youre good man."
Tom relaxed slightly.
"Still dude. This is fucked up...what about Taylor?"
I sighed feeling my heart ache in my raw chest.
"I told her I couldn't be with her. I told her about the baby. It broke my heart to do it and I broke hers too...again. The worst part was she was still wishing me and Skye happiness...she wasn't even mad at me. It was just...I can't even talk about it right now."
Tom nodded and came towards me with open arms. He hugged me tightly and I held him back. I really needed him right now. But so did Taylor I knew that. I didn't want her on that long flight alone. She needed Tom.
"Fuck." Exhaled Tom.
I nodded.
I already felt a little better. It made me feel less of an asshole that Tom was having the same reaction.
"Can you do something for me?"
Tom pulled back.
"Anything."
"I don't want her alone on that flight. She needs you right now. You'll go with her won't you? Just be there for her. I was never good at that part. I fucked up every time I tried. But you were always there for her and I'm not in a position to be jealous about it anymore..."
Tom's eyes widened and he blushed slightly. It was rare to see. He usually only blushed when he really liked a girl who made him act like an idiot or if he was guilty.
"You really want me to do that?" He asked hesitantly.
"I think she needs a friend right now. Even more than I do. Plus I still got Trav. Go."
Tom nodded and grabbed his keys as he left.
Travis put his hand on my shoulder and squeezed.
"It'll be ok man." Said Travis quietly.
"Yeah."
I didn't believe it but I said it anyway. I smiled even though I didn't want to smile at all. It meant a lot that Travis was here for me. My mom and Anne were going to be so fucking mad at me. I didn't blame them. I was mad at me too.
Taylor's P.O.V
I couldn't stop crying. My flight wasn't for a few hours yet. I was sitting in departures with my head pressed against my knees. I felt sick from all the tears.
"Hey."
I frowned. I'd know that voice anywhere. I looked up and Tom smiled down at me softly.
