Aria & Damon

Chapter 4 - Friends again???

***Note***

The story has been a little slow so far, but there is a lot of excitement in the future chapters, Some of which a few of you might not like. Ive been concerned with that, but I don't see anyway to change it, Its just one of those things that the character(s) have to go through and hopefully come out of the other side a stronger person. Like the saying. "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. But anyway, Ive read worse stuff in some of V.C Andrews books. (Who is one of my fave Authors by the way.) Just be forewarned. The story as it progresses, may somewhat confusing, but I promise it will make sense when its finished. All I ask is that you stick with it and then make your judgments at the end. Thanks :)

Chapter 4 - Friends again???

I sat there beside Damon, stunned. Neither of us spoke for what I know was close to 5 minutes. I was afraid of what I would say, once I started speaking I didn't know what would come out. Damon and I had just started speaking to each other and I really didn't want to piss him off this quickly. I would open my mouth every few seconds to say something, but would then quickly change my mind and close it. If he or anyone else had been looking at me they probably would have thought that I had lost my mind. I can imagine seeing myself, with my mouth continuously opening and closing and the discombobulated expression on my face.

I finally managed to say "Oh." But I couldn't say anything beyond that. This day had been so emotional. I had gone through so many emotions, happy, sad, excited, angry, shocked, so quickly that I was left feeling exhausted. Damon turned to me and looked me eyes. I know that he is completely serious when he does this. "The problem is," He says, "That I don't think the baby is mine. In fact I'm pretty sure that its not." I was intensely relieved by the possibility of what he was saying, But I still had to ask, "How can you be so sure? You guys have slept together haven't you?" By the look on his face, for a moment there, I thought he was going to tell me that was none of my business, but he hesitated. I knew why, It was because he had not confided in me for years. For all I knew, he hadn't told anyone much of anything in years, except for Sarah, of course. Damon sighed and nodded, "Yeah, we have but not for about a month and a half. In July, my dad and I went up to my uncles house in Michigan. Just like we have every July since my mom died. When I got back Sarah told me that she was pregnant and when I asked her how far along she was, she said she didn't know. I went to the doctor with her and he told us that she was only 3 weeks pregnant. So there is no way that the baby could be mine. She kept telling the doctor that he was wrong. That she hadn't had sex in over a month. And the doctor kept insisting that she was 3 weeks. I cant believe that she was actually arguing with the doctor. Afterward, I tried talking to her about it, but she kept on insisting that she didn't cheat on me, insisting that the baby was mine. And I told her that that wasn't possible, and that she's not The Virgin Mary, She wasn't even a virgin.. The only explanation for her being 3 weeks pregnant, is that she slept with someone else. We fought about it and she actually told me that I needed to marry her! I told her she was crazy. If the baby was mine it would be a different story, I would do the right thing. But the baby's not mine, It cant be. As it is, I cant even consider marrying her anytime in the foreseeable future. She cheated on me, I don't know if I will ever be able to trust her again. Besides that I am not even out of high-school yet. I don't want to be tied down with a wife I cant trust and a baby that's not mine."

I know how he felt. I wouldn't have been able to do it either if the situation were reversed. I felt so relieved at his conformation. It felt as if a lot of weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I still had a chance, sure it was slim, but I had one nonetheless. But at the same time I was angry. How could she do that to him? Didn't she know that she had found one of the good guys? There aren't too many of those out there. I wanted to kick her ass for this. I wanted her to pay for the things she'd done to him. But really, what could I do? I wouldn't lay a hand on her even if I got the chance, because she's pregnant and I don't believe in hitting pregnant women.
