Secrets In The Open

Chapter 28 : Losin' Control

Kayla's P.O.V.

Seeing him has all of my emotions out of wack. I don't know what came over me. Why did I call him? I started to cry and the lie fell from my mouth.

"I lost the baby." I said not looking at him. It was quiet. Why did I lie like that? I don't know what came over me. I finally built up the courage to look up at him, there he was with eyebrows creased and a very red complexion. He rubbed his face and clenched his jaw. Tears began rolling down his face.

We just sat there together crying quietly holding each other's hand. After a few minutes, he pulled his hands away as if my hands burned him.

"What..d-did I do?" he hiccupped. "d-did I cause this?" he said with a crack in his voice. The sight of him broke my heart, not only because I loved him: and here I am lying to him. Now he's blaming himself. "Do you hate me?" he said, wiping his face. His face went blank and his voice was as cold as ice.

"No I don't. I should, but I couldn't bring myself to do it." I said truthfully. He nodded and stroke my hand with his thumb.

"Maybe we can work things out? I really want to be with you. I promise things will be totally different this time." he said. I felt the sincerity in his tone.

I pulled my hand back. "Uhhh, I don't know yet, Trey." I said truthfully.

He sighed and nodded. "I understand. I'll give you time." he said as he got up and placed money on the table.

"Trey wait." his head whipped around and he looked at me with hope in his eyes. I  walked over to him and gave him a big hug. He returned with a comforting tight hug and a kiss to my temple.

"I love you McKayla. Don't forget that." he said as he pulled away. He then left.

My mind was racing. I don't know what to do now. I have to live with this secret and I hope I don't lose control along the way. I sighed and exited the café.

Trey's P.O.V.

"I lost the baby." I felt numb. Her words kept playing over and over in my head.

I was so deep in my thoughts, I didn't realize that I was speeding. I pulled over and tried to clear my head but instead tears fell down my face. 'That was my chance to be with her again.' I thought to myself. "Stupid!! Stupid!! Stupid!" I screamed as I hit the steering wheel repeatedly.

After my meltdown, I wiped my face and rolled a joint. I stopped smoking after Trevor died, but with what was going on, I picked up the habit again. I'm plagued with death. Might as well kill myself slowly. After a long pull, I blew out the smoke and immediately felt myself relaxing. For the next few minutes, I sat in the cloud of smoke erasing any thread of emotion and memories.

My phone rang loudly, disturbing my moment.

"Hello?" I answered coldly.

"We need you now." The voice said, I didn't respond. "I'll  send the address." The line then went dead.

"Alright, let's get this over with." I said pulling back on to the road and headed in the direction that lead just outside of town. After 20 minutes, I pulled up to a big ass house. It seemed familiar but I didn't pay any mind to it. As soon as I walked through the gates, some guys came up to me and patted me down.

"At least buy me a drink first." I mumbled and smirked, causing one of them to suck his teeth. The other one talked into an intercom: "Tell Cruz he's here." After a few minutes of waiting, they escorted me inside of the large house.
