diego's pov
"i'm back!" chloe called.
"ok!" i answered.
it seemed like she was avoiding me. she was barely looking at me.
"babe," i said. no answer. "babe!" i repeated.
"oh- um- what?" she stuttered.
"you feeling ok?" i asked.
"y- yeah. i'm f-f-fine."
"no you're not..whats up?"
"nothing!"
"yes, SOMETHING. you are acting like you cheated on me or somethin."
"what! no! i'm fine."
"TELL ME WHATS WRONG DAMMIT CHLOE."
"thats the thing.. i cant tell you.."
"what? its our first day in this relationship and we are already having trust issues?!"
"look, diego, i swear. i PROMISE that i will tell you soon. i also promise that i didn't cheat on you."
"don't gimme none of that fuck shit."
"i swear i will tell you when the time is right. I still have to figure things out."
"okay," he mumbled. he started going out the door.
"where are you going!" i shouted.
"somewhere!"
the door slammed.

1 week later
i still haven't told diego. yes, it makes me guilty. but can you blame me? i have to tell my boyfriend that i am having a baby with my ex. i also have to say that i don't even know who is raising it. its pure bullshit. i had to tell him today. no excuses. my phone buzzed. i got a call; it was ethan. i debated on picking it up. i let it ring a few times and then i answered.
"CHLOE!" he shouted.
"damn ethan. what is going o-"
"THE BABY IS COMING."
"WHAT?"
"GET TO OVERLOOK HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW."
the call ended. i grabbed my belongings quickly. i ran as fast i could to the door. until diego got in the way.
"what the fuck!" i shouted.
"where are you going in such a rush?"
"DIEGO PLEASE ITS AN EMERGENCY!"
"where are you going then?"
"THE HOSPITAL."
"for who.."
"STOP ASKING! IF ITS AN EMERGENCY THEN ITS AN EMERGENCY, YOU DUMBASS. MOVE OUT OF MY WAY."
"ANSWER ME. who is it for?"
"M- MY GRANDMA!" i lied. "MOVE RIGHT NOW!"
"ugh! why don't i even believe you!"
"Shut up!" i shouted. i pushed him roughly out of the way. i drove.
(at the hospital)
i ran to the room, and there i saw ethan. he looked extremely stressed.
"our child.." he whispered.
"i know... " i whispered back.
"what are we gonna do with this baby, chloe.." he told me with worried eyes.
"i don't know.. i really wish i did."
"AHH!" the surrogate wailed.
"push!" the doctor yelled.
"oh my god. its coming!" ethan said. (thats what she said)
"what the hell." i said as someone dragged me out the door, i turned around to see diego.
"what are you doing here!" i complained
"i could ask the same question." he said with his fists tightened.
"you cannot be here."
"why not! you know what?! you are telling me whats going on. right here, right now. "
i let out a huge sigh. this was it. it was either now or never. i was telling him..
"diego.." i mumbled. "what ive been hiding from you.. its in the room behind us. and it's happening right now." he continued looking at me. "diego... my child is coming. right now." he was in shock. "And im missing it, right now, because of you. its ethan and i's child. i really didn't want to raise a child with him but i am running out of choices. i think i have made my decision. i am going to have to raise this baby with him. I don't like the idea of it. i really wish i could change things. i am SO fucking sorry that i haven't told you before. it was so difficult. i was so scared. but either way, i'm really sorry.."
he just stood there, not saying a word. i really wanted him to say something, anything. i didn't want to wait painfully for what he was going to say next.
"miss.." the doctor said as she came out of the room. "we have terrible news.. the baby is gone.."
