Inevitable

Chapter 41

Rhenn's P.O.V.

It's about 10 o'clock and Michael is driving us back to my house. We gave Jess and Zayn enough time to talk things out. She didn't text any of us to come save her so I'm assuming it went good. Mikey and I talked about our little argument. He said he would never dream of saying yes to another girl even if management set it up. He would refuse. That sent all my negative feelings away and we talked through it.

We pull into the drive full of smiles and giggles. He shuts his car off and hops out to come open the passenger side. He offers me his hand and I take it. I pull my self out of the car by his hand and he shuts the door, not letting my hand go.

"So, do you think someone dropped Zayn off? His car isn't here." I ask him.

"Probably, I didn't see him in his car when he left."

I shrug and walk down my steps with him at my side.

I unlock the door with my keys and step inside to a dark empty space. Hmm, they're probably in bed.

"I hope they aren't getting it on now that we're home." I whisper to Michael. I turn on the lights and walk towards our open bedroom door. I look down to a shiny object reflecting on the carpet. I pick it up and examine the shard. It's glass, I look around and spot Jess's phone shattered on the ground. My heart instantly drops in my stomach and I run into the bedroom. The room is trashed, our pictures are every where and there is glass on every inch of the carpet. I look to my left and see Jess's outline in her bed. I turn on the lights and I see the pillow smudged black and still wet. Tears prick my eyes as I look at her disheveled hair. I crawl up the bed and up to where she is. I shake her gently and she stirs. She obviously wasn't in a deep sleep. She blinks and looks up to me. Her eyes are bloodshot and puffy. Her face starts to turn into a frown and she buries her face in my lap. A sob escapes her mouth and it breaks my heart for her. I stroke her hair and Michael walks in with wide eyes. He looks at the glass everywhere and glances at me. He notices that we're both crying and Jess's head is in my lap.

"Oh god.." He looks disappointed and in disbelief. "I'm going to go get my bag I'll be right back."

I nod at him and look down at Jess.

"What happened, Jess?"

"H-he called me a mistake, he called our baby a mistake, He left Rhenn. He left me." she sobs muffled by the blanket over my legs.

I cup my hand over my mouth and cry with her. "That son of a bitch. I'll kill him." I say through my teeth.

"Rhenn.." I hear Michael from the living room.

I lift Jess's head up softly and climb off the bed. I walk towards his voice. His back is towards me and he's facing the door.

"What?" I stand next to him.

He nods towards the wall. I face where he is looking and I see a gaping hole in the wall. Oh my god. I'm filled with rage and I stomp towards our room.

"What the fuck is that giant hole doing in the wall!? Did he hit you!? I will beat the living shit out of him Jess, What happened!?

She shakes her head and sits up. "No he didn't hit me. He hit the wall above me. He was so angry Rhenn." "Did he do this too?" I point around to the ground. "No that was me. I was full of rage, I took it out on things that shattered. Just like he shattered my heart."

I nod giving her a knowing look and turned to Mikey, who was leaning against the door frame. He looked just as sad as the rest of us.

"Jess why was he so mad?'

She glares at Michael then focuses on me.

"He was pissed because everyone knew before him."

"What? How did everyone know?" I look at Michael and he looks to his feet.

"I uh. When I was skyping you it looked like I was alone. But, you were in such a rush to tell me about Jess, I didn't have time to leave the room. The boys were in front of me playing video games. They over heard. I didn't know that it was that big of a secret." His voice gets quiet as my face turns into a frown.

"Your kidding.."

Jess looks annoyed.

"No. But I dunno how everyone else found out, unless.."

"Unless what Mikey?!" I snap at him.

"Well Ash, was texting Gemma last night. Gemma was with Harry. Harry probably texted Lou, who was with Zayn getting high." he explains.

Jess pipes in with a "hmmm..."

"Greeeaaattt, so Lou told Zayn." I pull my cheeks down and plop down on the bed.

"Lou didn't think to tell him how everyone heard it throught the  grape vine of secrets?"

"He was high as fuck. I don't think he even knew what he was saying. Did you tell Zayn that you didn't tell anyone but Rhenn?"

"I tried. But he threw the 'mistake' shit in my face and I flipped out."

I groan at what a mess this has become.

"Let's just figure this out in the morning. I'm tired of running in circles and my head is throbbing." Jess says pinching the bridge of her nose.

I get up and nod my head. I kiss her forehead and grab pillows and blankets from my bed.

I throw them at Michael and he catches them but is totally thrown off guard.

"Go throw those in the living room and come back and help me with the mattress.

He laughs and throws the bedding on the couch. He helps me pull the mattress to the living room and shuts the light off and the door behind him.

I set up the bed while Mikey watches intently.

"What?" I breathe.

He walks over to me and rests his hands on my hips. I look up at his gorgeous eyes. My eyes travel down to his lips as they pull in to a toothy smile. I grin back and lay me head on his chest. He rests his chin ontop of my head. We stay like that in silence and I breathe in his musky scent and squeeze him tighter.

"I love you." I sigh and close my eyes.

"I love you too babe."

He kisses the top of my head, then my forehead,  and down to my nose.

I scrunch my face up and giggle at him.

"Rhenn.."

"Hmm?'

He tucks a stray hair behind my ear and puts his hand behind my neck. He pulls me to his lips slowly. Our lips connect in sweet kisses and I wrap my arms around his waist pulling him to me. He breaks away breathless and stares into my eyes.

"You're beautiful. You're everything to me. You know that right?" His thumb rubs my cheek and I smile up at him.

"You're my everything too, Michael." I peck his lips and pull away from him. I take off my clothes and pull on one of his shirts I kept.

He looks at me with a smirk "Nice shirt."

"Thanks, my insanely hot boyfriend lent it to me." I giggle and crawl over to him.

I lay my head on his bare chest and trace shapes on his chest. His eyes are closed and he hums in response. His breathing is becoming steady and he pulls me more on top of him subconsciously.

I lay comfortably and listen to his heartbeat. Today has been the day from hell. But here I am laying next to the love of my life, calm as can be. He is my world, He is my center. I'm drawn to him whether I like it or not. He keeps me at peace. Zayn was like that for Jess. She lost her center and now her whole universe has collapsed. What Zayn did was very unsettling. He will hear me out, and I will give him a piece of my mind. I will not let anything go unsaid. If anything happens to that baby I will solely blame him for this destruction. Some how I know, that deep down inside. Zayn will come through. He will come to his senses. He has to.
