Eli
Sleeping at night sometimes was either heaven or hell. Tonight it was hell. I woke up and waddled downstairs to the kitchen. I grabbed my stash of sour rainbow belts and went to the couch to watch a movie. In the corner of my eye I see something light up. Normally I'm not very nosey but the damn phone kept lighting up. I grabbed it to turn it off but her name caught my eye. Analicia. 3 missed calls and 4 messages.
Analicia: sooo good seeing you in NY:)
Our baby misses you
I miss you more tho
I clutched the phone to my chest as I felt a wave of pain run through my body. He had gone to see her while he was in New York and her baby really was Nate's child. He had lied to me every time he told me there was nothing between them when he left for your the first time around. I put the phone down and grab my phone and dial someone's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey. I was wondering what you were up to?"
"I'm asleep. I have classes tomorrow." He groaned.
"Ezra I really need someone rn." I sigh and I hear shuffling on his side of the line.
"Meet me at Waffle House." He says and I tell him thank you before I go to the laundry room to try to piece together an outfit. I grab a crew neck sweater and some jeans. I get dressed quickly and make my way to Waffle House. It was a 10 minute walk for me and honestly I needed the air. Ezra and Marco graduated. Ezra is going to UCLA and Marco got into Stanford so neither was that far of a drive. As I shuffle into the restaurant I see Ezra sitting at the booth already. He and I have been on good terms for a while now. He apologized for everything claiming it was because Kendall was a demanding bitch which I totally agreed on.
"Hey JJ." Ezra smiled sipping his coffee.
"Hey E." I sigh sliding into the booth.
"So what's up?"
"I think Nate is cheating." I whisper causing Ezra to almost spit out his coffee.
"How do you know?"
"Well he kept getting texts last night from his ex saying stuff about their kid and how happy she was to have seen him in New York." I slouch into my seat.
"I thought it wasn't his kid."
"He told me it wasn't." I shake my head. Ezra grabs my hand.
"I think we're going to need a bigger booth." He grabbed my phone from the table and called a bunch of people to meet us here. I ordered a hot chocolate and some waffles while we waited for whoever he called. A few minutes later I see Lauren, Ayanah, Hailey, Shawn, Derek, Jack, Gilinsky, Hayes, Sammy and Marco all walk in running their eyes and still in pajamas.
"Why am I up at 2:45 in the morning?" Gilinsky groaned.
"Nate cheated." Ezra said and everyone's heads snap towards me. Gilinsky wraps his arms around me tightly and I grip onto his arm.
"I'm so sorry." He whispered in my ear while his hands trailed up and down my back.
"With who?" Derek yawned.
"Analicia." I mumble.
"Wait didn't he go out alone in New York?" Sammy turned to Derek who nodded. I placed my head in my hands as I felt the tears come down my cheeks as Gilinsky tried to shush me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turn to see Jack. Since he started some girl we've lost our close relationship because she didn't like us hanging out. He reaches down and I turn to give him a hug.
"We need to pry it out of him. There's no way in hell he's getting away with cheating on his pregnant fiancé. No fucking way." Shawn growls and Hailey puts her hand on his chest to calm him down. Gilinsky tucked a strand of hair behind my ear as I reached into my pocket to look at my phone.
3 missed calls from Nate💗
12 IMessages from Nate💗
I sigh as I put it away. I don't know how I could be as stupid as to believe him constantly telling me he loved me while he was probably with her and their baby. Maybe that's what he's been doing when he tells me he's going to the studio.
"Do you want to go home?" I shake my head.
"Not tonight at least."
"You could stay with us." Jack says and I look at both Jacks while nodding.
"Let's meet for breakfast at the Jacks' place and we can figure this out. Okay?" Derek says with his arm draped around Lauren. We all agree and head outside after I paid for Ezra and I's food. I hug everyone goodbye and proceed to my car. A tap on my window startles me and I turn to see Sammy while I place my hand to my chest.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"One for scaring you and two for the bet. I'm really glad you forgave me."
"Bet?"
"He didn't tell you?" I shake my head and he lets out a loud sigh, "Nate and I made a bet the first day we met you. It was stupid but it was basically to see which one you would get with first. I backed out because once I got to know you I realized you were too nice and important to lose over a bet."
"Nate didn't?" Sammy shrugged.
"First he said to forget about the money then he said the bet didn't matter to him anymore." I nod slowly, "And then Nash said you would pick him over anyone. Then you started your thing with Shawn and Carter and Taylor made a bet on whether or not you'd sleep with him. Nate told us he told you everything."
"Not a word."
"Oh well Nate was a part of the Shawn bet. He said you'd probably fall for his niceness and stuff but he called me after and said I had to break you two up."
"Why?"
"He said he hated seeing you with him. I told him I wasn't going to ruin your happiness and he got pissed and told me to fuck myself."
"Thank you for telling me this." I reach through the window to give him a hug before I drove to the Jacks' house.
"Where the hell have you been?" Gilinsky growls as he opened the door.
"Did you know about the bets?" I cross my arm across my chest.
"Bets?" Gilinsky gives me a puzzled mimicking my crossed arms.
"I did." I hear and the door opens wider revealing Jack.
