I quickly change into a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt while fixing my makeup for the big night. After slipping into my black converse and tying my hair up into a neat ponytail, I am all ready for the first football game. It's all anyone is talking about on campus and the turnout is already insane. Jordyn enters our room as I am getting my purse ready. I turn to her with a smile.

"Hey, you going to the game tonight?"

"No," she shakes her head, "I'm leaving campus for the evening."

"Oh, where are you going?" I raise an eyebrow.

"It's my fathers birthday, I'm spending the night home and then coming back in the morning." She explains.

I nod slowly as I hang my purse over my shoulder. "Well, have fun. I probably won't be back till later tonight anyway." I inform her.

She nods slowly as she takes out a fancy dress from her side of the closet. "You too." She adds with a small smile. Things with Jordyn have been better lately. We've been talking a lot more and slowly getting to know each other. It's actually been really nice.

With that, I exit my room and head over to the football field. I can already feel the butterflies forming in my stomach with excitement. This night is all Ethan's been talking about, if they don't win he'll be crushed.

Halfway to the field, the sound of muffled yelling catches my attention. I suddenly hear loud voices coming from behind one of the buildings. I peek my head around the corner and see Grayson standing in front of three angry men.

They look completely pissed off as they violently yell at him. Something about weed, money and God knows what else. One of the guys steps even closer to Grayson, practically spitting in his face.

These are probably the same guys who hurt him last time. I don't know what came over me, but I find my feet moving in their direction. I rush over to Grayson and call out to him.

"Grayson." I sweetly say as all four of them turn to look at me. "Is everything okay?"

He's surprised for a moment, but he catches on. "Yes, everything is fine." He eyes me.

"We're going to be late for the game." I place my hand on his muscular shoulder and turn to the men he is arguing with. "Is there a problem?"

"Let me guess, new bitch?" One of them laughs.

"Girlfriend, actually." I shock us both as I forcefully grab onto his hand. He stares down at our connected fingers while I try to rub off my obvious shocked expression.

"Well, your boyfriend here is about to get his ass beat." One of the men says to me as he goes to lunge at Grayson. I quickly step closer before his fist can collide with his face.

"Please don't. I'm pregnant." I let out a deep breath as my voice shakes.

Grayson turns to look at me with wide eyes. "You're what?" He plays along.

"Oh shit, G man is gonna be a dad." The third man says from the back.

"Well, this wasn't how I wanted to tell you." I look back at the man who was about to hit him.

"Please, leave my boyfriend alone. We're dealing with a lot right now and I'm sure whatever problem you have with him can be pushed aside for our babies sake."

They don't know what to say, I left all three of them speechless. Well, four including Grayson. They just nod slowly and back up from us. I quickly drag him away from them and turn the corner, walking closer to the field now. Once we are far away, Grayson aggressively pulls his hand away from mine.
