His Property

Ch. 21

--
I feel like half of the time I don't know what to say. But this time I actually do not know what to say. My mind is in different places at the same time and I can feel the knots form in my stomach.

"Thats... really tough. I'm so sorry I'm not good at this." I told her rubbing her back. Her head was in between her hands and I can hear her sobs become less frequent.

"I know man. It just sucks. I never imagined something like this could happen. All this time I thought my father was dead and now it turns out he's not even my blood and my biological father is out somewhere. It's too much." She said calming herself down. I knew that telling her about May probably wasn't a good idea with everything on her plate but it could work as a distraction.

"Well now that we're here I think it's best if I get something out of my chest." I told her scooting a but further away from her just in case she would go all 'rampage' on me.

She looked up and my heart shattered into pieces when I saw the hurt in her eyes.

I looked down playing with my hands and went ahead and told her.

"I don't know if you have talked to May lately but she thinks she might be pregnant." I said still avoiding eye contact.

"Oh. She hasn't told you anything yet?" She asked. I looked up with a confused face.

"Tell me about?"

"She had a hookup with someone. Actually not just someone. A girl." She said.

I sat there on the bed. I swear more things were being added into my head and it was giving me the biggest headache ever.

"Are you serious? When? How come she didn't tell me?" I was hurt if I'm being honest. I didn't know anything about this.

"She went out with jack one night and got really drunk. I didn't really understand her but things got out of hand and she didn't know what she was doing. I'm guessing she was bound to tell you sooner or later."

Ignoring the rest I suggested we should go over to Mays house and go grab something. I was sure enough that with everything going on food was Alex's least of her worries but she needed it.

I walked out of the room to wait for her to get dressed. I took my phone out and stared at the screen.

I was hesitating in calling Elijah.

Jack had passed down his number when he came over.

I kept flying my thumb across the 'call' button. And when I finally pressed it i mentally cursed myself but it was too late. Within three ringtones he answered.

"Hello?" I said pacing around Alex's living room.

"Um yes?" He replied. A small laugh escaped my lips when he said that. Anyone could hear the confusion in his tone.

"I'm hurt. You told me to call you. Guess it was a mistake." I teased him about it waiting for his response.

"Oh no no no. It's just your number isn't registered and you sound very different love." I simply smiled and decided to sit down on one of the chairs near by.

"Are you home already?" He said.

"Actually no. I'm still at Alex's House. She is going to drive to Mays house in a bit and I'm going with her."

"Are you serious? I'm actually here with Damon and Jack. We were actually just talking about today and Damon thinks he knows something." I heard Alex's footsteps while she was coming down the stairs and that's when I knew we were about to leave.
