I was about to walk over to Samantha,but she was with Jae. I've never seen her so happy--so beautiful. Sometimes it feels like she has a thing for him or something, but I don't know what to believe.I heard her laughing at something he said. What could be so funny, I thought. At that exact moment I knew I was jealous but I'd never admit it.

"Oh hey,Josh, " She said looking over in my direction like I hadn't been standing there for the past 5 minutes.

" Hey, you guys. I didn't see you there, " I lied, "Um, Samantha don't you have a class to attend."

"Yeah, actually," she said as she checked the time, "Bye,guys!"

"We need to talk."

"About what, brother?"

"Keep your voice down before someone hears you." I said motioning my hands up and down, "Just follow me."

We rode miles before we actually got to talk,and the car ride there was absolutely silent. But when we got there,we got right to the point.

"Now are you going to tell me what you want, brother?" Jae said with the most serious expression I've ever seen.

"Don't call me that!"

"Still ashamed of your Korean heritage I see."

"It's not that."

"Then,what is it!? Are you ashamed of me!"

"No,of course not! I'm ashamed of her!"

"Mother?"

"Yes"

After that conversation we got to the real point I was trying to make. I told him what I've witnessed in the past couple of months,and he listened and made a few interesting points. He even made a particular comment about Samantha that caught my eye, and as I was about to ask about it she called me--Not Samantha but my ex girlfriend.

Hesitate to pick up I closed my eyes and answered as calmly as possible, "What do you want,Alex?"

"Can't an ex girlfriend call her ex boyfriend just to see what he's up to?" She said giggling.

"That depends on what you want."

"Fine...then, I'll get straight to the point... I'm pregnant," She giggled but nervously this time and more in a sobbing manner, "And it might be yours."

"You're... pregnant?"

"Yes"

"And it might be mine?" I said trying to fully comprehend everything she just told me.

"That's what I just said."

"Let's meet up...I...I have to see you." 
I sobbed.

"Ok. Let's do it."

"So who was it?" Jae asked.

"I'm going to be a father!" I happily cried getting into the car.

"It was her,wasn't it?"

"What was I suppose to do?"

"Why are you still dealing with her?"

"She's pregnant--And I use to love her."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to do what any real man would do...I'm going to take care of my baby..."

"What about Sam?"

"What about her? I'll always be there for Sam,but my baby comes first."

"What about what Alex did to you? What about how she hurt you? Can you ever forgive her for that?"

"Probably not--But what am I suppose to do? The baby's likely mine."

"But isn't she the same girl who faked a pregnancy to keep you in a relationship?"

"But what if it's real? What if everything she said is true? I can't let the baby,mine or not, grow up without a father."

You're right, this is your decision to make. I'm just trying to make sure you won't get hurt again,bro."

20 minutes passed and we had just made it back to the dorms. I dropped Jae off,but I still needed some time to clear my head--so I rode until I couldn't ride anymore. I got out of the car to feel reality hit me like a punch to the face.

All Jae's words finally made since. What about Sam? What if Alex is lying about the pregnancy? When this is all over what will I do?  I thought. "I need to really think about this." I thought out loud.
