Because of John (Teen pregnancy)

Because of John |chapter 12|

"what? whats going on here?" terry asked
"this is the man who left me. who abused my mom and my brothers. you're one sick son of a bitch."
"blake, i-im sorry, hurting you or your mother or evan or Riley was never my plan."
"what are you talking about? i knew you had a nasty divorce but this?"
"I've changed since then" he said
"Nasty divorce? Nasty divorce? thats what you told her? that it was a nasty divorce? no, the only thing nasty about it was the actions from you. you don't deserve this woman. she's so sweet and you, you're just an ass. do you know what this man used to do to me? he used to hide drugs in my clothes and put alcohol in my bottle. he would hit my mom repeatedly until she blacked out and starve Evan & Riley." terry gasped
"what a monster. how could you?" she cried. Rick didn't respond, he just stood there in silence. maybe he had changed, but there was still no excuse for his past actions.

"I've got to go. i can't stress myself out like this, its not healthy for my baby."
"good luck sweetie, happy holidays." terry said hugging me
"happy holidays to you too" i smiled and took off to find john, grabbing my purse and stashing the buggy.

"hey babe, whats wrong you look funny?"
"can we just go?"
"uh yeah, sure, but can you please tell me what's wrong?"
"ill explain when we get to the car lets just go now." i said rushing him. i wanted to get out of there as quickly as i could and as far away from Rick as possible.

When we got in the car, i felt tears silently falling from my eyes.
"baby what's going on?!"
"i just met my dad for the first time in my life. he seemed so happy. its not fair. why does he get a 2nd chance at a family with no connection to us at all but yet we're the ones left with the painful memories and scars? its not fair."
"i don't know, this world is a messed up place, just keep your beautiful head up and keep smiling. he can't hurt you now. i won't let him." john said giving my hand a reassuring squeeze.
"i love you." i said
"i love you more, blake."

once we got home and got our few bags out of johns truck, i immediately found mom to tell her about my day and seeing Rick. she was just as baffled as i was. i went to my room and hid the gifts i had bought today and washed my face. i walked to Rileys room to talk to him but he wasn't there.

"hey mom, where's riley at?"
"he went to evans to babysit val so evan could take charlie on a date."
i laughed to myself
"riley babysit? yeah okay"

i laid down on my bed and decided to call skylar. ever since she moved out we haven't really talked as much and i miss my best friend.

"hey sky! whats up!?"
"hey blake." she replied flatly
"what's wrong?"
"nothing, why are you calling me?"
"i thought we were friends..?" i said
"were" she scoffed
"oh, my bad, i didn't know we stopped being friends."
"ever since i stopped hanging out with you and kendall got pregnant, ive been the most popular person at school. im not gonna give that up for some pregnant bitch"
"right, okay. well since you're too busy whoring around, your best friend is gonna go. good bye skylar." i said and simply hung the phone up. i felt my heart break inside my chest. i just lost my best friend in the whole world. she even called me a pregnant bitch. tears ran silently down my cheeks as i stared at the carpet. i heard my bedroom door open and looked up as rileys eyes met mine.

"heyy-oooh whats wrong baby sis?"
"you mean pregnant bitch?"
"huh? no! what? Blake Allen, you listen to me right now you are not a pregnant bitch at all! who called you that? was it john? i swear to god he is about to meet jesus himself. he hurt you for his last fucking time." he raged
"what? no riley stop it wasn't john."
"he better be glad but the son of a bitch that did say it better watch out."
"it was Skylar."
"skylar as in your hot cheerleader best friend skylar?"
"yeah that one." i said sarcastically
"why would she say something like that?" he asked and i explained to him the phone call i had just had with her.
"please let me go hit her."
"no riley, its not going to solve anything. its fine."
"you sure?"
"positive, how'd babysitting go?"
"great! V is such a good kid."
"well good, im glad you're being a great uncle."
"yeah, you should be resting its almost 9:30 which is passed bedtime for all pregnant 16 year olds." he laughed
"yeah yeah" i laughed
"goonight riles"
"goodnight blakey poo" he said making kissing noises to aggravate me

i laid down and sent john a goodnight then stared at the ceiling rubbung my growing belly.

"i love you so much little squirt" i say and drift into a peaceful sleep.
