~Chapter Eight~                    

<Chris Brady> Still from the last few months of torture,
I walked to my room and heard a knock on my door. I didn't take my head up as I sat on the bed whimpering. My mom's scent filled the room when she got close to me.

"Son," she called and I was still looking down. "Chris look at me." I shook my head. She bent down and held my hands which were clenched together. "Go and talk to her. You both did this together..."

"Mellisa... she..." a huge lump was forming in my throat.

Her pregnancy talk wasn't bothering me. What I was worried about was Thora. What was she going to think about me now? She'll start thinking I didn't change. Will she even think I really loved her? I just bruised the trust she had for me. I tried so hard to get us to where we are now.

Why does Lana have to come in like a tsunami and wash it all away. "She did it all on her own. I really didn't do anything with her mom. She put something in the drink she offered me that night and..." a tear fell from my eyes and my mom wiped it away.

"I know you're worried about Violet. Whether Lana did this on her own or not, that baby is still yours. Talk to her about it. Take responsibility for it and figure out your next move. Your dad is calming her down so go and talk to her."

"But I've to leave mom. I promised her."

"Fix this first. Don't be a coward." she smiled at me and patted on my back. She sat next to me on the bed and sighed. "I don't like her too but your dad has become fond of her. Let's not get on his bad side anymore Chris. Right now, she needs your support. Violet can wait." she said and I looked at her. "I'm praying that baby isn't yours." she laughed. "This is what we're going to do." she started to speak under a low tone.

"Give her your support for those nine months, we'll have a DNA test after she gives birth and if it really proves that baby is yours, we'll give her all the support she needs."

"What if it isn't mine?"

"I'll kick her out like a fly." she laughed.

"I can't keep lying to Thora mom. I don't know what to say to her when she calls. I feel so guilty."

"I know son. Just hold on to her. Do anything you can because when she finds out, she isn't going to stay. If she trusts you, she'll believe you when you tell her what really happened." she smiled.

If she trusts me, she'll believe me. She didn't even give me the chance to explain myself. It hurts that she didn't even give me the chance to do so. Should I blame her? I knew the trust she had for me was shaky but I really didn't expect her to go that far.

Not even a day went by and she started seeing someone else. Thora is always telling me not to come close to her and it fucks me up. I knew she was hurt seeing Lana but she should've given me a chance. That's all I needed.

I didn't expect much from her. It was alright to get mad. It was alright to ask me not to get closer to her. Right now, I want all the trust she ever had for me back. I really need it right now.

I'm going through hell seeing Lana's face in the house every time. All I want right now is for her to be close to me, to tell me everything is going to be okay. Can't she just give me a second to let her know what's going on?

I've always been bad to her and I'm not even bad. I just love her badly.

I swear to God, when the DNA proves the baby inside Lana's womb isn't mine, I might really kill her for the torture she put me through for nine months. I guess I've to keep trying with Thora. She might give me a chance to explain what happened.
