Chapter 38: It is him

Isabella's POV

When I step back into the house almost half of the crowd had died down leaving only my parents, my girls, the guys, Jessica and jax. The anxiety of having to explain all of what just happened between jax and carter to my parents is suffocating me and I have to be taking deep breaths while planning out each words as I approach the group of confused people ,who's intense gazes are completely focused on the pregnant girl walking towards them.

I quickly take notice of the few band aides that were placed across both of jax's check bones, upper left eyebrow and chin. The fresh bruises are still very visible and the guilt of being the cause of it almost knocks me over. No matter how angry I am at him for starting a fight with carter my chest still aces for him,and I can't help it. He was my best friend, even though he almost ruined whatever closeness we had left by trying to kiss me.

Awkward silence fills the atmosphere making it almost impossible to breath" Is..um..everything okay in here?" are the first few words that manage to leave my lips.

"Yeah" my mom answered with a half smile trying to somehow ease the thick tension. " I think me and your father are going to head off now. We had a great time sweetheart" she stood from the couch before pulling me into a tight hug."We will talk about all this tomorrow over the phone" she quickly whispered into my ear before pulling away from me.

I nodded to her. I felt absolutely relieved that she didn't press me to explain all of this to them right now. I'm already stressed with carter, jax and the growing miracle inside me and having to pull my parents into another one of my continuous cycle of problems is the last thing I want right now.

"I'll walk you guys to the door" I said as they followed behind me. As they walked through the door my father stopped..as did my heart.

He turned towards me after telling my mom to go ahead

His hazel eyes stare back at me as he smiles. It feels so amazing seeing them after so long, memories of him and I almost instantly wash back of me and the soft hearted man before me and I have to bight my cheek to keep the tears from pouring out.

"Would it be okay if I talk to you for a second?"

Oh no!

"Sure" I smiled"What do you want to talk about" I questioned already knowing the answer.

"About your boyfriend..Courtney is it?" He wonders off in thought. Laughter fills the atmosphere around us and the feeling felt so foreign yet amazing"Ahh..I'm just kidding " he laughs."So about Carter " he leads back to the topic " And the fight between him and the other one..jax" he said adding almost too much evident hate towards the poor guys name.

"I'm really sorry you had to witness that" I apologize almost immediately" Its just jax did something I didn't like and Carter was just only being -'

"Protective" he finishes for me"I know" he nods" I know he loves and is only trying to protect you, and I respect that. Its just the other one I don't like " he States the obvious.

I almost laugh at him. Of course he doesn't like jax.

"You don't need to worry, everything is already sorted out" I lie feeling my chest tighten. There's no way in hell everything's sorted out after the fight we just had. He's furious at me and I'm even anger than I intended to be when I walked out that back door. I was expecting him to at least try to control his damn temper like he always does around me but he didn't, and it scares me.

I'm so use to him being calm and understanding that I never once thought I'd see him so mad at me.

"Honey did you hear me?" My father's voice pulls me back to reality.
