Waking up in Grayson arms I instantly felt the guilt and pain I was about to face. I have to tell Josh there way no way that I would be able to keep this away from him. I look over at my phone to see it's 8pm at night. I slowly remove myself from Grayson hold not wanting him to wake up grabbing my phone I head into my closet and dial Josh number.

"Hey Josh"
"Sorry I didn't contact you Isabella I just wanted to give you space and time to think."
Oh my goodness this is going to be harder then I thought.
"Josh I need to tell you something."
"Are you breaking up with me."
"No but you might."
Silence comes from the other side of the phone Josh not uttering a single word.
"Josh."
"I'm listening Isabella."
"I slept with Grayson."
Beep beep beep beep beep

Was all I heard as tears forms in my eyes I am such an idiot. I quickly text Josh.

ME: I know it sounds bad and I am really sorry for what happened. I am not going to play the blame game and tell you it was all in the heat of the moment which it was. But I fully understand if you want nothing to do with me.

I see 3 dots appear and disappear.

I walk into the room and sit down on the sofa while Grayson sleeps away. I grab hold of my belly "Why is your mommy such an idiot Bailey." She kicks making me giggle. My phone lights up.

Bebe: I don't blame you for doing what you did Isabella it hurts yes but people make mistakes and if you can see past mine and still be with me then I can see past yours nobody is perfect and you don't portray yourself to be. I forgive you will I forget no but I really like you and I want to make this work. Also have you thought about my offer yet."

ME: This is why I am falling for you. You so understanding and forgiving. You are truly amazing Josh and yes I thought about it you better make closet space cos I will be moving in soon 😊

Grayson wakes up sitting up against the beds headboard. "You should leave what happened earlier on was never suppose to happen and I am moving in with Josh." He runs his fingers through his hair and gets out the bed and starts getting dressed he says absolutely nothing and walks out.

I walk to my parents room and knock on the door. "Come inside." My parents both laying in bed my mom busy readying a book while my dad types away on his laptop. I sit at the foot of the bed as they both look at me. "I want to move in with Josh." "Never going to happen." I know my mother and I are about to have a huge fight. "I am almost 18 years you can't tell me what to do especially if I don't stay under the same roof as you." My mom was about to say something when my dad lays his hand gently on her shoulders.

"If you want to move out Izzy then be our guest as your parents we try and protect you throughout your life but I think now you old enough to make decisions on your own."

I walk out the room before my mom could say anything that was easy. I walk into my room and start packing my things. This is going to be so much fun.

3 Months Later

Josh and I have been living together for three months and it has been the best 3 months of my life. I am now 7 months pregnant and currently waiting for Josh at the airport he has been away for a month with the US Army to take pictures in Afghanistan. I see Josh and I immediately run up to him. "Babe oh my goodness I missed you." He hugs me and says "I missed you too." And continues walking there was something off about Josh he wasn't the energetic and happy go lucky guy I once knew.

I brush it off and we walk to the car. "So tell me how was the experience you must have captured some amazing pictures can't wait to see it." "Mmmm" was all he said as he continues staring out the window. We arrive home and Josh goes and sits on the sofa. "Josh are you okay." He looks at me then looks away. "Josh you can talk to me." "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE" he shouts making my heart race I stand there looking at him in complete shock. "I'm sorry Josh." I couldn't finish my sentence as he grabbed me by the throat I stare into his eyes looking at a monster in front on me.

I struggle to breathe as he hold around my neck tightens I could slowly feel myself slipping in and out of consciousness. I grab hold of his arm trying with my lost strength to push him away. He suddenly let's go and pushes my to the floor. I fall against the glass coffee table breaking it in the process blood now all around me. I look up at Josh with tears in my eyes as he stares back at me with a blank look I didn't want to move nor speak afraid he would get upset with me again how was I so stupid I should have believed Jolie. He walks away and out the house I hear car start as I slowly get up glass everywhere. My back aching in pain I slowly make my way toward the bathroom as I examine myself.

I slowly feel up my back towards where the pain was coming from and a giant glass was sticking out of my back. I call the only person I knew that would help me. "I will be there soon."

I make my way outside to wait for Hailey to arrive nobody knows Josh is back so I can just lie to them and say I fell. Hailey finally arrives and rushes over to me. "What the hell. Isabella are you okay what happened we need to get you to the hospital as soon as possible." She helps me in the car and drive to the nearest hospital which lucky for us was about a minute away.

*GRAYSON POV*

I was laying in bed with Madison when I my phone rang.
"Wassup Hails."
"Isabella fell she at the hospital. I think they going to perform surgery on her I don't know what to do Grayson I need you here please."
"I'm on my way."

"Mads get dress quick we need to go to the hospital." I grab some shorts and a shirt and head into Ethan room. "Isabella fell she is hurt bad you coming with." "What yeah I'm coming."

We all head to the hospital where a crying Hailey is waiting in the waiting room. "Where is she is she okay what happened." "She was busy cleaning and tripped over a cord and fell onto the glass coffee table she was covered in blood Grayson." I run my hands through my hair feeling so frustrated with Isabella. A doctor walks out "Are you family of the young lady that was admitted." I walk to the doctor "No we not but she is carry my unborn child so whatever you have to say you can tell me."

He looks at me for a brief second and then calls me out the room I turn to see the everybody looking at us through the window. "Is Isabella okay is my baby okay." "They are fine she just resting but do you know what happened to her." "Yes she fell on a glass table." "Sir she has finger marks around her neck as if somebody was strangling her, I don't think that the fall was a accident." My blood starts boiling as I punch the wall next to the doctor. Ethan rushes out "Gray what's wrong."

"He fucking laid his hands on her she is fucking pregnant if I see him I am going to kill him." "Calm down Grayson. Doc can we go see her." They doctor nods and I rush into the room where Isabella was asleep. I look at her neck all bruised and purple, "Wake up." I say as she slowly opens her eyes. "How can you allow him to fucking hit you are you insane." "Grayson what are you talking about." "You have hand marks on your fucking neck he could have killed you and my child." "It's our child and Josh isn't even here you idiot somebody tried to break in he was wearing a mask I couldn't see him."

"So why didn't you call the cops." "Maybe cos there was a giant glass sticking out of back and the only They I was worried about was my baby." "Look at me Isabella." She turns to looks at me. "If I find out you lying to me not only will I kill him but I will damn make sure you don't have custody of my kid."
