Jenalyn: A Splitting Personality (#2) [Complete]

Chapter 29: Hayden

Thursday 9:46 P.M. 

I can't believe that Ty is alseep in his bed- and it's not even 10'o'clock PM. 

I must've worn him out, my monster playfully thinks as I plant one last kiss on his lips. 

Three rounds isn't normal for us- especially in this time frame, and with Gage in his room right down the hall. 

Oh fuck... I'm gonna have to ask him for a ride home.

I'd have too much explaining to do if I had Harper come pick me up after I told her I was hanging out with Harlee's old friend Skylar. There's really no reason Sky should ever be at Tyler's- so that'd definitely blow my cover.

I quietly climb off Ty's bed, and grab my pants and my purse. I slide on my clothes as I slip out of his bedroom and make my way down to Gage's. 

I hope he's awake. 

Two knocks, and he opens his door. "Oh hey," he says as he widens his door expecting for me to come in. "What happened?"

I don't move from the doorway though, knowing all to well from past pattern that despite what I've got going on with Ty- Gage and I have some... odd chemistry too. 

"Uhm- nothing." I clear my throat and shift my weight to the opposite leg. "I was actually just wondering if you could take me home? Ty's asleep..."

Gage chuckles under his breath, and plops down onto his bed with a sigh. "I bet." he says with a snark I know I'm supposed to catch onto. 

So he did hear us...

Without another word, he stands back up to retrieve his keys from the dresser beside me. "C'mon." he says as he shoves past me and out his bedroom door.

I know I shouldn't feel guilty for basically choosing his brother over him- I can't help who I fall for! It's not even like I don't like Gage- because I do! I just can't have both of them, so the choice had to be made! 

"Can you stop being so mean to me?" I find myself calling out down the hall, despite my efforts to stay quiet to make sure Ty doesn't wake up. 

I don't mean to snap the way I do, but I immediately see Gage grow frustrated as he turns around and strides back to me with a quickness. 

"Why are you fucking with him?!" He half whispers, half yells as she shoves me the rest of the way into his bedroom and shuts the door. "Shit! I know he's not better looking than me! And as far as personalities go? I've got him beat! I at least treat my women with respect!"

I've never really seen Gage so upset with me before. I can feel all of my emotions immediately build up and threaten to spill out.

"I know..." I mutter, a familiar feeling washing over me as my tail retreats between my legs. As deep into Hayden's life as I've submerged myself, the fears Dane had beat into Jenalyn manages to seep in. I don't handle people yelling at me like this well... "I know! I didn't-"

Gage cuts me off before I can finish a sentence I hadn't even really planned out in my head. "You don't know a thing, okay?!" He snaps. "I've had feelings for you since I met you! I check up on you when you're away, and I don't even flip my shit that you tease tease tease and never deliver! Tyler has called Lisa over right after you've left before! And you choose him?!"

I don't know how to respond. I don't even know how to react to everything Gage has just yelled in my face like a pansy version of Dane. 

I've known Gage has had feelings for me for a while now.. and like I said, I honestly like him too! I don't intentionally tease him though, and lead him on to believe there would be anything between us! He's known I was Tyler's fangirl from the jump! 

"I don't care about Lisa..." I find myself muttering. They're the only words I can bring to come out of my mouth, and they're a lie.

It hurts, but it's not like I don't expect it. Like I said- I have kind of gotten used to the fact that Tyler and I couldn't really be anything more than friends who fuck around.

Well, until tonight happened...

"You don't care?" Gage snaps in disgust, "You don't fucking care?!"

He spends a few moments brushing his hair from his face and repositioning himself in a way that seems less threatening than his previous stance.

"So what's he doing for you that I couldn't?" He asks after a moment, crossing his arms over his chest and furrowing his brows. "I'm not a fucking pervert, Jen- but I know our dicks are the same fucking size! Is it just that you like to be disrespected? Because I'll disrespect you, if you want!"

He reaches for me in an instance, and immediately presses my body against his dresser to begin roughly feeling me up. I don't do much to fight it, but I turn my head away when he tries to force his lips onto mine. 

"You can't even kiss me now?" He practically growls after a moment, still groping my body as his lifts me up onto the dresser.

I can feel my mental starting to slip- Gage's actions all too familiar to me not to take protective measures as I would any other time. I can't slip away though- a burst of words sitting at the back of my mouth like vomit threaten to escape as his shoves me back against the wall harder and harder. 

"I don't fucking understand, Jen!" He begins again after a moment, "I don't fucking get-"

The words escape my lips, cutting him off mid sentence and freezing him in his tracks the instant they do. "I'm pregnant with his baby, Gage!" my weak voice escapes, taking with it the last bit of conciousness my body could hold onto.
