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

Chapter 68: Hayden

Sunday, 1:22 P.M.

I managed to drift through a conversation with Harper that was about as close to the truth regarding what happened with Frank as I could.

She doesn't think I'm crazy... but she definitely said I need to get help for her personal diagnosis of 'Multiple Personality Disorder.'

She even went as far as to note that 'I must be having a personality switch right now, because I haven't been the same since she told me about Tyler.'

"You're not going to say anything to anyone about it, right?" I question just as we're summing up the conversation the best we can.

Harper is still on the fence. She said that if what had happened earlier was a demonstration of what these personality switches can do to me- that maybe she should say something to Mama G.

"She isn't going to disown you, Hayden!" she told me as I explained to her that someone inside of me wants to ruin everything I've built as Hayden. "All we ever want to do is help you! Abandoning you is definitely not the way to do it!"

Harper sighs defeatedly, leaning against my bedroom door with her arms crossed over her chest defensively. "What if something bad were to happen because of it?" she asks. "Do you know how bad I'd feel knowing I could've stopped it?"

I lower myself onto my bed, my demeanor overall drained, and honestly a little defeated myself.

"If anything were to get that bad, go ahead and say something." I offer, expecting only a worried face and shoulder shrug as a response.

I get a sigh, too, and a stern look before Harper's voice suddenly goes soft.

"And you swear you won't keep anything a secret from me?" she asks weakly, almost as if she doesn't expect me to agree to it. She quickly continues, her voice strengthening as it becomes a little defensive. "-I promise as long as nothing is too bad that I can't handle it, I'll never say anything! It'll be our secret, and I'll do everything I can to help, but... I'm your big sister now, Hayden- not someone who's out to get you."

It's almost my nature to lie. To tell her that I'd share all of my secrets with her- all the while keeping my secrets to myself like I always have.

Maybe Hayden deserves someone who's on her side though, you know? Maybe instead of brushing off the blessing that Harper could be- I should utilize her to help me get through some of the hard times I'm sure Jena is going to bring upon Hayden's life.

"I swear I won't keep anything a secret from you," I say after a moment, my voice assuring as I suddenly grow hopeful for Hayden.

Harper smiles immediately, though the ghost of her stress is still sure to show. She nods her head once before letting me know she'd be in her room if I need her, and closes my bedroom door.

I throw myself onto my bed as soon as I hear her door click shut, grabbing my phone from the nightstand and unlocking it.

I haven't been on my phone since before Jena and Frank's little dance in the library earlier. Tyler must've texted everyone about the news just as I'd put my phone down, and let Jena jump Frank's bones.

Figures.

I pull up my messages and ignore all of the other notification, heading straight to his thread.

Tyler: Sophie went into
labor, I met her at
Cedars a little while
ago- just waiting on the
baby now!
Tyler: I'm sorry I didn't
tell you I'd be here for
the birth... it's been on the
fence honestly. I decided
last minute that baby
shouldn't suffer over
my stupidity
Tyler: [Multimedia]
Meet your soon-to-be
daughter in law, Lily Kate-
7 lbs, 6 oz! She obviously
took after daddy's good
looks 😎 And already
promised to be the best big
sister to baby Robson-Gold 😍
Tyler: Baby? I'm sorry I
couldn't go look at the
house with you- I sent
Harper a while ago.. are
you just ignoring me, or
did something happen...?

I stare at the picture he'd sent of a wrinkly-faced newborn with a small pit in my stomach.

Wow... the baby really does look like him. I usually can't even tell which parent a baby looks like this soon- so that's saying something.

I wonder if he'll be disappointed when my baby comes out looking nothing like him...

I wonder if he'll always favor Sophie's baby because she does look like him. Maybe he'll just leave me and the baby all together because he's got the family he's wanted now...

I was stupid to bring Tyler into this the way I did...when I did.

He was already with someone. Already had them pregnant, and ready to settle down with him to start a life...

I lied!

I practically stole him from them, telling him we were going to have a family when in all reality... this is always going to be based off of a lie!

I begin to type, trying hard not to feel the jealousy and bitterness that starts to form in my chest. I realize how stupid it was for me to try to start a family with a man who was already in the process of having his own now- and it kills me.

Hayden: Congrats, she's
beautiful.
Hayden: I'm not ignoring
you, I just didn't expect you
to be on your phone while
you're with the new fam.

For a few seconds, my messages remain unread. Before long though, Tyler reads it and immediately starts typing out a response.

Tyler: lol I promise,
Lily could care
less about the phone
in my hand. She's quite
a bit more occupied
with Sophie's tit right
now- I'm chopped
liver till I grow a
working pair myself!

Is it weird that I get upset knowing he's just sitting around in a room while Sophie whips her tit out? Even if just for the baby?

I mean- Tyler has fucked her before, obviously. He liked her enough to cum inside of her while fucking her, so she's definitely got to be doing something for him! Why shouldn't I be upset?

I go to start typing a text just telling Tyler I'd talk to him later because I honestly am just... not in the mood to deal with any of this- but he's quick to send a message before I even have a chance to send mine.

Tyler: Come visit her?
Tyler: Call me silly, but
I'd love to see my
woman holding a
newborn... give me a
sneak peek for the
excitement we have
ahead of us? 😉😍

I erase my message, working hard to keep the smile from forming on my face solely because I'm just too stubborn right now not to hold onto the jealousy still settling over me.

Hayden: I don't think the
baby mama would like
that much.

Tyler: 😂😂😂
Tyler: Well if she wants
her daughter to have a
father, she'd better get
used to it, huh? 😉
