Stay With Me

chapter eight

Jack

This is insane. What do I say to Tiana? Am I just supposed to be like 'hey babe how was your day? By the way I cheated on you 2 weeks ago and now Eva's pregnant' I don't know man.

I keep telling myself Eva is in the past but whenever I'm even around her, it just takes me back. I've been holding on to the memory of us because us was so amazing.

I never thought in a million years I'd ever be able too feel something so magical.

But it keeps replaying in my head when she walked out. She left me, not the other way around. I had every intention to go in there that day and make up with her.

She would always make me so nervous, I remember having to smoke just to calm my nerves. Eva has been my best friend for a very long time, I just can't believe she's pregnant and it's because of me.

I feel really bad, I haven't really spoken much to her all day yesterday when she told me and all of today. I didn't even make it clear that I was going to be with her through this pregnancy and that I'm honestly kind of happy she's having my baby.

I just really need to talk to Tiana.

I pulled out my phone and clicked her name and pressed the phone to my ear.

*convo*
T- hi baby
J- hi babe, are you busy right now?
T- just finished working out, what's up? Do you want me to come over?
J- uh no I'll come to your house, you heading there now?
T- yes
J- okay I'll meet you there
T- okay bye love you
J- love you.
*end of convo*

I slipped my phone into my pocket and stepped into my Gucci slides and made my way outside.

I passed the living room and saw Eva asleep on the couch, she had a blanket wrapped around her feet, I walk over to her and lifted the blanket up to cover her whole body.

I leaned down and pressed a small kiss to her forehead, then made my way outside and into my Jeep.

I pulled up to Tianas house and parked in the garage. I walk into the house and the beep goes off signaling a door was opened.

I walk into the kitchen and see her parents, "hi Tony, Hi Jenny" I smile, they return the smile and a wave. Tony says, "hey jack, Tianas out back right now"

I nod a thank you and make my way outside of their house, I see my beautiful girlfriend lounging by the pool.

She sees me and perks up, "hi jack" she arches her neck and kisses me, I then take a seat next to her.

We both relax in the pool chairs and just enjoy the California sun.

"So what's up babe?" She asks.

This is it. This is the moment I could potentially lose her.

"Okay, I need to tell you something but please be open minded, and just know that I am so sorry."

A scared and confused look washed over her face and my heart race began to quicken.

"Eva is pregnant."

Fuck, I just spit out the biggest part, I didn't even mean to just jump into like that, damnit.

Her mouth drops open, "what a whore" she rolls her eyes, I immediately become defensive, "Hey woah, she's not a whore."

Tiana looks shocked at my protection over Eva, I can tell she's starting to get uncomfortable and mad.

I sit all the way up and let out a breath, "she's pregnant with my child."

Tianas face goes completely blank. This isn't a good sign but I can't blame her, I would be about mad as hell if she told me she's pregnant with another guys baby.

"What the fuck?" She says. "It happened when we went to New York, we were really fucking drunk like I don't even remember it happening."

She quickly says, "then maybe it didn't- you don't know if that baby is really yours! Jack- she obviously still is in love with you, she could be trapping you in."

"No. Eva wouldn't do that to me." I shook my head.

"Jack. You lied to me, when you called me the next morning you fucking said you ended up at a hotel, was she there with you!?"

"No. We went back to her house. Tiana, baby I am so sorry. Please just don't leave me, I want this with you, I want us, I don't want Eva okay? I want you."

She looks away, without looking back at me she says, "I need time to think, but all I know is that I don't think that baby is yours even if there is a baby, she's crazy, I wouldn't put faking a pregnancy too keep you around past her."

Eva wouldn't do that. Right?
