Addicted ~ Nate Jacobs

Chapter Twenty-Eight

"Can we talk?" Cassie asked Sophie as she was putting her binder away.

"Yeah, what's up Cass?" Sophie asked, giving her a confused look.

"Not here."

"Okay? Then where?"

"Lexi and I will meet you at your car in 10 minutes."

"Okay." Sophie replied, grabbing her bag out of her locker.

Sophie hadn't talked to Lexi for a week, so this was going to go great. Sophie closed her locker and walked through the halls, eventually ending up at Nate's locker.

"Hey babe." he said, kissing her cheek, "You going home?"

"Um, yeah. I was going to stay and watch your practice again today, but Cassie wants to talk to me."

Nate nodded, "That's okay. Just text me later."

"Okay." Sophie smiled at him and he smiled back.

She leaned in and gave him a quick kiss before rushing off to the parking lot. Sophie had heard that Fezco's place got raided and she knew Nate was to blame, but she never mentioned that to anyone, of course. She would never sell him out, like ever. Sophie spotted Lexi and Cassie already at her car and she took a deep breath in as she unlocked it, letting them hop in.

"So, what's up?" Sophie asked as soon as they got in the car.

"Okay, promise on your life that you won't tell a single soul, not even Nate." Cassie said, biting her lip.

"I promise." Sophie replied and Cassie turned to Lexi, who was in the backseat.

"Lex?"

"I promise, Cass."

"Guys, I'm pregnant."

Sophie's eyes widened, "What?"

"Are you serious?" Lexi replied and Cassie but her lip again and nodded as tears began to form in her eyes.

"Oh no. Cass, it's okay." Sophie leaned over and embraced her in a hug as she began to sob.

"Does McKay know?" Lexi asked, hesitantly.

"Yeah, he wants me to get rid of it."

"Nate said that when I first told him and-"

"No. You don't understand. Like, he didn't care at all. At least with Nate he actually cared about it."

"Yeah, barely." Lexi replied, making Sophie shoot her a quick glare.

"But Cass, it's up to you. What do you want?" Sophie asked and Cassie smiled a bit.

"I wanted to keep it." Cassie's smile slowly faded, "But if McKay's not in, then neither am I."

"Cassie, what McKay thinks doesn't matter." Lexi said.

"Yes, it does. He's the father of my baby."

Sophie looked away and started her car, driving off as Lexi and Cassie continued to argue back and forth.

"You really don't need to get an abortion just because McKay said to! Sophie, can you please tell her?" Lexi asked with a sigh.

"It's not up to me to tell you what to do. It's not up to anyone, except Cassie." Sophie glanced over at her, "You have to do what you want and what you think will be best for you."

"But I don't want to do this if McKay's not in it. So I guess I'll just get an abortion-"

"Cassie! What the fuck? Just because McKay doesn't want to be a part of this whole thing doesn't mean that you can't do it alone!" Lexi yelled at her from the back seat, making Sophie widen her eyes.
