Addicted ~ Nate Jacobs

Chapter Thirty-Five

"You do know that Fezco purposely told Nate about the two of you, right?" Maddy asked as Sophie walked back into her room.

"Yeah and it was fucking stupid of him."

"Maybe to you, but he wants you to himself, can't you tell?"

"I mean, I guess. But, like, I don't like him that way."

"I know, Sophie. But, if Nate's not going to be in your life then-"

"Then what? I'm going to turn to a drug dealer to help me raise a baby that's not even his?"

"You know he would."

"I'd rather be with Nate, you know that."

"I know, but-"

"Maddy, quit it."

Cassie showed up at Sophie's house later in the week to talk with her about her abortion since she was finally ready.

"We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, Cass." Sophie said, placing a hand over her bump.

"No, I came over here because I wanted to talk to you." Cassie sat down on Sophie's bed and sighed, "It fucking sucked, I won't lie. But it was for the best."

"Does McKay know?"

"Yeah, but I don't want to talk about him." Cassie bit her lip, "Basically I went in and like, they ask you some questions before taking you in."

"Like your medical history?"

"Yeah, then once they take you in, they sedate you for the pain and they even gave me headphones to listen to music. Also, I was really lucky because I had a nurse who was by my side the entire time so that I wouldn't be alone."

"Oh, Cass-"

Cassie cut her off, "I also had this strange, yet incredibly beautiful hallucination where I was skating in this pretty turquoise dress."

"Do you think it meant something?"

"You know I love skating, so that's probably why."

"How do you feel now? How did you feel after?"

"After I was sad and in shock, but now, I feel good." Cassie bit her lip.

"It's okay to admit if you aren't alright, Cass."

Cassie smiled at her, "No, Soph. I feel better now. I really do. And now I'm just going to take time to focus on myself."

"Okay, Cass. I'm glad to hear that." Sophie said, giving her a hug, "Am I going to trigger you at all? You know, because of the baby?"

Cassie shook her head, "You are the least of my worries. Plus, I can just live my baby fever through you."

"Okay." Sophie said with a smile.

"So, are you going to go to Nate's party?"

"Oh my god. Probably not."

"How come? You have to go!"

"Are you?"

Cassie smiled, "Of course. I mean, I can't drink either, but we could find another way to enjoy ourselves."

"That's true."

"Plus, Maddy invited Fez!"

Sophie rolled her eyes, "Are you serious?"

"It's Maddy, of course she did."

"Great."

"You have to come."
