The Making Of A Legend (Leaked Sequel/RDJ FanFic)

Part 26

I drove my car around the city for a long time, not knowing where to go or who to talk to. I can't call my family and tell them I'm expecting a baby with the man that's cheating on me. They will be freaked out. I can't go to Robert, I'm not ready to face him. I need someone to talk to. Someone that won't judge me. I could go to Christie's but I feel like she won't get what I'm going through. Eventually I was at a quiet park, sitting on a bench, trying to figure out my next move. Why did my life get so complicated? Maybe the best choice is to talk to Robert. Figure out what we're going to do. I take my phone in my hands and see another pile of texts and calls from him. I make a move to call him but I don't have the strength. Instead I sigh and look at the sky, hoping to relax. My phone buzzes again but it's not Robert. Actually, it's Gwyneth. So instead of declining the call as I intended I accept it.

"Hey, Gwyneth"

"Allyson, I'm so glad you replied. Is everything okay?"

"What do you mean?" I ask not knowing if she's asking about me and Robert or about something else.

"Robert didn't show up on set today and I've called him so many times but he isn't answering" she says and my heart skips a bit.

What if something happened to him? My bad thoughts leave my head when I realise he's been texting and calling me regularly.

"I don't know, actually. I haven't seen him since yesterday night" I sigh.

"What? Why? Where is he?" she's worried.

"He's probably at home. We had a bad fight and I left the house for the night"

"Oh my God, is it serious?"

"I think so, yes" tears form in my eyes all over again and I wipe them.
"Can I come by your house later? I really need to talk to someone"

"Of course you can. But someone needs to check on Robert. Will you do it or do you want me to?"

"If it's not a problem I would rather not see him at the moment" I say and hate myself for saying that.

"Okay, I'll do it. I'll text you when I get back home so you can come"

"Thank you. Please don't tell him about this" I know I'm asking a lot from her since they're best friends but I have no one else that I can easily talk to about this.

"Fine" she sighs.

I stayed at the park for a while, I enjoyed the peace and silence. I could think clearly, without any interruptions. My agent called me and told me she was worried sick. Apperently Robert told Jimmy everything and he told my agent. I had to reassure her I am fine but I didn't tell her anything about the pregnancy. I convinced her I could take care of myself until I am ready to face Robert again and she just told me to not disappear like that again.

I went back to Christie's house and waited there for Gwyneth to text me. I was dying inside. Is Robert okay? A part of me wants to rush over there and see what's going on but the other part knows that if I face him I'll have to tell him about the pregnancy. So I stayed there checking my phone again and again for any sign from Gwyneth. And when it finally came my heart was ready to explode. I was too afraid to read the text but I did. She just told me to come by her house so I left immediately. The traffic didn't make it easy to go there quickly but eventually I arrived and she welcomed me in.

"You look like you need to rest" she says when she sees me.

"That's because I do" I say and follow her to her living room.

"How is he?" I ask hesitating and worrying a lot about him.

"He's been better. Listen, he told me what happened" she says and I look away quickly, feeling the tears forming all over again.

"Then you know why I didn't go over there instead of you" I sigh and wipe the tears.

"Allyson, he's very worried. He just wants to know you're safe and talk to you" I can hear it in her voice that she's very worried about him as well.

"I can't" I say and start crying.

She hugs me to comfort me and gives me time to let out my tears.

"He's not a cheater, Allyson. I know him well, he loves you"

"I know him, too. And he was never hiding things before. Even when he was doing drugs he told me. But with her, it's something else. They spend so much time together, they go out secretly and now the photos. I mean, what else can it be?" I say frustrated.

"You're right, it is suspicious. But you have to talk to him. He's very fragile at the moment. He was drunk in the middle of the day" I hide my face in my hands when I hear that.

I can't stand thinking about him being like that. Who knows? He might do anything stupid.

"Is he alone?" I ask worried.

"Jimmy's taking care of him" she says caressing my back softly.
"But I'm sure he'd immediately feel better if he saw you" she continues.

"I can't" I whisper.

"You don't have to forgive him yet, just talk to him. He's a mess. He doesn't know where you are and I felt so bad for not telling him you'd meet me"

"It's not that I have to forgive him that's holding me back"

"Then what is it?" she seems confused.

"If I see him I have to tell him" I can't even say the whole sentence. I haven't told anyone I'm pregnant yet.

"Tell him what?" she asks and I look at her for a few seconds.

"I'm pregnant" I say with a new wave of emotions coming. Actually telling someone made me feel better.

"He doesn't know?"

"I just found out" I say in between crying.

"Oh God" she sighs and hugs me tighter.

We stayed like this for a few minutes. She didn't know what to say and I can't blame her.

"What if he's actually cheating on me? I can't be with him"

"That's why you have to talk. You need to know for sure"

"I'll talk to him. I just need some time"

"Promise me you'll call him, or at least text him that you're okay. It will make him feel so much better" I know she's right, I can't let him destroy himself.

"Can I stay here until I'm ready to face him?" I ask, knowing it's a lot.

"Allyson, I don't think that'll make any good"

"Please, I can't go back home yet" my body is shaking just with the thought of that.

"Okay, but only for a day or I'm telling Robert. You know he's going to hate me for that, right?"

"Hell get over it quickly, I'll take the blame. But please don't tell him anything. I'll talk to him when I'm ready"

"Fine, but you have to contact him now. I mean now, he's dying for a sign of you" I hug her and immediately take my phone out replying to his texts.

I told him I'll talk to him when I'm ready and that he shouldn't worry about my safety. He texted back almost immediately asking for more information and begging me to go back home but I didn't reply.

"Thank you" I say looking at Gwyneth.

"You're welcome. Go take a hot bath to relax and you can borrow my clothes" I smile and do as she says.
