Rival Lovers (Completed)

Chapter 9

"Wren, get up. We have to leave. I need to go to Meredith's house. It's an emergency." I told him. I got it from the couch hastily and grab my jacket and slipped it on.

"I don't understand, just a few minutes ago, you were telling me that she wouldn't speak to you. Now you're going over to her house? Do you think somethings wrong with her?"

"When she was texting me, she said that she was pregnant. And that it was her ex-boyfriend's baby. The same boyfriend, that I slept with. I need to talk to her, she's my best friend, and I need to comfort her. We need to put everything behind us, and talk."

"Do you want me to drive you? I know you don't have your car here with you, would it be easier if I did?"

"Yes,I told her you might be coming. If you want to."

"As much as I would love to hear the drama that's going on, I won't be able to. I'm going on a date tonight. Her names Arizona. I met her on tinder! I have a date with her in an hour or two. Please don't hate me. And I think it would be a good time for you and your friend to just talk. Alone. "

I know I did. He was right. Me and her need to talk alone. It was important. Both of us were going through some pretty rough stuff at the moment. And we need to help each other. I ruined her relationship, and I ruined our friendship. I think it's better if I own up all my mistakes. We both need to put the stuff behind us, and try to help each other.

20 Minutes Later (Merediths House)

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do. He wants nothing to do with me, he wants nothing to do with the baby. He was so upset when I told him. I know he's young, I know I am too, but he has be there!" Meredith said.

"He's the father!He's the one who got me pregnant! he needs to grow some fucking balls, and act like a man. I can't believe I ever dated him, I can't believe I ever slept with him! He's such an asshole."

"When I told him, he was so upset. He kept screaming, he kept yelling. He threw a vase at the wall! He's insane! He told me to get rid of it, or he would himself. I didn't know what he meant by that. But I told him to get out."

"How did you tell him?" I asked her.

" A few days ago, I found out I was pregnant. I missed my period for over a month. At first, I thought it was just something random, but I decided to take a pregnancy test anyways. I saw that I was pregnant, of course I wasn't happy, but I have always wanted to be a mother. so I had to except it. About an hour or two later, I called Hunter over, to tell him the news. I just handed him the pregnancy test, and told him that I was pregnant. He dropped the pregnancy test, and slammed his fist against the table yelling no."

" Jesus Christ, he is a fucking idiot! He's crazy. You need to break up with him. If you haven't already." I told her.

" I didn't break up with him, he broke up with me. And I found out yesterday, that he slept with one of his exes. One of my friends, sent me a video from a bar, and he was dancing with her and making out with her. My friend said that she saw him leave with her."

"Did he actually break up with you? Was it him cheating on you that made him break up with you?"

"Before I told him to get out, he told me that he didn't want to be with me anymore. That he couldn't take care of the baby. I was so upset, that I couldn't deal with it anymore. He was raging too hard, and I was scared."

"Look, I know a lot of stuff happened between me and him. And I apologize for that. But I wanna help you. I've ruined your life enough, and I probably caused all of this in the first place."

"You didn't ruin anything, this truly showed me how he was. You sleeping with him, was only just the beginning. I forgive you, I know you didn't mean it. I know you didn't know he was my boyfriend. I shouldn't have flipped out on you like that. You didn't deserve that. I shouldn't have stopped talking to you. You didn't deserve that either. We're best friends, and I treated you like shit. We should've truly talked about it. And I never gave you the chance to explain yourself."

" I ruined everything, and I am the one to blame. I should've broken up with him, as soon as you told me. But I chose to continue to be with him because I thought he would change. But clearly he didn't. I think over the past few months of us dating, even before me finding out that you slept with him, I believe he was cheating on me. He's such a horrible, and awful person."

I hugged her. Finally , things are over. I know things are gonna get much worse for her, especially since she is pregnant. But I am her best friend, at least I think so, and I want to be there for her. I want to make up for the last time, and I want to make up for my mistake.

I know her boyfriend isn't here, or ex-boyfriend, but I want to help her. She deserves to be treated better. This baby doesn't deserve this, nor does she. I want to help both of them.

"What can I do?" I asked her.

"Do you need money? A helping hand one the baby comes? Do you want me to go and kidnap Hunter and force him to be the father? Do you want me to kill Hunter?" I asked her in all seriousness.

Meredith chuckled and shook her head. "Thank you for being my friend Beverly, and I do appreciate all of your offers, but I'm fine. I'll somehow raise this baby on my own. I just have to have the help of my parents a bit." She said.

"have you told them yet?"I asked and she shook her head.

"Can you help me tell them? I know it's a lot, but I really need help." She asked, and I nodded.

I need to try and make up the shitty thing I did, and this is a huge start.
