"What did you want to talk about?" I ask

"Vanessa is pregnant." He says 

"She what?" I say, my voice cracking a little bit. He slows down and pulls over. 

"I'm not buying it, and if she is the baby isn't mine." He says taking off his seat belt leaning over. 

"How am I supposed to know that?" I say feeling my anger build up with him even more. "God! How can you expect us to work if she's pregnant?! I can't do this!" I say feeling tears swell in my eyes. 

"But that's the thing, I was safe when I did it with her." 

"How long?" I ask feeling tears run down my face. 

"How long what?" He asks looking confused. 

"How long were you two sleeping together?" I ask 

"It only happened once, and I didn't even want it to happen. She came onto me and it just happened." 

"Did it happen while we were together?" 

"No, it was after we broke up, maybe a week later...I was upset that night, she was over and Ryan had left and she came in, we started talking, and that's when it happened." He says lowering his head. 

"How was she?" I ask wiping away a tear. 

"What do you mean?" He asks looking up at me. 

"I mean how was she?! Was she better than me? Did she scream louder than me? Did she make you feel better?" 

"No, she could never-" 

"Did she love you the way that I did?" I ask cutting him off. 

"No! It wasn't supposed to be like that Keisha. I don't want this to happen. I know you're hurt and you were hurt by other people even worse. I'm sorry." He says reaching for my hands. I turn away. 

"Saying sorry doesn't magically make her disappear from feeling you the way that I used to." I say 

"Keisha please, this wasn't supposed to happen, I don't love her, I never have and never will. It's you that I want." He says reaching for me again. 

"Can you please take me home." I say 

"Yes." He says letting his head fall. He puts on his seat belt and speeds off to my house. 

* 3 days pass* 

I hear another ding from my phone, I look at it for a moment and notice several messages from Seth, Ryan, and a lot more people.

Seth: Keisha there is nothing that I can say to fix this..I'm sorry.
Seth: I didn't see you at school today. I hope you're doing okay. 
Seth: I talked to Logan and he said he hasn't seen you for a couple of days. Please say something..I can't stand not talking to you right now. 
Ryan: Hey Seth told me you haven't been feeling well..I hope you get to feeling better soon. 

*Knock Knock* 

"Please go away." I say rolling over. 

"Keisha, I'm coming in." I hear Logan say through the door. "You haven't eaten, or even come out of your room for the past few days. You haven't talked to me and I'm starting to worry even more about you. Talk to me." He says walking over to my bed and sitting down next to me. 

I continue to lay there in silence. 

"Keisha, I'm not messing around. If he hurt you this badly it gives me all the reason to go over there and hurt him as bad as he's hurt you." He says,
