Saved by the Way (SLOW REVISIONS)

Chapter 18

The butterflies in my stomach fluttered angrily. They must've been having a war in my stomach.

I was pregnant.

I would only tell one person because he needed to know. He couldn't be in the dark any longer. I would tell him how. But he'd be all.

I grabbed my phone and opened it to the contacts. I exhaled deeply as I opened up his name folder. My fingers shook as I typed out the first text.

Gerard, we need to talk. In person. It's very important.
-Scarlett ^_^

Alright, I'll be over in a few. K?
-Gerard

K love you
-Scarlett ^_^

Love you too
-Gerard

I sat on my bed and stared at my wall planning out how I would say this. It wasn't going to be easy, and it wasn't going to be a very joyful conversation, but it was necessary at that.

I heard the familiar knock on my window and unlatched it for Gerard to hop in. He jumped into my bedroom.

"Scarlett, what is?" his voice was tender and sweet, but also full of concern.

"Gerard, do you know that I love you with all my heart? I love you deeply and nothing will ever change that"

"Of course I do. Scarlett, I will love you no matter what happens." a sly smile broke into his face.

The butterflies seemed to calm down a little bit.

"Gerard, I don't know how to tell you this, but, I'm pregnant." I tried to say it slowly.

Gerard looked confused for a moment. Then his face warped into complete shock. At last, his face became utter rage.

"Dammit" he muttered.

"Dammit!" he said louder.

"Fuck you, Scarlett." he said.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He just said he'd always love me.

"FUCK YOU!" he screamed.

I could feel a tear brim my eye.

"SCARLETT, I LEFT YOU ALONE FOR ONE FUCKING WEEKEND AND YOU USED IT AS AN EXCUSE TO FUCK OTHER MEN! YOU SLUT! YOU TWO TIMING FUCKING SLUT!" He screamed.

"Gerard, I-"

"No! You said you loved me! You told me that you would always love me!" He said with a few tears leaking from his eye.

I was sobbing. "Gerard I'm sorry."

"Sorry isn't going to fix anything. You're pregnant and whenever I look at that kid it's just going to be a reminder of a broken heart."

"Gerard....."

"You know what? Fuck everyone. Fuck you especially. It's all your fault and I think we need to take a break."

I nodded with tears streaming my face.
