Fear Of Rejection (Dawson's Book 1) | COMPLETED

Chapter 10 - Melody POV

After cleaning myself up I find Eden sitting at our lunch table alone. I head over to her and she gives me an angry look when I sit down. "I'm sorry. I will tell you everything if you want."

"Start from the beginning and don't you dare leave anything out or I will be severely pissed off"

"Well I guess I should start by telling you Nash never rejected. It was all fake." She didn't seem to surprise about this
"I knew it. You were way too happy for someone who was just rejected. So why did you guys fake it?"

I told her all about his dad and what he did. I explained everything from how the rumours about him are lies and how we had to keep this secret for both his and my safety. After I was finished talking she pulled me into a hug. We both had tears running down our faces. "God I'm so sorry Mel. I acted like a complete bitch. If I had of known it was life or death I wouldn't have pushed you into telling me"

"It's okay. I talked to Nash about it and he said I could tell you. Just please keep it secret. Not that I think you would tell anyone." She was just about to reply when I felt the need to throw up again. I ran to the closest bathroom with Eden following close behind and threw up again.

After I cleaned myself up she took me to the school nurse.

The nurse took my temperature and did all that other crap your meant to do in order to see what's wrong with me. What ever it is I hope to god it's not contagious. If I get Nash sick his someone could find out we were together. Plus I don't want his defences down around his father. That evil man could kill him is Nash doesn't have the strength to defend himself.
The nurse walks back over to me with a sympathetic smile.

"Well sweetheart, you defiantly have a stomach bug. My guess would be food poisoning. A few other students have been sick all week to from it." That explains it. The chicken last week did taste off. "So I suggest you go home with Eden and get some rest. Eden can you stay with her and make sure she is okay."

After that we left. I felt perfectly fine now which is strange. I guess I just heal quicker because I'm a werewolf.
"Hey quick question, you have been throwing up all week right but you feel better afterwards."

"Yeah what's your point?" I look at her confused.
"We need to make a quick stop at the shops on the way home."

I didn't ask any more questions because I was craving chocolate ice cream right now. When we pulled up outside of Coles I asked her to crab me chocolate ice cream, gummy bears and orange juice. She gave me a weird look then ran off into the shop. She came back out twenty minutes later.

I went through the bag to get my gummy bears and found something that confused me.
"A pregnancy test? Eden is there something you're not telling me" i joke.

"Very funny smart ass. You said you and Nash slept together right."

"Yeah about a month ago, and a week ago, and yesterday. But we used ... oh." Shit we didn't use protection.
"Seriously how much do you guys get at it?" Eden says pulling up out front of my house.

"Shut up and give me the freaking test" I run straight to the bathroom and take the stupid test. Seriously could they come up with a better way to do this? Peeing on a stick is gross. I was too scared to look at it so when the timer went off I got Eden to check it.

"Congratulations. For the first time since year seven you finally passed a test."

"You're not funny. What am I gonna do? I can't tell Nash can I? What if he doesn't want kids? Who would want kids when their 18? What about he's father" I started to freak out. I'm screwed. I'm so screwed. I will start to show soon. Then what? What if Nash isn't ready for kids and leaves me to raise our baby on my own.

"Mel you have to tell Nash. You guys will work something out. Plus we won't know for sure until you see the doctor. That man loves you, he would never leave you or your baby. He will love that child just as much as he loves you" she's right. I have to tell him. Eden left after telling me to call him.

I text Nash and tell him to come over to my house and that it's urgent. This has to be said face to face not over the phone. Since my parents aren't home right now it's the prefect time to tell him. Now or never and all.
A few minutes later Nash rushed inside and pulled me into a tight hug.

"What happened? Are you okay? God I was so worried that my dad had found out about you or something" he sounded so concerned and I took a deep breath. I can do this, he loved me and he will love our baby.

"I have to tell you something"

He let go of me and looked into my eyes.
"What's wrong baby"

"I'm not your baby" he looked back at me confused. I moved his hand over my stomach, "This is" his mouth dropped open in shock and I would have laughed at his expression if this wasn't a serious situation.

"Fuck" the one word almost broke me.
Oh god, he's not happy. Does he not want kids.
Nash's face is completely white as he sits down in the couch.

"Nash?" My voice comes out shaky and unsure. Please don't let him be mad.

He gets of the couch and starts pacing back and forth.

"I gotta go" is all he says before he walks out the door leaving me all along.

I wanna yell out to him, follow him.
But I can't, instead I fall to the ground.
I can't believe he left me, I thought he loved me. How am I gonna do this alone.
