Lost In You

Untitled Part 48

Reagan's POV: A week later: 

I was sitting on the couch watching Gabby and Kenna play video games in the living room. They were both getting loud at who was cheating and the whole thing was hilarious.

"Don't be such a sore loser." Gabby said not looking at Kenna who was sitting there pouting with her focus on the screen. I was about to join in when the bell rang. I looked at them and they both turned to look at me.

"Can you get it?" Kenna asked, looking at me. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"Sure, send the pregnant lady who can barely walk to answer the door." I said trying to get off the couch. The bell rang for the third time and I still wasn't up, they paused the game and Gabby helped me to my feet as Kenna walked to answer the door. We were approaching her when she opened it and Stephanie was standing right there with her arms crossed.

"Oh I thought it was somebody important." Gabby joked and went back to the living room.

"Babe your phone's ringing!" I walked in and grabbed it as Stephanie joined them in the game.

"Yes this is she." I answered on the phone.

"Hi this is Marcus from Beckly University. I was looking at your application but I just ran into an issue, is there any chance you'd be able to stop by today?" he asked seriously and I told him I would. I told Gabby and she finished the game and we got ready to head out. It took me an hour to finish getting ready and I was now in the passenger seat of Gabby's car and she drove us to the university. It was a 45 minute drive and we spent the whole time talking and joking around.

"I'm gonna be the fun parent I swear." Gabby said as she opened up my door for me.

"Okay just because I wouldn't want him playing video games all day doesn't mean I won't be fun." I argued back as we made our way inside the building.

"Um that's exactly what it means love." she said as we approached the front desk. We were given visitor's passes and were now waiting for Marcus, the director of the school.

"Ms. Carter?" I looked at her and saw a tall man staring at me. I told Gabby to wait for me as I made my way inside his office. He offered me some water and I took a seat in front of his desk waiting for him.

"Your resume and reputation exceeds you ma'am." he said taking a seat and smiling at me.

"Thank you, did I forget to fill out something?" I asked and he shook his head.

"No, all of your papers were perfect actually, but I received a disturbing call and video this morning that I wanted to talk to you about. I didn't want to do it over the phone." he said and I waited for him to continue. "Once we settle this the job is yours I just need to make sure that this is a mistake." he said he started clicking on his computer.

"Ms. carter...have you had any issues with any of your previous students?" he asked and I looked at him confusingly.

"No more than the regular stuff." I said calmly waiting on him. He took a deep breath and looked at me as if he didn't know what to say.

"What's the issue?" I asked.

"I respect you and everything you've accomplished Ms. Carter. I admire you and your work ethic with everything you've accomplished at such a young age. But I take this school seriously and I take my students seriously here. Have you ever been involved with your students?" he asked and my heart dropped.

"Excuse me?"

"Well I got a call this morning from your last job and apparently there was an issue with one of your students. I understand it's why you were fired?"

"I'm sorry but you've been misinformed. I wasn't fired from the university, I decided to quit. And yes one of my students reported to the school that I was involved, but the whole case was dropped because neither she nor the school had any evidence to back up her accusations." I explained and he nodded and waited for me to finish.

"That's what I thought, until I received a video of you this morning."

"A video? I don't understand..."

"Yes apparently the video is proof that not only do you get sexually involved with your students, but you cross boundaries as well." before I could say anything he said "this is a video of you having sex with not only one of your students but she's also underage." I sat there in shock as he turned his computer screen towards me and played the video. I sat there and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. How was this even possible?

"This Is you, correct?" he asked but I was too shocked to answer. I tried to ask for water but my tongue was dried and I felt like the room was dizzy. He handed me a water bottle and I took a sip.

"You don't understand..." I started explaining before he cut me off.

"I asked you to be here out of respect Ms. carter. You went to law school with my older brother and he has a lot of love and respect for you. I'm not going to turn this in, but I can't hire you. Someone is obviously after you, and I can't say that I'm the only one they sent this to. I wish you the best." I watched as he deleted the video before making my way out of the office. I walked to Gabby and we both walked back to the car. She was waiting for me to talk but I was still too shocked to say anything. I have no doubt that Jason was the one behind this. He wanted to ruin my career and reputation. I never got back to him, but he stopped reaching out. I'm not even sure how he got this. I wasn't even aware that the video existed.

"Babe talk to me. What's wrong?" Gabby said as we were driving back home.

"Somebody sent him a video of me." I said quietly.

"Okay? What was in the video?" she asked, keeping her eyes on the road.

"It was a sex tape." she looked at me and her eyes were opened wide.

"What? How? Why?"

"It was Jason. I should've just gone on one date with him." I said, feeling my anxiety attack approaching.

"What? Okay so what. They saw you having sex and now they won't hire you?"

"You don't understand gabby. It was a video of me having sex with you." I snapped and she looked back at me.

"How would they even..."

"I don't know." I interrupted her. "I can lose my license Gabriella. He can literally ruin my life with this." I started getting upset and overwhelmed.

"Try to stay calm baby remember." she said, looking at my belly.

"Stay calm?! I can get arrested Gabby! I'm pregnant and I have to be here to watch him grow up but now I can't....Oh my god I can't breath..." I started panicking and panting feeling like my chest was closing in. My head was spinning and I Felt nauseous. Gabby pulled over and rushed out to my side.

"Hey hey come here. It's okay. Baby look at me." I tried to focus on her.

"Just breathe with me okay, come one breath in.... now breath out. Again. Again. Again. Okay good good. I'm right here just focus on me alright?" In 10 minutes I was fully calm but was still freaking out.

"Alright I'm not your student anymore. So they can't arrest you." she said driving back home.

"Gabby. It's a video of the first night we met." she pulled in the driveway and her eyes widened at the realization

"Fuck..." she mumbled and sat back looking at the house.

"Yeah. The first night we slept together Gabby."

"But we didn't even know each other." she explained and I shook my head.

"It doesn't change the fact that you were underage Gabby. I had sex with a minor and that's a crime. I'm gonna be sick." I got out of the car and rushed inside to throw up.
