Hostage

Chapter 15 - Heartbreaker

Jason's mouth dropped open, his breaths were still, his eyes widened, staring deeply into Zoey's soul. He felt as if his heart were breaking into millions of little pieces. "No.. Zoe, that's not true." Jason said, shaking his head side to side, declining every word Zoey had said to him.

"Jase, I'm sorry but, it's true. Justin and I have been seeing each other, and we had sex.." Zoey said lying through her teeth. Dishonesty floated through the air, lingering into Jason's ears. Jason looked down at his toes, and sighed an audible breath. "I can't believe this Zoey... Please, tell me you're lying." Jason pleaded. Tears blurred his vision as they streamed down his cheeks, and dripped off of his chin.

Zoey sobbed as Jason's sorrow overwhelmed her. She didn't know what to say, unless she told him the truth about it all. Albeit, it was Jason's baby, but she didn't think he had what it takes to be the father figure she needed for the baby.

"I loved you..I still love you, and.. why are you hurting me this way?" This was definetly not the reaction Zoey expected from Jason, she expected anger and rage, not tears and sobbing. Jason's heart was broken, he wanted nothing more for this all to be a sick joke. "and I love you, but... this is all just one big mistake. I-- I don't think you could handle being a father if this was your baby Jason." Jason clenched his jaw, holding his head, trying to process everything.

"I would do it for you.. I'm not like I was a year ago, I am different. I-- I have changed since then. I wouldn't dare hurt you or the baby, I would take care of it, love it, and cherish the moments I have with you. I'd get my shit together and straighten up, no more killing, no more pain, just good and happiness." Zoey sighed an audible breath, and started to actually believe Jason, but the damage was done.

Jason wiped away his tears from his eyes, and sucked it up. The door swung open and bounced against the wall. Justin, walked in with bags in his hands, filled with groceries he had bought for them to eat. Jason clenched his jaw, staring deeply into Justin's eyes with betrayal.

"What's going on?" Justin asked knitting his eyebrows together in confusion. Zoey quickly got into the middle of them, before Jason could cause any harm to Justin. "I told him everything." Justin raised his eyebrows in shock. "What!? why would you do tha--" he immediately dropped the bags to the ground. Zoey interrupted him. "I told him I was pregnant with your baby, and we have been seeing each other for a while." Justin widened his eyes, starting to catch on to Zoey's lie.

"Jase, before you get out of hand, I--" Jason clenched his jaw, and interrupted Justin. "Leave, now." Justin slowly backed up out of Jason's reach. "Bro, listen I can explain." Jason let out a fake laugh in disgust. "You are no brother of mine, and explain? explain what? That you stole my fucking girlfriend away from me, and got her pregnant? You don't have to explain yourself Justin, you always have stolen everything away from me, and always had to one up me somehow because you think you are so much better than me.. but guess what? You're not.. anyone who gets their brother's girlfriend pregnant is a fucking ass who deserves to burn in hell."

Justin took it all in, letting Jason call him every name in the book. He knew he was in the wrong for loving Zoey, but he sure as heck didn't get her pregnant. "I deserve every thing you are saying to me right now, but get this,in the end.. you are gonna wish you hadn't of said it." Jason squinted his eyes, looking at Justin in disgust.

Zoey had wished she never lied on Justin, but she was scared of how he was going to act. She would have never blamed it on Justin if she knew Jason was going to act the way he did. "and you know what.. fucking have her, if you can steal her that easily, she doesn't mean anything to me." Zoey held back her tears that were forming in her eyes. Justin grabbed Zoey by the hand, and pulled her close to him. "Come on Zoe, lets go." Zoey shut her eyes in sorrow, and pulled away from Justin. "No.. if Jason can't have me, then.. you can't either.. just take me home."
