After dinner, we went to the backyard to hangout, except James. He didn't talk the whole time at dinner. You could feel the tension."Can I have a word with you?" James asked me. I just nodded. Emma and Charlie left."Somehow I keep hurting you, and I'm sorry.""You need some anger management class." I told him."I'll try to control my temp." He pulled me closer to him."I hope so." I added, he leaned in and crashed his lips against mine.Emma "Am I the only one who feels this is toxic?" I asked my parents."Emma, your brother isn't toxic. He just needs the right person by his side." She told me."Your brother has a short temp, but he's not toxic." My dad told me."But he keeps hurting her. Misty is my best friend; I just want to protect her." I sighed."She loves your brother, that's why she forgives him. She has hope that one day he will become a better person." Mom told me while grabbing a bottle of water.I had a funny feeling about this. I hope I'm wrong.James Before driving M
I never understood the phrase, 'love hurts' till it happened to me. I told my parents that James and I broke up. It was better to tell them a little lie, than tell them about us just being friends with benefits.There was a knock on my door, I went to open it and it was Emma."My best friend is heartbroken and needs me." She told me while holding a carton of ice cream."I do." I hugged her and cried.Another week went by and I never heard from James. I was still hurting. I could barely focus on my classes and work. My mind went back to him. I missed him. but to him I was just his fuck buddy."Can I get a coffee and an apple pie to go?" I turned to see the girl from that day. Lia went to get her order"Tough week for James, he's been really busy with his music. Did you know he asked me on a date?" Lia came back with her order."He told me he's crazy about me." With that said, she grabbed the order and left."I bet she's bluffing." Lia told me."I don't know what to believe anymore. Thi
A week went by, I was pacing in my room. I didn't know if I should inform James about the pregnancy. I haven't even told Emma about it."I think you should tell him. He deserves to know." My mom told me."I think so too." I sighed."I'll drive you there."I followed her to the car and she drove us to their house. We got out and knocked on their door. Mr. Jacobs greeted us."Nice to see you Misty.""And I'm guessing, you're Mrs. Hawthorne?" He said as they shook hands. "Nice to meet you""Likewise."He motioned us to come inside. "Emma is taking a shower and will come out soon.""I actually want to talk to James." I told him. He just sighed."James, left two days ago. He left his phone behind.""H- he left." I cried. "Is there any way to contact him?""Unfortunately, no. when we went to his room, he was gone. He just left a letter telling us he needed to get away from here."I- I can't breathe." I passed out."That was a good sho-" She stopped when she saw me being carried to the couch
Time went by and I was due any day. I was so nervous. James was still nowhere to be found.I thought everyone in college would look at me weird, or give me nasty looks, but they didn't. Our class was excited to meet her.Today was our final exam. At least I can say, I managed to finish this year with everything that has happened. On our way out, I felt something between my legs."Emma, the baby is coming." I said as I grabbed her, I was in pain.Some of the guys from our class picked me up and carry me to the car. Emma was also nervous she told them to drive us there. Once we reached the hospital, they took me inside.After a few hours, they deliver my baby girl. When they put her in my arms, I cried like there was no tomorrow, this little person was finally in my arms after many months."What's her name?" Emma asked me."Selena Jacobs Hawthorne.""I can't believe you decided to put her our last name." Sophia told me."I did it for you guys, you've been amazing during everything." I s
The next day I woke up with Selena gone. Either Sophia or Emma grabbed her. I did my daily routine and then went to the kitchen.Sophia was feeding her banana puree. "I went to her bedroom to tell you breakfast was ready, but you were sleeping. Selena was wide awake so I took her.""It's fine. She really loves banana puree." I chuckled while seeing her face covered in it."Good morning." Lance said to everyone as he walked into the kitchen, "My little banana monster." He tickled her, she giggled.After having breakfast with everyone, I went to the living room and watch a movie with Emma while Selena was playing with her doll. I'm not a fan of giving a baby, a device to entertain themselves. I'll raise her old school. toys and she can watch her shows on the tv.Halfway through the movie, Selena started to walk away, I followed her and she entered one specific room. It smelled like him."Baby girl, this place is off limits." I told her while grabbing her hand. She giggled.I saw on the
He came every day, they bonded really fast. It was nice to see his goofy side again.We were at his parent's house hanging out."Since I was told a little princess likes my voice, I will sing for her." He said while grabbing his guitar, Selena sat next to him and he started to sing.She was very happy, after he finished singing, she hugged him. I smiled while looking at them. Even if we're not together, I'm happy Selena has James in her life. That was all it mattered now."That was beautiful, James." Lana told him. "Thanks.""My friend is outside, I'll come back later." She was about to kiss him, when Selena got in the middle of them. Lana just got up and left."Baby knows best." Sophia chuckled."We have a brown situation here." James mentioned as Selena was giggling.I picked her up and took her to her bedroom. "Phooey." I said as she laughed."She's amazing." James said in my ear. That sent shivers down my spine"She's the best thing that's ever happened to me." I replied as I cl
Friday came and I was packing our bags for the weekend."Are we ready?" James asked while walking into the room. Selena saw him and walked to where he was. He picked her up and kissed her cheeks."Yeah, let me go grab her food." I told him."No need, I already bought our food and hers.""Why do I get the feeling is more than a weekend?"He just smiled and then gave me a kiss on my cheek.We said bye to my parents. of course, dad told James that if he hurts me, he will feed him to the sharks. Got to love my overprotective dad.After a 2-hour drive, we arrived at the lake. It was gorgeous. We walked inside the house and it was beautiful."This was our childhood home, now it's our lake house." He told me.I saw the pictures on the wall and then came across one and I was in awe. "Selena looks so much like you in this picture.""She's my mini me. Thank you for her." He wrapped his arms around my waist. Just his touch made me weak at the knees.I felt two little arms hug my leg. I picked he
Selena woke up from her nap crying of course. She was hungry."Alright Selena, one for daddy." James said while bringing a spoon filled with potato soup. which is her favorite. She ate it. I love seeing them like this, makes me happy.After lunch, and resting, we went inside the lake. Selena was so happy splashing water.I never thought we would be having moments like these, but here we are. I love seeing Selena so happy. James temper has also changed since Selena entered his life."Look at you, Mr. Softy." I chuckled."Only for two amazing girls." He smiled while putting Selena on his shoulder, she was laughing."Thank you." I gave him a kiss on his cheek.We got off the water and he gave her a bath. she fell asleep while he was changing her diaper. we let her sleep and we went out.Without a warning, he crashed his lips against mine, I gave in. He picked me up making my legs wrapped around his waist, he took us to another room never breaking our kiss, our clothes came off and we lan
