Pregnant with the Bad Boy - Second Book

Chaper 7

Mandy was the first one out; she almost threw her blonde ass out of the rolling car when mom was yelling at her to stop when I couldn’t care less, let her get run over and die; she hated me anyway; every breath that her and I were taking around each other was painful, I wished that I could just leave and never come back to this stupid house!

“You.” Mom was locking the doors when I was trying to get out, seeing her dangerous blue eyes in the rearview mirror staring me down like she was sick of me. Mandy fought all the damn time, and apparently, that was my fault!?

“What?!” I wasn’t in the mood for one of her lectures, she was going to tell me to back off from my stupid sister that had gone behind my back, making everyone believe that she was helping me, but all she really wanted was to get close to the guy I loved!

“Why in God’s name are you acting up, and inside the mall of all places, didn’t I raise you better than that!?” Mom had raised her voice when I was just about to point out that she did the same thing at the hospital when she gave me another look that made me shut up before even speaking; she was pissed. Oh.

“You need to let go, like right now, Jennifer; it's never going to change, and guess what? He still won’t speak to you; at least when Mandy talked to Dylan, he could pretend to care what happened to you and the baby!” I gasped, seeing my mother's upset face, perfect hair, and makeup turning the slightest red underneath her foundation. Was she defending that b***h!?

“He cares; I know he cares, but you don’t understand!” I couldn’t believe that she was saying to my face that Dylan didn’t care about Lilly, he named her, and he loved her! Always did and always would, no matter what shitty story he was telling me!

“Oh yeah, is that why he got another girl that’s been visiting him in prison, and it's not that sister this time….” I couldn’t speak, not a damn word seeing Mom's stern face, her eyes made from ice, still looking at me through the mirror, not even turning around.

“Face it, Jennifer, he moved on, and it's about time you did too.” She still was scolding me when I couldn’t figure out how to use words, how to breathe when my whole body collapsed, wanting to get out, and she wasn’t letting me that b***h!

“Let me go!” My voice was darker when mom seemed to exhale, pushing the button and hearing the unlocked doors when my hand was on the handle and out of the stupid car dad had bought for her!

Walking down the road, my heavy breaths were getting worse when my feet hurt. I was so thirsty, not even making more than a few hundred yards down the road leading away from the homestead before I stopped, exhausted.

He didn’t want me.

My mind was spinning, trying to understand what Mom had told me. Did she know? For how long?! My chest was hurting, and Lilly was kicking me harder again to the pain in my side, feeling like I could just give up; this was not what I had thought would happen when I signed that stupid document, agreeing to divorce from the same guy that said he loved me no matter what happened when he didn’t!

I was crying when I sat down, the life just running out of my body, feeling so empty that I didn’t know where to start; everyone who loved me hated me too. Why was I so stupid not to understand that?? Lilly would hate me too, one day when she realized that I was the one that cheated on her father, making sure that she was going to grow up and never see him!

My eyes hurt when the sounds of steps were coming down the dirt road, and I didn’t care; whoever it was, they could go to hell, everyone!

“Jen, just get up….” I snorted, hearing the soft feminine voice that sounded annoyed, and I didn’t listen to her, was she here to see me cry? Make me understand that Mom was on her side, same as always, and she called me the favorite!? I looked up, seeing Mandy staring at me like she was sick of me crying, I know she was, and she didn’t need to even be here; she could go back and make out with Liam for all I cared!

“Leave.” I said it hollow when she sighed and squatted down gracefully, unlike me, sitting flat on my butt with both legs spread out like the huge whale I was these days.

“Not happening; if Dad catches you have been crying again, he is going to yell at me, and he and Mom are going to fight, and I want some f*****g peace and quiet.” Mandy sounded like she didn’t care; she always did, like nothing mattered when everything did, making me sneer at her face with perfect makeup; same as mom, she was thinking about herself and blamed me for being the selfish one!?

“I don’t care, leave!” I was crying more, not wanting to speak anymore; she had no idea what I was going through, no idea. Still, she was here and acting like some goddam goddess blessing me with her present.

“If this is about what mom said… well yeah, that sucks, but you think that it's going to get any better sitting here on the damn road waiting to get run over and make mom and dad more worried, Jen please, they are already going to fight, and you are making it worse!” Mandy’s voice got sharper when I was sniffling, snot running down my nose, and she was blaming me for our parents fighting; yeah, I guess that was my fault too; the whole damn world was me, world hunger, poverty, and catastrophes? Jennifer Thompson.

“You knew?” I didn’t even know why I was asking when she smirked back; she knew…. I started to cry again, not wanting to stop; why was everyone keeping things from me? Did they think I would break if I had known the truth?

“Yes, not from him but…. This town isn’t big enough for people not to gossip, and you are the only person in the universe that doesn’t check her phone….” I didn’t understand why she was blinking when she was picking up the new phone she had just got and showing me the status of what I assumed was Dylan’s profile.

There was a girl, she was pretty and had long brown hair. Her name was Bliss; that was the stupidest name I had ever seen next to Dylan’s picture, which was him half-naked. In a relationship, it said, what the f**k!?

I was getting up slowly when Mandy didn’t help me making me curse more when she was still holding the phone at my face like she was trying to piss me off on purpose, so much for real love! He had another girlfriend, and he didn’t even tell me, that son of a b***h! I was going to kill him!

“Why didn’t you tell me?!” I was screaming at Mandy, that still hadn’t taken her phone down; she really wanted to hurt me, making sure that I couldn’t escape seeing the tall blond guy with curls at the end that didn’t fold how much he combed them down and looked like he belonged more in a poster than anything else.

“Why should I? You blame me for everything, for cheating and getting a divorce; I don’t care anymore, and I’m only doing this since you are out in the heat. Dad will kill me if I don’t get you back inside!” I was still panting hard from the heat and the shock, hurt, pain, and raw agony coursing through every vein in my body. Dylan had left me and Lilly, and he wasn’t coming back this time.

“I meant nothing….” The sounds coming out of my mouth were awful, short breaths of air mixed with the grief that made me shake, unable to think of anything, blank.

Mandy was still observing me, like she wasn’t sure if I was just being dramatic like always or if she needed to go get Mom and Dad and take me back to the hospital when I was still staring at the dirt road leading away from the Thompson homestead.

“You did mean something, but now it's over.” She sounded just like Mom, turning her back on me and starting to walk away, not caring if I was coming along, still stuck with my eyes in the distance feeling my tears still running down my cheeks, it was over.
