Jack

I slammed Alex’s hospital door shut and stormed out of the hospital. Doctors kept trying to stop me, but I kept going. Not giving a fuck about anything. I got outside and went to my car and started it up, speeding out of the parking lot. I didn’t know where I was going, but I was going anywhere I can to get my mind off of Alex. I was angry. Really angry. But mostly upset. How could he be so mean to me? How could he want to give up our child? Without even talking to me about it! I can’t believe I ever cared so much for someone who throws away everything, just because of his fucking parents. I hope me storming out of the hospital, told him that we were done. If he wants to kill our child, then I want nothing to do with him. In the midst of thoughts, I finally knew where I was driving. I was going to Zack’s house. Zack is one of mine and Alex’s friends, and fellow teammate. I knew I could trust him to keep everything a secret. Yes, everyone on the team knew about mine and Alex’s relationship, well, old relationship. But Zack was the most understanding of all of them.

I reached his house and got out of my car, slamming the door behind me. I marched up to Zack’s house front door and knocked on it, probably a little harder than I should have, but I can’t help it. Zack ended up answering the door and he looked at me with concern, he could tell something was up.

“Come in. We can go up to my room and talk about whatever it is.” He said moving out of the way, letting me into the house. Let’s keep in mind, Zack is the person that I come to whenever Alex and I are having problems, and Alex always goes to our friend Rain, who is on the soccor team.
We walked up the stairs, and made our way down the hall till we reached his room. Once we were in his room, he shut the door behind us and locked it, as his little sister was most likely home, and we hated it when she just came in the room without knocking. We sat down on his bed and he sighed. “Alright, tell me what’s going on.”

“First, you have to promise to keep this between us only.” I said as I crossed my legs and looked at him.

“Like always, I promise.” He said looking back at me.

“Well, here is goes.” I took a deep breath. “I ended up getting Alex pregnant.”

“Was not expecting to hear that.” He said with a light chuckle. “But that’s a good thing right? He does know about you always wanting kids right?”

“We never really talked about it. But, right now, it’s not a good thing.” I said as I looked down to my lap.

“And why not? Is it because of your age?”

“No. I could have kids now and I would still care and love them as much as if I was older. Zack, he is getting a abortion. He wants to kill our child, and he didn’t even talk to me about it.” I wiped a stray tear that fell to my cheek.

“Shit man. I wish I could help, but, it’s his body, and I can’t do anything about that. It’s fucked up thought. He could have at least talked to you about it.” Zack put a hand on my back and rubbed circles to comfort me. “What do you think this is going to do to your relationship?”

“I stormed out of the hospital. Hopefully he took that as a ‘we’re done’. If not, then I’m just going to have to say it straight to his face. I want nothing to do with a person who wants to murder my child. His own child.” I sighed. “I just don’t know what to do Zack. I’m in love with him. I really am. But I can’t be with him if he does this to our kid. Am I overreacting?”

“Some people might say yes. But I’m going to say no. Mostly because, if I got someone pregnant, and they wanted to get a abortion and kill my child, then I would call everything off with them. I couldn’t stand being around that. I’m not trying to make up your mind for you, you do what you feel is right. Is you want to stay with him, then you do that. If you want to call everything off, then that’s fine too.”

“Thanks Zack. You’re a good friend.” I said as I lifted my head up and gave him a small smile.

“I know.” He said with a grin. Which made me chuckle. I looked at the time on my phone and noticed it was already midnight. I let out a groan and fell back onto Zack’s bed.

“Great. I have to get home. My parents mostly got called by Alex’s parents and told them everything that happen. I don’t want to deal with that tonight.” I spoke as I put my hands over my face.

“You are more than welcome to stay the night with me.” Zack spoke.

“Really?” I asked with hope in my voice.

“Yeah. I’ll let you borrow some of my clothes for school tomorrow. We will just have to stop by your house in the morning and get your lacrosse equipment.”

“Thank you Zack. For everything.”

Notes

I'm still sick guys. Boo.

I do hope you enjoyed this chapter thought.

So, Jack wants to call everything off with Alex, do you guys think Alex understood what Jack was doing when he stormed out of the hospital? Or is Jack going to have to tell it to his face that he wants nothing to do with him?
