“Okay,” I say as I look towards the ground.
“I’m sorry I haven’t called you.”
“Don’t be,” I say truthfully, he has every right to be mad at me.
“I am, because I want to know what’s going on, when your next doctor’s appointment is. I want to go. I was angry with you for keeping the fact that I’m her dad from me. I deserved to know sooner.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I know you are.”
“The next doctor’s appointment is Monday at 11:00 a.m.,” I state.
“I want to go along.”
“Okay. When do you leave?”
“Tuesday.” I only nod my head, because I know if I say anything, I’ll start to cry. He’s really getting married. “I should probably head home,” I say as I go to stand.
“You don’t have to leave.”
“It’s probably better if I do. Liam, I’m sorry if I caused you any problems, you deserve to be happy and I want that for you.”
“Thanks,” he says never looking at me.
“Have a good night,” I say as I walk away and head towards my car.
I drive the forty minutes home and see a worried looking Kenzie and Quinn.
“Where the hell have you been?”
“I told you I’d be back later,” I say.
“That was hours ago.”
“I needed to think. I’m fine,” I say as I sit on the chair.
“What happened?” Quinn asks with a look.
“I ran into Liam.”
“And?” Kenz says looking eager.
“He’s coming to the doctor’s appointment on Monday.”
“Did he call off the wedding?” Kenz asks looking hopeful.
“No, he leaves on Tuesday.”
“Seriously?” she asks looking angry.
“Yes, he’s still getting married Kenz.”
“Ugh, why?” she complains.
“Because he loves her,” I snap feeling angry.
“No, he doesn’t.”
“Yes, he does,” I argue back.
“Okay, everyone calm down,” Quinn says as she sits beside me, “A part of Liam will always love you, that’s how it works, but he does seem happy with Nina.”
“See,” I say with a glare to Kenzie.
“You’re both wrong,” Kenzie defends.
“How are we both wrong?” I practically shout.
“You know him, how do you not see it? The way he looks at you and talks to you; tell me you don’t feel something.”
“Of course I do,” I shout, “I’m still in love with him and I’m carrying his child. How could I not feel something?” I yell, standing up, needing to get away.
“Where are you going?” Quinn asks worriedly.
“To my room, I need to be alone,” I say as I walk towards the stairs. I go into my room and lock the door, not wanting any company. I change and crawl into bed hoping I can get a good night’s rest.
Chapter Nine
Quinn and Brody are leaving on Wednesday to head to Ohio where Liam and Nina are getting married. Kenzie declined, so she could babysit me, though I don’t know why.
“You can go to the wedding, I’ll be fine until you guys get back,” I state to Kenzie for the fifth time.
“I’m not going and that’s that; so would you stop bugging me about it?” Kenzie snaps at me.
“I don’t need a babysitter.”
“And I don’t want to go to the stupid wedding,” she says harshly.
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t like her and I don’t agree with this senseless wedding,” she says before walking out of the room.
“What was that about?” Quinn asks looking confused.
“I don’t really even know. What time are you guys leaving tomorrow?” I ask Quinn.
“Around eight.”
“Damn that’s early,” I state, “How long’s the drive?”
“About four and a half hours, but Brody’s supposed to help with something at 1:30 p.m., so we have to make sure we are there in time,” Quinn says.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before I know it, it’s already Wednesday and I already feel like shit. Between feeling like a whale and it being summertime, I’m miserable. Then there’s the fact that Liam’s getting married on Saturday.
“I need to talk to you,” Kenzie says as she sits down nervously on the couch.
“What’s going on?” I ask as I sit down.
“You need to stop this wedding,” she says with a straight face.
“Why?”
“Because, you can’t let Liam marry that troll.”
“Troll? Kenzie what aren’t you telling me?”
“She’s an evil bitch,” she says matter of fact.
