Chapter 61

Naomi's POV


So I thought maybe I'd give Jake a taste of his own medicine. I took a shower and my belly had grown a little, I smiled and I put my curls on top of my head.


I put on a black long sleeve shirt, black skinny jeans, black Jordan's, and I let my curls loose. I played with them until they satisfied me. Something caught my eye and I looked and saw my necklace. A wave of uneasy came on me and I grabbed it, I put it on and tucked it in my shirt. I looked in the mirror, the shirt showed the perfect size of my belly and I rubbed it.


"Don't worry, daddy still loves you," I whispered. "I think so at least." I grabbed my phone and book bag, I walked downstairs and I got in my car. I drove to school and I got out, I walked inside and walked to the group. They looked at my belly.


"Your belly is so cute," Macy gushed and I smiled, the girls were feeling it. The bell rang and I walked to class. The class was boring and I kept just feeling my belly bump. The bell finally rang and I got up walking up, I walked to my locker and I was checking my phone.


"I know right," some girl said, she had that white girl voice. I was about to tune them out until they caught my attention.


"He got a new girl?" One asked. "Jake got another girl..." she said more but I blocked it all out, it was a joke. It had to be. I walked to class and sat down, I was gonna find out by lunch. The class ended and I walked out to find Jake. I found him, but it wasn't like I wanted to.


Jake was against the locker leaning on his shoulder. He was talking to a girl, she blushed and looked down. He touched her arm and she looked up. He mouthed, come on and grabbed her hand, he pulled her away and she groaned as he laughed.


"Naomi," I heard Leanna say softly and I smiled and looked at her.


"I'm fine, I got all the answers I needed," I said and rubbed my belly. I walked away and to my class.


Lunch came and I walked in, I didn't feel like eating so I just walked to the table. Jake came soon, but he wasn't alone, the girl he was with earlier sat beside him.


"Jake, who's your friend?" Aaron asked.


"This is Kayla," he said.


"Ok," Simone said, it was silent, I couldn't speak, but mainly because nothing would come out.

I got home and I walked upstairs, I grabbed my duffel bag and I sat it on my bed. I grabbed all of the clothes Jake had left here and put it in the bag. I stuffed any presents he gave me, the letter and the song he gave me in the bag. Everything he gave Casey, anything that had anything to do with him, went in the bag. I touched the necklace on around my neck, I took it off and dropped it in the bag.


I zipped it up and I picked it up, I walked downstairs and out to my car. I pulled out and I drove to Jake's house, I just put the bag on the porch and I left. I got back home and I walked upstairs, I changed and I laid down. I couldn't even cry, I just fell asleep.


~*~


Friday finally got here, this was the longest week of my life. Kayla was still around and I was still in pain.


Today was a good day because I go for an ultrasound today, I was getting ready for it. I grabbed my phone and I walked downstairs, I got in my car and I drove to the doctors office and got out. I walked in and checked in and everything. I walked back to the waiting room and I saw Jake, I sat down away from him and it stayed quiet.


"Naomi Hensley?" The doctor called and we stood up, we followed him back and walked into the room. I laid down on the table and Jake stood against the wall. I pulled shirt up and he got the stick thing and put the jelly on it. "This is gonna be cold." I nodded and he placed it on my belly. He moved it around and I looked at the screen, I smiled as soon as I saw the twins. I noticed Jake moved closer.


"Can I hear the heart?" I asked, he clicked something and I heard the thumping rhythms. But then I heard a door shut, I looked and saw no Jake. I looked down and I looked back at the screen. "Then there was one."


~


I looked at the ultrasound picture I was gonna give Jake, I grabbed my phone and I walked out. I got in my car and I drove to his house, I got out and Taylor let me in.


"He's in his room I think," he said and I nodded, I walked up and I didn't think about knocking. I wish I did. Jake was laying in the bed asleep, Kayla had her leg across his waist and was asleep with her head on his chest. What hurt worse was that she had on one of my favorite of his shirts. I laid the picture down and I walked back out. I walked out and I went to my car, I just drove home in silence.


~


I was sleeping till a loud boom of thunder woke me up, I gulped and my heart pounded. The rain poured and lightning lit up my room. I wanted Jake, that's all I wanted. I started crying and shaking, I gripped the pillow begging for Jake to show up.


He never came.


~*~


I was laying on my couch watching TV and my front door opened. The guys and girls walked in, and Kayla.


"Hey Mimi, we missed you at school," Macy said and I sat up.


"I wasn't feeling that good," I said.


"Why?" Jake asked and I stood up.


"Anybody want something to eat?" I asked.


"Naomi, what was wrong with you?" Jake asked and I looked at him.


"You're really that clueless?" I asked.


"What?" He asked.


"You never came," I said. "It was storm last night and you never came."


"We're not together anymore," he said.


"So, you can just deal with the fact that I was terrified and crying begging for you to come?" I asked. "But you were too busy letting her wear your shirts and letting her fall asleep on your chest." He chewed his lip. "Just go."


"Naomi," he said.


"No, all of you, just get out," I said.


"What'd we do?" Simone asked.


"I wanna be alone," I said.


"Naomi," Jake said. "You know this is better."


"For who?" I asked. "I've put up with it till I'm stressed where my head pounds."


"What're you trying to say?" He asked.


"I'm done with all of you, you can stay with her and I'll take care of the twins and Casey myself," I said.


"You can't do that," he said. "Their mine too."


"Not anymore, you're not even ready for a kid," I said and I walked past him and upstairs. "You can let yourselves out." I walked to my room and I shut the door, I slid down it and I cried.


~*~


I haven't talked to none of the group for a week, I went to school and then I came back home everyday.


My stomach growled and I sat up, Casey looked at me and smiled.


"You wanna go eat?" I asked and she smiled bigger. "Ok, come on." She ran to me and I picked her up, I walked out and I put her in the car. I got in and drove off, I got to McDonalds and I parked. I got Casey and I walked inside.


I started feeding her and eating my meal and I carried her out. I was walking to my car and I heard something, I looked but I didn't see anything. I put Casey in and I shut the door. I turned around and a hand went on my mouth and pushed me against the car. It was dark so I couldn't see their face, but it was a dude. He punched me and I stumbled, I caught my balance and he hit me again. I could hear Casey crying and saying mama. He grabbed my hair and I winced, someone yelled and he let go and ran off.


I got in my car and I drove off, I felt weak and I stopped. I got Casey out and I walked through the woods, I walked up the ladder to the treehouse and went inside. I laid Casey on the couch and I laid beside her, she was soon asleep and I followed her action.


~*~


Jake's POV


I walked up to the group and they were talking about something.


"What's up?" I asked.


"Have you seen Naomi?" Ethan asked.


"No, why?" I asked.


"She didn't come to school and her nor Casey are at the house," Aaron said. "But their clothes are there."


"Maybe she just stayed somewhere," I said.


"No, something's wrong," Simone said.


"Calm down, there's not many places she can be," I said. "Except one."


"What?" Macy asked.


"I think I know where she is," I said and ran down the hall. I got in my car and I drove to the park, I went through the woods and climbed up the ladder. Casey was playing with something on the floor. She had one of my hoodies on. "Hey baby." She looked at me and smiled. "Where's mommy?" She looked and I followed her direction. "Ok don't move." I walked to Naomi who was on the couch, she was freezing and I saw her face was bruised. I picked her up bridal style and I started to walk out. "Come on McKenna." She walked to me and I helped her climb down the ladder.


I got Naomi back to the house and I got Casey out, I got Naomi out and we walked to the door. I left Casey downstairs with Taylor and I walked upstairs. I laid Naomi on my bed, I covered her up in blankets trying to warm her up.


"What're you doing?" I heard Kayla and I looked at her.


"I'm warming Naomi up," I said.


"Why?" She asked. "She said she didn't need you."


"I'm not just gonna leave her too freeze," I snapped.


"Whatever," she snapped and left, I rolled my eyes. I took off my shirt and shoes, I took my pants off and I slid Naomi over. I pulled off the cold clothes she was wearing and I pulled her cold body against my warm body. She moaned and I shivered, I rubbed her back and she snuggled up close to me.


I looked at her face, I brushed her hair back and I touched her cold face. I kissed her head, I closed my eyes and I fell asleep with her.

Naomi's POV


I woke up and I felt someone against me, I saw Jake. I got up and off the bed.


"Hey, what're you doing?" Jake asked in his sexy morning voice.


"Do you think Christy will watch Casey?" I asked.


"Yeah," he said.


"We gotta get ready for school," I said.


"We can miss a day, come get back in bed," he said.


"We have to go to school," I said. "Kayla is waiting for you." I took a shower and I put on some clothes I left here, Jake put his shirt on and grabbed his book bag. We walked downstairs and we got in his car, he drove to school and I walked ahead of him. I didn't need anyone thinking Jake was cheating on Kayla.


The day went by and free time came around, I was sitting down against the wall reading my book. I saw the group and Jake came up with Kayla behind him.


"Jake," she said.


"What Kayla?" He snapped.


"Don't be snapping at me, you were the one touching on her," she shot back.


"I wasn't touching her, I was trying to warm her up," Jake spat.


"She told you she was done with you, why can't you leave her alone?" She snapped, everyone started to look at them, they couldn't see me.


"I wasn't gonna leave her to freeze," Jake said. "Get over it."


"No, where is she now Jake, she ditched you as soon as she used you," she said.


"She respected our relationship," he said.


"She didn't respect yours," she shot back, Jake clenched his fists and his jaw, he gave her a cold look. She gulped, he grabbed her and pinned her against the locker.


"Can you handle that?" He gritted through his teeth. "Can you handle my temper?" He grabbed her and put her back in front of him.


"Yeah," she said. "It's hot." It really is. "Either you can keep me, that treats you better than she did. Or you can her, meals your life hell."


"You're making me choose?" He asked. "Really?"


"Yeah," she said, Jake looked at Aaron.


"You heard her, choose," he said, he looked back at her.


"Ok, see this is what you're making me choose between," Jake said. "You, the girl I've been with for two weeks, you can't kiss, we haven't fucked, I don't have a nickname for you, and you know nothing about me." I felt bad but she needed to get a reality check. "Or Naomi, the girl that I
argue with constantly over pity shit, she yells at me, ignores me, and gets on my nerves." I looked down. "But she's also the girl I've been with for seven months, I kiss her every chance I get and she is good ass kisser, she's pregnant so you know we done something, I have every nickname for her, and she knows everything about me."


"Damn girl, you should've just kept your mouth shut," Simone said, I got up and I walked over to them. Jake looked at me.


"Do I gotta spill my feelings to you too or you're gonna do it to me?" He asked.


"I don't know if I can take that chance again," I said.


"At the ultrasound, the reason I left was because when I heard the heartbeat. I knew, there's really humans in there," he said. "That I have to take care of, I have to grow up."


"I'm sorry, Jake," I said. "I love you but I can't take it." The bell rang and I walked to class and sat down. What did I just do?


~


"Mama!" Casey screamed and cried.


"McKenna, if you don't stop crying," I said in a warning tone, I held my stomach where I was having contractions. Casey kept crying and pulling at my leg. "Casey please." My voice cracked and tears blurred my vision. She calmed down and went to play with her toys. I took deep breaths and the twins calmed down.


I finally got Casey to sleep and I walked to my room, I was trying to fall asleep fast because a storm was starting. I stripped and put on a big shirt, I climbed in the bed and laid down. I gripped the pillow when I heard the thunder, I squeezed my eyes shut. The door opened and my eyes shot open, they walked to my bed fast and climbed up. They got under the covers and they threw their pants and shirt on the floor. The wrapped their arm around me.


"Get off me," I said and he listened, he sat up and started playing with my hair. I started shaking.


"Sh," he cooed. "It's just a storm babydoll."


"Hold me, Jake," I said and started cry, he turned me over and he pulled my close.


"Sh, I got you," he whispered. "I got you." I stopped crying and I stuck my thumb in my mouth, I closed my eyes and Jake backed up. He brushed my hair back and he pulled his hand back, I could feel him watching me but I felt safe in his eyes. I grabbed his hand and put it on my head, he got closer and played with my hair. I finally fell asleep.

Hi penguin ducks! This chapter was so many emotions for me! Sorry this book is like a roller coaster. I love you guys so freaking much with the comments and votes! Just wow!


Ok, time to get serious now. I read every comment about how you liked who I was an everything. It felt so good, you guys are what keeps me going everyday. Not just with writing, but with just feeling good.


I suffer with depression and anxiety, it's hard in high school with it. I have to sometimes force myself to get out of bed because I need my education. I have to struggle with the social anxiety I have. My family doesn't understand it, their words may be jokes but they really hurt. I built a wall around me so no one can get in, because I think nobody will understand what I really feel. I appreciate what I do have and I don't gripe about what I don't have. I still feel alone in this world even around my friends and family, that I'll never be good enough or no one will ever love me. It's hard, you know. I'm not saying there's not others out there that feel just like I do, because there is.


Anyway, I'll see you guys next chapter. Bye.
