Chapter 107: 107

"You, ok?" Eric asked.

My entire body was shaking but it was not in fear but the way he talks just out of my thinking. Did he just mention Eric being my boyfriend? And if he thinks I have a boyfriend how on earth he was having sex with me for five years. How on earth I was living under the same roof for five years? Just how?

"Chloe?" he asked again.

"Yeah, I’m ok."

I was trying too hard to breathe while he was rubbing my back gently.

"Because of my pregnancy it is a bit hard for me." I said while he didn’t react much as I already told him the moment, I got my results and he was happy knowing I will finally get what I want. My first love.

"How did they let you know?" he asked.

"I lied to them." I smiled.

"Lied? What do you mean?" I asked.

"I lied that I’m not pregnant." but soon I stared down, controlling my emotions.

"Why? Why did you do that? You finally got to be with him then why? What made you act this way all of sudden when you never ever thought of doing this ever." he showed his concern.

"You know what now nothing is the way I wanted anymore."

"When I was in school, I used to look at him from afar knowing what would happen if he knew about me but now this is not what I want anymore. That day when he proposed to me in school because he wanted me to stay out of his brother’s life and if I would just reject him that day then I suppose I would have never come this far ever." I spoke.

"But?" He still wanted an answer.

"No buts. I can live alone as I always liked staying alone. Being alone is fun and my job is freelancing as well so it’s nothing tough for me." I said while he drove me to the airport.

The thought still lingering in my head. How will mom and dad react? I didn’t even give them any clue till now. But what if they get made and tell me to break all ties with them? I don’t think they will do it but still I’m getting scared.

"Here, we reached", he said and walked me inside.

I snapped out of my thoughts and got down but still there is some lingering feelings keep roaming inside me. I kept looking behind in hope of seeing him. I’m clearly dying to see him. My eyes kept on searching for him as if I had finally lost my mind. As if I finally lost my heart to him completely as well as the common sense.

What the hell did you make me?

How could you be so cruel as I was never a thing for you?

Just how on earth could you do this to me?

But still how does my heart still telling me I love you? Why?

"Chloe, we are running out of time." Eric said while I went inside to get my boarding pass.

Eric waved his hand to me. He kept telling me to call when I reached. He kept telling me he will visit me when he gets time but I hope he always stays with me just like he is with me now.

Few days later

"Mom"

"Dad"

"I have something to talk about."

It has been a few days since I came here but I still couldn’t gather the courage to talk to them.

"Yes, say", Dad said while he was doing some of his work on pc.

"Not like this." I spoke.

"Keep the work away then I will say. It is important." as I said dad kept his things away while mom too came sit beside me and looked at me attentively.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

My heart kept on beating louder than usual making me scared enough to shut my mouth now and run without thinking of any consequences.

"I’m pregnant", I finally said.

"Can you repeat again?" they asked in a calm tone.

"Whatever you heard is correct. I’m pregnant." I spoke.

"I don’t know what you think of me but if you oppose me I better live now." I said and tried to get up when mom held my hand and made me sit.

"How long has it been?" she asked. I’m really shocked why she didn’t ask who.

"Four months", I said while mom hugged me.

"It has been tough right?" I’m shocked.

"It must have been shocking but I’m still glad you told me without delaying any longer." Mom kept on caressing my hair while dad was too stunned to speak.

"Dad?" I called.

"Oh sorry, I’m just not sure how to react." he has tears in his eyes.

"I know I have no right to say this but you really grew up so beautifully and now you are having a baby also. I will not even ask who it is or how this happened as if you came here then I’m sure you have your decisions but we will support you." he said making my eyes filled with tears.

I don’t know why they are so supportive or why I am so doubting but I can sure say this much that they are so good. I know they were not with me in my childhood but I’m glad when I needed them, they stood by me and said things which I wanted to hear like crazy.

All I wanted to say I’m so freaking thankful to them but my voice is not coming out but I kept on hugging them for a while.

"Let’s go to the hospital tomorrow", Dad said.

"Why?"

"For your checkup. I don’t know how long you have been but I want to be sure about your condition as well as the child’s so as quick I can I can finally breathe in peace." he said, making me chuckle.

"Mom, was dad always like this?" I asked.

"Yeah, he was always like this. When you were about to be born, he almost took the home to his head acting all crazy. He started taking me for checkups each week. Can you believe each week?" as she said I’m too getting an idea how much of a crazy person dad is.

"Honey, who says this about her husband?" dad said.

"Oh, honey I forgot you have become grumpy now so I shouldn’t tease you anymore or what if you get angry and I can’t convince you like usual?" she said, raising her brows when I chuckle.

"Honey, you think I’m grumpy? Gosh that is so mean!" he pouted which I had never seen which made me laugh out loud. I laughed continuously till tears started coming out of my eyes but soon the happy tears converted into sad tears.

I cried out loud while I could feel Mom and Dad looking at me with worry. But still my tears didn’t stop but it kept on continuing for a while. I kept on seeing his glimpse right in front of me, making my heart ache like crazy. I kept on seeing his smile when he genuinely laughed.

I miss him.

I freaking miss him so much that I could die.

Soon I closed my eyes and fell asleep on the couch.

But as I found myself in dream land, I saw him extending his hand toward me and said, "Baby, let’s go home." I took his hand and walked with him but in just four steps he disappeared.

"You trusted me so soon?" I saw him beside me.

"Poor you Chloe. How could you trust me when I was the one who placed your sleeping pictures on the school notice board? Did you forget?" he was laughing at me.

"James," I called.

"Yeah baby, I’m James. And you know me I’m not the one who I seem right?" he smirks.

"You think I love you?" he said.

"Yeah, you do. You love me tons." I said like how my teenage self-used to act.

"No baby, I don’t. Being with you was only a bet. And I won the bet so there is no need for you in my life so I should discard you right?" I can’t hear any of this anymore.

It is getting painful for me.

"Chloe"

"Chloe"

"Chloe"

I woke up from my dream while I saw Dad was cleaning my sweat while sitting beside me.

"Oh, did I wake you up?" he sounded sad.

"No, I wake up by myself." I said and sat.

He placed his glasses properly and patted my head.

"I have no idea how you went through things but I hope from now on you will share everything with me. I would love to hear your stories even if it is sad." he said and this is the first time I ever talked with dad alone.

I’m glad.
