Five

Samantha pov's

I went to Becca's house, she needed me right then. She was always there for me and now it's my turn to be there for her, Sean can be a jerk when he wants to. I know he got hotheaded when he found out about the damn pregnancy, but he had no right to do that to her, Rebecca really likes him. Just imagining that this happened because of me, if I had listened and told him before, they wouldn't have fought, if I wasn't so scared, for imagining Sean wanting to kill me, if... damn it! Now there's no point in if, what's done, It's done but I have to find a way to fix it. I can't leave these two apart, they do love each other and I couldn't bear to see my brother always in a bad mood and my friend with red eyes from crying so much.

" Sam?” she calls.

"Hi." I look at her who has her head in my lap.

" I think you better go home. " Becca says.

"Are you kicking me out by any chance?" I joke and she gives a weak laugh.

" Do not. Of course not, I just think you should talk to your brother." Her voice is weak.

"Becca, Sean doesn't…" she cuts me off.

" Please, I'm sorry, but I want to be alone for a while now. Do you understand? " She says low and I end up nodding.

" Yes, I understand. Well, anything just call me." I said and placed a kiss on her forehead.

" Thank you." She said, I just showed her a smile and left, going straight home, without stopping.

Even without wanting to, the tears insist on coming down, I thought my tear quota was over, but no, I was wrong. Knowing that my life will be cut short by something unplanned and unwanted, knowing that my brother and most certainly, my father will be disappointed in me, and that my best friend is suffering because of me - literally - it ends up with me in every way, and I don't know what to do.

I stop the car on a busy street, near a nightclub, lay my head on the steering wheel and try to calm down the crying before continuing the trip to my house. Minutes later someone knocks on the window glass scaring me, I face the man who in turn tells me to lower the window.

" What happened?" I ask.

" You can't park here, can you get out?" he says.

"And why can't I stay here?" I ask.

" Because this place is reserved for club customers, so leave before I call the police." he speaks seriously, I take a deep breath and nod.

"Okay, as you wish." I said and he left.

I started the car, but before I got out, I saw him. He was accompanied, and the woman was beautiful. Brunette and a nice body. I waited for a few seconds before leaving and continued to watch them, until he pulled her by the waist and kissed her.

Damn it.

He's seeing someone and Becca hasn't told me, what am I going to do? I can't be blamed again for another couple breaking up.

"Girl can you leave?" the same guy came back making me scared.

" Sorry, I'm on my way." I said and left, with that image in my head.

What do I do?

I got home around ten-thirty, left the car in the garden and went inside. As soon as I closed the door and turned around, I was startled to see my dad pacing back and forth and Sean in the room. I'm fucked.

They looked in my direction and felt a chill run down my spine, making me swallow hard.

"Dad? Aren't you supposed to be traveling?" I asked quietly.

" I really was supposed to be traveling, but when I decide to spend a day with you, I get some rather unexpected news." he says loudly.

" Sean, why did you tell him? That was my damn thing." I say angrily.

" Are you serious Samantha! You hid it from me, let alone daddy. " he said.

" Of course I would tell him, but you didn't have time. I thought about getting here, talking to you, but I'm done with it!?" I say.

" I couldn't stay silent, I had to tell." Sean said and turned to our father.

" Daddy I can explain. I didn't know this would happen I..." he cut me off.

"You behaved like a bitch Samantha! What did your mother teach you before she left? What have I always told you?” he yelled.

" I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I know that but... Dad, I didn't think about the consequences that could happen." I said nervously.

"Didn't you think? but when it was time to go out there with anyone, you thought, right?" he said as he approached.

" Dad wants to know who he is, and so do I." Sean said.

" I don't know anything about him." I confess.

"What? I don't believe Sam." Sean said.

" Please excuse me, act without thinking, you know? It was just one night, that day Sean, that Becca was in his room and you wanted to boss me around. " I told.

"My God! What's his name? at least his name you know Samantha? " my father asked and I nodded.

" So say the fuck!" shouted Sean and I bit my bottom lip when the tears started to come down.

" J-Jordan." My voice cracked.

" Jordan of what?” Dad asked.

" Brenner, Jordan Brenner." I said and let out a sob.

" Jordan Brenner? Jeremy Brenner's son?” asks Sean.

" I don't know, who knows him more or less is Becca." I say.

"So call her and ask." says dad.

"What? I won't do that." I say and get a scolding look.

" Call now." he says through gritted teeth.

I take a deep breath and pull my cell phone out of my purse and dial Rebecca's number.

ON connection

" Did something happen Sam?" She picks up on the second ring and her voice is cracked.

" My father is here." I said and she sighed loudly.

"What did he say?" she asks.

"Besides calling me a bitch? Anyway, that's beside the point now he wants to know something." I say.

"And how can I help?" asks my friend.

" He wants to know Jordan's father's name." I say.

"Is that all?" he asks.

" For now, yes." I say.

" Well, his father owns a multinational and international company, and his mother is an event organizer, not just any type of event. They're pretty rich and—” I cut her off.

" Rebecca what are the names? She says soon." I speak without patience.

" Jeremy Brenner and Suzan Mark Brenner." she says and I close my eyes.

"Okay, thank you and Becca?-l" I say worried.

" Hi." answers softly.

- Are you okay?- I ask and look at Sean who lowers his head.

" Don't worry about me, you know my nephew will feel it if you stay like that, right?" he says and I laugh.

" He'll be fine, I'll call you later." I say.

- Okay.

OFF connection

The two boring men in my life watch me anxiously, I bite my lip and take a deep breath.

" So... " says Sean.

" His father owns a multinational and international company and his mother is an organizer of very expensive events." I say and my father smiles sideways.

" And what are the names of his parents? " asks my father.

" Jeremy Brenner and Suzan Mark Brenner." I say and Sean widens his eyes and Dad laughs.

" I can't believe he's my boss's son? It's that kid from the mall, isn't it?" Sean asks and even confused I sign.

" Daughter, you found the golden bridge at the end of the rainbow." Dad said and I looked at him confused.

"What? How so?” I asked.

"Dear, at least once in your life, of going to stupid parties, you made a mistake that will earn us a lot." he says.

" I still don't understand." I say.

" I'll go down my level to explain better. Anyway, at least this time you knew who to give it to, and this little thing in there will be a good way for Jeremy and I to close a partnership." I open my mouth surprised and outraged by what my dad just said, I look at Sean and he shows the same reaction.

" Dad, I don't think that's right." Sean says.

"That's not up for discussion, we'll talk to Jeremy Brenner tomorrow, about what she carries in her belly." he says.

" Don't talk about my son like that, you don't have that right." I shout.

"That's what you think, now go upstairs and tomorrow morning be ready to go visit your future father-in-law." he says smiling.

"What? I'm not going to marry Jordan or anything like that." I say irritated.

" I repeat once again: this is not up for debate. Now go up and at nine be ready." he says harshly.

" I hate you, I wish mommy was here!" I scream as soon as I pass him.

"But she isn't, now go up." he says and I start to go up the stairs when he calls me.

"What is it?" I say angrily.

" You'll still thank me for this Sam, I just want the best for you. You'll thank me." he says and I smile wryly.

"So sit back and wait, it won't happen."
