Chapter Forty Five
By the time I got home, I had a bunch of messages from my friends, asking if I was ok and why I hadn’t come back to class. I had a message from Raven too, asking If I wanted to join everyone for dinner tonight, ‘’Her treat’’. I just replied with a simple ‘’no thanks’’ and turned my phone off again.
If I didn’t, they would just keep texting.
Walking into the house, it was empty. Mum and dad were still at work. I just went into the kitchen and grabbed a can of Coca Cola from the fridge before heading up to my room. I dumped my bag on the floor and slammed the door shut with my foot as I walked through.
I took my shoes off and got on my bed, laying down and closed my eyes.
Chapter Forty SixThe week seemed to fly by within a blink of an eye. I hadn’t seen Toby outside of school, however, we had been texting pretty regularly, even a few times within school hours, but it never really went further than that. There was a little flirting but really, it was almost like I was getting to know him again, falling for him again, and honestly... I wanted him back, but he hadn’t really said anything to the contrary and while there was a little bit of flirting… he would promptly change the subject.…but it was clear there was still a deep connection there.My parents were going to invite Toby themselves, but I told them I’d do it. In all fairness, I had no idea why they were even having a BBQ. They hated them, the food took forever to cook, the weather no
Chapter Forty SevenThe day of the BBQ came and as expected, I was far from excited… or happy about it. I couldn’t exactly miss it. It was at my house and my parents would kill me if I bailed. I had told my parents I was fine with the fact they wanted Toby here so… I couldn’t exactly change my mind now, could I?I had decided to temporarily blocked Toby’s number after the very awkward and embarrassing incident. I didn’t really have anything to say to him and I didn’t want to hear anything he had to say to me… Not right now at least.Just when everything was starting to get better, it went to shit again. Even though he’s dead. Jason is still ruining my life. All this is his fault. My fears, my need for therapy, my PTSD... My trou
Chapter Forty EightWhen i went down, I said my hello’s and gave my hugs to the guys and then grabbed a can of Pepsi and went to sit down by the pool. The weather was actually surprisingly nice and warm, so I took my shoes off and sat with my feet in the water. If the weather stays nice, I’d go for a swim later on this evening, when everyone has left.No one came over and bugged me, they just left me alone, which I was really glad about. I didn’t want to be rude and ignorant, but I also didn’t want to fake being happy when I clearly wasn’t.I stayed where I was until dad announced the food wouldn't be too long. I reluctantly decided to go and join everyone and wouldn’t you know it, conveniently, the only free seat available was the one right next to Toby. Sitting
Chapter Forty NineThe night continued and eventually, at about 10 o'clock, my parents went inside to settle down and get ready for bed, but me and the guys stayed outside. My parents said they could stay over, I mean, we had enough room for them all. As soon as my parents were gone though, I instantly felt a bit more comfortable. Sure, I had nothing against my parents being around, it was just better when they weren’t. I had a beer... And then two, and soon enough, I started feeling a bit more whimsical.As the night got later though, We headed inside the house so we didn’t disturb any of the neighbours. I closed the lounge doors so that we also wouldn’t disturb my parents, although they were both such deep sleepers that I doubted that would have been a problem.Ryder suggested o
Chapter Fifty** A few days later **I was looking at myself in the mirror, trying to convince myself that I looked good. I was wearing a black strapless dress, a grey cardigan and some Wedge-heeled shoes. I was getting ready for my date with Toby but I was so nervous. I don’t know why, I mean, this wasn’t our first date or anything but it was the first date we had had in a very long time.My parents knew we were going out together tonight, of course. It made things slightly easier, not having to lie. It wasn’t like I flaunted it, especially not in front of dad, but mum had asked me pretty much every day leading up to now what I was planning on wearing tonight.I ha
Chapter Fifty OneAfter pouring a second glass of wine, it was clear that I was either getting a taxi home or staying the night. Both of which I was fine with, but of course, the latter was what I was hoping for. I had a little sip before placing the glass back down and scooting closer to Toby. He placed his hand on my knee and squeezed it. I rested my hand on his cheek and pulled his face closer to mine, planting a soft loving kiss on his lips…..It escalated from there and before I knew it, I was lying under him and he was taking his shirt off. I wrapped my legs around his waist and his hand slid up my naked thigh, getting higher and higher.Good job I wore a dress.As his hand got closer to their destination, He stopped and pulled away
Chapter Fifty TwoThe sunlight woke me up out of my sweet dreams. I blinked a few times as my eyes opened and let out the happiest sigh. I felt the weight of an arm around my waist and turned over, to face Toby. He was still fast asleep and he looked so peaceful. I raised my hand and stroked his face. As if he knew it was me touching him, he smiled but he stayed asleep.I leaned forward and placed a small but loving kiss on his lips before turning back around and raising his arm. I slid out of the bed and picked up Toby’s shirt, Slitting it on and doing a few of the buttons up, covering myself, I headed downstairs.My mouth was so dry, I wasn’t sure if it was the alcohol or just the heat, but I needed a drink.Walking down the
Chapter Fifty ThreeI stayed at Toby’s for the whole weekend and it was the best time of my life. We spent the days hanging out with the guys and being social and our nights together in bed. He cooked for me Saturday night, and then I cooked for him on Sunday. We didn’t go out, mainly because for obvious reasons, we couldn’t risk being seen. I mean... Here in town, he was my teacher.Seeing the guys later on, after they had walked in on us was so embarrassing, but they made a few jokes and the guys strangely gave me some awkward compliments and then after that, all was forgotten. I had a feeling Toby probably got more of a tease about it than I did though.… But sadly, all too soon, we had to return to the real world and when Monday morning rolled around, It was time to get up an
THIS IS JUST EXTRA INFORMATION. PLEASE DON’T READ IF YOU THINK IT'S A CHAPTER! So, there you go, the story is over. I’ll be honest after Toby left, I had no idea where the story was going, throwing in the pregnancy was a spur of the moment choice I made very late at night when I was trying to figure out How I wanted this story to end.I had a massive amount of people complaining that one of my other books was ‘’unfinished’’ because it was left on a cliffhanger, much like this story has been. There will be a sequel, but please know it won’t be out for a while. I have a few other books I need to work on first. I need to write the third book in the Outlaw Series as well as TRY and figure out if I have enough ideas for a third book in t
Chapter Seventy Three -- Final ChapterNaturally, the first thing I did when I arrived in town was to try and call Toby, but it went straight to answer phone. I texted him a few times and gave him a chance to respond while I went and checked into the hotel I had booked for me and Axl. I figured it was probably best so that if Toby needed time to process everything, then we wouldn’t be crowding him. It was only booked for afew days, but I could always extend our stay if I needed to.…but hours had passed and he hadn’t even viewed the messages.What was going on? Was he just not interested in hearing from me anymore? Maybe his choice to not contact me wasn’t for time and space... Was it simply because he didn’t want to?
Note: Due to the negitive reviews after this chapter, I feel I need to make one thing clear, this book ends on an unexplained cliffhanger, meaning while the ending might seem "out of character" for Toby, remember that! It IS out of character for him, so thus, there must be a reason for what happens. Bare thst in mind please before leaving damaging reviews and remember there will be a sequel to clear all that up. I thought it would be obvious, but apparently not.. Enjoy! :) Chapter Seventy Three -- Final Chapter Naturally, the first thing I did when I arrived in town was to try and call Toby, but it went straight to answer phone.

Chapter Seventy OneThe day finally came. I had been planning it with my mum for the past few weeks. The flight was in a few hours, the hotel was booked, everything was sorted. She did try and convince me to leave Axl behind and just go alone, but as much as I know she was trying to make it easier for me, I couldn’t leave him behind, even for afew days.She and dad were driving us to the airport. I panicked a little bit when I realized that we were flying and the baby didn't have a passport, but that was sorted out, no problem, and now, we were both ready to go on our adventure and find Toby.It shouldn’t be that hard. I’d just call him and we could figure it out from there. I was saying basically in the same place me and my parents stayed before, so I knew my
Chapter Seventy** A few days later **I was finally home from the hospital and as I thought, things were different. Dad doted on Axl, and he had been a lot nicer to me too. It was nice for things not to be like they were. I was really worried things would never get back to normal and now, well, they were even better than normal even was!While I was in the hospital, recovering a little, mum and dad put the cot together in my room for me. I had left it till the last minute to do it myself, but in all fairness, he was a few weeks early. Even with him coming earlier than expected, I had sat down and discussed with my parents that I was going to still wait till after Graduation to leave town.They knew of my plans from the day Toby left, when
Chapter Sixty NineDad got me to the hospital in record time and mum was already there waiting for us. She worked close by, but even so, that was pretty impressive. They took me into an examination room to check me over and apparently, I was already pretty far along with the labour. I was 7 cm dilated, which meant it was nearly time.I wasn’t sure if I was even ready for this.Mum was going to be there with me in the delivery room, Dad was going to wait outside. I don’t think he was ready for this either. As they wheeled me past time, heading up to the delivery suite, I could tell by the look on his face, this was a changing point.Things were going to get better after this. I just knew it.
Chapter Sixty Eight*** A Few More Months Later **Graduation was fast approaching, it's all you could hear about in school, but luckily I wasn’t there much of the week anymore. My due date was moved up to before graduation now and being so heavily pregnant, I wasn’t really required to attend, as long as I collected school work to complete at home, but I rarely did that anyway.If people weren’t talking about me already, they surely were now, and I couldn’t give a fuck. Apart from the obvious things, I was pretty happy with my life, for the most part, and while people were picking what colleges they were going to and what they planned to do after High School, I knew what I was going to do… I was going to be a mother.
Chapter Sixty SevenWalking into the house, I called out to see if mum and dad were home yet. Mum called back that she was in the kitchen, and I headed over. I asked where dad was and she said he was still at work. Good, it meant I could share the good news with her.‘I thought you were staying at the other house tonight?’ I smiled and put the shopping bag down on the side.‘I am, but I forgot to pack some clothes that actually fit’. She chuckled. ‘I have something to show you!’. I told her, unable to hide my excitement. She stopped what she was doing and turned to look at me, waiting. I opened the bag and pulled out the little blue sailing boat onesie and she gasped, covering her mouth.
Chapter Sixty SixThe day dragged on and on and even when school was over, it still didn’t end. The phone call from the doctors was to remind me of an appointment I had, that admittedly, I had forgotten about, and then I still needed to go home and get clothes too.The Business just never seems to end these days. There's always an appointment or a job or something that needs doing. I was just trying to get through and make it till graduation. If I wasn’t allowed to drop out and the school was clearly not going to kick me out, I had to graduate… and then I could leave. I could go and find Toby……I wasn’t stupid, I know there is a good chance he was not going to be waiting for me. By the time I’m actually able to go, We would have been apart for a very long time
