2024-10-29 19:42:56I was very worried that I would find Jared at my condo when I returned home, but luckily he wasn’t there. I let out a huge sigh of relief.
At this second I was super glad that he didn’t have a key to my place. I felt secure being at home. Even though I was just starving a few hours ago, I couldn’t bring myself to eat anything. I had lost any appetite that I had. So I ended up just popping a pill to help with the headache I ended up with from all the crying. I looked in the mirror at myself. I barely recognized myself. I looked awful. I wasn’t someone who cared too much about my appearance but this was almost too much.I cleaned my face up, brushed my teeth and went to snuggle up with my pillows in bed. They comforted me as I cried some more.The next morning I woke up to pounding on my door. My heart dropped. Was it Jared? I wasn’t ready to deal with how I felt yet.I got myself up out of bed and walked to the door. I peeked out the little hole and seen it was Tim! I was beyond relieved to see it was him.I opened the door, “what are you doing here so early? I did give you a key so you could let yourself in and not annoy me with your pounding.” I said with half a smile.“Avery called me. She said I should check on you. But she didn’t tell me why, so I was worried.” Tim then realized I was wearing a huge ring on my finger. “Oh my God. He proposed?!? Why didn’t you call me!?”At that moment, I realized I never took off the ring. I looked at it. It made me burst into tears.My brother was beyond confused, but he grabbed me in for a hug anyways. I may have been the big sister, but my brother always loved and protected me like a big brother would for a little sister. We were very close. We were all each other had left.I could barely get the words out of my mouth to Tim knowing that he and Jared were buddies. I whispered “he cheated on me.”Tim pushed me back but kept his hands on my shoulders then looked me in the eyes. “He did what?” He stared blankly back at me. It just made me cry harder. “I can’t believe it. I can’t believe he would cheat on you.”“You and me both” I sheepishly chimed in.“Did you guys break up? Do I need to go smash his car or something?”He wanted me to leave out a little chuckle or anything except the massive amounts of tears flowing from my eyes, but I just couldn’t. The pain was still raw.Tim pulled me back in for a tight hug. “You don’t want to talk about it yet. It’s okay. I got you.”His words calmed me down just slightly.“I just don’t know what to do.”“You will. Your heart will tell you what to do.”My brother was right. I just had to sit and listen to my heart.Another couple days went by as I focused mostly on my class work from home. I didn’t let myself feel too much since I was all but done with my online class and didn’t want it to affect my grade. The sooner I finish, I can figure out what I want to do. My love life is a mess, but at least I will be well prepared for whatever career path I choose. But then it hit me. I was choosing my education over my love life. The love life I had a HUGE decision to make. In that moment I had realized I made a decision about Jared the day I left his house in a rush. I was just putting off what HAD to happen. A part of me was worried I would cave to his begging. I did love Jared with all my heart. A part of me would always love him. But love wasn’t enough without trust. I had to remember that as I grabbed my keys to make the drive over to his place.Related chapters

I was turning down Jared’s road when I seen someone in the distance. Walking down from his driveway. It was a woman. She had on high heels and one of those bodycon pink dresses on. It was hard to miss since it was barely noon. I slowed my driving to see where she was headed. When she kept walking down the road, I pulled up to her and put my window down. “Hey, do you need a lift somewhere? Those heels look super uncomfortable to be walking anywhere.” I said with as friendly of a smile I could put on. The curiosity in me just couldn’t handle knowing if this was the girl Jared had cheated on me with.“Uhm, actually I would LOVE a drive to the end of the road. There’s a little parking lot there. My boy toy makes me park down there so no one sees my car in his drive.”Boy toy? A rush of anger filled my body. But I had to know more, so I kept my cool.“Does he live up there? It’s such a nice house. I think I went to a party there once.”She had no idea who I was. “Yeah, he produces music o

“Hey Tim, I’m sure your sister has told you about everything and I’m sorry man. But listen, I can’t get ahold of her and I think someone should check on her after today.”My sister has never ignored my calls before so I thought I’d give her a ring and see if she wanted me to come over. God only knows what could have happened today for Jared to give me a text. Must have been pretty bad for him to text me after I found out he cheated on my sister. I shot her a text. Nothing. I waited another 10 minutes… and still nothing. So I thought “let’s give her a ring.” Straight to voicemail.. Alright. Must have been really bad. I’ll just go over to her place. I just have to remember my key this time just in case she doesn’t want to answer the door. Pulling into my sister’s I was relieved to see her car in the lot. That’s was a good sign. I knocked on her door, but no answer. Well, good thing I brought my key, I thought to myself. I opened the door… but the condo was empty. I double checked ever

I woke up the next morning with a killer headache. “I guess this is what a hangover feels like” I thought to myself. I rolled over to find that I was not in bed alone. Oh my God. What the hell happened last night. The last thing I remember is Will putting me into his car. I must have blacked out or something. I started getting nervous. That’s when I heard my bedroom door creak open. “I thought I heard you get up. Here, take these for your hangover.” I moaned and held my palm up to my forehead. Then I proceeded to point next to me. That’s when my brother grinned and said “Will brought you home and you decided to thank him.” My mouth gaped wide open and I started to panic. Tim starts howling with laughter- which only made my head hurt more. “I’m kidding. You had a breakdown. Of course I’m going to call the one person who can help fix you.” That’s when the person under the sheets rolls over and smiles widely at me. “Now that is what I call a night to remember- or in your case- forget

A week went by. I heard keys jamming into my condo lock… which meant only one thing. My brother was here. “This place is oddly clean for her being a wreck and all.” I heard him say. “Shh. She can probably hear you, you asshole.” That was definitely Avery. That’s when they both made it to my room and realized I had not left my bed in a week. “Holy shit Becca! Have you been in bed for an entire week straight?!” At that moment, I started to cry. I have no idea why, I just did. I hadn’t cried all week, but now, I just felt like I needed to.“Alright Tim. I got this. You go do whatever needs done around here.”“Thank God.” Tim mumbled.“Alright. Have you even eaten anything this week?” I shake my head no. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Avery so angry. “How on Earth are you going to be okay if you don’t eat?! I know you’re hurt. But that’s no reason to punish yourself!” “I just don’t have an appetite. Thinking about eating make me sick.” I replied. Avery started to calm down when sh

I froze. Pregnant? I didn’t plan for this. What on Earth am I going to do? I had so many questions buzzing around my head. I couldn’t think straight. I then blurted out “I need a shower.” Avery looked confused but she helped me to the bathroom hoping I would have something more to say. But honestly, I had no idea what to say. Then everything went black.“What the hell happened?!” My brother yelled as he heard the thud in the bathroom. “I think she passed out!” Avery yelled “Should we take her to the Emergency room?” Avery thought for a second, “Definitely.” Tim carried me out the door to his truck, where Avery sat in the backseat with me. All Avery could think was that there could be something wrong with the baby… but she couldn’t tell Tim that yet. She couldn’t be the one to tell him that his sister was pregnant. When I woke up, I was beyond confused. I remember Avery telling me I was pregnant… then nothing. I still don’t know how I feel about that. But now I was definitely i

“Looks like you get to go home tonight.” The nurse said after starting the process of removing my IV. “Please stay hydrated and take care of yourself so you don’t end up back here.” She scolded me like a mother would her child. “Thank you” I replied. She smiled and continued removing my IV. As soon as the discharge papers went through, Tim took me home. Avery left not long after her discussion with Jared. She was hoping to give me some time with Tim in case I wanted to tell him my little secret. To be honest, I wasn’t sure that I was ready. I barely believed it myself. But then I’m sure it won’t get any easier as time goes on. So I decided I would tell him when he got me back.We walked into my place and instantly my heart started to beat faster. I was actually nervous to tell my brother. I guess it was because I had no idea how he would react. Would he want me to tell Jared right away? Because I was definitely not ready for that confrontation. “Tim, there’s something we need to ta

It’s been a couple of days since my hospital trip and I had woke up this morning with more energy than normal. I was already making sure that my day consisted of a healthy diet and plenty of extra water. Of course that meant I was running to the bathroom more, but oh well. I had to get my ducks in a row since I was pregnant. I had finished all my online courses and now I needed to start looking for a job that could benefit me- just as much as I could benefit them from being there. I had no idea what I was looking for. I extended my knowledge base by taking so many different classes that I wasn’t sure what to focus on. I did know that I wanted to be able to work from home when needed. That would benefit me for when I had my doctors appointments, if I felt sick, and maybe after the baby came so I didn’t have to lose my career on maternity leave.I scrolled tons of job listings and nothing seemed to fill the bill. There wasn’t anything that stood out and peaked my interest. I shut my lap

I arrived at the RU building. It was absolutely amazing. I had to go through the front gate to get to the parking lot. I told the security guard my name and why I was here. He must have had to call someone to verify, then he let me through. The building was immaculate. And I say “building” lightly too since it was more like a high-tech campus. I’ve drove past this place many times, but this time it was surreal. I could actually work at this place.I parked my car in the lot and made my way to the front entrance. It reminded me of one of those grand hotels we used to stay at when I was young. My mom always was on business and would be able to bring my brother and I with her. Thinking of her sense of pain through my brain. I quickly moved on from the thought of her in order to make sure I was in my right mind for the interview.Anita was waiting for me as I walked though the turning doors. She was a tall blonde, maybe in her mid 40s. She had a very welcoming smile on her face which was

It was no surprise when we got to the restaurant later that night that the entire place was booked out for just us. When we walked in, the wait staff took our coats and led us to the back of the restaurant where there was a view of downtown out the window. Will and I were the last ones to arrive. Sitting at the table were no other than Jared and Megan, Will’s dad, Tim and to my shock- Avery! She must have realized that her presence was a surprise so she got up quickly from her seat to rush over and give me a hug. It was definitely too long this time.. definitely considering that SO much has happened since the last time I had seen her. “How long are you in town?!” I asked her excitedly. “Only tonight actually. I have a guest lecture that I leave early in the morning for… my flight leaves at 3 in the morning so I’m staying at the airport.” I was so excited to see her, even if it was just going to be for a couple hours. Next to stand up was Tim. “I guess since I surprised you with A

The next morning I realized Will had never stopped in after he was down at the hospital. I looked at my phone, but there weren’t any messages. I felt a thousand times better this morning. I walked over to the bathroom to brush my teeth and whatnot and walked back to my room to change. I had an appointment I had to get ready for today. After getting myself ready I walked out to the kitchen. I was really in the mood for cereal this morning, which was super odd for me, but went with it anyways. When I turned the wall to my kitchen, there was Jared. I jumped. I didn’t realize he had stayed the night. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. Will text me last night and said he wouldn’t be able to take your to your appointment today, so I should stay to keep an eye on you.” I wasn’t sure if I was more mad at Will for texting Jared instead of me, or that he told him he should stay. “I promise you that I slept on the couch.” Jared said seeing that I was upset. “I was planning on staying un

Will and I did not waste any time. The next morning we started going to open houses in the area. Considering my hefty inheritance, we really didn’t need to be approved for a mortgage. Will obviously had a lot of money saved from working and he had a trust his dad had given him when he turned 25, which he didn’t touch at all yet. So we could look at anything we wanted. I wanted a three bedroom but Will wanted something bigger. He never said it out loud, but I could tell that he wanted kids… a few at least. I wasn’t sure if I was ready for more beyond this one just yet. Since I wasn’t allowed back at work yet, I decided I would kind of make this my priority over the next couple days. I would check out each property I loved and write a pro and con list to each one. I already found a spare binder to organize from my favorite down. As I put in the last listing into the binder, I realized how ridiculous I was. I was going stir crazy not being at work. That’s when I got a phone call from t
The Perfect Disaster Chapter 39
Will and I both woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. It was Glenn. “Will, are you coming back to the hospital? Sarah is really hoping that you will help her with her session today.” I could hear him say through the phone. “Also, have you talked to Becca? I haven’t heard anything and wanted to make sure she was okay.” Will grinned. “She’s right here dad. She’s doing fine.” “I’m sorry. Did I wake you guys?”“No worries Dad. We needed to get up anyways.” It was definitely the truth. We both slept way longer than we meant to. “Can you tell Glenn that I send my paperwork in today?” Glenn must have heard me because before Will could say anything back to me, or to him he was scolding me.“Will, I told her that work is the last thing she needs to focus on right now. She needs to take a week or two and rest. We will talk about work when I am ready to.” Will chose not to repeat his dad back at me since he knew I heard him through the phone. I shifted to the edge of the bed. I reall

I woke up groggy in a hospital bed. “Wait. I thought I was here for Sarah..” I thought to myself. I looked at myself. I was in a gown. I had an IV in one arm and a blood pressure cuff on the other. Will was sitting on one side of my bed… and Jared on the other. “Wait. Did I just see Jared. No. It can’t be.” I was still thinking to myself. “The baby. Oh no.” That’s when the monitor started beeping and both men realized I was awake. Jared yelled for a nurse. “Becca, calm down. Everything is okay.” Will’s words alleviated some of my stress. He grabbed my hand and gently touched my face, trying to comfort me. Jared had found a nurse and they came into the room. “Alright honey. The doctor will stop in in a little bit to explain more in detail, but you have high blood pressure. Has your OB mentioned it to you at all?”“They were watching it, but nothing was said or done about it.” I was still a little out of it. “Okay, well we have you started on an IV dose to help get that pressure

I wash just washing my hair as Will stepped into the shower behind me. He wrapped his arms around my pregnant belly and kissed my shoulder. I couldn’t believe how madly in love I was with this man after only a short few months. I grabbed his arms with my arms and held on tight. This feeling was one I wanted to soak up. I’ve never felt so loved and so safe in someone’s arms. Soapy hair and all, I turned around to face Will. His eyes were gleaming with happiness and love. I wanted to stay in that shower all day. Then my stomach let out a super loud growl. Will started to laugh. I just realized how hungry I really was. “I will get you something as soon as we finish in the shower and make our way back to the hospital.” Will said as he moved a strand of soapy hair away from my eyes. I honestly had almost forgotten about going back to the hospital. “I guess really great sex can screw with your mind too.” I thought to myself. We both finished up in the shower rather quickly to make sure w

After the doctor’s updated us about the completion and succession of Sarah’s first phase, I asked Will to take me home so I could nap. I found it hard some days to not take at least 30 minutes if not an hour during my day to relax and sleep. I was guessing it was all about my body doing so much extra work for the baby. Will explained to his dad that I rode with him this morning, and Glenn pretty much pushed us out of the door and told us to go eat and get some sleep. He was going to go do the same. Sarah’s next phase was going to take 14-18 hours. They actually had doctors coming in to relieve the others halfway through. We all decided to come back in about 12 hours and see if we could get an update at that point. A part of me felt so sorry for the amount of pain Sarah would wake up with, but knowing she was doing this for her kids proved to me that a mother’s bond will overcome any obstacles.Will and I both went back to my place and we were barely in bed for more than 5 minutes bef

We both woke up to the sound of Will’s alarm blaring. It was definitely a morning I didn’t want to leave bed… but for multiple reasons. Will turned off his alarm and I scooted over so he could cuddle me. After last night, I had no idea why I didn’t jump his bone the first time I thought about it. Sex with Jared was great, but this was an entire new level. “I really want to lay here with you all day… but I really want to go to the hospital today too and celebrate the procedure.” I spoke softly since we both were barely awake. Will ran his hand down my body and landed on my stomach. His hand lingered as if he was waiting to feel a kick. “I love you Becca.” He looked me in the eyes as those words slipped off his lips. I could barely believe myself as I didn’t hesitate to say it back. I was almost shocked that I actually loved this man after this short amount of time. Will kissed my forehead then started to get up from the bed. If we both didn’t get up and get ready, we would both be l

Will and I both made it to the couch. We were kissing each other like this was our last night we had to live. The intensity of each kiss grew. As he sat down on the couch, I draped each of my legs around his. His hands reached for my back to pull me in closer as mine went for his hair. I pulled gently, and I teased him by slightly biting his lip. We both grinned devilishly at each other. He slide his hand up my back and grabbed some of my hair this time. That’s when his kisses moved from my lips to my neck. I had almost forgot how amazing that could feel. I let out a slight moan and I instantly felt a jolt going through Will’s body. I was positive we were on the same page tonight. Will kept moving his lips down my neck and he reached my chest. I had put button up pajamas on after Tim had left, but luckily I wasn’t wearing a bra. Tim ripped my shirt off and started sucking my nipple. My nipples were so much more sensitive right now being pregnant and all but I definitely was enjoying i
