Don't Let Go
Ex Boyfriends
“Hello Bridget, I heard a little rumor about you, you care to tell me about it?” My heart stopped, everything I wanted to say never came out of my mouth. “What is it Bridge? Cat got your tongue?” Finally I managed to say something,
“What the Hell are you doing here?”
“Well, I just happened to see the news and it mentioned your name and something else. I can’t seem to remember… Do you mind if I come in?” He said with a smirk.
“Actually, I do mind, you need to leave right now before,”
“Before you what Bridget, what could you possibly do to me that is worse than you’ve already done to me?” He pushed me aside and walked into my safe house that I had always loved.
I didn’t know what else to do, I couldn’t think of anything else except, “PAT!!!” I screamed.
Then there was a fast pace of footsteps coming from the other room, “Bridget, what’s wrong? Who’s at the door?” He came over to me and I grabbed his hand.
“Bridge, who the hell is this,”
“Pat,” I hesitated, “This is Eric, Eric this is my boyfriend Pat.”
“Oh, so this is the famous Patrick Kane who knocked up MY girlfriend.”
“Your girlfriend!?” I snapped, “We broke up a couple months ago, remember? I caught you having sex with Ashley… Ring a bell Eric?”
“Yes Bridget, I know I committed an infidelity but I want you back, I need you back! I can’t handle living a day without you!” He took a step closer to me and Pat, “You’re everything to me Bridge, and you always have been, and now we can have a family.” He took another step, I squeezed Pat’s hand but he stood his ground, “I know it wouldn’t be my baby but we can get passed this and live a happy life together.” What has happened to Eric? He has never been this, this, creepy or psycho before.
***PAT’S POV***
This is terrible, I have never seen Bridget so, so scared before. She started out confident but now she was completely behind my back keeping a firm grip on my hand. All I wanted to do was beat his ass right there, but I don’t think the press would be to found of me beating up someone especially before I go back to Chicago, or possibly WE go back to Chicago. I was hoping to ask her to move in with me so I can stay with her the entire time she’s pregnant, and WE could have a family. She was shaking, I couldn’t stand there idly and watch him do this. I turned to Bridget, “Bridget, go in the living room, I need to have a little chat with Eric. She nodded and did exactly what I told her to do.
“Alright Eric, I need three reasons why I shouldn’t kick your ass right now.”
“Well, I love her and I always have. I think that reason should be enough for you.”
He tried to walk past me and I shoved him back, “Well Eric I love her too, I’ve loved her ever since the day I met her, and yes I’ve known her for like 2 months now but still you pulled a dumb ass move and slept with another girl who I’ve heard is a total slut. Oh and I’ve also heard that this has been going on for a couple years now”
I paused and waited for a response, nothing, “And now she has a baby and its mine, now you decide to come back? You don’t really love her, all you want is your fucking 15 minutes of fame where you go and tell the press that I dumped her when I found out she was pregnant so I look like the bad guy. Well guess what that’s not going to fucking happen. So you go and turn around and drive your ass as far away from here as possible, and never come back ok?”
Eric didn’t say a word, he turned around and walked two steps away and stopped. He took a deep breath and turned around and punched me in the face and ran away. That coward, my first instinct was to go after him but I didn’t even though my nose was starting to bleed I was the bigger person. I slammed the door and Bridget came running in.
“Pat! Oh my god! Are you okay? What happened?”
I laughed a little for how much she cared about me even though I’ve been through worse. “Bridge, I’m fine, he just punched me in the face and ran off to where ever he came from.”
She gave me one of the biggest hugs she has ever given me, “Thank you Pat, for everything.” I smiled and kissed her on the top of her head.

That night I decided to take everyone out for dinner, that’s where I was hoping that Bridget would say yes to move in with me back in Chicago. We’ve had a pretty busy couple of months and I’d like to end this summer on a good note before going back.
I decided to take everyone to a nice place called Salvatore’s Italian Gardens. Everyone ordered their meals and ate as we talked about our day but Bridget and I decided to share the boring part of ours and not talk about Eric. Erica was sharing her day but I couldn’t keep my eyes off of Bridget who listened attentively to Erica’s story which usually went on for hours. She was wearing a basic black halter dress that went down to the middle of her thighs. She must have noticed me staring because she looked at me and smiled and went back to listening to her best friend’s story.
It was about half way through our dinner when I decided to make my announcement. Everyone was sitting quietly which made it the perfect time. “Everyone, I’d like to make an announcement.” I said in a clear voice loud enough for only my party could hear. My parents and my sisters put down their forks and knives and stared up at me. I took Bridget’s hand, “Bridge, I know I’ve only known you for a couple of months but I wanted to know if you’d like to move in with me back in Chicago?” A huge smile went from ear to ear on her gorgeous face that I’ve fallen in love with, “Yes Pat! Yes!” She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me, I gave her a peck on the lips and it was hard to let go but I managed.
We stayed for desert just for Jackie and I managed to steal a couple pieces of the chocolate cake she’d been eating. “Hey!” Jackie screamed just because she’d always get very protective of her cake. Everyone laughed and smiled and had one of the greatest times together.
“What the Hell are you doing here?”
“Well, I just happened to see the news and it mentioned your name and something else. I can’t seem to remember… Do you mind if I come in?” He said with a smirk.
“Actually, I do mind, you need to leave right now before,”
