Fate Has A Way

Chapter 5

I felt myself starting to stumble backwards, than I felt a pair of hands grabbing my upper arms lightly to steady me. After righting myself I couldn't make myself look up yet. So I kept staring at this persons chest, this males chest, there was no doubt it was a males chest. In fact in was an impressive chest. My eyes flickered down to the persons nice black dress shoes, going up their legs which they had on a tailored gray suit pants. My eyes quickly went over the person lower half, I moved onto the crisp white button down shirt, to the matching gray suit jacket. Once again this persons suit was designer. I felt so plain compared to all these people.

I couldn't help that my eyes seemed to stay on this persons chest and went to the width of their shoulders. And than traveled up their slightly tanned neck, to their strong jaw and jawline. My eyes moved on to their full lips and the half smirk. On one side of their mouth they had a dimple, I found myself wondering if they had a matching one on the other side. My eyes finally went up to their eyes and I found myself looking into a familiar pair of brown eyes. Eyes I looked into every morning.

I felt like I was in one of those cheesy cliche romance movies, where the man has a hold of you and time seems to stop. That we're the only two people there. I even think my heart and breathing stopped for a few seconds. Than my heart started beating rapidly and I felt lightheaded. There was a lump in my throat. I'm sure my eyes showed shock, sadness, and confusion because it was what I saw reflected in his eyes.

I had to admit he looked good, still sexy as all hell as I remembered from when we broke up. I hadn't seen him since the break-up. I had to admit he had lost most of his boyish looks, oh believe they were still their just more mature.

'But what the hell was he doing here?' I asked myself.

"Maddi?" he whispered, his thick eyebrows furrowing together in confusion.

My eyes closed momentarily as his breath caressed over my face. It took me back to thoughts of the last time we were together.

{FLASHBACK}

I was waiting for Zach at our spot. The place we always went that was 'neutral territory' as we put it, the place where we agreed to never fight, the place we shared secrets at, the place where we smiled and shared tears.

I had taken both the pregnancy tests in the box and they both came back with the same result. Even with Alisha's half-assed warning I had to tell Zach. He needed to know that we were excepting a baby. I don't know why Alisha's warning had rattled me so badly. I mean I knew Zach loved me and we had a strong relationship, that we had been together for years. Maybe it was the fact that I was scared that I might be pregnant, that made me doubt mine and Zach's relationship.

I think it also had to do with the fact that she was trying to ruin our wedding plans somehow. I had just talked to Zach like thirty minutes before and knew that he had just left Alisha's parents house. He had told me he wanted to meet me here right away, that he had something he needed to tell me. I had told him I had something to tell him to.

The sound of twigs snapping behind me brang me out of my thoughts and my head snapping in the direction of the foliage that covered our spot. I watched as Zach came through the foliage there, he had a tired and grim look on his face. As he came nearer to me I tried to give him a real smile. But even I could tell it didn't reach my eyes and it felt strained.

"Hey," he whispered, looking out at the pond.

"Hi," I whispered, grabbing his hand and lacing our fingers together.

We stayed silent for a few minutes with him looking out at the pond and the night sky, deep in thought. Me looking at his side profile, trying to figure out what was going through his head, what was troubling him. I would give anything to be able read his mind.

"She's pregnant," he said quietly breaking the silence, with a grimace. Still looking out at the pond.

'Ok maybe I didn't want to know what was in his head' I thought.

"Excuse me?" I choked out, my grip on his hand loosening.

"Alisha. She's pregnant. She's pregnant with my child," he said, finally looking at me with tears in his eyes.

I know at that I went pale. At that moment I knew everything had changed, that nothing would ever be the same. That what Alisha had said earlier that afternoon was all starting to make sense now. She might be a tramp, but evidently she was an honest one. I realized than that I obviously didn't really know Zach at all. I couldn't believe he would do that to me, to us. Was everything he said and did with me one huge lie? Did he even really love me? I knew that I couldn't tell him now that I was also pregnant. I felt the anger start to boil inside of me and ripped my hand out of his. I stood up and started pacing.

"What?............. How?....... Actually no I don't want to know the how, I know the how........ Why?" I hissed still pacing and biting a nail.

"Baby I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry," he said quietly.

"No you don't get to call me baby. You lost that right Zach," I hissed, turning and glaring at him.

"Baby..... I mean Maddi, it was a mistake. A stupid, dumb, momentarily lost my mind moment," he said, the tears running down his cheeks.

I almost broke at that moment. I so wanted to go over and wipe his tears away and comfort him. The pleading look in his eyes to believe him, to forgive him. But I couldn't, I had to stay strong, for me for our child.

"You could say that," I snapped, than sighed "Maybe. Maybe you should be with Alisha."

"What? No. No I don't want to be with Alisha. I mean yes her parents want me with her. That's what her parents wanted to discuss. Can you believe they actually expected me to call off with you and marry her, just because she's pregnant. I told them no. There was no way I was leaving you for her, even if she is pregnant. I couldn't do that to you. I love you too damn much, Maddi. And I'm so sorry I screwed up baby," he pleaded, jumping up and coming to wrap his arms around me.

I closed my eyes just relishing his breath going over my face, like a soft caress. It was safe and comforting. I wouldn't be able to feel that anymore.

"I'm sorry to Zach. But I can't do that to Alisha, I'm not her. You need to be with her and your child. But I can't stand by and watch that," I choked out, shaking my head.

"Please. Please don't do this Maddi," he begged, bringing a hand up and cupping my cheek.

"I'm sorry Zach. But we're done. Go and be with Alisha," I whispered, closing my eyes.

"Maddison stop being such a bitch about about this," he responded.

{END OF FLASHBACK}

My eyes snapped opened at the resounding sound of a slap being heard. Shaking my head of all thoughts. It was just like that night again and once again ended up with me slapping him. I looked into his eyes again and was the shock from me slapping him again. I would have laughed at look, if I thought I wouldn't go hysterical.

"Oh my, Mr. Parise are you alright?" I could hear Mrs. Jones ask him, but her voice sounded far away.

My eyes flickered over to Mrs. Jones and found her glaring at me. A quick glance around the hallway had me finding whatever people were in the hallway, we're looking at me in shock. I needed to get out of here, he was to close. I was going to have a panic attack if he didn't move away from me. My eyes darted over his shoulder and I could see her fake blonde head headed towards us, I knew it was her. I could pick her out in a crowd anywhere and even years later it didn't matter, I could still pick her out.

'Oh god I have to get out of here' I thought.

"Zach," Alisha's voice whined, coming up to him.

She placed a hand on his shoulder. Zach's hands feel from my arm that he was still holding. Than Alisha's eyes landed on me and narrowed.

"Oh Maddison, what a surprise. What are you doing here?" Alisha asked in a sickly sweet voice.

"I was just leaving," I said quietly, looking down.

"Oh don't leave on our behalf. Ally said you were going to be showing up soon," Alisha laughed, with a fake laugh.

Zach and I both looked at her in surprise. I couldn't believe Ally told her, actually yes I can. Since Alisha was her cousin. But the question was why hadn't Ally told me.

"Oh Ally didn't tell you we were here?" Alisha asked, in fake shock.

I wanted to smack her next with all her fakness. But the voice that came next stopped me. I saw Zach's eyes widen in shock and Alisha sneer at me. I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"Momma look what I made," Avalon said happily, tugging on my shirt.

"That's very pretty baby," I responded smiling, and looking down at her.

"You have a kid?" Zach asked in shock.

"W-we need to leave," I stuttered, looking up at Zach.

I grabbed Avalon's hand and hurried down the hallway.

"Maddi..... Maddison," Zach called after me.

"Just let her go," I heard Alisha's voice say, as I hurried away. I didn't turn to see if Zach followed as I rushed into a bathroom with Avalon. Than slide down the bathroom door.
