Chapter 10
Someone To Stay [bxb]
Nathaniel
After that day with Lucas. He starts to ignore me, and on top of that it's easier for him since he's got school and everything , while I have work . A job my mother insisted I get to prove that I'm willing to change .
I arrive home once again after dinner, feeling tired as hell. I have been up all day flipping burgers at McDonald's . Not exactly a merry job .
I follow the harshed voices to the kitchen . I find my mom and James whispering to each other , making me gawk at them .
" Keeping secrets now?" I say, startling both of them . James just sighs in irritation while my mother smiles sheepishly.
" Nothing like that ." My mother says defensively, I look at the two suspiciously but decide to just not press on the matter .
I leave them alone and walk my way to my bedroom . Ready to just jump in bed and sleep .
" I have been waiting for you ." Lucas's sitting form on my bed almost gives me a heart attack .
" What the fuck are you doing in the dark?" I switch on the lights, to be met with his red face . " Have you been crying?" I question in concern.
" Yes." He admits, sliding down on the floor and taking his head in his hands . " I'm pregnant ." He whispers.
" What?" I think I don't hear him correctly so I move closer to Lucas, kneeling beside him .
" I'm pregnant, okay? " His head snaps to me , his eyes glistening with unshed tears .
" Okay." I say, not sure what to even say about the revelation. I have so many questions but Lucas doesn't look in any good condition to answer them .
" It is yours." He eventually murmurs, I stare at him in disbelief .
" There's no way you are putting this on me and I'm starting to feel like you are going insane because it is impossible for a guy to get pregnant." I point at his hand over his abdominal.
" I know . I thought so too but it is possible, and you are the only person I have been with." He explains, looking down at his hand .
" Fuck Lucas!" I groan, standing up . Walking around the bedroom while he silently sits on the ground with his hand still holding on his stomach protectively .
" This is crazy!"
" I know."
" I can't do this, I just can't ." I run my hands through my hair " I'm not ready for whatever you are carrying-"
" Whatever I'm carrying is what we both made Nathan. It's the results of that night . And I don't really have the option to terminate it, it's dangerous enough that I'm carrying it inside me ."
" Just leave ." I motion towards the door . Lucas gives me a pleading look but I look away all together .
" I'm scared ." He whispers, prying his hand off his stomach when I look at it too hard. " Please don't do this to me, please Nathan ." He begs .
My heart breaks seeing him like this but a part of me knows better than to fall for it . I can't see myself being a part of whatever he's trying to pull right now . I just can't .
I take him by his arm, he doesn't fight it or anything. He allows me to kick him out of my bedroom and slam the door. ' I'm sorry' I say through the door in a whisper .
