THE END OF THE WORLD:
Sorry. I went back out of town. At least I left you with a nice long chapter. I haven't gotten many reviews for the last few chapters. I know that Cappie already woke up but there are bad things I can do for bad reviews and good things I can do for good reviews. I know these past few chapters haven't been as good as the first few but I am dealing with enough emotion in my life right now. I can't deal with much more. Enough of my pointless rambling! On with the latest chapter!
"Rebecca? What are you doing in here?" I asked turning to face the brunette in the doorway.
"I thought you might want this back," she said motioning to the clutch in her left hand. I had lent it to her Friday night.
"Thanks," I mumbled as I reached for the item she was returning.
"Did I hear you correctly? Are you really pregnant with Cappie's child and marrying him?" she asked pulling the small bag just out of reach. A smirk quickly spread from her lips and her eyes brightened like those of a kid in a candy store.
This was gossip gold. If the house knew about it then I would probably have to deactivate. Rebecca's spring break video and that newspaper article had done more than enough to wreck the ZBZ image. A pregnant ex-president would not help anything.
"Rebecca," I pleaded. She knew what damage this could do to me but she didn't think of the damage it could do to the house.
"What's in it for me?" she asked, her smile getting bigger each second.
"What do you want?" I asked cautiously. I had no clue what it would take to keep her quiet.
"I don't know," she answered her smile falling and put the bag in my hand. "I wasn't planning on telling anyone. Do you know what that would do to the house's reputation?"
"Well then can you go so I can call my parents?" I begged.
"Why are you two getting married? When did you even become a couple?" she asked trying to find out all the details.
"If I tell you can you help me keep it a secret as long as I can? This whole thing is just a big mistake," I said trying to explain why all of a sudden I am carrying Cappie's child and marrying him when just two weeks ago I told him I loved him and he practically told me to get lost.
Yeah that news got around the school campus fast. By the next morning everyone knew that I had been caught coming out of a closet with my ex-boyfriend by my boyfriend of the time. I had received the video text from at least twenty people I didn't know. Attached to each text was a simple 'slut' 'whore' or 'bitch'. What they didn't know was that I had gone into the closet with him just to talk and tell him that I still had feelings for him but came out broken hearted.
"Casey? Are you going to tell me?" she asked pulling my attention to the she-devil sitting on the end of my bed.
"Right... Well you know what happened at the party, about the closet and the accident," I said and explained how I became the fiancé of Cappie. I handed her the note and letters. I stopped to let her read it and hear her response.
"OMG! That is so sweet! You two make such a cute couple! He just said 'Casey could have' whenever I said I couldn't do something. That's why I hated you. He always compared me to you and I always fell short. I was never good enough for him," she said not as mad as I thought she would be.
"I always compared my boyfriends or potential boyfriends to him too. I'm sorry if this is too weird for you," I said realizing that I was talking to my new fiancé's ex-girlfriend, the only long term girlfriend after me.
"No. It's okay. I always knew he wasn't the one for me. You belong together," she said happy for me and Cappie.
"Anyway, we were talking about what to tell our parents and I said something like 'what do you want me to do tell them I'm pregnant and forced you into marriage?' and his mom came in and stopped me at 'I'm pregnant' so they think I'm pregnant with Cappie's child," I said but Rebecca interrupted.
"So you aren't really pregnant?" she asked confused.
"No. I am but it's not Cappie's it's Max's. Cappie is going to say it is his," I said hoping that I was done explaining and could call my parents.
"So Cappie is actually doing all of this? He is really going to take responsibility for the kid?" she asked jealous that Cappie was really going to do all of this.
"It's that hard to believe? I was shocked when he agreed to it, but it was all his idea," I said and trailed off. I didn't want to say the rest. I was beginning to doubt that Cappie would keep his promise.
I know that this kind of made Rebecca seem like a bitch at the beginning of the chapter but that is my interpretation of her. While I'm mentioning character personalities, I know that Cappie may seem a little out of character but think about the situation. He almost died, near death experiences usually change people. He is dealing with serious things and he needs to take them seriously. He will be more in character later but I wanted to show the serious side of Cappie. I know it's hard to believe sometimes but he does have one. The next chapter will be out in just a few minutes!
