Chapter 29: Fight
I am not sure if this is a good idea. Daphne texted to Jeff. Daphne I am not going to try anything. I know you are involved. I just need to...I need to make thing right. I know it's not right to say this but I never got over you. Please just let me have a few hours over dinner to try and make things right.Daphne let a tear escape her eye. She quickly wiped it away then looked to the table where she thought Noah was and was confused when he was there. She closed her eyes. She was not strong enough to say no.
Noah found himself in Emmett's room and he felt awkward. He wouldn't exactly say the he and Emmett were friends. He didn't dislike Emmett, but there was always Bay between them. Emmett turned around and saw Noah looking out of place. "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I need to know what I should do. Daphne is talking to an old boyfriend, Jeff. I don't want to loose her, but I don't know what to do. I don't know how to handle this." Noah looked sincere.
Emmett stood dumbfounded. He didn't know that Daphne was talking to Jeff. He thought she had let him go a long time ago. Emmett always thought it was for the best. The man was a jerk. At least in his opinion. "I can't help. I don't know what you expect me to do." Emmett said. He really didn't want to get involved. This wasn't going to be an easy road if she is in fact talking to Jeff again.
Noah sighed in frustration. "I need some kind of help. I have already talked to Bay. She told me what happened between the two and all that, but you know Daphne better then even me. You where around when all this happened."He shook his head. "Sometimes I wish Daphne was Bay." Noah stood still. He hadn't meant to sign that last part. He had forgotten who he was talking to.
"You still have feelings for Bay?" Emmett asked a little jealous.
"I...Look sometimes I just can't help but wonder. I wonder what it would be like right now if we had stayed together. I love Daphne. She makes my world stop. She is who I feel I will spend the rest of my life with. However sometimes when Bay walks toward me, or when her hand touches mine. I long for her. She has this... this... look she just has something. A natural beauty about her." Noah paused because Emmett wasn't looking to thrilled with him. "I want Daphne. I need her. A couple weeks ago I felt the baby move. My baby move. It was the most amazing thing in the world. Then I thought maybe. Just maybe we can do it. I had never thought of it as my baby before. It was always just a baby. Emmett please.
Emmett was nodding. He wanted to punch Noah in the face for talking about Bay like that, but he also had to appreciate Noah's words. Bay did just have something. Something that didn't have a name to it. He really wasn't sure how he was going to help Noah. When it came to boyfriends Emmett never really got involved and when it did he usually ended up having Daphne stomp away from him.
"I don't know how to help. When it came to boyfriends I was always a little shaky. I think it's a girl thing. Noah you have to talk to her. Show her that you love her and tell her about how you feel about the baby. Just make sure you don't insult Jeff. She won't like that."
"This sucks. I never anticipated this. I never thought that an old boyfriend would come between us. I thought she loved me." Noah shook his head. He just felt so hopeless. "How did you do it? How did you live without Bay? The thought of not being with Daphne." He sighed. "How do you get threw that?"
"It's the hardest thing I ever had to do. That night when I slept with Simone. I was so mad at the world. I was mad at the world so I did something that hurt the one person I love. What I did was inexcusable. Telling her what I did felt like someone stabbed me in the heart. The look in her eyes...When she walked away from me it was like someone was twisting the knife. It never got any easier. Every time I saw her after that it was like the wound was reopened. It got a little better after she seemed forgave me, but she was still never with me. I tried to stay away. I tried to tell her that I can't be with her and not be with her." Emmett smiled. "I couldn't stay away. She has this pull on me. Like gravity. Then I thought I had lost her. When she was under him and he was choking her. That pain. The pain of knowing that if were were just minutes later she would be gone forever. That pain in indescribable. Your world stops. I will forever feel responsible for Bay being with Jason. My one mistake almost cost Bay's and our baby's life. Being without Bay is like being without air. I will spend the rest of my life making it up to her. I will spend the rest of my life loving her. She thinks she is broken. She thinks that she will never be right. But even if it were true. Even if I thought she was broken. I would rather spend the rest of my life picking up the pieces and gluing them back together then have to spend one second without Bay."
Noah didn't know how to respond. He knew that Emmett was in love with Bay, but didn't realize how truly deep it was. Emmett and Bay seemed like an old couple. Like they had been in love in lifetimes before. Maybe they were. He wasn't sure if he believed in past lives or whatever but that is how he could make since of and Emmett have done this before. They have been together in past lives. This was His and Daphne's first time. It didn't mean there love was not true it just meant that they had some growing to do. He had to find a way to talk to Daphne. He had to.
"I feel guilty too." Noah said confusing Emmett. "About the whole Jason thing. I can't help but thinking that if I never left her that she would not have been threw it. I just wanted you to know that I feel guilty to."
Emmett nodded. He never knew Noah felt responsible for that. "Fight for her. Fight for Daphne. You guy's are meant to be together. You're the best she has. Just fight for her." Emmett said. Noah nodded and left. He will fight for her. Even if she strays. He will fight for her. He will fight for him, and he will fight for his baby.
Daphne came home late. She was hoping no one was still awake. She sat in her car thinking about dinner with Jeff. God she had missed him. She had missed him more then she had thought.
She jumped when she saw Bay standing outside her car. Great someone was awake and by the look on Bay's face she was sure Bay knew where she was. Crap. Daphne reluctantly got out of her car. She wasn't going to be able to get out of this one so she might as well get it over with.
"What are you doing?" Bay asked. She knew Daphne knew what she was talking about.
"I don't know what you mean." Daphne said trying to play dumb.
Bay shook her head. "You can't seriously be thinking of leaving Noah." Daphne looked down and guilty. "Daphne!"
"What? So I have a few doubts. So I am a little confused. I am allowed to be. You don't know how I feel so you can't possibly get it!" Daphne snapped. Bay had no right to tell her what to do.
"What are you doing? You know that this won't end well. Daphne he left you. He left the moment things got hard."
"It really is none of your business."
"Bullshit! Noah is my friend and care about him. I care about you. Think about what you are doing. Jeff left. He left Daphne. Noah stayed. When all he wanted to do was run he stayed." Bay waited while what she said sank in. She could tell it was working.
"I love Noah." Daphne sighed. "I love Jeff too. I never stopped loving him and tonight was great. We laughed and talking... And kissed. If it is so wrong then how can it feel so right?"
Bay frowned. Daphne looked so confused. "Does it feel right or does it feel safe?"
Daphne looked confused. "What are you talking about?"
"When Ty came to visit we kissed. I let him kiss me and at first I was upset because it felt right. Like we should be kissing for the rest of our lives. Then I realized that it didn't feel right. It felt safe. Comfortable. Familiar. So does it feel right or does it feel safe?"
Daphne looked down at her shoes. How the hell was she supposed to know? "I don't know. Maybe I should tell Noah that I need a break while I figure it out." The thought hurt worse then she thought it would. Her stomach began to her.
"He wants to keep the baby." Daphne looked at Bay with a questioning look. "He felt the baby move and it changed him. He never thought about the baby as his before then. Like it wasn't real. It was just a baby. He loves you Daphne. The way Emmett loves me. He wants the baby and he wants you. He wants to provide and protect. What does Jeff want? Would he stay with you if you keep the baby? Would he read to it and be a father to it? Noah loves you and he has never let you down. Think about that while your making your choice."
"How did you make your choice? How did you decide to stay with Emmett. He cheated on you. Why did you choose him over Ty?"
"I didn't have a choice. I love Emmett. Even though he cheated on me. He is always on my mind and he is always there for me. Even when I didn't want him to be. How can I fight the magnetic pull? I long for him. The moment I leave his side I can't wait to get back to him. It's like our souls have done this before. Like we will do this a thousand more times. Bay sighed. She didn't know what else to say.
Daphne looked away. She did love Noah and he was a great guy. She was surprised to learn that he wanted to keep the baby. She didn't know yet. Now that he wants to she wasn't sure what she was going to do. Would Jeff stick around and help raise a baby? And what if things get hard. Could she count on him to be there? She wanted to say yes , but her heart knew better. Still, Daphne thought has she headed into the guest house, Jeff was in her heart, and she wasn't sure if he would ever leave.
