Chapter 35

I know I make bold choices so don't hate me after this chapter lol I had some time and half of this done the other day so I finished it on my lunch break.

Phoebe POV

Planning my wedding has been such a blast, the only thing that has been bothering me is that Sarah, my best friend in the whole world hasn't been around to share this with me. We have been best friends since high school and it feels like she has been avoiding me. It's like ever since I got married she has been absent from my life. I get that she is still single but I still have plenty of room for her in my life. I go over to her apartment to knock on her door to talk to her about it.

She answers, "Hey Phoebe."

"Hey Sarah, where have you been? What's going on with you?"

"I've just been going through a lot." I can see that but what I don't get is the look in her eyes. There is something she's hiding from me.

She starts bawling, "This is going to take a long time to get out so please just listen to everything before you hate me…. Do you remember that night that you and Jay had that huge fight about him getting too drunk at bars with his teammates while you were in Seattle attending a family function? Well Jay was drunk and I had a fight with Kyle and went over to your place not remembering you weren't there. I was bawling, he was angry and drunk. We got drunk together and we had sex. I'm pregnant and I don't know if Kyle or Jay is the father. I'm so sorry! He woke up and freaked out, next thing I know you guys were running off to Vegas getting married before I could even tell you anything."

Omg my heart has been ripped out of my chest, Jay the only man I've ever loved cheated on me with my best friend and she might be pregnant with his child. I can't breathe. My anger takes over and I punch her in the face before running out to my car. He never told me about this, I can't believe he would do this to me. Jay and I have been together since I started college in NYC, and now this is all over with.

I don't think I could ever forgive him for this betrayal.

When I get back to our place Jay is waiting there and has a nervous look on his face when he reads my expression. I waited until I got home but now I can't stop my tears from flowing. I quickly head into our room and start packing all my shit, throwing it in suitcases.

"Phoebe baby, what is going on?"

"Jay I never want to see your face again!" I take my rings throwing them to the ground.

"I've been nothing but faithful to you and madly in love with you! You repay all this by fucking my best friend and never telling me about it!"

I've never seen Jay cry but tears are definitely falling, "Pheebs I'm so sorry, I was so drunk and we had that fight. I wasn't thinking clearly. When I woke up I just cared about making things right with us, I couldn't bear the thought of losing you. I would never cheat on you intent ally. Please baby you have believe me, you have to forgive me."

I call my Johnson my security to please help me carry my things out to my car. Jay tries grabbing my arms to get me to stay..

"Don't touch me!" I shout as I leave.

Johnson my security guy looks like The Rock's twin. He is a built beast of a man and he stares Jay down warning him to back off. We load up my stuff and head back to my family's house on the sound.

Theo POV

Kelly has all of my stuff packed for Tokyo; maybe I should show up at Lexie's and ask her to join me. Maybe that's what we need, a getaway to get things back on track like we did when we spent that week in Malibu, that was one of the best weeks of my life. This place we are in right now is taking its toll on me. I can hardly concentrate during my important meetings. I grab a beer from the fridge and sit at the breakfast bar. Maybe I should check on Lexie, I'll never forget the look in her beautiful green eyes when she left that morning.

I text her, "I'm going to Tokyo for business and I won't be back for about a week. I just wanted to make sure you are okay?" T*

"Safe travels don't worry about me." L*

That's all I fucking do Lexie, is worry about you. I wish you would see that. She thinks I overact about security and shit but she has no idea what some people are capable of when they are envious and want money or whatever else they can gain from us. In this case Eric wanted revenge because during the time I had my benefits relationship with Jessica, they were together. I had no idea she had a boyfriend or else I wouldn't have done shit with her. Still that doesn't give him the fucking right to try to rape my girlfriend. I debate trying to call Lexie to see her before I leave for my business trip but I don't think I'm ready to move on from this. I don't know if I can trust her, she promised me that she wouldn't leave without Clark. How am I supposed to trust her?

While pondering these things Wilson enters the room, "Mr. Grey, your parents are here to visit."

They both greet me with a hug.

My mother says, "Honey, you look terrible."

I fight the urge to roll my eyes, "I'm fine mom."

My dad nods playfully, "Yeah cause you sure look fine, son. How many days has it been since you shaved?"

"I like the beard, don't hate."

My dad asks, "So have you taken my advice yet?"

I shake my head, "Maybe Lexie just isn't ready for the type of relationship I want."

My mom looks at me perplexed.

"Teddy, I think you are being very cold to her. Everyone makes mistakes baby." She states trying to get me to change my mind.

My dad sighs, "Okay well then just dump her and get it over with so she can move on with her life. Maybe she can meet someone in the music business to sweep her off her feet."

"I know what you are doing dad, you know I couldn't bear the thought of her being with someone else."

"Well you can't expect her to wait around for you." He replies.

"Don't you have any of your other children's lives you can interfere with?" I ask curtly.

My dad chuckles, "Well our other children aren't currently acting like a jackass."

Wilson enters the room, "Sir, Clark has just now informed me that he is at the hospital with Lexie. She is fine just been feeling sick."

Just then Christie is calling me and I answer, "Hello"

"Hello Jerk" she greets me unkindly.

"What's up? I've got to get to the hospital."

"That's why I was calling you; Michael and I are the ones that made Lexie go to the hospital. Why do you treat her this way, big fucking deal she went out without security?"

"Christie, you wouldn't understand so just back the fuck off. You are always doing stupid shit like that."

She hangs up and we all head over to the hospital. When I get there to the hospital Michael is in the room with her. "May I speak to Lexie alone?"

Michael looks at Lexie and she says, "Its fine Michael."

Once he leaves she looks up at me with so much hurt in her eyes, "Why are you here Theodore?"

"Lexie, I care you know I care about you."

"Care?" she repeats and then says, "Please just leave, I don't need you here. Plus aren't you leaving for Tokyo?"

"Yes but wanted to make sure you are okay first."

"I'm fine."

"Are you going to tell me what is wrong?" I ask my patience growing thin.

"Just the flu or something…. Look I'm just going to say this because I have to get this off my chest, I'm sorry it was a huge mistake and I'm going to have to suffer the consequences. I will always love you Theo and I'm going to miss what we had like crazy."

"You are talking like this is Goodbye Lexie? What we had? I believe we still have it. I know I've been angry and distant but I'm just trying to sort out my feelings. I just want to know that I can trust you, especially when you make a promise about your safety."

She starts crying and I cup the side of her face and begin to wipe away her tears, "I know Teddy, you can trust me. I will never do something like that again. Please don't leave me?" There is enough room so I slide into her bed pulling her into my arms holding her tight.

"I'm sorry baby, I won't leave you. I love you so much."

"I love you so much too Theo." Our lips meet for a passionate kiss.

"I can delay Tokyo for a couple days so you can come with me if you want? I would love to just get away again, just the two of us."

She smiles, "I would love that too baby, I just need to speak with my doctor first."

Chris POV

The couple days I spent with Jennifer were amazing. She is the kind of girl you marry, I'm not sure if that's what I want right now. The sex has been incredible, I really care about her. I sure have put myself in an awkward position here. In the beginning I was upfront with her about not wanting a relationship right now and she said she was down with this being casual but it's just the look she has in eyes sometimes.

I'm going to drop by the label to see if she wants to hang out again tonight, shit maybe I'm addicted to her. Well I've never had sex this good before. When I get there she is talking to John, Christie's ex-boyfriend. I pick up his question on my way to her desk, "So are we on for tonight?" John asks flirtatiously.

She blushes but doesn't say anything. She isn't going anywhere with you, motherfucker. John enters another office down the hall.

She smiles at me, "Hey Chris"

"Hey Jenn, I wanted to see if you wanted to grab some dinner?"

"I would but John invited me out to see this new group we are interested in signing."

Why am I feeling like this? I feel enraged; I don't want her anywhere near that player. He is looking for a rebound. Someone to screw and it isn't going to my Jennifer.

"I would rather you didn't spend time alone with him." I state.

She squishes her cute nose, "You kind of made it clear that you didn't want a girlfriend so why are you playing the jealous boyfriend?" She doesn't beat around the bush.

"You can do better than John Wells, he is a player." I reply annoyed.

"It appears you are now too Chris, look you aren't the guy I thought you were. I've wanted to be with you for a long time and sexually you definitely exceeded my expectations but I'm not going to be a doormat for you. "

I move closer to her taking in her sweet perfume, "I don't want that either, I want you."

"You want sex, but you don't want me for me." She replies looking down.

"Yes I do, I want you to be mine?" the words come out and it is the most truthful thing I have said to her yet.

She smiles, "Are you being serious right now?"

I laugh kissing her softly, "Be my girlfriend please Jennifer?"

"Yes Chris!" She giggles and it is an adorable sound..

So what do you think? Should be Phoebe leave Jay? How will Teddy react to the baby news? REVIEW Please!
