Jack's face paled.
"You-what-ho-wh" he kept stuttering.
He didn't know what to say. No one did. Except for Ash.
"I'm going to kill you" Ash yelled. I thought he was talking to me but when I faced him I saw he was looking at Jack. His face held an expression that I never wanted to see on my big brothers face. Pure hatred. I'd only ever seen it when he talked to Carson.
"Ash don't-"I said. Ash completely ignored me and charged at Jack. As Jack was still in shock Ash took him down easily. Jack and Ash landed with a thud on the floor and with Ash above. Ash punched Jack repeatedly in his face whilst Jack tried to push him off.
Everyone was screaming at the two of them with Arthur and Jerry trying to pull Ash off of Jack.
"Ash stop it. STOP IT" I screamed. Jack finally managed to push Ash off and started punching him.
"Jack STOP" I screamed again. But both of the boys weren't listening to me. They kept punching each other, Jack in defence.
"STOP" I yelled. Everyone was screaming at them to stop. Jerry and Arthur finally pulled Ash off of Jack. They held him back. Jack stood up and wiped the small trickle of blood that was falling from his mouth. Ash tried to lunge at Jack but I stood in front of him.
"Ash stop" I said to him.
"But Kim-" he started.
"But nothing. It's not all Jack's fault, it's also mine. If you want to punch anyone punch me" I said.
Ash stopped struggling against Arthur and Jerry and looked at me. Properly.
"I'm not going to punch you. I'm sorry Kim" he said.
I then turned to Jack.
"Jack-"
"How long have you known" he said. He wasn't looking at me.
"A couple of days" I muttered quietly so he wouldn't hear.
"What?" he asked.
"A couple of days" I said louder. He finally looked at me.
"Are you kidding me" he said rhetorically. I shook my head.
"A couple of days. Why didn't you come to me straight away?" he said.
"I don't know, I was-"
"You were what Kim? Scared? Worried? Didn't you think you could trust me? Because guess what? This is my problem as well" he said angrily. I felt tears come to my eyes. As I blinked a few slipped down my cheeks. Jack saw them but looked like he didn't care.
"Jack please-"
"No Kim. Don't just, leave me alone for a while" he said and left the room. I lost it. I collapsed to my knees and just sat there with tears streaming down my face. I could hear voices around me but I blanked them all out. I finally came back to reality when I felt arms pulling me up. I turned to face the person. Grace.
"I'm so sorry he reacted like that" she said. She picked up an empty vase from the table.
"What are you going to do with that?" I asked.
"I'm going to very nicely, beat the living shit out of my idiot of a cousin for being like that" she said. I grabbed her arm.
"Grace, don't. He had every right to act like that. I should have told him, the second I found out about the pregnancy" I said. She hugged me sympathetically.
"You had the right to tell him when you thought best" she said. I nodded. We pulled away from the hug.
I started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Melody asked. I had almost forgotten everyone else was in the room.
"I'm going to sit by the lake" I said.
I walked outside and sat at the edge of the lake. I looked at my reflection. Staring back at me was a girl I didn't recognise. She had the same blonde hair and brown eyes as me but she was sad.
The old me was happy a month ago. Every time I looked in a mirror I was smiling. I was happy.
But I've changed so much in a month. I despise my father. I overcame my fear of Carson. I fell in love again. And now I'm pregnant. I'm sad. And I'm scared. What is going to happen? Jack didn't look even the slightest bit happy about the baby. If he doesn't want the baby then what do I do? I could never abort the baby. It's not right for me. But I don't want to raise it alone.
Mid thought, I felt a presence behind me. I prayed it was Jack. I turned and faced Ash.
"Hey Kim" he said quietly.
"Hey" I said bluntly and turned to face the lake again. He sat beside me.
"I'm sorry" he said. I gave him a confused look.
"You have nothing to be sorry about" I said.
"If I hadn't attacked Jack he may have taken the news better" Ash said.
"I don't think he would have taken the news in any other way no matter what would of happened" I muttered.
There was a silence.
"Kim, why didn't you tell me?" Ash asked.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell anyone. I was worried what everyone might think especially you and Jack. I thought you might hate me. Reject me as your sister" I said. Ash's look turned slightly darker.
"Kim, don't ever think that. I would never reject you as my sister no matter what. The two of us have to stick together" he said. He put his arm around me.
"Thanks Ash" I said.
"I am disappointed Kim. Not in you but about all of this. You are so young and you're entire life is about to change" he said.
"I know. I've spent most of my thoughts on this. I don't know what I will do. I'm so glad that you don't hate me. But what about Jack?" I said.
"I'm sure Jack will come around. I'm pretty sure he is just in shock. I would be to if I was in the same situation. And if he doesn't come around you always have me" Ash said. I smiled.
"Thanks Ash" I said.
I'm so glad Ash doesn't hate me, and I can only hope Jack doesn't.
Reviews guys. The next chapter will involve Jack and Kim.
