Trish heard Dave, but she didn't think that she had really "heard" him. "What did you say?" She asked.
"Trish, I'm so sorry. The baby is mine." Dave repeated with tears in his eyes. He could only imagine what would come next.
The anger and fury raged through Trish when she heard him repeat it, "You mean to tell me that you not only slept with but impregnated my seventeen year old sister?!?" She yelled.
Dave reached out to her, "Trish please, let me explain."
Trish snatched her arm away from him, "Don't touch me, don't you dare touch me." She snapped. She looked to Melissa, "You slept with my boyfriend? How could you do something like that?"
"Trish, I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you, things got out of hand." Melissa said crying. She could see how hurt Trish was and she knew that it was mostly her fault.
"How? When? Why did this happen? Where did this happen?" Trish asked furiously. Her head was spinning, she couldn't believe this was happening to her.
Dave stood up, "It happened the night after our fight at the hotel. I came back here and Melissa was up watching tv, we started talking, then decided to have a few drinks, which turned into a lot of drinks."
"You also allowed my seventeen year old sister to get drunk with you?" Trish raged on.
"Trish, I'm sorry, I know it was dumb, but I wasn't thinking straight. I was upset about the fight and ."
"And you used my sister as a rebound?" Trish threw in.
"The alcohol kicked in and one thing led to another and here we are." Dave finished.
Trish looked at both of them, "Were the two of you ever going to tell me? Or were you just going to go on living your lives sleeping with each other?"
"It only happened once," Melissa replied quietly.
Trish was completely numb, the rage, the hurt, the anger, everything she was feeling inside was trying to make its way out, but Trish was trying to fight it back. She started trembling, "Who made the first move?"
Dave jumped in, "Trish, I don't think that matters."
Trish repeated herself louder, "Who made the first move? One of you had to, or were you too drunk to remember?"
Slowly Melissa spoke, "I kissed him first."
Trish couldn't believe what she was hearing, "You came onto him?" she asked tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Trish, I'm sorry." Melissa said starting to cry again.
"Melissa," Trish said sharply, "He is seventeen years older than you, his oldest daughter is two years younger than you, and to top it all off.he's MY BOYFRIEND! I know you had a crush on him, I know that you thought he was erotic and hot but I never thought that you would pursue him. Mom warned me, but I didn't listen, I had more faith in you than that."
"Trish, I know it was stupid, I was drunk and I wasn't thinking straight." Melissa said crying.
Trish spun around and faced Dave, "And YOU, of all people you could have cheated on me with, you chose my sister? And not just my sister, but my underage sister? Dave, did you stop to think that she's jailbait? If my parents wanted to, they could push charges on you and you would be labeled a sex offender for the rest of your life. I trusted you, how could you hurt me like this?"
Dave hadn't really given much thought to her age, and didn't even think about the jail part. He had tears flowing down his cheeks, Trish had truly loved him and done nothing but love him and he had broken her heart, he reached out to her, "Trish, I'm so sorry."
Trish jumped back so he couldn't reach her. Trish was furious and knew that she couldn't stay in that house with them anymore. She stormed upstairs and came back down with her luggage for the road. "By the time I come home," Trish said heading for the door, "I want you back at mom's." She said to Melissa, "And I want you out of here." She said to Dave. Trish was fully crying by this point.
Dave reached out for her again, "Trish please don't leave, let's sit down and talk this out."
She shot him an icy look, "There is nothing to talk about, we're through." And she snatched her arm from him and walked out of the door.
Melissa ran after her, "Trish wait, please."
Trish threw her luggage in the trunk and turned to Melissa, "I can't believe you would do something like this."
"Trish I didn't want to hurt you, Dave told me he would tell you, and then he never did. I gave him the ultimatum of either he tells you or I do. Trish, we're sisters and I know that what I did was wrong, but I really need you right now." Melissa cried.
"Well apparently you really needed him that night also. I need to get out of here, you have to tell mom soon. Or I will." Trish said slamming her door shut and speeding off.
Melissa walked inside slowly and shut the door. She had never been all that close to Christie, Trish and Melissa were always together. Christie always kept to herself for the most part.
Dave looked at Melissa, "I'm sorry things got so out of hand." He said with tears in his eyes.
"Dave, I'm sorry this broke the two of you up. All I'm doing is ruining people's lives, maybe I should just leave everyone and then no one will be affected." Melissa said to him. "I'm going upstairs to pack."
Dave couldn't believe what she had said. He didn't know if she was suicidal or running away, "Melissa, wait. Things are messed up now, but sometimes things have a way of working themselves out. Like the big fight at the hotel that Trish and I had. I don't want you to go off and do anything drastic."
Melissa started crying again, "What else am I supposed to do? My family is going to disown me, my sister won't talk to me, my parents are going to freak, I won't be able to graduate, I broke the two of you up, and I'm having your child."
Dave held her close and let her cry. He didn't know what to tell her and he didn't know what he was going to do, but they would get through this.
Trish was flying down the highway, but she had nowhere to go. She couldn't even talk to her mom because Melissa hadn't told her yet. Melissa knew that Trish and their mom were very close so hopefully she would tell her soon. She tried to call Stacy but she was off with Andrew, She tried Torrie, but her and Peter (Billy Kidman) were out. None of her girlfriends were around. She went to her friend Wendy's house in Toronto, but she wasn't there. Trish started crying again. She felt so alone.
Trish's cell phone rang. She looked down and it was Brock. Trish answered tearfully, "Hello?"
Brock was instantly concerned, "Trish, are you okay?"
"No, everything is going wrong." Trish started crying harder.
"You're not driving are you?" Brock asked quickly.
Trish nodded, then remembered she was on a phone, he couldn't see her, "Yeah, I've been trying to find somewhere to stay, but no one is around." She sniffled.
"Somewhere to stay? Did you and Dave have another big fight?" Brock asked.
"It's over, we're through." Trish replied with a touch of anger in her voice.
"Why don't you fly down here to Minneapolis, I'll pick you up, you can stay at my place tonight and we'll fly out together tomorrow." Brock suggested. "I don't want you wandering around Toronto and as much as I don't want you driving, I want you here."
"I can't put you out like that, besides, Nicole would have a fit if I was over at your house." Trish said to him. He could tell that her crying was lightening up a bit.
"Nicole's not here, she won't be back until tomorrow sometime." Brock replied. "I don't even have Mya, she's with Nicole."
"Are you sure I'm not bothering you, you didn't have plans for a guys night out or anything like that?" Trish asked. She knew that he liked to go out with his friends when Nicole wasn't around.
"Nope, that was last night. I'm all yours tonight." Brock responded with a laugh. She knew him all to well.
"Alright, fine. I'll call you with the landing times and gate numbers." Trish gave up.
"Talk to ya soon." Brock said and hung up.
Trish called and made the arrangements. She had called Brock back and let him know all of the flight details. She called and left Wendy a message to pick up her car from the airport, and she'd explain later.
Trish boarded the plane and tried to get comfy. All she could do was think about what had happened. She kept hearing Dave's voice saying the baby was his and she couldn't take it anymore. She cried herself to sleep.
Trish awoke to the booming voice of the captain saying that they would be landing soon. She stretched and looked at her watch. The flight had only been 75 minutes long. She felt like shit, she had a killer headache from crying so much and her she was sick to her stomach. She slipped her sunglasses on and prepared to land.
She grabbed her luggage and met Brock at the spot he arranged. He was trying to be incognito, but he was hard to disguise. She walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder, "Could I get an autograph?" She asked quietly.
He turned around and smiled, "I was wondering if you got lost." He put his arms around her and held her close, which caused the tears to start building up.
"Brock, get me out of here." Trish said quietly.
They walked out to the Hummer and he helped her in. "Why don't you tell me all about it, it'll be a little bit before we're home."
Trish took a deep breath and took off her sunglasses. "Dave cheated on me."
"What? He cheated on you? Trish, I'm sorry. You don't deserve that." Brock said to her. He couldn't believe that Dave would do something like that. He knew how much he cared about Trish.
Trish interrupted him, "Wanna know a secret?" She offered.
"Sure, what?"
"Dave's going to be a daddy again." She said bitterly.
"You're pregnant? Are you not telling him since he cheated on you?" Brock said in a surprised voice. He didn't think she wanted to have kids yet.
Trish shook her head no, "Oh no, I'm not pregnant, but my seventeen year old sister is." She responded harshly.
"Wait a minute, he cheated on you with your underage sister?" Brock asked. He couldn't believe his ears.
"In my house. It was the night after the hotel fight. He got her drunk and she kissed him and it went from there. The only reason why he told me is because she found she's pregnant and she's devastated and he couldn't hide it any longer. My sister had to give him an ultimatum of either he tells me or she does. He wasn't going to tell me because we made up and he didn't want to hurt me." Trish went on.
"So he not only slept with her, got her pregnant but he also got her drunk?" Brock clarified.
"Yeah, it all came out tonight. I told him to stop trying to touch me and that we're through." Trish said to him. She felt herself getting ready to cry again. "Brock, I'm so messed up, I'm angry, and hurt, and I don't know what to feel, I don't know what to say. I feel so bad for Missy because she's so young and she had so many dreams and goals and now she can't go for them because of what they did, but I can't not be mad at her, she made the first move on him. I know that her and mom have never gotten along well and Christie has always been somewhere else, so I'm really the only support she has. I just don't know what to do. God, I'm so angry." Trish cried out in frustration.
Brock felt bad for her. He could see why she was so upset, so confused. "Trish, you need to think about yourself right now. It's time to be selfish."
They pulled into his driveway. "Come on, we'll talk inside where it's more comfortable."
**Please read and review!! How will Trish do in the next couple days? Will Brock be the "friend" she needs? Will anybody make a surprise visit to Trish? And, what will happen with Trish's odd test results?**
