Chapter 30
Chris's POV
I waited in the car for about fifteen minutes for Jay. When he finally made his way to the car, I had calmed down a bit. As we drove back to Mandy's house it was silent for a long time. Finally, Jay spoke.
"What's the deal with the baby?" he asked quietly. I glanced over at him for a split second before returning my focus to the road.
"After the ladder match she went to bed early. We were sharing a conjoined room. She woke me up at about two in the morning and was covered in blood below the waist. I took her to the hospital and they said I was spontaneous abortion, a.k.a. miscarriage. It was Adam's baby, not mine. You know how awkward things were between Mandy and I. After that first time we had sex, it never happened again. Anyway, she didn't want anyone to know. She went through a lot of emotional pain. I tried to help her out as much as I could. We told Shane that she re-injured her knee and got some time off. She was so hurt when she came back on the road and everyone started jumping on her about our relationship. Especially you, she expected more from you." I explained. Jay sat silent again for a while. I imagine he was trying to absorb everything I had told him.
"Do you really love her?" He asked.
"Yes," I responded simply. It was silent the rest of the way. When we got back to Mandy's, Trish had informed us that she had talked Mandy into going out for a night of clubbing to get her mind off things. I thought it was a pretty good idea considering the fact that we all needed to clear our minds a bit. Mandy wanted to talk to me alone for a while, so we took her car and Jay and Trish took the rental.
"What happened?" She asked once we were alone.
"First we beat the shit out of each other, then I tried to explain everything to him."
"What did you say?" she asked concerned.
"I told him what happened three years ago. He was hurt by it, but I think he understands now that you didn't cheat on him. I also said something about the miscarriage, but I didn't go into detail. You need to talk to him. Where am I going here?" I asked looking around at the road signs confused.
"Take the next exit. I'm glad you brought it up. I didn't know how I was going to."
"So what are you going to do now?" I asked glancing over at her.
"I don't know. Did he really sleep with her?"
"I think so." I announced sadly. She looked out the window silently.
"How much are you going to take, Mandy?" She whispered before we pulled up in front of the club.
"What was that?" I asked as I turned off the engine, even though I knew what she said. I wanted to hear her say it again.
"Nothing, let's party. I need some serious alcohol." She laughed. I didn't move, I just looked at her. She turned to me to see what was wrong. "Are you coming?" She asked. I reached over to her and ran my fingers down her cheek. She smiled slightly.
"Let's rock," I said finally as I opened the door.
A/N- I know...its not much, but I promise it leads somewhere. R&R and I'll keep posting.
