Okay sorry for the late update. I've been busy with exams. And the second biggest exam in my high school life is one month away. I'm scared as hell. And I'm in desperate need of a beta. Anyone interested? Just email me. Anyways here's chapter 3!
Chapter 3
It was the end of Sara's shift. She just wanted to go home and curl in her bed. She hated Nick for making her feel like this but she knew she felt something for the father of the unborn child.
"Why does he have to be such an ass," thought Sara.
Her thoughts were broken when she heard someone ran up to her in the parking lot.
"Hey, Sara," said Greg breathlessly.
"Hey."
"You said you want to tell me what's going on with after shift."
"Yeah, follow me," said Sara. She really thought Greg could make fell better because she really needed to talk to someone. Greg followed Sara with his car and they headed towards her apartment.
"Want a drink," asked Sara.
Sure," said Greg.
Sara took a beer for Greg and water for herself. She took a seat on the couch and Greg followed.
"Sara, what's going on? You look really tired and I saw you cried just now, I'm worried, Sara," said Greg, concerned.
"I'm pregnant, Greg," said Sara.
"What," said Greg shocked. He did not know Sara was seeing anyone at the time.
"Congratulations, right, Are you happy about this," asked Greg.
"I don't know, I'm so confused right now," said Sara sighing.
"Sara, can I ask you something?"
"What," asked Sara looking at Greg.
"Who's the father? But if you don't want to tell me, that's fine, I don't want to pressure you."
Sara sighed. She laid her head on the back of the couch and closed her eyes.
"It's Nick."
"Nick, Nick Stokes," asked Greg having the second shocking news of the day.
"Yup, the one and only," said Sara.
"Did you tell him?"
"Yeah, he freaked out and just left, I'm so hurt Greg, I mean it's not all my fault, he was there too," said Sara tears starting to slide down her cheeks.
"Sara, it's not your fault Nick's being an ass," said Greg taking her into her arms. Sara cried against her chest.
"I know, but I don't know what to do, I'm scared, I don't even know the first thing of how to take care a baby."
"Did you consider an abortion?"
"No, I'm not going to kill this baby, just because Nick is a chicken to accept," said Sara forcefully.
"Okay, I'm sorry, Sara, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to raise and love this baby even without Nick."
"I'm going to help you Sara, anything you need I'll be there for you," said Greg meaningfully.
"You'd that for me," said Sara looking into his eyes.
"Yeah, I care for you."
"Thanks, Greg."
Sara hugged him and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Want to grab something to eat? I'm hungry," asked Greg trying to cheer her up.
"When are you not hungry," asked Greg smiling.
"When I'm sleeping," said Greg grinning.
"Okay, smart ass, why don't I just whip up something for both of us."
"Sara Sidle, cooking? Should I be scared," asked Greg with a mock scare. Sara playfully smacked his arm.
"You'll be surprised."
"Sara, I think I better go, you need your sleep and I need mine," said Greg.
"Um…. Greg, can you um… stay, I don't want to be alone," said Sara. She knew what she was doing was dangerous and she did not want Greg to think she was giving him hope for anything to happen but she really did not want to be alone.
" Are you sure," asked Greg shocked with her invitation.
"Yeah."
"Okay," said Greg awkwardly.
Greg followed Sara into her bedroom. It felt strange to him because he never imagined he could be Sara Sidle's room, well except in his wild dreams. Sara went under the covers in her pajamas that she changed in earlier.
"Sleep tight, Sara," said Greg going out of the room to sleep on the couch.
"Greg, can you stay?"
"Um….yeah, sure," said Greg. He stripped into his boxers and his shirt and joined Sara. He laid on his side of the bed and was not touching Sara like she had a disease or something. Sara felt he was tense and uncomfortable.
"Greg, I'm not gonna bite."
"Sorry," said Greg chuckling nervously.
Sara turned to him and laid against her shoulder and they both slowly fell asleep.
I know you all hate me now. Don't worry! I only write Nick and Sara fan fictions. Hehe. Anyways I was wondering if you guys want a sequel for 'Life's a Bumpy Road'. If many of you wants it I'll post it. Let me know through a review okay? Thanks!
