Pretty intense chapter here. Enjoy and review!

I watched from the window as they fought in their room. The bastard! He made her cry!

He made her get pregnant, now he can't even be happy about it?

Bastard face.

I looked at my pictures of her. They ranged in age from fourteen, as Hannah, to just last week.

I watched as he left the room, and she ran after him, then he emerged and got in his car. She called after him, but he just drove away. She stood in the driveway for ten minutes after he left, tears streaming out of her beautiful eyes and down her beautiful face, before turning around and numbly walking inside her house.

This was getting ridiculous.

I had to act.

Soon.

--

Twenty minutes after leaving, Jake pulled up in to Lily and Oliver's drive way.

They weren't married, but they were still together, and they lived together.

Jake slammed the door to his car and stalked to the front door, and banged on it.

Lily opened it seconds later. "Jake what is wrong?" She said, letting him in. "Where's Miley?"

"Home. I think." He said.

"Dude, what happened?" Oliver asked.

He sat on the couch in their living room, putting his head in his hands, before saying, "She's pregnant."

"But that's great!" Lily said, Oliver nodding in agreement.

"No, it's not!" Jake said. "She lied to me! She's supposed to be on birth control, I told her I didn't want kids now and she said fine! She hasn't been taking the pills at all! She lied to me, Lily, it's not great!"

"Ouch," Oliver whispered. "That was low of her. What happened?"

"I got home from work, and she was in the bathroom. She lets me in, and I get told she's pregnant. I ask what happened to waiting, about the pills, and say she lied to me. She said I never asked if she was taking them. I shouldn't have to ask, it's assumed, since I've been paying for them! And she made me think she was, she knew I didn't want a kid anytime soon! And so I left, and came here. She...she was crying when I left. Lily can you go...check on her? Make sure shes ok?"

Lily nodded, and left.

Jake and Oliver didn't speak for a while, until Oliver asked, "What are you going to do, man?"

Jake looked at him and shrugged. "I don't know Oliver. I've never been more disgusted or angry in my life. She betrayed me. And there's no way in hell she is ready to be a mother. And I don't want a kid."

"But what are you going to do, Jake?" Oliver asked softly. "She has every right to keep the baby, have the baby. You can't make her get an abortion. And if you tried, your marriage would go down before you ever got her down there."

"I'd never force a woman to do that. And I don't want to leave her, I love her. I just...I don't know Oliver. I don't know if I'll ever be able to trust her again. I've never been more angry or disgusted with someone ever, and I've been pretty angry before."

Oliver sighed, and didn't respond.

He honestly didn't know what to say.

Miley and Jake were both his best friends. But if Lily did to him what Miley did to Jake he'd feel the same way.

--

When Lily got to Miley and Jake's house, she went right in, and found Miley sitting at the table, each arm on either side of a bowl of what looked like Campbell's soup. She wasn't eating it, she was staring in to it, tears dripping from her eyes.

"Miley." Lily said, and her friend looked up. "What're you doing?"

"I'm...trying to eat, to keep my baby healthy." She said after a long pause.

"Why?" Lily asked softly.

Miley kept looking in to her dinner. Finally she said, "I thought it was a good idea. I just...I want a baby, Lily! I want to have a baby with Jake, and we are and h-he's n-not even the l-least bit h-h-happy about it." She sobbed.

Lily walked over to Miley slowly, and sat in the chair next to her, wrapping her arms around her.

Miley sobbed, and Lily held her, until Miley finally stopped. "He didn't even listen," She choked out, wiping her eyes."He wouldn't listen when I asked him not to leave me. He just...left."

"Miley, I can't blame him." Lily said softly.

Miley froze, and looked at Lily. "Can you just tell Jake to please, please come home."She asked in a small voice. "Please?"

"Yea...and if you need me, you know the number." Lily said, before leaving.

Miley stood, leaving the bowl on the table, and slowly walked up the stairs.

She was so tired, and just wanted to sleep.

She finally reached the second floor, and walked down the hall.

She paused in the hallway. She'd left the bedroom door open. Why was it shut?

Deciding it was nothing, she turned the knob, and pushed the door open, walked in, and shut it, before looking up.

She let out a scream, shocked.

"What the fuck are you doing in my house? How the hell did you get in here?" She asked, her hand over her chest.

Charlie sat on the end of the bed, his ankles crossed, waiting.

He smiled politely. "Hello, Miley. I've been waiting for you."

She didn't step forward. "Why are you in my house? Where are your nieces?"

"They went on home with their mother. But enough about me, Miley," He stood, and walked over to her, cupping her cheek with one hand, and running the other up the side of her stomach. "I heard you and that mean man fighting earlier. Again. Tell me, Miley, why do you put up with it? You could do so much better then Leslie Ryan." His mouth was next to her ear, his breath, which smelled nasty, washed over her.

"It's just an argument," Miley managed to whisper in her fear, "I love Jake. Jake loves me."

"I know what he's done, Miley. He forced you in to marrying him. He killed your brother, and was slowly killing you. Then you got pregnant. He got angry. He doesn't want a little baby. He left, but he'll come home and kill you. Tell me what he's done," He whispered. "And I'll make him pay. We can be together. I'll love you, just like you deserve." His hands were running all over her body, he was pressed up against her. She was pressed against the door.

Well she struggled to respond through her fear, she prayed that Jake would come home, soon.

"He hasn't done anything," Miley whimpered, "He loves me, and I love him. Please, let me go."

"Why?" He sneered, angry. "Going to call the cops? I'll tell you who's on duty! No one will believe you. I'll show you! YOU LOVE ME. YOU LOVE ME." He screamed, throwing her on to the bed, and quickly locking the bedroom door.

"NO!" Miley screamed, trying to get away, but he got to her first, and grabbed her wrists with one hand, the other moving down.

--

Jake had left before Lily had gotten home, and pulled in the driveway.

Getting out of the car, he walked in to the house. "Miley?" He called.

--

Miley heard her husbands distant call, but before she could scream, he raised the hand that was on the lower half of her body, and slapped it over her mouth. "If you say anything, I will kill you."

Figuring he didn't have anything to kill her with, as soon as he moved his hand, she screamed.

--

When he heard no response, Jake sighed, and turned to leave.

But then, he heard it, "HELP ME, JAKE PLEASE."

The cry was a scream, a terrified scream that he'd never heard come from her mouth before.

He took the stairs three at a time, running up them.

"MILEY?" He roared once he got to the top.

He heard a muffled scream, and his eyes landed on their bedroom door.

He tried to open the door, but when he couldn't, he pulled his phone out. Dialing 911, he called, "It's going to be ok, baby! I'm getting help!"

--

When as Jake yelled through the door, he growled, yanking her shorts back up, before picking her up.

She struggled, but her held her tightly, as tears ran fast down her cheeks.

"I tried," He hissed softly. He roughly forced his lips on hers. "I tried to show you. But now you did this. If I can't have you...no one can."

--

In an attempt to see what was going on after he called 911, Jake ran outside, and to the back.

Jacob Ryan got there just in time to see his wife's body crash through the glass of the second story, master bedroom window, and fly out the window, and land in the eight feet deep water of their in ground pool.

*hides* don't hurt me.
