EMILY POV
"Ian...t-there's something you don't know about me..." I said; he looked at me with a murderous glare. "When I was little, I had to move around a lot. I didn't have a lot of friends, and that's all I wanted. I would've done anything. And I did. When I was fifteen, I...Ian, I got pregnant." My voice cracked and I felt silent tears sting my eyes and moisten my cheeks. I looked at him, and, for the first time, I couldn't read his expression.
"So you had his baby?" He asked, his voice a deadly calm. "Where is it, Lauren?"
"That's the thing. I didn't have the baby. I was a kid. I was alone. I couldn't. I couldn't tell my mom. I-I didn't know what else to do! I just...I can't justify having more kids when I killed the first one!"
At that point,I had completely broken down. And he was completely silent, just staring past my shoulder like he was in his own little world.
"Ian! Damn it, Ian! Say Something!" I screamed.
I hated it when he did that, especially now. He probably hated me, or thought I was just as bad as Declan's mom, and the last thing I wanted was to end up like she did, but the difference here was no matter what, he would never let me go. I'd be stuck here.
I felt my heart jump into my throat when he finally broke out of his trance and I saw what I thought was anger flicker in his ice-cold, blue eyes.
"Ian, I...I...I," I tried, but I didn't know what to say.
He sighed as whatever it was I saw before leave his eyes.
"Come here," he finally said, holding his arms out.
"W-what?" I asked, confused.
"Come here," he repeated again, this time more...compassionately.
I studied him for a minute before realizing there was no point in debating it. If I didn't, it would look suspicious, and he would get pissed off, and all hell would break lose. Besides, what did I have to lose?
I walked over to him and allowed myself to rest my head on his shoulder, feeling his arms wrap around me tightly.
I really hope the "secret" wasn't a let down! There was a lot more anticipation about the secret than I expected and I feel like it's just...blah. Please let me know what you guys think! Your reviews are always so amazing, and adorable, and awesome and just thank you :)
