A/N: I only own the OC
Thanks for all the reviews and everyone who is reading the story.
Matt POV
I was sitting at my house with Constance. She was doing better and she had taken some time off work. I was still dealing with my foot injury, so we had time to both do nothing.
"So, you ever going to tell me how you got the broken ribs?" she asked me and I sighed. I had them since I got in the fight with Phil a few days ago. I don't even know if she knew that he was in town.
"You won't believe I fell?" I asked her and she smirked.
"Yeah, because you half fell out of your truck yesterday, but not for that." She said and I nodded.
"Phil came in town the day that you got hurt… he showed up and went crazy because you got hurt. I brought him back here and we got into it about some stuff." I said and she nodded.
"Why Matt?" she asked me and I sighed.
"I don't think he's good for you and I don't like the fact that he hurts you." I said and she nodded.
"I just don't want to see you get hurt." I said and she smiled at me.
"I know and I'm sorry if I have done anything to hurt you." She said and I smiled at her.
"Nope, I'm just glad that I have a best friend." I said and she smiled. I knew that if we had tried more at our relationship that I wouldn't have her now, so as much as it sucked at that moment… it didn't now.
Phil POV
I walked into my apartment and Scott was sitting on the couch. I had asked him to come over… I needed the truth now.
"What's up?" he asked me as he stood up. I knew that he knew that something was wrong.
"I want you to tell me the truth… did you know that Constance was pregnant?" I asked him and he looked at me like I was crazy.
"Everyone did." He said and I nodded.
"I meant the first time… you know the one where she actually had my son." I said and he pursed his lips together.
"How do you know about that?" he asked me.
"So, you did know… some great fucking friend you are, Scott." He said and I was shocked.
"Fine, yes, I knew… I was there when she had him. I begged her to call you the entire pregnancy, but she refused. She wanted you to be happy with that redheaded bitch and… she always thought of you and your happiness. The worst part out of all this is that you never once thought of hers. You walked out that door and never looked back until you found her now. You don't fucking deserve her." He said and I was pissed.
"I deserve her more than anyone else." I said and he laughed at me. I was livid; I hated when anyone laughed in my face, especially someone who was supposed to be my best friend.
"You don't deserve anyone like her… go back to your redheaded bitches or your blonde transgender whore. You to anyone except her." Scott said and I couldn't help it. I kicked him directly in the stomach. I couldn't stop there.
I kneed him directly in the face and he fell over. I felt the anger taking over as Scott managed to get to his feet.
"I bet you did this to her too." He said as he spit blood at me. I charged him, but he sidestepped and I slammed into the wall. He grabbed me from behind and slammed me into my glass table. I heard the shatter, but I didn't feel the pain because of the adrenaline. The only thing I felt right now was betrayal and pain… it was a great feeling.
Constance POV
I woke up one night with a strange feeling. I felt like someone was in my house or watching me. I sat up and looked around; nothing looked out of place. I reached over and turned on the light. I looked back around and screamed. Phil was sitting in the chair in the corner of my room.
"Nice to see you too." He said and I was shocked to see anyone sitting there, but to see him was more than a shock. He was bruised, tired looking, and very disheveled.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him as my heart continued to beat out of my chest. I put my hand over my heart to calm myself, but it took me a minute.
"I needed to talk to you." He said and I took a deep breath.
"You couldn't have waited until morning?" I asked him and he shrugged like the idea hadn't crossed his mind.
"What is wrong with you?" I asked him after a few seconds of ear-splitting silence.
"I have asked myself for a long time, but I think I finally figured it out… it's you." He said and I was confused by his answer.
"What?" I asked him.
"My problem is you… it always has been. You have been the thing I was looking for all these years; ever since I left you nothing has gone right. I am tired of it." He said and he was truly scaring me at this point.
I had seen him have some interesting looks, but the crazy look in his eyes was different and unfriendly to me. I wasn't sure what to do about it or how to deal with him.
"So, what do you propose?" I asked him and he sighed.
"See, I don't know… I want you so bad that it hurts, but I know that I will hurt you again if I actually get you. I mean I got you pregnant and left you the first time, you lost the babe the second time, I have been an asshole to you nonstop, and I know that after while our past won't keep us together." He said and my ears were ringing as he bought up my first pregnancy.
"How did you find out about Gabriel?" I asked him in a voice that wasn't above a whisper.
"I found the note in my hoodie… you know the one that you keep hidden in your closet." He said and I managed to nod. I didn't know how he found it, but I wasn't happy. I would rather have him never known about my son.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked me as he stood up.
"Would it have really made a difference?" I asked him as he turned to look at me. I knew that I didn't want to know the answer to that question, but I had to ask it.
