Second chance reunion

Chapter 6 - Blain

My world came crashing down the morning I realised Dekota had read the messages from Gabbie. She never let me explain what happened and never replied or answered her calls. I thought I’d let everything cool down for a bit so I left her alone for a couple of days. I knew Gabbie had to have been lying, there was no way I’d have slept with her no matter how drunk I had been at the party. I never even told Dekota I was going to one because she hated them but I just wanted one night to myself to let loose. Apparently that was a very bad decision.

Two days after Dekota had read the messages I noticed I hadn’t seen her car in the drive way since the day before but I don’t remember seeing her leave at all. Walking into my brothers room I ask him “hey, have you heard from Dekota at all?” He paused his game and gave me a strange look “I haven’t heard anything but she’s also not my girlfriend. Why what happened”. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him “just a misunderstanding I wanted to clear up but haven’t been able to get in contact with her” I said running the back of my neck. She just unpaused his game and said “fair enough, good luck with that”.

Walking out of his room I head to my sisters, knocking I head a “come in” I opened the door and she looked up from whatever it is she’s doing seeming a bit surprised to see me “what’s up”. I didn’t know what to say “umm have you heard from Dekota at all” I couldn’t look her in the eye. I know how close they had become. “Nope sorry, I could message her I guess if you need me to”. I quickly rushed “no no it’s fine I’ll manage” I didn’t want her finding out before I was ready.

I walked out of her room and down the stairs contemplating if I should go try her house again. I waiting about an hour and re checked for her car but it still hasn’t shown up, maybe one of her parents had taken it. So I went a tried my luck. Walking up and knocking on the door, her mother answered and the look she gave me I just knew that she knew. “Hi Blain Dekota’s not here sorry” she was just staring at me blankly “umm do you happen to know when she’ll be back ? I really need to talk to her and sort some stuff out”. She looked me dead in the eyes with the most hateful expression I think I’ve ever seen thrown my way before and said the words that halted my world “she won’t be back Blain. She’s gone back to Australia. Left yesterday morning so yea. Bye” and slammed the door in my face.

I stood there for so long just not understanding what had just happened. Suddenly her dad was walking up the steps to the door, he looked at me “go home Blain, she’s not coming back” then he side stepped me, opened the door and walked in shutting it behind him. What had just happened. With my brain a mess I turned back around and headed home. Once I got inside I ignored my parents questions and went to my room. How could I have ever let this happen.

It’s been 8 months since Dekota left and my life had been as chaotic as ever. Nothing was going right and everything was up in shambles, I remember the days after she left and I had to explain everything to my family. My sister still hasn’t completely forgiven me and my mum was heartbroken. My dad smacked me in the back of the head and my brother just walked out of the room and didn’t speak to me for a month. My mum was the one to convince me to be supportive of Gabbie and to get a DNA test when the baby is born. The pregnancy has gone pretty fast, she’s still expecting us to be a family and raise the baby together. I’m still positive it isn’t mine and I feel no claim whatsoever to it which is probably a bad thing. She calls and texts me everyday day to many times a day.

Today is the day she had given birth and we were getting the DNA test done. I was freaking out, it was finally here. They took a DNA sample from me and from the baby, she had a cute little baby girl named summer. Gabbie looked at me whilst she held the baby “do you want to hold your daughter ?” I looked at them both “we don’t know if she’s actually my daughter yet so I’ll leave it till the results are back” she angry daggers she gave me spoke volumes “are you serious right now. We’ve just had a baby and you don’t want anything to do with her !” I put my head in my hands dragging them through my hair “it’s not the baby I don’t want anything to do with, it’s you. You ruined my life”. She smiled at that like seriously I was about to loose it “uhhh the little girlfriend you didn’t seem to care about when you were sleeping with me. Good times good times” I had to walk out the door before I said something horrible. So I walked out of the hospital and out to my car. It had been a few hours since we had done the DNA test and we got it fast tracked so we had the results faster.

I was sitting in my car scrolling through my phone when I got an email notification. Going straight to my emails I saw it was the results , I was so scared to open them my heart was pounding. When I clicked on the attachment I started crying with the negative result. She had lied this hole time ! I knew there’d be no way I would have done that to Dekota. The first thing I did was call my mum “ hey hunny how’s it going” “ mum I got the results back ! I’m not the father!” I was still crying and then I heard her start crying as well “she lied about the hole thing” she just cried some more until she finally said “go and sort it out hunny. Tell her she’s not getting anything from you” I smiled a bit but also felt horrible for that innocent baby girl “I will mum, I love you” “I love you to hunny”. Hanging up and took a deep breath and got out of my car heading back to the hospital room. When I got back I opened the door and say Gabbie crying, I guess she had read the results. She looked up “I suppose you’ve seen the results and that’s why your back.” I just stared at her for a minute before finally asking “why’d you lie ? Why would you do something like this to not only me but to her real dad, not just that but to your own daughter” she started to get angry at that “I’ve been in love with you for years and you took no notice. You were paralytic drunk and passed out on the bed so I undressed you and got in with you. In the morning you didn’t remember anything so I told you we slept together. Then I found out I was pregnant so it was all working out” I had no words I couldn’t even think. “Please never contact me again Gabbie and please get some help, if not for you for your daughter” I turned and walked out never looking back.
