Unexpected. - Ash . (read me like a book txt) 📗

he sang to me and then grabbed my hands.

"Kathryn Miller," he whispered and then got down on one knee.

A bunch of gasps and Awws came from all of our friends and then I let the tears run down my cheeks.

"I am so sorry for every thing I've done. I'm sorry for every excuse I've given you since that night. And I'm sorry that I haven't been the boyfriend that your parents would be proud of. But if you let me, I promise to be the best father," he said and then pulled out a small box from Jared's. "And the best husband that you need in your life. And if you'd only say..."

"Yes," I said softly and kissed him tenderly.

Someone cleared their throat after about five minutes of us kissing and I blushed with embarassment.

"Oh, that's not it," Alex said with a grin and ran to the side of my house.

He came back to me with a bouquet of my favorite flower and a blue gift bag. "These are for you," he handed me the flowers, "and this is for our bouncing baby boy."

"I already have plenty of things for him. His father shouldn't have to-,"

"I wanted to."

I smiled and gave him a kiss before we went back to the baby shower.

Chapter 14.

- Alex's POV -

"Have you thought of any names? You do have two months left," Kaylin asked.

"Well, I was thinking of Kellin..." My thoughts were clouded.

"As in the lead singer of Sleeping With Sirens? You'd probably have a million dollar baby for having that name," she joked.

"Yeah well, Katie's making me come up with his first name and right now, I'm thinking about how these next two months are going to go."

"Just take it easy. I'll help you."

"Really?" I was surprised at the fact that my soon-to-be wife's best friend wanted to help me out.

"Of course. We'll be practically family soon and it's never gonna get easy," she said matter-of-factly.

"Well, first; you know who Sleeping With Sirens is?" I joked.

"Of course! My favorite song by them is Alone featuring MGK."

 

** Sidenote!!: Alone is MY favorite song but I just thought I'd add a little extra into it. PLAY!! (:

 

"Well, mine happens to be Congratulations featuring Matty Mullins."

"I'm impressed that a guy is into Sleeping with Sirens as much as I am," she commented.

We worked for a couple of hours, spitting out the first name that came to mind while listen to songs from SWS. When it was starting to get late, I told her goodnight.

"Wait, Alex," she called.

I turned around and she kissed me full on the lips. My first reaction was to push her away but she was so warm and soft that my lips acted before my mind did and I kissed her back. With passion.

Chapter 15.

- Katie's POV -

"Mom, I just got to Kaylin's place. I'll be there soon," I told her and then disconnected our call.

It was hard for me getting out of the car but I managed and made my way up her steps. I knocked on the door a few times but no one answered  so I got the spare key out of the plant beside the porch and let myself in. She's not here? I thought to myself and then I heard a thud upstairs. I made my way up there quietly before I heard sounds coming from her room.

"I really need to go," I heard a guy whisper.

"No, don't go," Kaylin pleaded him and then it got quiet.

I knocked on her door even though I knew it was rude. "Hey, Kaylin, it's me. I just came by to get my things and I'll just show myself out. I didn't know you had company, sorry," I told her and then started down the stairs before something broke inside of her room.

"Kaylin?" I yelled and opened her door to find Alex on the floor in nothing but his boxers.

"Katie, it's not what you think," he exclaimed and stood to his feet.

The tears came in my eyes despite the fact that I held them back. "Then what is this, Alex? Kaylin?"

"I'm so tired of you guys walking around all perfect and I thought that if I could get Alex to cheat on you then-,"

"Then I'd break up with him again and leave? And we'd be completely destroyed and our son... Our son!" I yelled at her.

"Stop acting like you're Mrs. Perfect, Katie! You're not even close to being perfect!" she yelled back.

"Well, you sure as hell are because you try and sleep with your best friend's boyfriend!"

"Stop," Alex yelled and his voice boomed and echoed in the hallway. "I'm never going to sleep with you, Kaylin! Tonight was strictly about my son. That's where it should have ended. Yes, I kissed you back but that's only because I'm a guy and you're a girl and we do stupid shit! Katie, don't yell at her because it takes two to sleep together. And I didn't try and stop her until a few minutes before you came."

"Well then be with her, Alex," I told him finally and walked out.

"No," he yelled again and grabbed my arm before I reached the front door.

"Let go of me," I told him.

"Make me. Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me anymore, Kathryn."

I turned around and looked at him and saw how sorry he was but that didn't change anything. I looked in his eyes and, "I don't love you anymore."

And that was it. He let me go and I walked out of whatever was to be our life.

Chapter 16.

- Alex's POV -

"Honey, you haven't touched your dinner," mom said to me.

"I'm not hungry. Excuse me," I said and walked to my room.

I couldn't think or eat or sleep or focus on anything from the moment Katie walked out on my a month ago. She was all I could think about. Her and my son. I logged onto my Facebook page and went to read her and my messages from when we were together. I saw that she changed her status from Engaged to Single today and it hurt a lot. I mean, it's Facebook but why let everyone know that we're broken up? I logged off and went to my bed. What were you thinking, idiot? I said to myself.

 I got up from the bed and started to punch my wall in anger at myself. On the last punch, I screamed, "Fuck!"  at the pain that ran through my hand. I looked at my knuckles and they were bleeding. I cursed under my breath before running out of the door. I saw a car parked beside my house and noticed that it was Alecia's. My anger started to build inside of my chest again and then she stepped out of her car, smiling sweetly at me.

"Why are you here?" I snapped at her.

"I just wanted to come see you and-,"

"No. Why the fuck are you here, Alecia? I'm done with you!" I yelled.

"Alex, what's gotten into you?" she asked, making tears come to her eyes.

"What's gotten into me? I'll tell you- I was this close to getting my life back from fucking with you! And now I've lost that again because of your slut friend Kaylin!"

"Kaylin's not my friend," she retorted. "We hung out one time! That doesn't necessarily make us buddies."

"Well it's close enough to plot a reason for me not to be with Katie. And you know what, Alecia? You weren't even pregnant! That pregnancy test was false."

She seemed to be getting the picture and got into her car, slammed the door, and drove off without another word. I started to calm down a little, feeling the blood slide down my fingers slowly and drip onto the pavement. I started to feel weak and unsteady. And before I knew it, I blacked out.

Chapter 17.

- Katie's POV -

"Are you going to eat, sweetie?" mom asked me.

"Yes, mom. After the news is over," I told her.

"You're not even watching it," my big brother, Donny, said to me.

"Well, something interesting will come on," I said and turned up the volume, sticking my tongue out at him.

The reporter was speaking. "In further news, young teen, Alex Milan of Kammela High School, was recently found unconscious in his own driveway. Parents of the 17-year-old teen say that Milan was furiously punching wall, screaming vulgar words to himself and then left the house. The teen is in critical condition at the hospital and if anyone has information on this act of violence, please contact us at-,"

I turned the t.v. off and quickly grabbed my coat.

"Katie, you can't go up there," Donny said.

"Why can't I?" I asked in a hurry and slipped my shoes onto my feet.

"You're 8 months pregnant and it's not the time for you to stress over this. Alex will be fine," my dad said.

"Me being 8 months pregnant has nothing to do with Alex being in the hospital!" I shouted at them both and then grabbed the keys.

"Wait, sweetie, I'll drive you," mom told me and grabbed
