a step towards me, which made me step back.

 

“Hey, Finn,” a blonde girl said from behind him. He turned around and smiled widely, then gave her a peck on the lips. I tried to put on my best fake smile.

 

“Why don't you go to our table with the other guys. I'll be right there” Finn said. The blonde chick nodded, but not before sending me a dirty look. When she left, he turned back to me, grinning.

 

“New conquest?” I asked.

 

He chuckled at my response and shook his head. “Jealous?” 

 

“Why would I be?” I asked narrowing my eyes at him. Is he even serious? Who the hell does he think he is?

 

“Because you missed how good I made you feel. . .Do you remember?”

 

“I don't want to. . .” I said, shaking my head repeatedly, taking once again another step back. A devilish smirk plastered across his face as he stared at me. It made my stomach churn and my voice die down. All of the things I wanted to say were far gone and forgotten. That look he was giving me, made me shake.  

 

“Well, if you change your mind, I'll be at the Marriott Marquis Hotel, Room 3304” he winked and then walked away. When he sat down, he motioned to his friends to look in my direction so they would look. They all smirked and waved at me. I stared at my Frappuccino on the floor. I wasn't in the mood anymore. I grabbed my stomach and rushed to the bathroom. I quickly went to one of the stalls and vomited. Then I washed my mouth and grabbed an extra mint I had in my purse.

 

“Are you okay!?” Dani asked exasperated. “What happened?”

 

“Finn is here, he-he—”

 

“It's okay. . .Let's go,” she quickly as she pulled me to an embrace.

 

We were walking, Dani was holding me while we were about to pass their table.

 

“Hello there, remember me?” asked Cameron looking at Dani. She rolled her eyes and made us both stop.

 

“Go to hell, asshole,” she said, making everyone at the table laugh. We kept walking until we got to her car.

I buckled in and started crying. “What did he tell you?” Dani asked as soon as she entered the driver's seat.

 

“He literally wanted to hook up with me again, even though he brought another girl” I choked on tears. "I can't believe him!"

 

“It's okay, everything will be alright. . .We'll go to your house, and then we can—”

 

“Can I just be alone, just drop me off, please? I seriously don't want to do anything. Thank you for trying to make me clear my head, but Finn just ruined it” I said. She nodded understandingly, patting my knee, then turned on the engine, and we started leaving the lot. But before that, I looked at the huge window and saw Finn staring at me, waving and winking. I shook my head and wiped the few tears that started escaping. I looked again and flipped him off.

“Will you be okay?” Dani asked concern plastered all over her face.

 

I nodded. “Yes. I will. . .I'll call you later”

 

“Get better, and don't let him get to you, he's just a douche”

 

“Thanks, Dani, for everything,” I said. She hugged me and kissed the top of my head.

 

“You're like my sister, I would do anything for you,” she said.

 

When she was leaving my driveway, I waved at her goodbye and then walked inside. My parents' car wasn't on their usual spot, so they haven't got here yet. I went to the fridge and grabbed the juice jar and glass, and poured me some of the refreshing liquid. I walked out of the kitchen and into the living room.

 

“Hello little sis,” said Alec making me jump with fear.

 

“Alec, you scared the living hell out of me,” I said and took a sip.

 

“Really? The feeling is mutual” he said, I sensed some coldness in his voice.

 

“What's wrong?” I asked. I placed my glass on top of the coffee table and then crossed my arms across my chest, and walked to be a little closer to where he was.  

 

“I walked inside your room to get back my laptop since I lend it to you yesterday, and what a surprise when I found this in your trash can bin,” he said and threw the box of the pregnancy test on top of the table. I gasped and covered my mouth with my hand. Now he was the one crossing his arms across his chest, waiting for my answer.

 

“I can explain”

 

“Good, that's what I want to hear. . .” he said, standing up from the couch. “An explanation as to why the fuck is my little sister with a pregnancy test?” he asked, trying to control his anger, obviously failing. I started explaining everything that happened a month ago and the results of the test. That was the hardest part to tell him. Plus, I told him the part about seeing Finn today at Starbucks.

 

“I was going to tell you; I swear. . .I didn't know how,” I said. He started pacing back and forth in the living room, breathing heavily. “You hate me. . .” I concluded, fidgeting with my fingers.

 

“No” he let go a bitter laugh. “I hate the one that did this to you”

 

“Please don't tell mom and dad. I will find the perfect words to tell them, I just—”

 

“Hey, it's okay. . .I'm here for you,” he said and hugged me, his face softened all of a sudden. I buried my face on his neck and exhaled his sweet cologne. When he pulled away he wiped one tear escaping my eye.

 

“Now. . .Where is this guy?”

 

“Why?” I asked furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

 

“Because I'm going to kill that son of a bitch” he said and walked to the door. I rushed towards him and grabbed his arm.

 

“No! Alec, please. I don't want any more trouble”

 

“He can't get away with this, plus he was with another girl and kissing her like he hasn't done anything. He can't just walk around happily. Where. Is. Him?”

 

“He's—He's in the Marriott Marquis Hotel, Room 3304” I gave in. He grabbed my hand and dragged me to his car.

 

“He is so dead” he informed me and started the engine, driving out of our driveway.

 

“Please, don't kill him,” I said.

 

“Why are you defending him?” he asked.

 

“I'm not defending him; I just don't want any trouble. I'm already the one having a baby, so I will be the one that is dead once mom and dad find out. Don't add to the equation that you will go to jail for killing someone. Because I know you're capable of killing him because you love me too much”

 

He let go heavy a sigh. “I will just tell him what's on my mind. And I promise I won't kill him, but he is so dead to me and he should be to you too. . .”

When we got to the hotel, Alec parked and got out, then opened the door for me. He grabbed my hand forcefully and dragged me to the lobby.

 

“What's his name and what's his appearance?” he asked.

 

“Finn Harries. . .Dark brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, tall. . .”

 

“Excuse me, sir, you can't go up without a key,” the receptionist said.

 

“I'm sorry, but I'm looking for someone that hurt my sister in so many ways and took something that basically didn't belong to him. So I won't need a key since I will just speak to the guy and I will be downstairs in just a second”

 

The lady stayed frozen, but let us go in. My brother muttered a 'thank you' and then we went to the last floor.

 

“What room again?” he asked.

 

“Room 3304” I replied, mentally praying that he will control himself and don’t do something stupid that could make the situation worst. He searched for the door and once he spotted it, he knocked. I didn't want to see him, but I know that if I'm not here, my brother will certainly kill him.

 

Minutes passed by and they opened. Finn stood there. He first looked at my brother and then at me. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and then turned towards my brother.

 

“Hey, are you Finn Harries?” he asked.

 

“Yeah, that's me” he replied.

 

My brother nodded and then punched Finn with his fist right in the face. I covered my mouth with both of my hands. Finn grabbed his mouth with one hand and stood up. Some blood dripping from it. I noticed Finn's friends ready to jump in.

 

“What the fuck is your problem!?” Finn asked, nearly screaming.

 

“You mother fucker! Do you think that you can just come and hurt my little sister and get away with it? You piece of shit!”

 

“I don't know what you're talking about,” he said.

 

“You know exactly what I'm talking about, you had sex with her just a month ago. And guess what? She got pregnant because of you! And then you go out with another girl without even caring about what she might be going through. You're sick”

 

“Pregnant? What the hell?” he said and looked at me. He was shocked, so were his friends. Tears blinded my view, I had to look away.

 

“Can we go?” I finally found my voice.

 

“Gwen?” Finn tried to reach me but my brother blocked his way.

 

“You get near my sister, you go one inch close to her. . .And I swear I will rebuild your face,” he said and grabbed my hand, leading me towards the elevator. I looked at Finn, still grabbing his face due to my brother's punch, and with a shocked expression. I stared down not wanting to look at him anymore. I just want all of this to be over.

Chapter 05 - I'm here for You

 

Finn's P.O.V

 

To say I was shocked was the biggest understatement of my entire life. How the hell she got pregnant? She can't be. . .I used protection. Wait, did I? I can't remember. This can't stay like this. If she has my baby, I want to know more about it. She can't leave me like this, she just can't. . .

 

“Finn, what was that all about?’ another of my friends, Jack asked. I turned around. My friends gathered around staring at me with wide eyes, all with their mouths almost touching the ground.

 

“Finn?” Cameron rushed towards me. “Are you okay?”

 

Am I okay? Of course not. Even the punch in the face I received by her brother seems like nothing compared to how I feel inside. I don't know how to feel, how to act, what to say, what to do. . .I don't know what the hell am I supposed to do, and I have to do something, anything. . .I need to find her and get some answers.

 

Gwen's P.O.V

 

“Thank you. . .For punching his face” I said.

 

“Anytime. . .I told you that I would tell him how I felt. But I also felt like punching that fucking bastard, so I did” he said making me laugh.

 

“I missed your laugh, long time since the last time I heard it” he said honestly. I sensed some sadness on his voice, which brought my attention towards him.

 

“I don't know what I'm going to do” I said and briefly covered my face with both
