Caitlin

Chapter thirty one

Aaron was pissed, Dario made it seem like Caitlin was a saint but she wasn't.

"Would you stop saying that....you didn't know Caitlin!" Aaron yelled at him.

"How do you mean?"

"She wasn't perfect, she wasn't the saint you paint her to be she..." Aaron didn't want to say more, he knew if Dario finds out about what happened years back he wouldn't forgive Caitlin.

"You've got to be kidding me" Dario scoffed when Aaron didn't complete his sentence.

Aaron lowered his voice as he ran his fingers on his face as a display of frustration. "What I'm trying to say Dario is that you shouldn't have chased her out like that with Ruby. I had to take them in...." Aaron didn't know when the last sentence left his mouth, he didn't want Dario finding out as Diane begged him not to tell Dario.

"What!!!..." Dario faced him with anger and resentment "why do you like to take everything that belongs me?" He gritted out

Aaron scoffed "I take everything that belongs to you, like what?"

"You're sleeping with her just like you did with Caitlin? You are a fucked up best friend"

Aaron turned to face him slowly, anger filling his veins " I'm a fucked up best friend? I'm a fucked up best friend?! Huh, For trying to protect all your relationships...."

"Protect, keep deceiving yourself" Dario scoffed in disbelief "you slept with my fiancee and you call it protecting..."

"I didn't sleep with Caitlin, we never had sex, we only kissed" Aaron did feel ashamed as those words left his mouth.

Dario punched Aaron on his face and he kept on punching him but Aaron never retaliated or tried avoiding any of his punches. Dario was pissed, he wanted Aaron to retaliate, do something but he didn't move an inch.

"Fuck you! Fuck you Aaron!!" He stopped hitting Aaron and began to pull his own hair in anger and frustration

"I kissed her just once and that was when you barge in on us, I never slept with her, Dario believe me..."

Dario felt weak, it was just a kiss but it felt alot more, he felt betrayed by his best friend by someone who was just like a brother to him.

"Why did you do it?"

"I was freaking in love with her, you knew it and she knew it. She's a manipulative bitch..." Dario shot him a glare and he raised his hands up in surrender

"She knew how much I was in love with her and how close I was to you so when I caught her aborting your baby, she made me  promise not to tell you"

"She aborted our baby?" Dario was hurt, he never imagined Caitlin could do this, he loved her and she knew how much he wanted to have kids, how much he loves children.

Aaron nodded " not once, not twice, not thrice. What do you expect she was a model and being pregnant didn't suit her job, that's what she told me"

"Why didn't you tell me all this?"

"Like I told you before, she made me promise. The day of your accident, when you caught us in a lip lock, I went to confront her because she was planning to seal her womb shut, so she wouldn't be able to get pregnant but then she broke down in front of me begging me not to tell you, that you would be so mad and end the relationship, one thing led to another we kissed. I still regret that day, that was the worst mistake of my life."

Dario was dumbfounded, she did not even think about their future, how bad he wanted a child from her.

"I don't want you to loose another child that's why I came here....I wasn't supposed to..."

"Loose another child as how?"

The ringing of Aaron's phone cut their conversation. He immediately picked the call when he saw that the callers ID was Diane.

"Hello, Diane?" Dario picked interest immediately

"Uncle Aaron where are you?" Ruby's tiny voice said quickly through the line....her voice was filled with worry that it made Aaron tense up

"Ruby?..."

"Why the hell is Ruby calling you when she has my number, I'm her dad " Dario bellowed

Aaron rolled his eyes at Dario's childishness " are you forgetting the part that you threw her out of the house, this late"

"Uncle Aaron!!" She screamed getting his attention again " I don't know what is wrong with mommy but there's blood on her leg, it's coming out from under her"

Aaron panicked, the baby he had to save the baby. " Where's your mommy princess? "

"She's in her room"

"Okay, go stay with her and tell her not to move, I'll be right there "

"Okay" she nodded and cut the call.

"What's happening?" Dario blocked Aaron's way as he was about to leave " tell me what's happening, I deserve to know. They are my family"

Aaron didn't have time for arguments, he just needs to get to Diane as fast as possible.

"She's bleeding" he replied and tried to manoeuvre his way out but Dario held him back.

"Why?"

"Goddamnit!! I'm not a doctor.... she's bleeding and she's pregnant piece it together" he said and walked out leaving Dario speechless.
