Chapter 3

Stacy's pov

I stood there transfixed for about 30 minutes staring at the person I stumbled upon. It was my ex who left NY.

"I...oh hey". I stutter breaking the silence.

"Stace...been a while. How've you been?" Dylan asks.

Seeing Dylan for the first time in 3 years got my heart melting. I loved him more than anything and anyone. When he left I was a mess. I tried to stop myself from loving him and when I thought I finally did...I stumbled upon him again.

"Is that a baby bump?" He asks.

"Um...hey Dylan when did you get here?" I ask ignoring his question.

"Last night. You're pregnant Stace...wow I'm so happy for you. Who's the father?" He asks as I bite my lower lip forcing back the tears that threatened to pour out.

"Well, I'm not happy for me Jed". I say to him.

His mom likes to call him Jed. It's his other name.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

""Miguel...it's a long story Jed". I say to him and then I walk past him but then he gently drags me back.

"You can tell me anything Stace". Jed says.

I stare into his blue orbs for a while. His lashes were long and I could feel the sadness in his orbs. He really wanted to know everything but how could I possibly tell him that his cousin raped me. I didn't want to put enmity between them. I rub the back of my head for a while and then look away.

"Sit please". He says to me....ushering me a seat on the long bench that was in the bus stop.

My eyes darted across the road and I saw Cameron staring at us in envy. Daggers shooting from his eye towards Jed. I really didn't want to cause a scene. Jed...I'm sorry I've to go. You can come over later so we could talk.....about you. Here's my house address". I say as I take out a pen and a piece of paper and scribble my address and number in it then I hand it over to him.

"Jed...that's my boyfriend Cameron". I say pointing at Cam.

"Oh nice. I'd just greet him". Jed says getting up from the seat holding my hands as we cross the road to meet Cam.

I saw Cam's palms ball into a fist.

Cameron's pov

I'm only mad at her...for what I saw and here she is flirting with another guy. Seeing them together made my blood boil. I couldn't control myself. I couldn't wait any longer to drive my fist into his fucking face when he gets here with my girl. I was only hurt...nothing more. I still loved her.

"Yo man, what's up?" Jed asks.

I stare at this stranger with bloodshot eyes before returning his handshake.

I could see her avoid my eye contacts. She was scared to look at me. I noticed.

"Fine dude. What a cute babe you've got there". I say.

What the fuck is going on??? I thought to myself.

"Cam just addressed me as Jed's girlfriend. He was acting as though he's never known me. It was driving me nuts.

"Actually, she's your babe". Jed says.

"Is she?" Cam asks as he narrows his eyes at me.

What the fuck is he doing? Is he denying me right now??!!

"You can have her. I don't know her. But be careful of girls who look like her. They're green snakes". Cam says and walks away.

He addressed me as a green snake. I was so heartbroken. Miguel cost me a lot to the point Cam denied me in front of my ex.

Tears well up in my eyes as I watch Cameron walk away. I look up at Jed who looks puzzled and then I walk away with Jed tailing me behind.
