The Wounded Love novel Chapter 53

"I haven't really seen much of her. I'll come over though."

"Ok thanks. She's really freaking me out."

I left work and took a cab to her place. I honestly couldn't think of anything that would have her this messed up. Whenever anything had Jade depressed she would eat her way through it. That's what she was known for. That's why she lived at the gym. Jade loved food, but she also loved her bikini ready body.

"Hey!" Jennifer said giving me a hug. "It feels like we haven't seen each other in forever."

"Yeah it's been a couple months."

"Well I don't know what's wrong with her. I haven't been home much, but I came back today and she hasn't came out."

I knocked on her door. "Jade open up."

"Go away." She called.

"You know I'll find a way in. Open the door."

"No!"

Jennifer just looked at me, not sure what to do. I pulled a pin out of my hair and stuck it in the lock.

"Whoa, you're good." She said as the door unlocked.

"Lots of practice."

Jade was in her bed under the covers with the lights off. "What's wrong?" I asked sitting down beside to her.

"Nothing." I heard her voice crack.

"Don't lie to me."

"I'm scared." She squeaked, trying to hold back tears. I pushed her hair out of her eyes.

"Of what?"

"I really f@cked up, Sky."

Oh yes, because that was helpful. "Did you and Luke break up?"

Dante. There goes his stupid name again. I sighed out loud.

"Did you know him before that night?" Chloe asked. I was wondering the same thing.

"No. I'm telling you guys it was just physical." Well now look where that just physical attraction got her.

The three of us went out to the store and brought three tests, we then took them back to the hotel.

He was in the lobby. I saw him walk past but I didn't look over. If I did it would've ended up with me being the pregnant one unless he had a condom in his pocket.

Well actually I still had a few in my purse from when we were together. By the time I realized that we were already in the elevator.

"What do I do if they're positive?" Jade asked sitting on my bed. We were just waiting for the results now.

"You tell Sean then you break things off with Luke." I said a little too harshly.

I thought that he would've said something by now. Not avoid me. How does a person say they love you, but not try fix things? Simple things. It's not like I was asking him to cut off a limb. I just wanted the truth. I deserved to hear the truth.

"Ok. This is it." Jennifer said, walking over to the counter where the tests were. She pulled one out. "Negative." I think we all let out a sigh of release. Before any of us could start celebrating she pulled out the other one and read, "Positive." And then the last one. "Positive."
