Matt's POV
I drove away and I'll admit I was disappointed, I'd hoped we could have spent more time together but I couldn't help but think about what Ana had told me about Lilah. I wanted to call Jim, but I'd promised Ana I wouldn't say a word.
I got to my house and it seemed I didn't have to call him anyway, he was sitting in his car.
He climbed out "Man I need to talk to someone."
"Sure, what's up?" I asked unlocking the door.
"Shit Matt, what's not up, fuck."
He threw himself on the couch "It's Lilah."
"What about her?" I hated pretending I had no idea what he was talking about.
"Oh man, she's pregnant."
"Oh" I said.
"Oh, that's all you can say, oh, I mean it's a fucking baby." he was definitely stressed.
"Geez Jim calm down." I told him.
"Ah Matt the worse thing was I asked if it was mine, of course it is, I just didn't know what else to say."
That shocked me, that was a harsh thing to say.
"Yeah Jim, that was an asshole move."
"Fuck, I know."
I sat there and listened to him, I had no advice to give him, I'd never been in the situation.
He was worried about the band and touring but I couldn't see how it would matter in anyway, I told him so.
Finally he left, I had no idea where he was going but I certainly hoped he was going to apologize to Lilah.
I turned off the lights and went up to bed, I layed there awhile then picked up my phone.
I was going to call her, I'd hoped she might have text me when Lilah left, but she hadn't. It only rang twice.
"Hey." she answered.
"Hey. How did it go?"
"She's asleep in my bed, he hurt her a lot Matt."
"I know, he came over here and told me, I don't know, I mean I told him what I thought he should do." I explained.
"Oh, and what was that?" she asked me.
"I told him that I couldn't see how it was a problem so...."
"Thanks Matt, hopefully they'll sort it out." she said.
I certainly hoped they sort it out.
"So what are you doing?" she asked me.
"In bed, I'm tired."
"Yeah I'm going to bed too." she said.
I closed my eye's, wishing I was there.
"Well go to bed, I'll see you tomorrow, we have to finish our date."
I realized what I'd said, date, shit.
"Yes we do, I'm just disappointed tonight got interrupted, I'm really sorry."
She hadn't even hesitated at the word date.
"Don't be sorry, it's ok, anyway get some sleep." I told her.
"I'll try....night."
"Goodnight."
I hung up and looked at the ceiling, I had to take her somewhere tomorrow, I wasn't sure where but I would think of something.
She hadn't hesitated at the word date and for the first time I wondered if maybe Ana felt the same way about me.
