Chapter Twenty-Five

Austin

I'd been driving for at least thirty miles. At this point, I didn't know which was fucking North and which was South. All that mattered was getting away. Once I started speeding down that highway, I just couldn't stop. It was like I was running away from that god-forsaken farm, from that pretty girl I'd been captivated by since the moment I'd laid eyes on her and from the baby tucked away in her belly. Hell, I couldn't get away fast enough. I thought that the further I got away from her, the easier it would be for me to take a breath.

I was sorely mistaken.

I had the windows rolled down and the night air hitting me in the face, trying to cool myself down. The music was on full blast and there was a cigarette hanging from my lips, although it wasn't lit just yet since I didn't have a god damn lighter because Eliza had stolen back the one she'd given me a week or so ago. I briefly considered stopping and grabbing one, but the idea of stopping made me feel like there was an invisible hand wrapped around my windpipe, crushing it agonizingly slowly. So I kept going, slamming my foot down on that peddle until it damn near reached the floorboard.

Hart is pregnant. Pregnant. Holy shit. How had I screwed up this bad?

We'd had sex...So many times. Bare, fucking raw. I'd coated the insides of her with my come, loving every single second of it. I'd had the impression that she was protected. That we both were protected from something like this. Since the moment I saw the birth control compact in that bag, I'd run with it-never once thinking that they weren't hers. I knew that she didn't plan on me finding them. That was on me, I could admit it. But the idea that she knew she wasn't on anything, and she let me have her in that way made me...Livid.

My god, I'd been ready to fall to my knees when I saw her standing out in Terra Matthew's driveway in that pretty, lace dress. She damn near looked like a fucking angel. She barely made eye contact with me, looking all scared and skittish. It was like suddenly, she was back to being the innocent young girl I'd met at the beginning of this summer. I only figured she thought I was mad at her when in reality, as soon as I saw her, all the anger left my body. For the first time in days, I felt calm. I felt at home.

Because of that, I felt destroyed. I felt cheated out of my future. Even worse, I felt like I'd finally found something real just to realize that it was never actually genuine at all. It was a game-played by a selfish, inconsiderate girl that would do anything to get out of this town. I was a god damn pawn.

Fuck. What would Ellis say when he finds out? My parents? God, I could only imagine.

Hey mom, dad. Remember that farmer you sent me to live with to get my shit together? Well, Ellis Hart had a knockout of a daughter that begged me to take her virginity. Who was I to deny the girl what she wanted? After I had her that first time, I went back for more and more until my cock damn near made a home in her sweet little pussy. Until I was ob-fucking-sessed.
