“What’s going on here?!” Mother yelled when she entered the room.

Tom released me and I fell to the floor.

“I'll tell you what happens, Anne.” Tom approached her with a smirk on his lips. “It happens that, here his beloved son, left my sister pregnant, cheating on her with a woman from work and then when Emma told him that she was pregnant he just leave her, just like that. Like if she was a change of clothes.”

Tom spat the words with so much bitterness and hatred that I felt as if they were punches in the stomach. Mom looked at me with horrified face. I got up and approached Tom. Derek and Richard kept his distance, not wanting to mess with.

“That baby is not mine.” I spoke between teeth.

“Oh, sure it's yours. She does not go there, from bed to bed like you. And you know what else made ​​your son, Anne? He left Emma in a club and some guys tried to rape her. So she now has a broken rib, a post-traumatic crisis and a high risk ofsuffering a spontaneous abortion...”

“Shut up!” I screamed to him.

“L-let he continues.” Mom told me with trembling voice.

“And for that crisis she has stopped eating and that increases the likelihood of losing the baby. Plus she has hardly talked or slept. Harry accused her of cheated on him and laughed in her face. Anne, I cannot believe that from a lady like you've come a jerk like Harry. My deepest condolences to you. And you Harry, do not ever look for Emma. Do not continue fucking her life, you had done too much already.”

Tom tilted his head towards me, making fun of me and the three left the apartment. Richard gave a look of apology to my mother before closing the door behind him. Mother dropped into couch. She ran a hand through her hair. Her eyes were wide open and her face reflects horror and disappointment.

“Mom…”

“Don’t, Harry. Don’t.”

“But…”

“God, do you realize what you did? They tried to rape her? A broken rib? Did you cheated on her? Cheated the ‘love of your life.’ You were going to marry her in six months. After all you pondered your proposal and you cheated on her. I cannot believe it. Your father and I didn’t raise you like this.”

She stood up, grabbed her purse and walked to the door.

“Where are you going?”

“I need to think this. This one in front of me is not my son. You've changed a lot and all for a simple affair. You destroyed Emma's life...”

“She’s going to have a baby, is not big deal.”

“No big deal? Emma is not even twenty years old. They tried to rape her... That will leave her a lifetime trauma. How can you be so insensitive? You have to think about this.”

“There’s nothing to think about. That baby is not mine, period.”

“Not even you believe that. You’re just afraid to parenthood and that’s why you are like this.”

“It’s not like that.”

“Yes it is. But she is also afraid and not fleeing.”

Emma’s P.O.V.

I went into the house followed by mom. Rose immediately hugged me tightly. Annabelle, Jessie, Perrie and Eleanor were sitting in the living room. Rose was still all over me. Her arms held me tight, pinching my lungs.

“Rose… Rose, I can’t breathe.” I whispered and she left me with an apologetic smile.

“So? Tell us now.” Jessie laughed.
