Chase's POV:
I woke up with the worst headache ever. Right away my 12th year in school came into my mind when Ryland was able to sneak out a whole bottle of whiskey from his parent's liquor cabinet and we drank it all in one night. I sat up in bed to find my shirt on the floor along with my pants.
That's strange.
I rubbed my head, thinking back to last night and the last thing I remember was Maddie. I looked to the bedside table and picked up my phone, seeing over 20 texts and many missed calls. I went over them, seeing most of them from Esmeralda, some from Ryland and a couple from Maddie. Majority of the texts were also from Esmeralda asking if I was alright, Ryland asking how the party was and a few from Maddie wondering if I was fine.
I was about to text Maddie back when I thought back more.
Someone was on me.
I kissed Maddie.
But she couldn't have driven here...
I turned around to see the empty bed and a folded paper on the pillow. I reached over picking it up and in nice writing was when I felt like my world was going to fall apart. Literally.
Thanks for last night. I look forward to many more with you! XOXO -Olivia
I was about to get the worst beating of my life if Maddie found out.

"So you don't remember anything before that?" Ryland asked as I sat across from him my living room.
"Just my dad giving me a glass of whiskey and that was it."
"How many drinks did you have before that?" Ryland asked, looking at me.
I leaned down and picked up Parker, setting him on my leg.
"Just a few beers and the whiskey." I looked over at him.
We stayed quiet, Ryland thinking about it before he sighed.
"Are you going to tell her?"
She would have my head! She would never forgive me! I would be forced to apologize forever before she would ever think about forgiving me. Her brother would beat me up and God knows I can't fight to save my life! I would be forced to marry Olivia and I would never be able to see Maddie again and I won't allow that!
"No." I spoke through gritted teeth. "She will never find out about this. So this stays between you and me."
"Wouldn't it just be better to tell her than to lie?" Ryland asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Ryland, think about her temper! After one little argument she gets riled up and starts yelling! Imagine how it's going to be about this!" I half yelled and ran a hand through my hair. "She won't find out about this." I looked at him in the eye, right away seeing him tense up.
"Yeah, whatever you say." He nodded.

It's been a couple weeks since that incident and I was able to pull it off from Maddie. I had told her that I stayed the night and my parents had too. To my surprise, she bought it. I was sitting in my office, Maddie, like usual, was sitting in the seats across from me. She was resting her back on the chair's armrest and her legs were swung over the other armrest. She was playing a game on her phone, trying to beat Ryland's high score when the door opened and we both looked over to see Olivia smirking.
She walked right in, pushing Maddie's feet off the armrest and having her glare at her. We both stood up at the same time as Olivia walked around my desk and looped her arm in mine.
"You are no longer welcomed into this building. If you so much as step foot here I will call security on you and you will be kicked out." Olivia glared at Maddie.
"Who are you to tell me this?" Maddie half yelled.
I was about to open my mouth when Olivia beat me to it.
"Not only am I to be Mrs. Simmons, but I'm also the mother of his child." I saw her pull out a paper toward Maddie, who snatched it and read it. She looked up at me and handed it to me.
My eyes scanned over the paper, pulling away from Olivia.
She was pregnant.
"When did this happen Chase?" I was afraid to look up at her. She was going to be glaring up at me and super frustrated. I worked up the courage, looking at her and seeing nothing. No emotions or anything. And that was the worst.
Maddie's POV:
I looked at Chase, he wouldn't look at me in the eyes until he finally did. He looked surprised but full of guilt.
"Oh, did he not tell you?" I looked over at Olivia who acted like she was shocked. "The day he went to that family party we got together, as you can tell." I looked back at Chase who still watched me.
"Why is it that I don't believe her?" I asked.
"All the proof is right here." Olivia held up the paper.
"If you so much as say one more word I will slam your face into this desk." I glared at her. "Chase, tell me what happened." I saw him open his mouth but no words came out.
"Maddie, I don't know what happened. I was drinking a couple beers and my dad walked by with the whiskey and then I guess this happened." I nodded and felt anger boil in me.
I wanted to slap him, punch him, kick him, and yell at him. But I wanted to do so much worse things to Olivia. I looked down and pulled my phone out, pulling up Josh's number.
I'm heading over to see you.
"We're through, Chase." I looked up at him, his eyes widened before he rushed over me and I tried getting away but he held me tightly.
"No, Maddie this is a mistake, I was drunk and I don't even know how. Maddie please don't end this."
I looked away, feeling the anger die down to sadness. I tried holding back the tears but before I knew it they were falling and Chase was wiping them away.
"Get away from me!" I pushed him back but he only held me tighter and shook his head.
"I swear I will prove that this isn't my child Madeline. I love you and I've showed you how much I love you." I opened my eyes to look in his and I knew he was telling the truth. But I being stubborn didn't believe him.
"I'm sorry." I leaned up and softly kissed him, turning and walking out of the office.
"Maddie!" Ryland bumped into me in the elevator and I turned away.
"I have to go." I whispered but he hugged me.
"What happened?" He asked and I pulled back, hearing Chase yell my name.
"Nothing." I pulled away and got in the elevator. The doors were about to close when Chase stopped them and pulled me out by my arm.
"Now you listen here!" He yelled. My eyes widened at his voice, suddenly sounding very frightening. "I would never, never, do this to you Madeline. You know I love you and this woman doesn't mean a thing to me. If that child is mine I will do everything possible to make sure they have a good life, but I will never stop loving you!"
Before I could say anything Chase was pushed away from me and on the ground, holding his jaw tightly.
"Do not yell at my sister like that again!" Josh yelled at him and I rushed to him, making sure he wouldn't hurt Chase.
"Stop! Let's just go home!" I half-yelled at Josh to make sure that he didn't do anything reckless.
"What the hell did he do?" Josh yelled and Olivia appeared showing her paper again.
"We're having a baby." Josh looked at the paper before he pushed me aside and lunged at Chase.
"Josh no!" I tried pulling him back as Ryland pulled Chase who was throwing his share of punches but still got more than he gave.
"You know what she's been through and you still do this to her?" Josh yelled. "If you ever talk to my sister or look at her again, I will kill you!" Josh yelled. I pushed him toward one of the elevators turning back to Chase who was bleeding and looking at me.
Josh pulled me closer to him, the elevator closing, giving me a last look at the broken man.
