Chapter 60 ~ Scored

ATHENA

A small baby bump.

My mind repeats over and over again.

"Athena!" Leah walks towards me and hugs me.

I stiffen not knowing what to do with this affection. I'm wearing a lose Tshirt and

jeans so I'm pretty sure I'm not showing unless you touch me, Leah however, is in

a tight-fitting dress with her bump right on display for everyone to see.

My heart stops, feeling like the world is suddenly spinning.

"Congratulations. Didn't know you were married." Sloane points out not missing the sarcasm in her tone.

Leah laughs, as she turns to Sloane and tries to hug her but the eye she gives her makes her think otherwise.

"I didn't know you were back, Sloane. It's good to see you."

My mouth is dry and I'm speechless. Who is the father of the child she's carrying? She didn't deny not being married either.

Am I missing something?

Suddenly I feel anger Start to brew inside me. Did Alex play me?

I wouldn't even call it playing since I've known he's always loved her. Bile rises in my throat.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Tears sting in my eyes as I mumble, "Excuse me." And bolt out the door.

I can hear Sloane calling after me but blood is rushing to my ears so fast I can't stop.

I barely make it outside before my legs threaten to give out. My hands grip the cold railing, nails digging into the metal as I gasp for air. My chest aches, my stomach is in knots, and the lump in my throat refuses to go away.

Leah is pregnant. And if Alex is the father... Oh God!
