It's Your Baby by Belén Domínguez (book recommendations for teens .TXT) 📕

“Gwen, wait up, please. . .Let's talk” I said as I watched her run, I was almost catching up since my legs are longer than hers.

Gwen's P.O.V

“Never! Get away from me!” I screamed as I tried to ran away from him the most I could. My chest was already hurting so did my legs. I felt them slowing down and I just wanted to vanish in the thin air, I want him to just leave me alone.

Suddenly I felt strong arms wrapped around my waist, making me stop. I tried to scream but he covered my mouth and made me walk inside a dark alley. I started breathing heavily as he turned me around. He put his arm beside my head, trapping me, his free hand still covered my mouth.

“Please. . .We need to talk” he said. “If I uncover your mouth, you won't scream, right?” he asked. I nodded slowly. Once he uncovered my mouth, I started screaming.

“Help!” I said, but he covered it again.

“Dammit, Gwen, quit it” he said. I bite his hand and he quickly let me go. “Shit” he said while shaking his hand uncontrollably.

“You tell me to quit it? You're the one that forcefully brought me to this alley”

“I want to talk to you, about you being pregnant”

“What makes you think we should talk about it, huh?”

“Because its mine too” he said and put his arm again beside my head.

“I don't want to talk about it. . .Let me go Finn” I said standing my ground. He gave me that look with those mesmerizing blue eyes, I had to look away.

“Please?” he begged. I looked back at him as I sighed, not believing I will just give in. I stood up firmly as I looked at him straight in the eyes.

“What do you want to talk about?” I asked and crossed my arms across my chest.

“When did you found out about this? And why didn't you told me before?” he asked.

“I found out last week, the same day my brother went to look for you. That means I couldn't have told you before, since I figured it out the same time you did, and why would you care anyway, huh? Aren't you too busy caring about yourself?” I asked, glaring at him. I couldn't believe this guy! First he drags me here, and now he's asking me such stupid questions. . .Could this day get any worse?

“I'm not like that, Gwen” he said.

“Oh really? You sure about that? I'm actually surprised you remember my name for starters. If you actually cared for me, you would've called me a month ago after that night. But no, I was just a one-time thing”

“That's what pisses me the most. You spend one night, just one night with a girl and have sex, and then they think they're dating. You girls need a reality check” he said raising his voice a little.

“Do you realize how much of a jerk you're being right now?” I said as I furrowed my eyebrows. He let go heavy sigh, shaking his head. He looked towards me, and I felt how his face was even closer than before.

“I'm trying not to be. . .But you're so damn complicated” he said.

I huffed. “You know what? I don't care. . .I'm out of here. You got what you wanted and now look who's the one suffering. I'm just 17, Finn! I can't have a baby. I just can't”

“Don't you think you're overreacting?” he asked. I gasped in shock and before I know it, I slapped him with all I had across his face. I don't know what got to me exactly, but he just crossed the line.

He grabbed his cheek, my five fingers got marked in his now swollen cheek. “Does it run in your family going around hitting people?”

“Just the ones that deserve it. . .” I said and pushed pass him, trying to walk away. He grabbed my hand and made me land in his hard chest. I looked up at him, his blue eyes staring down at me. I can't quite read his face; he just stares at me with a blank expression.

“We aren't done talking” he said and gave my waist a little squeeze.

“That's funny, because I was kind of done with this pointless arguing” I said.

“Sassy. . .I like it” he chuckled while brushing his long brown hair back with his slender fingers. “Besides, we're not ‘arguing’, we're chatting”

“Go to hell” I said.

“Ladies first” he countered back. I tried once again to get out of his grip but he was stronger than me.

“What. Do. You. Want. From. Me?” I asked, saying each word deliberately slow. He let me go and pierced his eyes with mine.

“I want to help” he said. “Is this baby truly mine?” he asked.

“What?” I asked, not understanding why would he ask such thing after everything.

“I'm just making sure” he shrugged.

“Of course it is, you idiot. I don't go around sleeping with other people” I huffed.

“Well, the way we had that night made me think you were pro” he smirked. I punched his arm and gasped at how he was remembering. He's such an immature kid, I can't believe how girls went crazy about him.

“I can't believe I ever hooked up with you!” I groaned.

“You came to me” he said.

I widened my eyes. “Excuse me? You sat next to me in that bar and told me how beautiful I am”

“That's not how I remember” he grinned and took a step towards me which made me take a step back.

“Whatever. May I go now?” I asked bored. I just want to go home and pretend like this encounter with him never happened. Thinking about Nash and the baby topic are two things I seriously don't want to discuss right now; it’s just stupid and nonsense. Literally talking to this guy is like talking to a wall.

“Not until you tell me what are you planning to do with this baby” he said.

“Finn, I don't know. . .What other answers do you want me to give you, huh? I don't know. . .I'm just a teenager like I said before. And you don't understand since you're just a guy!” I said nearly screaming. I took long breaths; I was starting to lose my patience. Soon, nothing will stop me and I will just stamp him against the wall.

“I want to take responsibility for this, please let me help you” he said.

“How can you help me, Finn? Please, enlighten me” I said sarcastically.

“Do you need money? Cause I have enough to help you” he said. And now I'm balling my fists ready to punch him just like Alec did, but harder. So hard it will make his eyes pop out of its sockets.

“I don't need your stupid money. . .You want to help me? Vanish away from my life” I said and turned on my heels to leave. He did not follow me this time, and I was so glad. I meant every word I said. He wasn't only being an asshole; he was offering me his money? Who does he think he is? And to think a month ago he was different, that it wasn't going to be just a one-night thing. How stupid of me to even get that idea!

Perhaps he's right in one thing: Girls always get that illusion that guys are any different. And that they will stay, when in reality just want you for one thing, and is not a long relationship. We have the dream of finding the right guy, but there's so few out there that actually mean the 'I love you's' or how much they care for you. . .It’s just a cliché story, but that's the story I want, honestly what every girl wants.

The flowers, the chocolates, when they open doors, when they hold your bags, when they don't cheat, when they look at you like a beautiful piece of art, when they kiss you and both of you feel the fireworks, when he holds your hand in public, when he introduces you to his friends. . .Those are the things I want. But what do I get, what do we all get: A guy that uses us, and when he gets what he wants. . .He replaces you like a piece of napkin. This sucks you know. . .And the worst part is that I made this happen, I can't stop thinking how this is all my fault. In some part it truly is since I allowed this, and this will taunt me forever.

He can't get out of my head. . .And the fact that I'm caring his baby too, makes me even sadder. I don't realize I started crying until I felt salty tears in my mouth. I saw Dani up ahead and the first thing I do is crash myself against her. She held me tightly, brushing my hair, shushing me. I kept mumbling 'I'm stupid, I'm stupid, I'm so stupid' into her blonde locks of hair. She didn't say anything, just kept trying to calm me. When we pulled away, I saw her looking up ahead, with a blank expression. I followed her gaze and saw Nash standing there, his hands inside his khaki pants. He didn't smile, smirked, grinned, moved, he didn't even blinked. . .He just kept staring at us.

“Can we just go?” I asked Dani. She stared at me and nodded, giving me a sympathetic smile. She grabbed my hand and we started walking the other direction. I glanced behind my shoulder. Nash was still standing there, I quickly looked away. . .

When did my life become so complicated?

Finn's P.O.V

I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. Damn, I couldn't even follow her once again. How can I do any of those things if I made someone else miserable? The reason why I make Vines and YouTube videos is to make girls smile whenever they're having a rough day. Knowing I made someone so sad, makes me feel so, so, so. . .

Terrible?

Disgusted with myself?

Like a horrible person?

Like a conceited bastard?

I believe right now; I am all of those things. . .

I just wanted fun for one night. . .To be free and not care for the consequences and think what would be the right thing. I was drunk and wasn't seeing straight. I just saw this very beautiful girl with such a cute dress. She looked so innocent and pure. Now, she hates me. . .But I didn't expect anything else. She has the right to do so.

I just wish she didn't have to go through all this, that she could be happy. . .But what's done is done, and there's nothing I can do to take it all back. This sucks. . .

The only thing that crossed my mind in that precise moment, was how much I wanted to chase her and make her thoughts vanish away, call me crazy. . .Because I don't know her. But still, I screwed up, and now I have to take responsibility for my actions. I just got to find her. . .I didn't think twice and started running to keep up with them. It will sound creepy; I know. . .But I need to know where she lives. She can't
