Chapter 21
�Yeah, she told me yesterday.� Justin wanted to hint around for a while to see if JC would admit it before he accused him of anything.
�Well, who do you think the father is?� he replied considerably calmer but still looking down at his hands.
�I don�t know.� Justin said as he stared at his friend.
�I mean, who would do that? I just hope it�s not someone I know because I would��
Justin didn�t break his gaze with JC when his phone started ringing.
�Your phone�s ringing.� JC said as he nervously looked from Justin to the phone.
�I know it is. They�ll call back if it�s important.� He said and as he said that the phone stopped ringing. There was an awkward silence between them. Justin noticed JC�s hand shaking and the sweat forming on his forehead. He wanted to hit him so hard, he just didn�t know why he didn�t.
�I�m going to go see her and see if she�s ok.� JC said as he headed to the door.
�God damnit JC!� Justin yelled before he left. JC turned with a confused look on his face. �Why can�t you just fucking admit it?�
�What are you talking about?� he stuttered as the words came out of his mouth.
�Britney told me that it�s you!� he blurted. �You�re the fucking father. Stop trying to cover your ass!�
�She told you?� he paused. �I need to go see her.� He said rushing out the door. He was a bundle of nerves and before Justin could say anything, JC went in his car and started to drive away.
JC knocked again at the door, this time pounding. Finally Britney answered the door. She was still in her bathrobe and her face was tear-stained.
�Can I come in?� he asked through gritted teeth. She didn�t say anything, just moved out of the way and JC stepped inside.
�Did you tell Justin about us?� he asked not wasting anytime.
�Well, he asked�� she trailed off not meeting his eyes.
�Britney, I thought we weren�t going to tell anybody about that.� The desperation in his voice was obvious.
�I know but�� she still was looking at the floor.
He sighed. �There�s only one thing I can do now.� He pulled something out of pocket.
�Will you marry me?�
