Chapter 9

It was late. In fact, in most places it would be considered early morning. Clint had held Bella as she cried for hours. He looked over at her now as she slept, her eyes swollen, and he felt a jolt of pain in his heart. He couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about Alyssa and what had happened. He thought about the morning she came home driving Bella’s car. She had looked so sad and lost. He should’ve talked more. He should’ve confronted Justin and Grant and got answers. It just didn’t seem right, a one-night stand turning into a miracle and now Alyssa gone.

Clint got out of bed and went downstairs, needing some space to think about what he could do. He made a promise to keep his mouth shut and not tell anybody anything about Alyssa or the pregnancy test. He wasn’t so sure he could keep that secret anymore, not when he thought about his friends.

“Couldn’t sleep either?” Clay’s voice stopped him from pouring his coffee, and he grabbed another mug. “Thanks.” He sat down at the table, and Clint brought over the mugs, sitting down. He didn’t say anything, too lost in thought to get the right words out. “Do you think we should tell Grant and Justin?”

“No. I don’t know. I keep thinking about Bella. I would want to know if she had left town. I would want to know if she was pregnant. We promised not to say anything. I can’t help but feel like both Grant and Justin need to know what’s going on. Do you think they know?” He had a bad feeling that they might know what was happening. It didn’t make sense, though. He had known them since they were kids. They wouldn’t have used Alyssa, but why would she have been at the house alone wearing the clothes from the night before?

“We need to tell them. I know that we promised to keep our mouths shut, but I don’t care. They deserve to know the truth of what’s happening. I’ll take the blame. I’ll tell them,” Clay said, and Clint knew that he would. He would let Bella blame him totally and completely, but Clint knew he couldn’t let him go down alone, not when he wanted answers from Grant and Justin.

“We go together, the three of us. After Bella leaves for work, we can head into town and have a chat with those two. If Bella gets upset, then at least we can talk to her together and explain our reasons, and maybe she’ll forgive quickly.” Clint felt that it would be best to keep Bella in the dark until they talked to the guys about this, just in case they had been total asses after sleeping with her.

“Okay, in a few hours. I think I might head out and do some chores beforehand since I’m already up.” Clay got up from the table and headed to the mudroom. He put his boots on and grabbed his jacket before heading outside and into the dark of the morning.
