Chapter Fifteen

Alba

I can’t believe he accused me of getting knocked up by someone else. Come to think of it, he specifically said a ball player. Is he referring to Sam? If so, how does he even know about him at all or the fact that he is a ball player?

I shouldn’t even have to ask myself these questions. These men around here seem to know everything about everyone.

Hearing the door knob turn I get up from the edge of the bed where I was sitting and meet my sister and Leah as they come walking through the door.

"I am so sorry I deserted you down there, Leah. I was so taken aback and in the moment…I can’t believe I forgot you were with me."

Walking into the room further she takes in her surroundings. I grab the suitcase she packed for me from her slightly shaking hands and set it down by the closet.

"You guys really lived with all those men down there?" she asks with bewilderment as she wrings her hands together nervously. "I met Gabriel. He’s umm...big." She says giving my sister and I both a look.

I walk her to the bed and sit down with her as I watch Bella quickly close the door before responding to Leah, "Yeah, they can be a bit rough around the edges at times, but you really wouldn’t find a better family to be a part of."

And she’s right. Which makes me feel bad for bringing chaos back into the mix when it wasn’t very long ago we all had dealt with so much. I honestly thought whoever had been leaving notes stopped. I can’t wrap my head around someone threatening an unborn child.

It’s unfathomable to me.

"What I don’t understand is how someone was able to break into your dorm room there on campus. We made sure security was top notch when you first checked the place out. Someone in the building must have seen something," my sister questions as she walks over to the window, pulls back the curtain a little and gazes out into the night sky.

Leah gives me a sympathetic look, knowing I’m about to have a heart to heart with my sister that I’ve been putting off. For far too long I’ve let it fester and it’s put a barrier between us.

I sit straighter, "That’s because I don’t live on campus anymore. I moved a little over a month ago," I tell her.

"What?" Bella says shockingly.

"Yeah. Sam, Leah, and I are renting a condo about fifteen minutes from campus. I felt like I needed more space since finding out I was pregnant. I like it, Bella. It was a choice I had to make for myself."

"I get all that, Alba, but why? Why is it you felt like you had to hide that from me?" she asks with hurt etched on her face.

"I thought I had to. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to disappoint you. I never wanted to leave Polson. I wanted to stay
