Lucy’s POV

I don't think I'm out for more than a few minutes, but by the time I come to, I find myself lying on the sofa, with a worried-looking Nathan towering over me.

I struggle into a sitting position against his advice for me not to, and try to get up, but he pushes me back into a sitting position.

“Are you okay, Lucy? Here, have some water, please.” He says, handing me a cup of water, which I reject and attempt to stand up on wobbly legs.

“I … I … need to go,” I mutter. I can't be here with him, and Diane, who is standing in a corner and watching us with narrowed eyes.

"Lucy, you’re in no shape to drive yourself home. Why not spend the night, and I'll take you home tomorrow morning? If you're not too tired, I can explain everything now. It wasn't my wish to hurt you. I would never do such a thing." Nathan pleads with me.

"There's nothing to explain, Lucy. I just want you to know that no matter what you decide, I'm going to keep this baby, whether both of you like it or not. So

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Unbelievable

    Diane’s POVI can't wait to get home. I need Amanda’s input on this whole matter. Am I at fault for not stating my expectations as to what I expected from Nathan while having sex with him?Maybe I should have given him the benefit of the doubt to explain himself. What if he was truly drugged like he said? I hadn’t even really been listening to him because of how angry I was, so I barely heard most of what he said.But it’s not like it matters anyway. Like Diane said, the thought of her being Nathan’s baby mama and having to put up with her if I end up with him is enough to give me a headache. It would be a lifetime of troubles, and that’s the last thing I want for myself.“But you’ll also be a staple part of Nathan’s life for at least the next eighteen years, whether you like it or not, except you're willing to get rid of the baby, which you aren’t. So what difference does it make?” The voice inside my head asks me.I’m beginning to have a headache, so I decide to banish all thoughts

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   A new -found bestie

    Diane’s POVListening to Nathan’s shocking revelation that the hold that I thought I had on him is nothing short of devastating. Maybe there’s still hope. Maybe he’s just calling my bluff.What I should do is go ask my father if Nathan’s telling the truth, but somehow, I know deep within me that he is.Since he didn’t fall for my tears, guilt-tripping, and threats, I'm back to square one. If only he had actually had sex with me that night and this baby was his, then everything would be so easy.I would have just used the baby as a means of living off him, whether he agreed to marry me or not. However, since the baby isn’t his, it’s either I get rid of it, or have it for Nathan’s uncle, the senile old fool who’s the actual father.The latter option doesn’t seem in the least bit appealing, but unfortunately, that’s what it would have to be. Or perhaps, maybe I can ask Nathan’s uncle for a huge settlement in exchange for keeping my mouth shut and not telling his dumb wife about our affai

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Disbelief

    Lucy’s POVThe sight before me isn’t one that I would have ever thought that I'd see in my life, considering how much Nathan dislikes Diane, or so I thought.I don't think that anyone would lock themselves tightly in a passionate embrace with someone they dislike, much less lock lips with them.The ache in my chest feels familiar because this sort of thing has happened to me before with Amy and Austin, but at the same time, it is nothing like I’ve ever felt before.For some reason, even though Nathan and I didn’t put a label on what we have, it still hurts to find him with someone else, far more than it did when I caught Austin, whom I was married to, kissing Amy.Hearing him call out Diane’s name in a tortured tone after she breaks the kiss, and watching him reach out his arms for her again, does me in, and I utter a low moan of pain.I want to … need to turn away from the revolting scene in front of me, but my legs refuse to move. Diane is the first to see me, because she's facing t

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   An unexpected guest

    Nathan’s POVBy the time I finish talking, Diane is sobbing pitifully. I keep quiet and allow her to assimilate everything I have said. I'm seriously battling the urge to sleep, considering how late it is and how tired I am. Finally, she wipes her eyes and speaks.“So … so what about our baby? You don't think he deserves a functional family with both his parents living under one roof?” She asks.These questions throw me off guard, and it takes me a good several seconds to follow her train of thought, since the question that she's asking is so far removed from what I spent all this time telling her."So you have nothing to say about your brother, whom you were just crying for?” I ask her in surprise.Her phone vibrates loudly before she can reply, and she glances at it impatiently. As she reads whatever message was sent to her, her eyes widen and she stiffens.I remain silent, just watching her as she rapidly sends a reply. Once she's done, she looks up at me with a self-satisfied smil

  • Goodbye Ex, Go to Hell!   Accusations

    Nathan’s POV The night Drew diedI stared at Drew in terror as he held the gun steadily in the direction of my head. This wasn’t the guy I knew. This was someone else.For a drunk guy, his hand was sure steady. I remembered that he knew well how to handle a gun since he used to hunt with his father during hunting season right from when he was young, and my heart sank.I was also sobering up pretty fast. Who wouldn't if they found themselves in such a situation?“Drew, man! What the fuck are you doing? Put the gun down. You’ll hurt someone.” I said, trying to sound authoritative, but failing dismally, especially when he took a step or two towards me. “I call you my friend, yet you go behind my back to hook up with my girlfriend. What sort of a friend does that?” He asked me, still in a tone devoid of emotion.Now, I was surprised. He thought that I hooked up with his girlfriend behind his back? I didn't know if he really believed that or if it was the voices in his head that were cau
