__________

Paige's P. O. V.

It's been two days since the accident and Spence is still in the hospital. They actually managed to get her stabilized and peanut is safe. I swear I've never had a panic attack in my life, but as soon as the doctor told us that she may not make it...it was like being punched in the stomach. It knocked the wind out of me.

Jake was hell bent. It took a lot to just get him to go home and shower, but with some force he managed. He seemed deep in his own thoughts

Ella (the mom) was very upset with Lacey. She visited Lacey in jail and discovered that she could be in there for at the most a year. She was charged with assault. I don't know how the visit went, but I don't really wanna know either. Lacey is really screwed up right now, and she's a pain in my ass. She's done enough. Her husband George came down here to visit her. I don't know how that went either, but I do know I never saw him later.

I was sitting in the hospital room with Jake by my side. The doctor said she could wake up at any moment, but it's been a full day now. She still hasn't woken. I was just sitting in the chair next to Jake. He's been having a rough time with this.

"What's wrong, Jake?" I asked. He was tugging his hair repeatedly and sighing.

"Fucking, everything. Spencer still isn't awake and I want to kill Mason, Lacey...hell even Megan if she wasn't pregnant," he said. He stood up and walked around the room.

"I kinda figured that. I mean what's going on in your brain. At least, I think you have one," I said sarcastically. He looked at me and frowned. I guess that didn't work. Suddenly, he rushed towards me, grabbed my hand, and pulled me out of the room.

"What?" I whispered. He looked up and down the hall and leaned in.

"You can't tell," he said urgently. I nodded. How bad can it be? He leaned in and whispered it into my ear. NO.... HE DIDNT.

I turned to him with wide eyes. He looked scared out of his mind.

"YOU DIDN'T!" I yelled. He clamped his hand over my mouth and looked around.

•. •. •. •.

GUESS WHO? SPENCER! YAY!

I woke up in a room. It was all grey painted walls with one single window which sunlight was shining through. My eyes hurt like hell. I tried to rub them, only to realize that my hands were in shackles.

I turned around and looked them. They were chained to the ground by one key. I kicked the hook, trying to loosen it only to find it not budging.

"HELP!"

I yelled. I kept yelling help until suddenly, the door opened. It slowly crept open and eventually hit the wall, to let me see the darkness coming from the other side.

"WHO ARE YOU?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I yelled in despair.

Then I felt something twirl my hair and I turned to the side to see someone in a ski mask. I wriggled, trying to get him to let go of my hair, but he held on. He, went in his pocket and pulled out a long knife.

No.

This can't be happening.

•. •. •. •.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Spencer's heart monitor was going up, gettin louder. I ran into the room and walked over to Spencer. She seemed traumatized in her own sleep. She was shaking and her hands were slightly trembling.

"NURSE!" Jake yelled. A nurse in a blue suit came rushing in with two doctors behind her. They pushed us outside and tried to get a hold of spence.

"Come on, Spence. Do it for me. Do it for peanut," I whispered to myself. I leaned against the wall with my head in my hands. She can't die. What would the world be like without a Spencer Shapel?

Friggin miserable.

I pulled my blonde hair into a ponytail and sat on the floor. Jake joined my side eventually.

"She'll be okay, right?" He asked. I turned to look at him and saw the tears in his eyes.

"Yeah, she will," I whispered. We sat in silence for a while until the doctors came out.

"She's fine. She must have been having a nightmare," they confirmed. We sighed in relief and walked back into the room.

Then, we waited.

•. •. •. •. •.

Jake and Paige. They were sleeping in the chairs beside my bed. They would look adorable if there weren't bags under their eyes and they didn't look like hobos.

I pulled the covers back and looked at my belly. Peanut was still inside. at least it felt like it. I looked at my bandaged arm and the blood entering me. Had I really lost that much?

Damn Lacey. I thought she was done with drugs. Where is she anyway?

Suddenly, my door creeped open and in walked my mom. She jumped as she saw me and I put a finger to my lips.

"They're sleeping," I whispered. She nodded and walked over with a smile.

"I'm so happy you're okay," she said with tears in her eyes. I hugged her and she sat down.

"Lacey is going to be in jail for at most a year," she said sadly. I turned my gaze to my blanket.

"Sorry," I muttered.

"Why are you sorry? She should be sorry," she said angrily. I shook my head. Lacey was the last thing I wanted to talk about right now.

"Mom, I don't want to talk about her right now," I said softly. She nodded.

"Yea, we've had enough drama to last a year," she joked. I nodded and turned to look back at Jake and Paige. They were still sound asleep.

My mom and I continued talking until about 10, then she decided to go home. I went to sleep with Jake and Paige still beside me. They hadn't moved a muscle and I was seriously starting to think that the chairs were comfier than the bed I was in.

I woke up to find the chairs empty. They must've left when I was sleeping. I scarfed down the food the nurse gave me and asked for more. Of course she gave it to me only because I was pregnant.

It was about 12 when Jake entered my room. As soon as he saw me, his eyes bulged and he ran over to my bed.

"SPENCER," he whispered to himself. I was consumed by his biceps and soon after showered with kisses.

"I missed you too," I whispered into his chest. He let me go and sat down in the chair beside me bed. His eyes never left mine.

"Your were sleeping for three days," he started. I shook my head no.

"I woke up last night. I didn't wake you and Paige because you both looked exhausted. Have you been sleeping?" I asked him. He shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Not since you were rushed off to the hospital," he said. He looked up nervously and leaned in.

"Spencer, I....I just....I feel..."

"Jake, I know this is-"

"Wait, just let me finish. Please?" He asked. I nodded and allowed him. He took a deep breath and looked up.

"Spencer, I love you. I am completely in love with you and only you. I don't want us to end because of Megan or this baby that may or may not be mine," he started. He looked down at his hands and looked back up.

"I said that I was excited for Peanut, that was the truth. When I said that, I only imagined having a baby with you Spence. Regardless of this baby daddy drama, all I wanted is you. Now that Peanut has really gotten to me, I love the idea of another mini you running around here. I want you and this baby that I know isn't mine, because I am truly in love with the mother. God put me in a situation that I WANT to be in. I want everything with you, and if I had another kid, I'd rather it be with you. Not Meghan. That's why I reacted the way did. Please don't take my reaction to her directly to you." he said softly. He looked away and I sat there speechless.

I sighed and shook my head.

"How will this whole Megan baby thing work?" I asked.

"If the baby is mine, I will take care of it. I'll be there for it, I swear," he said. He leaned forward again. His blue eyes were so innocent looking.

"Jake, I love you too. I always will and you know that. It's just I honestly don't want to start something when my baby gets here to have us break up after," I confessed. He shook his head no and grabbed my hand.

"It won't happen. I swear, it won't happen, "he said his eyes that cold blue. I looked at him and I sighed.

"I love you, so much. Please just kiss me again," I said smiling. He let out a sigh and went for it. We sat there and made out until the nurse came back in the room. She revealed that my vitals are stabilizing and becoming good again

I stayed In the hospital and eventually saw Paige and Mom again. They were both happy to see me.

I got out the next afternoon and went to Jake's house. We were watching tv and eating ice cream. I got up to go to the bathroom, my bladder is getting smaller.

I finally pee and wash my hands. As I walk out, I hear hushed whispers. I walking into the living room. I wish I hadn't done that, I really wish.

Megan was standing there in lingerie and heels. Hooker heels. She had dropped her coated which was on the floor next to her and her hair was in loose curls. Jake picked up her coat and shoved it on her.

"GET OUT," he said firmly. She slapped his hands and looked at him.

"SPENCER ISNT EVEN HERE, JAKE! I'm yours for the taking," she said softly.

"I'm right here bitch and if you don't get it, I swear to god your gonna wish I was in the hospital," I said angrily. She turned to face me with shock and rolled her eyes.

"Yeah right! These heels will pop that little baby in your belly before you could even swing," she said. She took off one of her heels and Jake got in front of me.

"YOUR FUCKING PREGNANT! That baby may or may not be mine and you're runnin around trying to get laid?!" He yelled at her. She turned around with sorrow in her eyes.

"Jake! I don't want to get laid!" She said softly. She walked over to him and placed her arms around his waist.

"I wanna make love...with you," she whispered. Jake removed her arms from around him and pushed her gently away.

"GET THE HELL OUT, MEGAN. Don't make me call the cops," he said warningly. She looked at him and I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed some air spray. Walking back over to the door, I opened it wide and raised my eyebrows.

"Fine, you want her? I was a better lover than her and you know it," she said frustratedly. She stumbled out the door with one heel in her hand and turned around to glare it. I smirked.

"This is a skank free zone," I said cheekily. I sprayed the air freshener around the perimeter of the doorway. Her mouth dropped.

"Lemme know if you got a problem with that," I said. She rolled her eyes and walked away. I slammed the door and double Locked it. Putting my head on the door, I take a minute to think.

"Babe, I'm sorry about her," he said. I heard him walking up behind me.

"Are you okay?" He asked. I exhaled loudly and turned around.

"Just can't believe she's pregnant, that's all," I said. He pulled me into a hug and walked over to the couch. Parting the seat next to him, he ushered me over. I plumped down and continued the spongebob episode.

Truth is Megan looked amazing in that lingerie. I look like a fat hippo. I'm in my fifth month of pregnancy and I already have stretch marks on my thighs. I am literally embarrassed to see myself naked.

Can I handle Megan?

•. •. •. •.

I'm at home alone. Jake has to work overtime and mom is out with some of her friends. I was simply on baby registry when a knock came from the door.

"Come in," I said. The door opened and Paige walked in holding hands with a gorgeous boy. My eyebrows immediately went up.

"Spence, this is Hayden. Hayden, this is Spencer," she introduced us. I stood up from my bed and walked over to him.

"Hi," I said.

"Hey, it's nice to meet you," he said nicely. He held put a hand and I shook it awkwardly. He was very gentleman like. His hazel eyes were absolutely gorgeous.

"How'd you meet Paige?" I asked to keep the convo going. He smiled and looked at her.

"We were at the mall and I accidentally made her drop her pretzel dog. She yelled at me to go get her another one and we ended up talking. I eventually asked her out," he said. His cheeks where red and his eyes shined with delight.

"okay. Sounds like Paige. She loves pretzel dogs," I said. Paige's phone started ringing in her pocket. She looked at it and excused herself from the room. I sat back down on my bed.

"You can sit down," I said. He took a seat awkwardly.

"How many months are you?" He asked. I frowned.

"I'm not pregnant," I said angrily. His face expression changed and he immediately turned red.

"Oh my god! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you," he said and liked down awkwardly at the floor. I tried to hold in my laughter as long as I could but I ended up bursting out loud. He looked at me in bewilderment.

"I'm very much pregnant, Hayden," I said laughing. He sighed a huge relief and held his chest.

"Jesus. I literally got scared when you said you weren't pregnant," he said. I smiled and turned back to my computer. Where is Paige?

"So, you were engaged," he said. I stopped in my tracks and looked up at him. What the hell?

"Why do you figure?" I asked. He shrugged and looked out the window.

"Certain things you do," he said still staring at a tree. I straightening myself and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.

"like what?" I asked. He stood and put his hands in his pockets, looking around my room.

"You seem to spend a lot of time in this room, yet it remains neat and tidy. There are no pictures of a husband or boyfriend. You also seem kind of independent," he concluded.

"What? None of that has anything to do with whether or not I was engaged," I said. I stood up and crossed my arms.

"Well I'm sorry I couldn't give you the answer you wanted," he said, smiling a bit. He was getting creepy.

"Tell me what you aren't saying. You're hiding something," I said walking up closer to him. He chuckled and met my eyes.

"Sweet heart, I didn't say anything about who you were with. I guess you are in a relationship right now,"

My anger was rising. Just then Paige walked in.

"Hey, sorry. Anyway, I will see you later spence," she said and tugged Hayden away. I eyed him and he gave me a wink before coming out of view.

Mason and I were engaged. We kept it on the down low because we felt we wanted to get our careers together. For Hayden to know this information is completely impossible.

Unless...

Mason didn't go to jail.

•. •. •. •.

Three weeks passed and Hayden has been to the house more than enough. Him having sex with Paige and analyzing me after is getting stalkerish. He's already came up with me being engaged, almost dying, and dealing with Megan. I haven't told Jake yet because I thought it wasn't anything serious. Now it's getting too, weird.

I was sitting with Jake in my room and he was lying down next to me.

"Are you telling Hayden things?" I asked.

"Like what?" He asked. I shrugged and hesitated. Should I say it?

"Like-"

The door opened and Hayden stands there in a leather jacket and jeans.

"Paige wants to see you," he said. He looked at me and waited for an answer.

"Just a minute," I said. He frowned.

"She says its urgent. Girl thing," he said looking at Jake and Jake nodded. I sighed and stood up. Hayden was standing there as I walked out the door. I walked into Paige's room to find no one here.

Then I hear the door shut. I turn around to see Hayden.

"What is this?" I asked impatiently. He smiles and walks over to me.

"I lied," he said and sat down on the bed. I crossed my arms and looked at him.

"What the hell, Hayden?" I said and started walking towards the door.

"Paige is delusional," he muttered from behind me. I turned around and walked aback over to him.

"What?"

"You heard me. She's delusional. She's a naive person. Not to mention she's not my type," he said shrugging.

"What the fuck?! Get out!" I said. He smiled at me and stood up.

"I'm not going anywhere. By the way, don't tell Jake about this or anything else," he said and walked towards the door.

"You bastard," I say. He turned and started laughing.

"Just know I'm serious. Wouldn't want this secret to get out to the cops," he said. What secret?

"What secret?"

"I'm guessing he hasn't told you yet," he said pitifully. He made a puppy dog face and smirked.

"Your oh so great boyfriend actually crashed mason's car into a lake. Not only, but he also managed to get a barrel of horse poop into his house and set it on fire," he said chuckling. WHAT? This cannot be happening! When was this?!

"Wait no! Get this, he managed to get Mason drunk and drugged him. Then he tied him up to his mattress and put it in his pool!" He said hysterically. He doubled over in laughter. I frowned and sat down on the bed. He finally stopped laughing after a while.

"What? Can't handle it? Tell him a word about this and I'm telling the police. He'll definitely get In trouble," he said and left the room.

Why would Jake do something like this and not tell me? How does Hayden even know about any of this? Can he even prove anything he just said. It can't be true.

I stood and walked down the stairs out onto the patio. My head was spinning and I couldn't breath as easily as it should be. Sitting down, I took a minute to watch the birds fly in the horizon. They were beautiful. It took my mind away for a while until they landed in a tree and the secrets came back in a rush.

Jake would be in serious trouble if they connect the dots to him. Did Mason know? Is that why he attacked me so cruelly?

"Spence, you alright?" I turned to see the man of my thoughts. Jake.

"Yeah, I'm just getting hungry is all," I told him. It was true, I was hungry. He smiled and sat down next to me.

"We can go get chinese," he offered. I smiled.

"Sounds like a plan," I said kissing him. He chuckled and stood.

"I'm gonna get my my keys," he said and left. I sat there for a moment when my phone suddenly started ringing. It was from an unknown number.

"You are receiving a call from Rue County Police. You are scheduled for a trial against inmate Mason James this upcoming Thursday. Please speak with your attorney,"

The phone clicked. Then another number came up and i pressed answer.

"You are receiving a call from inmate Mason James," my heart sped up as his voice came through the phone.

"Press one to accept this call," I liked at the phone and exhaled loudly. Pressing one forcefully, I put it back up to my ear & there was silence at first then he said something and hung up. My eyes widened at his words. Jake came back and got in the car.

I followed him and put my seatbelt on. He didn't seem to notice my shocked expression which is good. Driving off, I was in my own head right now. I thought I got rid of Mason. Now Hayden and Megan. Not to mention, LACEY.

I kept hearing the 7 words all over again. They were on repeat in my brain.

"Drop the case, or your baby's dead,"
