Story 6

Jordan and Jeff are sworn enemies for personal reasons. Jeff is Jess' older brother and he will do anything to protect her.

  Jess has a secret that she keeps from Jeff, she has a boyfriend and it happens to be Jordan. Jess and Jordan have been going strong for years and Jeff still doesnt know.

  Until one day Jess started getting really sick in the morning and she realised that she is really late in her period. She goes to her best friend, Alex, and tells her. Alex and Jess both realise that Jess may be pregnant, so they go to the store to get a test and it unfortunately came back positive.

  Jess was crying in her room while Alex was comforting her, out in the hall Jeff heard her crying so he walked into her room. Neither Jess or Alex noticed him walking into the room.

  He walked right in over to the bed, but something caught his eye. The test sitting on the nightstand, he picked it up and saw that it read positive. He froze up.

"Who is pregnant?" Jeff asked hesitantly. Jess looked up and started crying harder. That gave Jeff his answer.

"Who is he?" He softly asks his sister.

"I cant tell you." She says in a quiet voice. But Alex thinks she should tell him

"Jess, he deserves to know. He is gonna be the uncle, you know?" Alex tells her.

"Can you call him, Alex? Please? They need to know at the same time." Alex nods her head and steps out into the hall and calls Jordan and tells him that it's an emergency.

  Jordan arrives about five minutes later. And automatically goes to Jess' room. Only to hear crying before stepping into the room. Worried for his girlfriend, Jordan barges into the room. Only to see his enemy, Jeff, soothe his crying girlfriend.

"What is going on here!?" Jordan asked mad.

"Baby, please don't be mad." Jess tells him scared.

"Dont be mad! If course I'm gonna be mad! I was told that this is an emergency. And I see you all comfortable with my enemy!" Jordan yells.

"He's my brother!" Jess yells at him, finally snapping. "But you wouldnt care about that because you guys dont care about how I feel. This is why I didnt tell you he was my brother and why I didnt tell him that we are dating!" Jess yells, out of breath.

Jeff is startled by the last few words, then looks to his sister. "So, its him." He asks her quietly. Jess slowly nods her head.

"Jordan, I have some news to tell you. And I dont want you to leave me. Promise me you wont leave me." Jess tells Jordan. In that moment you can see all of Jordan's anger disappears.

"I would never leave you baby. What's wrong?" He asks her in the softest voice possible.

"Your gonna be a dad." She says, her voice barely above a whisper.

Jordan lied, he walked out, then and there. Alex decides to chase him down. When she finally catches up to him, she breaks his nose. She then walks back to the house and tells Jess that she will be there, and Jeff agrees with her immediately.

  Over time Alex and Jeff fall for each other and get married and have twins. Jess ended up having a little girl who is now 5. They all had a happy ending. Except Jordan, he was killed in a hit and run accident.
