Chapter 91: Important Discussion
Rory
My hands were shaking on the way home, and I hated it. As soon as Kenny noticed, he reached for my hand and tangled it with his, while his second one controlled the steering wheel.
"Stop worrying your head off, doll." Kenny spoke, voice low and soothing and I felt my heart fill up with an immense feeling of love for him, because I know if not for him, I won’t be who I’ve become today. It was mainly all thanks to him, even though hated taking credits for that.
I bit on my bottom lip, my mind traveling back to the entire conversation we had with Jason back at his grandma’s place and a bitter taste appeared across my tongue again. I let out a long sigh and tried forcing myself to stop thinking, but nothing was working.
"What if he ends up discovering that Niko is really for him?" I whispered. I couldn’t help it, I was still feeling extremely worked up and worried. We were currently on our way home from grandma Nini’s house and I was feeling a lot of things at the same time.
Anger, irritation, fear, worry. All at once.
"He doesn’t, at least for now, I’m very certain of that." He paused for a moment before continuing.
"But if he ends up finding out, you know it won’t be the end of the world, right?" He continued quietly and I bit harder on my bottom lip, staring down at my laps.
"Niko is definitely already curious, and whenever he ends up knowing the truth, he’d most likely want to meet his father. Will you deny him that?" He asked, glancing at me for a moment before refocusing on the road and I felt a rush of anger curl through my chest.
After getting rejected and sent away by Jason, I suffered tremendously. From living on the streets, to being through another problem in the hands of Trevor. I went through a lot while pregnant, only for Jason to be able to come see my child whenever he liked just because he’s the father? I didn’t like that at all, it made me angry and hurt. But then Kenny was right, I don’t think I’d be able to deny my son that.
"You know I won’t be able to, even though I won’t be okay with it." I finally mumbled before exhaling again. Kenny squeezed around my hand one last time before dropping my hand and reaching for the gear of the car.
