!!!!!Chapter 3!!!!!
A week has passed since the whole incident with Joel. He’s tried calling her but she just couldn't answer when he did. She didn't know what to say to him. She felt bad about the whole situation. She liked him a lot but after her recent break up with Bryce her heart was still damaged from it and Bryce was the one to blame for it.
Hilary sat on her balcony reading the latest issue of People Magazine. She was skimming through it when she came across something about Joel. Her eyes got wide once she realized it was about both her and Joel. She read it out loud to herself, “Good Charlotte's frontman Joel Madden was spotted kissing Eminem's daughter Hilary Mathers, at the Halloween party that him and his brother Benji held over the weekend.. A source at the party claimed they couldn't keep their hands off each other and were inseparable the whole night. They acted as if they were dating. Hilary departed from the Madden's mansion with her friend. We don't know for sure if Madden and Mathers are dating but time will tell. Until then enjoy the pictures that were taken at the party of Hilary and Joel posing for the camera.” Hilary closed the magazine, “oh gosh... damn media...” she said to herself as she threw the magazine on the table.
Hilary was about ready to get up but stopped herself hearing her phone vibrating. She looked at the caller ID seeing it was Bryce. She rolled her eyes and threw her phone beside her. He wouldn't leave her alone so she stopped answering her phone when he called.
Hilary sighed to herself as she watched the sunset. She placed her hand on her stomach. She was starting to show a stomach but she was okay with it. Her shirts usually covered it unless they were really tight. She sat there thinking to herself about her whole baby situation and it just made her want to cry. Tears formed her eyes but her sliding door opening interrupted her thoughts. She looked over seeing Joy walking up to her, “hey Hil. What’s wrong?” she asked sitting by her
“Nothing I'm just thinking about some things.” she said forcing a smile
Joy pulled her into a hug, “it’ll be okay Hilary. I promise” she said pulling, “but I just came up here to tell you someone is here to talk to you...” she said looking at her
Hilary looked at her confused, “who?” she asked sniffing back tears
Joy sighed looking at Hilary, “Joel...” she said looking at her, “do you want to talk to him?”
Hilary nodded, “yeah I might as well get this whole situation worked out... so yeah bring him up.” she said wiping a few tears away
Joy smiled at her weakly, “alright I'll be back.” she said disappearing back into the house
About five minutes later Hilary heard her sliding door open once again. She looked over seeing Joel walking out and started walking over to her. He sat down by her, “hey Hilary...” he said smiling
“Hey Joel. What’s up?” she asked watching him
Joel looked around, “I just came to see how you were doing. I haven't talked to you since Halloween.”
“Yeah sorry about that. Its just that I've had a lot of things on my mind.” she said looking at Joel
Joel nodded, “I understand.” he said smiling a little
Hilary sighed looking over at Joel, “I’m sure you want to talk about what happened on Halloween... well all I have to say is that I had an amazing time and i want to thank you for that” she said stopping, “but I just don't think we can date...”
Joel looked at her confused, “how come? Do you care to explain this to me so I can understand?” he asked
“Well..” she said looking over at him, “its not that I don't like you I mean I really do but there are two things keeping us from being with each other.” she said looking over at the side
“Okay...” Joel said waiting for her to continue
“Its just so hard to talk about” Hilary said as tears filled her eyes, “well number one is that my heart is damaged from my previous relationship I had. My ex boyfriend was abusive and controlling and we just broke up about a month ago...” she said trailing off
Joel took her hand into his, “I’m sorry to hear about that. You totally deserve better....” he said trying to comfort her
“Yes I know...” she said as more tears filled her eyes, “and number two is that well.... I'm pregnant with his baby... three months to be exact....” she said as tears fell down her face
Joel looked at her with sympathy in his eyes. He hated seeing her hurt and he could see pain her eyes. He pulled her into a hug, “Hilary I'm so sorry. I understand now why you wont let me in.”
Hilary pulled away looking at him, “Joel I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about my being pregnant. Its just something I'm not proud of and... I don't know... I really like you a lot but its just so hard to fall in love with somebody else knowing I have a baby on the way and stuff... oh god” she said breaking down crying
Joel held her in his arms. He felt so bad for her hurting and the pain she was going through. He just wanted to make it go away. He didn't care that she was pregnant. That guy she was with was an asshole and she totally deserves better. He wants to make her feel better. He can’t stand seeing her hurt, “Hilary its okay.. I'm not mad”
Hilary didn't say anything all she could do was cry. She was finally letting all her emotion out that was bottled up inside her. She couldn't take it anymore. She hurt so bad inside that she didn't know what to do. She felt bad for dragging Joel into the whole situation. She loved being in Joel's arms right now because it showed her how much he cared about her.
Joel just continued holding her in his arms letting her cry out all her pain that she had inside. He ran his hands through her hair trying to comfort her. Seeing her cry made him want to cry
About a half hour later Hilary was done with her crying fest. She pulled away wiping tears away, “Joel I'm sorry....” she said softly
Joel put his hands on her face looking at her, “Hilary you don't have to apologize for anything.” he said wiping some of her tears away
“I feel like an idiot. I'm sorry for dragging you into this. Its just you're just a really cool person....” she said smiling weakly
Joel laughed watching her smiling, “Hilary you're a really cool person too!”
Hilary smiled hitting him playfully, “Shut up!”
“I'm sorry!” he said sticking out his bottom lip trying not to laugh
Hilary shook her head, “why couldn't I have met you sooner? I mean like where would we be now if we found each other first?” she said looking at him
“I don't know but I know we would have easier lives.” he said smiling, “but I just want you to know that I'll wait as long as you want....” he said taking her hand
“Really?” she asked looking at him surprised
Joel nodded, “yes. I'm willing to wait until you are ready and until then I am willing to help you if you want me too”
Tears formed in Hilary's eyes, “Aww thanks so much Joel!” she said hugging him, “I’m glad that you understand....”
Joel hugged her back, “no problem Hilary. If you ever need anything just let me know okay?” he said smiling
“Alright I will!” she said hugging him as they watched the sunset go down
[A Month and a Half Later]
A month went by and Hilary was now four and a half months pregnant. She was starting to show a lot more than she did when she was three months pregnant. She tried not to wear that tight of shirts when she went out in public because of the media. Her and Joel hung out a lot more since the day she confessed everything to him. She was shocked that he was so understanding and caring. He was helping her mend her broken heart. Hilary was also looking for a house of her own so when the baby came she didn't have to bother her parents.
Hilary and Joel were growing closer by the day. They were always there to look out for each other. Today Hilary was meeting him at the DCMA Collective store. This was her first time going there so she was pretty excited. Joy came along with her so she could talk to Benji some more.
Hilary and Joy pulled up to the store and got out locking her doors. She pulled her handbag on her shoulder and started walking towards the store with Joy following her. It looked so cool on the outside and knew it would be pretty sweet on the inside. They opened the door and walked in seeing some celebrities there and ordinary people there shopping. The clothes were pretty cute. She would definitely have to come back here and shop for some. They walked over to the front desk where Benji was standing,
Benji saw Hilary walking towards him and smiled, “hey Hilary! What’s up?” he asked smiling
“Not much. I was supposed to meet Joel here....” she said leaning on the counter
Benji smiled watching her, “he’s in a meeting right now. He'll be done in like ten minutes”
Hilary nodded, “alright then I'm going to shop for some clothes!” she said smiling as she walked over to the racks of clothes and started looking through them leaving Joy behind to talk to Benji.
Benji looked over at Joy smiling, “hey Joy. What’s up?” he asked
“Not much. I decided to come with Hilary since I was bored at home.” she said trying not to blush. She always got butterflies when she saw Benji.
Benji nodded, “I see.” he said smiling as he looked at her
Joy smiled back but looked away. She didn't want him to notice her blushing.
Meanwhile Hilary was looking through all the clothes. They were too many shirts to choose from! She decided to grab one of each shirt and hoodies that was there for women. She ended up grabbing fourteen shirts and four hoodies. She also grabbed the DCMA Bullet pendant and the DCMA Knuckles small and large pendants and the bracelet. She also saw that they made baby clothes, which was really cute. She would have to come back and buy some once she found out what she was having.
She grabbed all of her clothes and went to go pay for them since Joel still wasn't done yet. Her total came up to about $800 dollars. She handed her credit card over and grabbed her bags after getting it back.
She looked over seeing Joel making his way towards her. She looked over at Benji and saw him and Joy flirting with each other hardcore. Those two just needed to start dating already!
Joel walked up, “hey Hilary. Sorry I was late and stuff that meeting took longer than expected.” he said smiling
“That’s okay! I went shopping while I waited!” she said holding the bags up
Joel laughed watching her, “I’m glad you had a fun time. Now lets go grab some lunch.”
Hilary pulled her handbag over her shoulder and picked up her bags, “alright lets go! I'm starving.” she said smiling as Joel grabbed a few bags of his own.
Hilary looked over seeing Joy talking to Benji, “hey do you guys want to join us for lunch?” she asked smiling
Benji looked at Joy and then back at Hilary, “sure! Lets go” he said to Joy as they both walked off towards Hilary and Joel.
Joel smiled as he held the door open for her to walk out. She walked out and Joel followed behind her. Benji and Joy followed behind them. They got to her car and put their bags in there so they didn't have to carry them around. Hilary locked her doors and started walking down the street with Joel, Benji, and Joy. Hilary and Joel laced their hands together as they did and made their way into a restaurant to eat lunch.
