Ellie looked at me and tilted her head “You want to tell Brad, don’t you? Before you talk too much about it, huh?”

Jesus, how does this girl do that? “Christ, Ells, you getting the gift of knowing all?” I said with a giggle

Everyone let out a sh and Ellie rolled her eyes “I just know if it was me, I wouldn’t want to really talk about it until I told Gunner ”

Ari nodded her head “Shit, when I ith her to the doctor and she found out she was pregnant I wasn’t allowed to say a word about it until she told Gunner ”

Ellie shrugged her shoulders and took a sip of her tea I laughed as I placed my hand on my stomach

Heather looked and , Manda? Have you heard from his parents?”

I shook my head and just the mention of his parents made my blood boil “Nope, not a word His al action because they wanted to see Maegan, but Brad went to their house one night for dinner and that was the end of it He ca it again He seemed so sad, and when I asked him what had happened, he toldus again ”

I looked down and away and felt the tears building inI looked at each of them and saw the love in their eyes

I sed and cleared my throat “I know it’s better this way, but I can’t help but feel like it’s my fault that Brad walked away from his own parents His future was set, ya know? I mean he would have taken over his father’s business, had more an would know both sets of her grandparents ”

“Manda, you can’t keep doing this,” Ellie said

“I know Believefor all three of us, but it still makes me sad It’s his parents I mean his dad was always okay, just his mother ”

Ari shook her head and said, “If they really cared, they would have never have done the things that they did, Amanda I mean I know most of it was the evil bitch who shall not be named, but still, Brad’s father stood by and allowed her evil to take place ”

I let out a giggle and nodded in agreement

“I know this Really I do I’lad I have such a close relationship with randparents that love her more than life itself ”

I sat back in ht and how Brad had made such sloeet love to me
