Broken Promises

18

3 Months Later

I woke up and smiled when I felt Emily's arm around me. I turned to face her and smiled as I saw she was already awake. She leaned over and kissed my forehead.

"Good morning baby." She said before kissing me.

"Mmm, good morning." She smiled and reached down to rub my stomach.

"Good morning Isabel." I put my hand over hers. She looked up at me with an angry look on her face.

"What's wrong?" I was confused as to why her entire mood just changed out of nowhere.

"You kept this from me Ali. I missed everything because of you." She gritted through her teeth. I started to back away from her. "Why would you keep our daughter from me?!"

I rose up in my bed with my hand over my chest, breathing heavy. I looked to my left and shook my head. That dream felt so real. I closed my eyes as tears formed in my eyes. It's been three months since I broke things off with Emily and to say I miss her will be an understatement. I smiled a little as I felt Isabel kick. I rubbed my stomach and talked to her a little before getting out of the bed and going to the bathroom to get ready for school.

At Lunch

"I can't believe you kept the pregnancy from her. That's fucked up Ali. Then you go and dump her to try to make it easier on yourself." Eli said before taking a bite out of his burger. I sighed as I threw the piece of carrot down.

"Don't you think I know that? I regret keeping it from her but at the time I wanted to tell her she started talking about how scouts are coming to see her play. She was so excited about that and she deserves it... Isabel would've just been a burden to her and would've ruined those chances of her getting a scholarship."

"That's not for you to decide, and quite frankly I don't think that's true Ali." Janel said. "The way you described Emily to us doesn't imply that she would think the baby was a burden and she would be here right now. You know, if you didn't dump her."

" You two love rubbing that in huh?"

"How many times has she called you today?" I took my phone out of my purse and unlocked it.

"Six and five text messages. I know y'all think that keeping this baby from her is wrong but she deserves a normal life. We talked about kids. Mostly about adoption because we thought she couldn't do this." I said as I pointed at my stomach. "But it would've happened later in life. Like after college later. She deserves somewhat of a normal life."

"You didn't make the baby alone." I looked down at my phone and focused on the picture of Emily and I. We were facing each other and she was about to kiss me. We have Aria to thank for this picture. I smiled a little before locking my phone and placing it back into my purse.

"If you miss her that much, why not call her?" Eli asked. I looked at him for a few seconds before looking down and sighing.

"Because I hurt her." I never wanted to break up with Emily. I just got angry when she said that Maya kissed her but then I started thinking that if she got with Maya, she would have a normal relationship. Who knows when my dad is gonna be done with the case he's working on? She should have someone there to keep her occupied. I'm with the person I want. I blinked and shook my head from the words she said the last time we talked. The bell ringing, signaling that lunch is over and we have ten minutes to make it to our classes startled me a little, bringing me back to reality. Eli was at my side before I could get out of my seat and outstretched his hand to me, helping me up.

Emily's POV

"Come on Coach, you have to put me back on the team." I said as I followed her into her office. She sat down in her seat and looked up at me as I stood by her desk.
