Unbroken

Chapter 34

"Arabella you have to get up." John walks in the room opening all the windows. "You've been in here for a month laying in bed rotting away." Turning my head from the light I hide in the pillows.

"Leave me alone." I groan.

I've been in this room for over a month. I waited for weeks for Alex to come visit me. The twins or even just someone. The King came by, and all he wanted to do was talk about the case. Although he did awkwardly pat my leg when I wouldn't talk the first time he visited.

Rose and her mom came by and we watched movies. Every Friday is movie nights for us. Today's Sunday so I have a while to wait for them to come again.

Libby's come, but I haven't let her in. I just can't see her. I just know she's going to talk about Alexander, and that leads to thoughts about him and my baby. I think about my child everyday and not once have I been able to not break down and cry.

"The investigators here to talk to you. You better talk to. We have to catch this person Arabella." I don't want to worry about that person.

John rolls me over forcing me to sit up. "No."

Just as I give my answer the door opens with three women walking in the room. All in suits. Somehow with the confidence on their face, and the look of no bull shit on their face I immediately start blurting out my story till I'm a blubbering mess.

I tell them how me and Alex got in a fight. Me walking to the park and sitting against a tree on the edge of the park. Seeing the man and running. The hardest part is when I tell them how he grabbed the pipe. How he hit me over, and over, and over again till I passed out.

How when I woke up I was only on my bra and covered in my own blood. I tell them how they told me they were hired to kill my child then kill me. They wanted to see my face as I saw my child dead inside the box. With one final breath I tell them how the person that ordered this could see everything threw the camera.

One of the women start to talk to me and I nod my head while picking at my pink nails that Rose pained for me. "Is that all?"

"You know I could have gotten threw this." I say as they start to talk to John. "I could have gotten threw the beatings and the kidnapping. But when I found out I was pregnant, things changed. When I was little I dreamed about a family like mine. Till that was taken from me. I had Libby and she was the only light. Then Alexander even though I tried to fight it, but he left and the baby. That baby would have made two good things in my life." Turning back over I cry into the bed.

My life is ruined.

"We are working day and night to catch this person. We have guards outside the door and more guards stationed around the palace." As soon as I hear the door lock the damn breaks.

I had an actual fetus growing inside me. A piece of me and the boy I love. The boy I couldn't have even admitted to him that I love him. I would have I wouldn't be in this situation. It's my fault. My fault an innocent life has died. A life that would have looked up to me. Why do I deserve to live? Shouldn't I have died with my baby?

"Arabella!" I hear Libby shouting down the hall. Digging my face farther into the pillow I groan. Please don't let her know I'm in here. Oh wait this isn't the first time she's tried to come in here. The Queen has had to take her out many times, yet she keeps bothering me. "Arabella." I hear a whisper from the other side of the room.

"Leave me alone Libby." I groan trying not to to yell at her. She doesn't understand what happened. They just told her I had a school project that I had to work on and I had to stay at the University. When she asked why I was staying in my room Rose told her I got sick from running in the rain. Rose told me that when ever she asks Alexander he tells her to go ask someone else, because he doesn't know me like he thought he did.
