Broken

Chapter 11

~Harmony's PoV~

I opened my eyes and saw I was in a hospital room. What happened? I looked around. Someone was in the room with me. At first I thought it was Ben but when I noticed who it really was my eyes widened.

"Ch-Chase. Wh-what a-are you doing here?" I stuttered.

"Well, I found out that you got in a car accident so I came to see if you're alright."

"So that's what happened," I muttered to myself. "But why?" I asked him.

"Because you're my girlfriend. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm fine," I said confused. Is he actually being nice?

He smiled. "Good." He put his hand to my face and I flinched. I don't think he noticed. "So where have you been?" He actually sounded concerned.

"Why are you being nice to me?"

"Why wouldn't I be? You're my girlfriend."

"No, I'm not."

He looked confused. "What?"

"I broke up with you, remember? And you threatened to kill me. I'm dating someone else now."

His expression turned to hurt. "Why?"

Anger boiled in me. "What do you mean why?! Because you abused me! Because you got me pregnant and pushed me down the stairs to get rid of the kid! Because you threatened to kill me when I tried to break up with you but instead you broke my arm!" When I finished telling him everything I cried. Cried for the times he hurt me. Cried for my child that died because of him. Cried for everything he's put me through. But mostly, I cried for the time I wasted with him.

He had a guilty look on his face. "I am so sorry." He hugged me and I cringed.

"Get away from her!" Ben came into the room with an angry expression on his face. Chase just kept repeating to me that he's sorry.

"Ben!" I said happily.

Chase finally let go of me and looked at Ben. "Who are you?"

"Her new boyfriend," Ben answered.

"What?" Chase asked as he looked at me. He had a hurt expression. "Is that where you were?"

"Yeah. I ran into the road 'cause I wanted to die and he happened to be the one in the car. I stayed with him and over time we fell in love." Wow. I never thought I would be telling him all of this, let alone ever talk to him again.

"But I thought you loved me."

"I did until you started abusing me."

The look on his face changed. It now read guilty. "I'm so sorry. But the reason I abused you was because... I was afraid of losing you. I thought that if I abused you that you would be scared that I would hurt you if you left me but obviously I was wrong. I knew how stupid it was and I always felt so guilty about it but I did it anyways. I'm so sorry."

"I can't forgive you. You hurt me so much. But even if I forgave you I wouldn't come back to you. I'm with Ben and I love him."

"But-"

I cut him off. "I can't. I think you should leave."

He opened his mouth to argue but Ben cut him off. "She said leave." He put his arm around me.

Chase sighed. "Fine." He turned around and walked out of the room.

Ben looked at me. "Are you okay?"

"I'm better now that he's gone. I just can't believe he actually thinks I'm gonna forgive him. And it's so stupid that he thought I would stay with him for hitting me."

"I know. It's ridiculous." He paused. "So other than that how are you?"

"Good."

He smiled. "Good. I was so worried."

"Really?"

"Yeah." He leaned in. "I love you."

I smiled. "I love you too." I kissed him.

"So where were you going when you got in the car accident?"

I froze. I knew that was coming sometime. "Um... I... Uh..."

"It's okay. You can tell me."

I sighed. "Okay. I had just left the pharmacy."

He looked confused. "Why'd you have to go there?"

"Well, here's the thing... I'm pregnant."

His eyes widened. "What? Are you serious?"

"Yeah. But I might not be anymore 'cause of the car accident."

He actually looked upset when I said that. "Oh."

"What? Aren't you happy about that?"

He sighed. "Well here's the thing... I'm glad you're pregnant."
