ANOTHER WORLD: New Life

Chapter 26.

Chapter 26.

            I woke up in David’s bed, the last thing I remember is falling asleep in the car, Nathan must have carried me in.

            “Happy birthday beautiful.” Nathan’s deep voice made me jump and clutch my stomach as I noticed for the first time that he was lying beside me smirking, I narrowed my eyes at him and scowled.

            “Get out.” I ordered attempting to push him out of the bed but he wouldn’t budge so instead I got up, thankfully I was still in the clothes I was wearing yesterday. My bump was larger once again, day 6, which was month 6, this was happening ridiculously fast. I felt weak and frail, this pregnancy really was taking it all out of me, I think I’ll just go round to George’s and watch TV for the day. I pulled up my top to look down at my stomach, I could feel my baby moving around inside of me, it was a weird sensation but at least it meant that he or she was healthy, I should hope so as it’s taking all of my health out of me. Nathan gasped from the bed, I looked up and he was staring at my bump mortified. I looked down to see bruises covering the lower half of my bump. Was something wrong?

            “That baby shouldn’t even be inside of you if it’s causing you harm. You already know your survival rate is low. You shouldn’t have gone through with it.” Nathan spat the word baby, his words struck anger through my body I couldn’t help but be disgusted.

            “That’s murder!” I spoke through gritted teeth still unable to comprehend how he could have expected me to abort my child. A child I thought I would never get whilst in a relationship with David, though clearly David isn’t thrilled. Nathan got up.

            “I kill every day, and I’d kill anything that harms you.” His voice was low and threatening, though not threatening towards me, towards my child. I held my belly protectively after pulling my shirt back down. I suddenly became light headed unable to keep the scowl firmly upon my face. I double over and out of nowhere I was sick, however, like last time I was throwing up blood. I coughed and spluttered all of it out of my body and onto the floor, I was mortified. I stood up and looked at Nathan his face was one of sympathy. “Go and freshen up, I’ll clean this up.” He kept his distance but he had visibly calmed down from his anger. I nodded feebly before making my way to David’s bathroom locking the door behind me.

            I stared at my reflection in the mirror; my skin was ghastly pale, probably even paler than David’s right now. I ironically resembled a vampire as my blood was covering my lips and chin, I got to work cleaning it up. I couldn’t help but notice how skinny I was, I looked as weak as I felt. A couple drops of blood dropped onto the counter I looked up in the mirror fast to see where the source of the blood was, I watched as a slow stream of blood suddenly fell down over my top lip from my nose. It wasn’t healthy to lose this much blood surely? The flow of the blood got faster then suddenly, it was gushing out. I couldn’t move fast enough, I couldn’t do anything but watch and let it drip into the sink. It all became too much and a scream escaped my lips, a loud shrill one. Was I losing it? Was I becoming insane?

            “SKY!” Nathan’s voice was worried as I heard a loud bang, the door flew off of its hinges and swung open Nathan rushed over to me quickly. I watched in the mirror as he came up behind me, his hand came up to my nose with a bunch of tissue he held it there while his other hand rubbed up and down my arm comfortingly, I was too frail to hold up my own body it felt as if I was losing every single drop of blood from my tiny body, I relaxed back against his strong body for support as he continued to comfortingly rub my arm and hold the tissue to my nose. Great way to start off my 18th birthday. “Shhh, it’s ok, shhhh.” He whispered into my ear, our eyes met in the mirror as he continued to ‘shhh’ me. I hadn’t noticed the tears roll down my cheeks until then. How could one person go from being so vile to this? I was baffled
