A/N: So I wasn't planning on continuing this story but I don't have that much to do now so I decided that I wanted to write another chapter! ENJOY! :)

Adrian was sitting on the bed in her dorm room with tears streaming down her face. She was ashamed of herself for making a fool out of herself in front of her entire class. She just couldn't handle that lecture. And it wasn't her fault either. Because of the recent event, she decided to call Ben.

"Hey Adrian. Look I'm at a meeting with Dr. Fields can it wait?" Ben said in a hurry.

"Um, well, I guess," Adrian responded.

Ben could immediately tell that she was upset. "Adrian are you okay? You sound upset?"

"Um. Yeah, not really. Something happened today in health. I was just wondering if you could come visit me? I just really need to talk to someone. A friend. Who understands," Adrian admitted, quietly.

"I'll be right over. Bye Adrian."

"Thank you Ben. Bye. I'll see you soon."

Adrian hung up the phone then heard a knock on the door. She was hoping it wasn't her roommate whom had been in that health class with her. She got off the bed and tried to wipe the tears before answering the door. However, the tears just kept coming so she gave up and opened the door.

Standing there, of course, was her roommate, Beth. Beth let herself in and hugged Adrian. Although Adrian never really thought of them as "close friends" she accepted her hug.

"Adrian what happened in there?" Beth asked, worried for her friend.

"I-I don't really feel like talking about it," Adrian said between sobs.

"Adrian we're friends. And I don't like seeing you like this. I never thought of you to be one to cry like this," Beth said. She took Adrian's hand and led her to sit down on their couch. "Now, tell me what's wrong."

Adrian hesitated before she started talking. This girl knew absolutely nothing about her past. Not one detail. "Um. It's kind of a long story."

"I have time."

"I don't. My friend is coming over to visit soon."

"That's fine. Please, Adrian. Tell me what's wrong."

"It has something to do with my past alright?"

"The pregnancy unit? Do you have a kid? Adrian why didn't you tell me?"

This made Adrian cry harder. Yes she had a kid. No she wasn't with her. But she wished every single day that she was with her. "Look Beth. I had a really hard senior year. The summer before it I got pregnant. Me and the boy fell in love. We got married, moved into a condo. We were really really happy. Unfortunately, things just didn't work out for us."

"Wait so the boy took the kid? Is that what happened?"

"No. We um. I had a –a stillborn. She died before she had a chance to live."

"Oh my God Adrian I had no idea. I'm so sorry that's so terrible," Beth said before leaning in to give Adrian a hug.

Adrian hugged her back and cried into her new friend's shoulder.

"Look I really appreciate you trying to help but is there any way you can go somewhere? The boy that I had this baby with is coming over."

"Your husband?"

"Ex. Ex-husband," Adrian corrected.

Beth nodded. "Sorry."

"It's okay. Now, please, can I be alone?"

"Adrian I'm worried about you."

"No. Don't be worried. I hate when people worry about me. Just go. Please."

"Okay. Call me if you need anything. I'll be home around 8."

"Okay. Bye."

After Beth left, Adrian sat patiently waiting on her bed for Ben to arrive. Even if they didn't talk about Mercy, it still made Adrian feel better to talk to Ben. She didn't exactly know why. Sometimes she thought it was because she still loved him. She did. And she would tell him only if there was any chance that it would work out. But they both knew they have been through too many things and hurt each other too many times for it to ever work again. No matter how much they both wanted it.

About 10 minutes after Beth left, there was another knock on the door. Adrian got up and opened it to see Ben on the other side.

"Adrian. Hi. What happened?"

"Hey Ben. Sit down."

They walked over to the couch and sat down.

"So?"

Adrian took a deep breath before beginning. "Okay so I was in health and the unit that the teacher was lecturing on was..pregnancies."

"Uh oh," Ben interrupted.

Adrian nodded. "That wasn't the worst part. I was able to think about other things for the almost the whole class up until the last 15 minutes or so. The professor started to talk about stillbirths. And I-I don't know I couldn't handle it. I broke down and ran out of the classroom. It was so embarrassing."

"Don't think about what the other students think. I'm sorry Adrian. That's really awful. Was anyone there that you're close with? You know that helped you out?"

"Well Ricky was in the class. He followed me out of the classroom. I just hope that he didn't tell anyone why I left. As if they couldn't figure it out."

Ben pulled Adrian close to him and she lay her head down on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed the top of her head. "I'm glad Ricky was there for you. Does the professor understand why you left?"

"Yeah he knows now. He let me leave class."

"That's good. So are you going to that class tomorrow? Are they gonna talk about it?"

Adrian hadn't thought about that. She started to think that the lecture would be continued. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she forgot to answer Ben.

"Adrian?"

Adrian turned her head and looked up at her ex-husband. Her eyes were filled with tears that were about to spill over.

"Ben I miss you," Adrian confessed.

"I miss you too Adrian," Ben said, looking into the eyes of the women he once loves, or, still, loves.

"What happened to us? We were so happy. I loved you. You loved me."

"I don't know Adrian. We were young and foolish. I regret everything that I have done to hurt you. And I mean that."

"I know. Me too Benny. I'm sorry for everything. It's all my fault. If I hadn't tried to get back with Ricky we would still be together."

"No. It isn't your fault. It's both of ours."

"Ben?"

"Yes Adrian?"

Adrian sat up and looked into Ben's eyes. "What would you say if I told you that I still love you?"

Ben smiled lightly. "I would have no choice but to say that I still loved you too."

Adrian smiled then put her head back down on Ben's shoulder and he stroked her hair. They were both thinking about the possibility that they might be able to get back together.
