Chapter 7
Carol sat alone in the living area fidgeting with her phone, all she really wanted right now for David to call or text again "come on for fuck sake" she sobbed starting to feel herself go into panic mode, she began to shake.
"oh David where are you!" she screamed, she was never normally this emotional, it wasn't uncommon for David to be late home, deep down she knew she was worrying over nothing, in fact she wasn't to sure what she was worried about. She knew she didn't need David, with the amount of times they had split up they should have a place in the book of Guinness world records.
She flicked on the tv and gasped as a picture of what looked like David's car flashed up on the screen, she leaned closers trying to take in what the news reporter was saying, the car looked a wreck, there were two casualties both unknown and both pronounced dead at the scene.
"oh god oh no David!" cried Carol as she heard the door slam.
"Carol you in" came a familiar voice from the hallway "Carol!" hello"
Carol bolted up, she knew that voice anywhere, she raced into the hall and into David's arms "David I thought you were dead!" she announced as she held him tightly sobbing into his chest.
"well this is a change from this morning" chuckled David wrapping his arms round her.
Carol held him tightly sobbing uncontrollably as she did so "I never want to lose you, first I thought you had left me then I saw that on the news and..."
"hey hey hey carol it's ok" interrupted David giving her a little squeeze "I didn't know pregnancy could be so stressful for a woman, you just need to relax"
Carol pulled back and shot him a death stare "relax! Fucking relax! Your hardly the most reliable man on this planet! Your hardly the most understanding! You've never been there for a pregnant woman! Your not capable!" she snapped following up with a firm slap "get out! Get out of my house!" she wailed hitting, shoving and sobbing "get out you sorry excuse of a man!"
David backed away as carol kept hitting, he held his arms up around his head to try and soften the blows as carol kept on screaming at him.
"stay away from me and my baby" she said giving one final shove sending David arse over tit into a pile of bin bags.
He lay there watching carol hurry away back into the house.
"what did I say!" he managed to choke.
"Wicks, no point looking in those bin bags, there's nothing good i already looked" came the drunken voice of Phil as he stumbled past clutching a bottle of vodka under his arm.
David grunted and started brushing himself down looking over at the house, he stared up at the open bedroom window 'well in the end the chances we never took are the ones we regret the most' he thought heading over eyeing up a drain pipe "right" he muttered grabbing on slowly pulling himself.
"bastard" came Carol's voice from inside along with the echos of glass smashing.
David stopped where he was holding on tightly as his suitcase flew through the window.
"Carol!"he wailed feeling slightly afraid now, he was half way up the side of the house gripping a drain pipe that felt like it was going to crumble at any moment.
"Carol calm down!" he pleaded as his worldly possessions flew past him onto the ground below.
The pipe began shaking "oh shit" he mumbled before it sent him hurtling towards the ground...
Luckily his fall was broken by a pile of suits of which carol had kindly tossed out the window.
"ohh" he groaned "I really need to lose weight"
He struggled up flicking bits of dirt off his shirt, there is a special time late in the year before the cold raw nights of winter set in, when it's still warm enough to go outside and feel the darkness... This was that time, he had nowhere to go, he didn't want to leave he wanted to be here for carol.
It seemed she had different ideas.
He didn't bother to gather his things, most of it was wrecked now anyway.
It's so easy to take your partner for granted, not consciously perhaps, and of course not in the sense that you don't value them but maybe that comes with the territory? You try not to spend to much time thinking ahead to a time where life could alter dramatically,like in death, or in this case an unexpected baby on the way.
David limped around the square slowly in the settling darkness, all sorts of questions and scenarios racing through his mind, he answered with his subconscious, nothing was really registering, he was scared, and he regretted climbing that drain pipe, his knee was stinging, but he didn't think it was anything serious.
All the reassurance and positive words he spoke to himself didn't change his spinning mind, but he knew one thing, now was the time to stop running, now was the time to prove himself to Carol...
There you go people thank you for reading, hopefully you enjoyed it!
