Chapter 6
Emily POV
I wake up and glance at my clock. I groan, wondering who could be waking me up at 7 am. I get out of the bed and put my black silk robe on. I smooth my hair back a bit, and go to answer the door.
"what," i say, obviously a little irritated as i open the door.
"I thought you would be happy to see me," a voice says
I'm suddenly wide awake, and my eyes spring open fully in surprise.
"Maya, what are you doing here?"
"Um…Em…I kinda just need someone to talk to. Do you mind?"
"Oh of course, come on in." i step aside to let her in.
"have a seat, and make yourself at home," i say and watch her take a place on the couch I'm point to. I take a seat on the other side of the couch. I notice something is wrong. I can tell by the look on her face. She looks very upset.
"Maya, whats wrong?" i say as i place a hand on her shoulder,
She starts to cry and brings her hands to her face. I immediately pull her towards me into a warm embrace, and try to calm her down. I can feel her nails clinging to my sweater, holding on tight so that i won't let go, and i was going to let go. "Maya, I'm here for you for as long as you need me," i whisper into her ear. She pulls away and looks into my eyes, her eyes still watery and overflowing with tears. I gently wipe a tear off the side of her teeth and give her a small smile.
She finally stops crying and sniffles a little. "Em…." she says very quietly. i pull back completely, but still hold my hands in hers. "whats going on Maya?"
"I don't know what to do…"
"About what?"
"Jared…."
"Did something happen?"
Tears start flowing back down her cheeks, but she manages to contain herself. "I lost my baby.." she says in a voice so low i can barely hear her. before i am able to speak she says again, "i lost my baby," but this time louder and with a little more force. i wait so she can continue, and she does.
"You know, every time i think about it I still can't believe it. How is it that one minute i can have a human being growing inside of me, and the next minute that little boy or girl that i thought i would be taking care of, would love, could be gone in a split second. I would've been a great mother, and now i don't think i will ever get the chance to."
"what about Jared?" i ask
she chuckles in a mocking tone. "Jared never cared about me. He only asked me to marry him because he got me pregnant, and i think thats why i said yes. I thought that i could love him because of this kid that was growing inside of me, but now that there is nothing left between us, he will leave in a heartbeat. He wasn't even there when i was in the hospital. You were em, and my friend shouldn't be taking care of me over my own fiance. …...But you did…... And he didn't."
And thats when the tears begin to come back.
When her tears subside, She looks at me, and i can't help but notice how cute she looks with her puppy dog sad eyes. "Em, could you hold me today? no questions asked?" she asks me. I glance at the clock and notice how fast time has gone. It is now already 1 PM. We have been crying, and talking for almost 6 hours now.I look at her and i grab her hand and she looks confused. I let her know its okay with my eyes, and lead her to my bedroom. I pull back the sheets and let her climb in. I tuck her in and plant a soft kiss on her forehead. i climb in bed next to her. She turns towards me and begins to say thank you, but i stop her mid sentence. "No questions asked, no thank yous. okay?" she nods. I pull her close to me and she wraps her arms around me as she lays on my chest. After about 10 minutes of silent tears, i feel her completely relax, and i know she has now drifted off into a deep sleep. I hadn't felt how tired i was before until my eyelids start to close. I want to stay awake for her, but Before i know it, I fall asleep as well.
A/N this chapter kinda sucks but the next one will be better. Ive been kind of tired lately. Anyways, review review.
