The life of a Fangirl
Chapter Ten
It's the day after I found out that Laura will be the assistant in my Advanced Fiction Writing class for the whole school year. I'm still annoyed, and angry, and feeling a lot of emotions right now.
It is currently one of my study periods and I am in mine and Levi's room, typing up an essay on my laptop, sitting at the single desk in the room.
There is a knock on the door.
"Come in." I call out as I spin around, waiting for the person to enter.
The person enters and I see that it is Laura.
"Hey, Cath." She says, closing the door behind her.
"Get out." I tell her as calmly as I can.
"What?" She asks.
"Get out!" I say, a little angrier.
"No, Cath, I'm not getting out." She says.
"Why? Why are you here?" I ask.
"I'm here to speak to you…"
"No, I meant why are you the assistant of advanced fiction writing? Is it to upset me?" I ask, cutting her off.
"Cath, I lost my job and needed another one so I thought I'd come here. I want to get to know you and your sister." She says.
"Well, I don't want to get to know you. So can you leave, please?" I ask.
"No. I read what you wrote in class yesterday. I'm sorry you felt that way." She says.
"No, you're not, get out." I tell her.
"No. I am sorry, but I don't want kids, I don't want grandkids, I don't want to have responsibilities. I don't want a family, that is why I left." She explains.
"I know. I know you hate us…"
"I don't hate you, I just can't handle being a mother. I'm trying to be friends and make amends to both of you, but you're not letting me in." She says.
"If you didn't hate us, if you cared about us, you wouldn't have left us. I don't want to let you in. I don't need a mum anymore. I don't need you anymore. All I need is dad, Wren, Levi, his family, Reagan and my baby. I don't need you, so please, get out. I have work to do." I say.
"You really don't need me. If you didn't need me then you wouldn't have gone and gotten pregnant." She says.
"This baby is not some drunken mistake, we had sex because we love each other. We used a condom and it broke, okay. Maybe if you didn't have sex with my dad we wouldn't be here right now, and you wouldn't have to deal with this problem. The difference between me and you is that I love my baby, my baby isn't a mistake even if we didn't plan it, you didn't love your babies so you left them, we are mistakes." I explain, getting close to tears.
"Yeah, you were mistakes, but that doesn't mean I don't love you." She says.
"You left us." I say.
"That doesn't mean anything." She says.
"Yeah, it does. You left us and we needed you. We needed our mother. Instead we ended up taking care of ourselves, and of dad. He had to look after two girls, help us when we got our first periods, he did everything you should have been there to do. But, we don't need you anymore, so can you please just leave?" I say.
"I had to leave you." She says.
"Why? Why did you have to leave your kids?" I ask.
"Because I wasn't a good mum, I couldn't handle being a mum, I couldn't handle anything. I had to get out of there. I had to leave because I didn't want to ruin your lives." She says.
"You leaving ruined our lives, and when we've suddenly got things back on track you decide to come back. We don't need you." I yell as tears fall down my cheeks.
I stand so I can lead her out of the room but a pain in my stomach stops me. I cry out in pain as I fall to my knees, gripping onto the bed with one hand and holding my stomach with the other.
Laura rushes over to me.
"Go away. Let go of me. Leave me alone." I yell at her and she backs up.
"I'm sorry." She says.
"No, you're not. You want me to lose my baby. Just piss off." I say as I grab my phone from the desk. Another pain rips through me and I cry out again as I try to find Levi's number.
I find it and press the call button, pressing the phone to my ear and waiting for him to answer me.
He does, after five rings.
"Cath, what's wrong?" He asks, worried.
"Laura's here, in our room. There's something wrong with the baby. It really hurts." I tell him, tears pour down my cheeks as I do.
"Okay. I'm on my way." He says before cutting off the call.
I put my phone on my bed and cry out as another pain surges through my stomach.
I see Laura taking a step towards me and I glare at her.
"This is your fault. I swear to God if something is wrong with my baby, or if my baby dies I will kill you." I yell.
"Cath, I'm sorry." She says again.
"No, you're not. Leave me alone, please." I say, still crying.
I pick up my phone again and call my dad. He picks up on the third ring.
"Hey Cath, what's up?" He says.
"Daddy, I need you. Laura is working here and she came to my room. There is something wrong with my baby. It really hurts. I'm scared." I tell him.
"Okay, sweetie. Breathe okay. I'm coming, I'll meet you in the hospital, okay." He says.
"Okay daddy." I say.
"Everything is going to be all right. I promise." He says before cutting off the call.
That is when Levi, Wren and Reagan run into the room and over to me, just in time for another pain to go through my body. Levi grabs my hand and I squeeze it as I cry out.
"It's okay. Everything is going to be okay." Levi says.
"We need to get her to the hospital." Wren says and Levi nods.
He wraps an arm under my knees and another round my shoulders before picking me up, bridal style. I wrap my arms around his neck and he takes me out of the room, Wren, Reagan and Laura follow.
"Keep her away from me." I tell Reagan, who nods in response and faces Laura. Wren continues to follow Levi and I.
"I'm scared." I say quietly.
"I know. But it's going to be okay. I promise." He tells me.
He continues carrying me through the halls of the building, leading us outside and into the carpark. We're nearly at the car when I black out.
Hey Fanpeople, how are you all?
Happy New Year's Eve guys. Hope you all have a great night.
