Chapter twenty one - being ignored
I began to stir from my sleep and as I opened my eyes I had to quickly shut them again because it was too bright.
I bought my hand to my face to cover my eyes and groaned as my head and stomach started to hurt.
"Lo?" I heard someone say. I opened my eyes slowly, trying to get used to the light. As I opened them I saw abi and Alice sat down at the side of my bed.
I looked at them and then at the room I was in, it wasn't my bedroom, not my bedroom I shared with joey.
They were both forcing smiles onto there faces, I looked at them confused; something was obviously wrong.
I looked around again as I heard the beeping of machines, I noticed all the different machines around me and figured I was in hospital. "What happened?" I asked. They both looked at each other then back at me. Abi did an awkward/nervous laugh that she always did when she was out in a position she didn't wanna be in.
"You passed out and now your in hospital" abi said. Alice played with her hands while looking anywhere in the room but at me. I scrunched my face as I grew more confused, something was obviously wrong or why were they acting like this?
It was then that I remembered the whole argument with joey and then end of our relationship because I went to see Mitch behind his back.
I don't regret going to see him though, I needed to go and see him to find out why he did what he did; I needed closure.
"What's wrong with you two?" I asked. "Nothing we were just worried about you" abi said.
"Why won't you talk to me Alice?" I asked bluntly and getting frustrated now.
She lowered her head so it was facing downwards to her lap, ignoring my question. "She's just tired" abi said cheery with an awkward laugh at the end which automatically told me she was lying.
"Oh Alice lost her tongue as she?" I said glaring at abi.
They both went quiet which only got me more frustrated, surely Alice couldn't be mad at me for going to see Mitch. I raised an eyebrow at Alice and she looked down once again.
"Ugh! What is your problem Alice?" I shouted.
"That's enough Lauren" uncle jack said as he walked into my room with joey behind him.
Both mine and joeys eyes locked and it felt like the world paused for a moment as we stared into each others eyes trying to see what each of us was thinking.
I couldn't normally tell what joeys emotions were but right now I could tell he was sad. If it wasn't for his red puffy eyes that indicated he had obviously been crying.
That was it for me something must of happened, something bad because abi was on edge and nervous, alice was completely ignoring me and joey had been crying and joey never cries.
"Oh that's enough is it?all I did was go and get answers from Mitch and suddenly the whole fucking word hates me" I snapped.
"We don't hate you babe" joey said.
Hearing his voice just made me angry, he treated me like crap yesterday and I hadn't told anyone yet but I had actually been scared of him for a minute. I know I shouldn't be but he was shouting at me so angrily and with so much hate he scared me until I had obviously passed out.
"Yeah?" I laughed. "You've e got a funny wa of showing it" I snapped.
"I'm so-" joey began but I cut him off. "I mean if you don't hate me joey, why was I so scared f you last night ey? You shouted at me like you hated me! You scared me so much I passed out" I shouted at him.
Uncle jack moved me away and back onto the bed, calming me down or trying.
Joey looked like he had just been slapped round the face but he had to know how I felt.
"I scared you?" Joey asked, his face growing more sad by the second. "Yeah" I whispered and looking down trying not to hurt him.
I looked back up at him and watched him swallow a lump in his throat "I'm so sorry" he whispered. I smiled weakly at him turning to uncle jack I tried to find out what was going on.
"Why don't you want to be near me Alice? What's going on?" I asked calmer.
Alice's eyes filled up and uncle jack put an arm around her. "I think should wait for the doctor to come and explain darling" kathy said as she stood with joey.
I furrowed my eyebrows together "explain what?" I asked but nobody answered. "What? Am I ill or something?" I asked scared.
I panicked when nobody answered "will somebody just tell her!" Abi snapped.
Uncle jack took both my hands in his and weakly smiled at me.
"You have to know were all going to be here for you, helping you sweetheart" he. Said. I nodded at him to carry on.
" you've had a miscarriage"
Soo there you go:) tell me what you want to see happen next.
