I found out I should have answered my phone that night. I was getting a call from Chris's sister wanting to know what was wrong with him apparently after he walked into the house he just went off and left the house again. Her and her mom were worried about him and were wondering if I knew anything about it and if he was possibly with me. I found out the next day why he left the house so suddenly and what he did. Jake walked into school the next day with a black eye, busted lip and scrapes on his face and it was all bruised up. It looked so bad everyone wondered if he got in some kind of accident. It wasn't until I saw Chris later that day and saw his knuckles busted open and red that I put it together. I was so mad that he went and did that because it was so stupid but I was also so grateful that he went and did it because he did it for me, he did it over me. He won't admit it but I know it was him and he just winked at me when Jake walked by before showing no sign of it again. Chris beat Jake up because all he knew was Jake upset me.

It has been a few weeks since that all went down. Chris has stayed over a few nights but not much. His mom is really starting to wonder what is going on and because no one knows yet I want to keep it that way. So he comes over during the days most of the week but he mainly has been working at staying home and spending time with his family like I have been with my family. Sleep has come somewhat better, I am just tired all the time now and can take naps but at night sleep doesn't happen all the way through. It is much better than it was but I'm still trying to chase sleep all in all.

I walk downstairs after my shower. While getting dressed I noticed my bump has gotten a little bigger. It is somewhat noticeable now in almost all of my clothes. It is still really tiny and no one could say what exactly it is but it is there. I will be four months in just a few weeks, doctor Harper says I should be able to find out the sex of my baby around that time and I'm so excited to find out. I don't hear any noise when I reach the bottom of the stairs. I look around and I don't see anyone either. Feeling confused I walk into the kitchen.

I see a note on the counter and pick it up reading it,

You were sleeping and we didn't want to wake you, we went to grandma's sweetie. Will probably stay the night, be good and enjoy the quiet house tonight. Call if you need anything.

Love Mom.

I sigh and put the note back down and leave it on the counter before going to the fridge to make a sandwich. I take the sandwich and a drink to the living room. I sit down on the couch and put on a movie as I start to eat my sandwich. I just lean back and enjoy the quietness.

I have been watching movies and just lying around and being lazy all day. I have actually really enjoyed it. I went outside for about an hour and laid out in the sun just enjoying the warmth from the sun but I started to get hot and went back into the house and got something to drink. I then went back into the living room and got comfy on the couch again and just enjoyed being lazy the rest of the day doing nothing. I lounged on the couch, I ate junk food and ordered a pizza which I ate a few pieces. I look at the clock on the wall and realize it is getting late and that my family must not be coming home tonight after all. I yawn and get up and walk over to the door and lock it. I make sure all the doors are locked before sitting back on the couch and laying down as another movie starts.

I wake up and realize a new movie is on from the one I fell asleep on the couch to. I stretch out and look at the clock. I get up and walk into the kitchen and heat up a piece of pizza and get something to drink. I sit at the island and drink my drink and eat the pizza before placing my dishes in the dishwasher and starting it. I make sure everything is clean before turning off the light.

I walk back into the living room and turn off the television. I pick my little bit of a mess and fold my blanket and lay it back on the couch. I walk over and turn off the light before walking upstairs to my room. I look at my bed and sigh really wanting a shower before getting into my clean bed. I grab one of Aiden's t-shirts from his room and some underwear before walking into the bathroom. I turn the water on and feel the steam already filling the room. I strip from my dirty clothes and get into the shower letting the water run over my body and ease any sore muscles I had. I stand for a minute just letting the water run over me and enjoy it. I wash my hair quickly and then wash my body before rinsing it out. I turn the water off and twist my hair letting the water hit the shower floor. I let my hair go and cascades down my back. I grab the towel and wrap it around me. I get out and grab the other towel and run it through my hair before hanging it up. I walk over to the sink and brush my teeth while I dry off some.

I hang my towel up and grab my underwear and put them on. I grab Aiden's t-shirt and pull it on over my head, it hits me about mid-thigh. It is so comfy though and it just makes me feel better and comforted and very comfortable. I turn the light off and walk across the hall to my room. I pick up my brush and run it through my hair. Once my hair is brushed thoroughly I put my brush back.

I walk over to my bed and pull back my blankets and get in bed before pulling the blankets up over me. I reach over to turn my lamb off when my phone starts to ring. I pick it up and see Aiden calling. I smile and pick up, "Hey." He laughs, "We are just calling to check on you." I smile, "I'm fine." I hear my mom, "Are you sure sweetie?" I laugh, "I'm okay mom. I was just about to go to bed actually." I hear laughter, "Okay sweetie, night then, I love you." I smile, "I love you too. Tell Grandma I love her too." I hear her say she will. I hear Aaron, "Night Aubrey, I love you." I smile and feel my heart swell some, "I love you too Aaron. Sleep tight and be good." I hear noise and then Asher and Adam both say, "Night." I laugh when I hear my dad, "Those two are going to be the death of me. Night Princess, we will be home in the morning. I love you. Call if something happens or you need us to come home early." I smile, "I will be fine daddy. Night, love you." I then hear Aiden, "Your off speaker now so how are you really?" I laugh, "I really am fine. I watched movies and ate junk food all day." He laughs, "Sounds amazing." I laugh and nod, "It was. Oh by the way I borrowed one of your shirts to sleep in." I hear him laugh, "Oh really?" I nod and smile, "Yeah. I wanted something comfy and bigger than my shirts." I hear him laugh, "It's all good Aubs, if it makes you feel good and you are comfy, I'm okay with it." I smile and yawn. I hear him laugh, "Get some sleep Aubs. Night." I smile, "Night Aiden." I hear the phone go dead and I lay it back on the night stand by my lamp. I turn my lamp off and move down in my bed as I get comfy and lay down. I close my eyes drifting off to sleep.

I wake up feeling wrong. Something is off. I feel pain, like real excruciating pain. I scream and sit up startled. Something is seriously wrong. I start breathing heavily. I start to panic as I scream between my heavy breaths. I hurt, man I hurt so badly. I reach over to my phone and knock my lamp off and hear it shatter as it hits the floor. I manage to unlock my phone and try to call the first person on my list but I can't manage to hit the right buttons and my phone keeps doing things besides calling because I can't hit the right buttons. I scream as the pain increases and hit the first button I find, I look down and see it is Chris's name, I hit it again. I take a deep breath and manage to hit the buttons to type out.

Help.

I hit send as I scream again and hit the button to try to call Uncle Alex knowing he will come, knowing he can help me but the phone falls from my hands onto the floor before I can hit the call button. I start to tear up knowing something is seriously wrong and I am home alone and can't do anything let alone move to reach my phone and call someone for help.
