Chapter Nineteen: Forever Gone, Forever You

I wanted you to be with me
For so long I don't even know by now
But now that I've given up on you
Defiantly you see me

Brooklyn

I knew it was happening. And I almost called Sean. But, knowing that he wouldn't even come, I put the phone back down.

There's something very wrong about this
I think you knew all along somehow
You'll only take me to change my mind
Lonely, broken, and defeated

Where was Jay? I've been on bed rest and he told me that he was going to get me some ice cream. He hasn't come back yet. What do I do? The last time this happened, Oliver was here.

Just then, there was a knock at my door. Thank God he's back.

"Come in Jay! I'm…" I trailed off when it wasn't Jay that walked in the door. It was Oliver. I pulled myself to sit up.

"Brooklyn, I have to tell you something," Oliver said, completely oblivious to the fact that I was in labor. I cringed and took a deep breath.

"What is it?" I asked. The sooner I got him to spill, the sooner I'd be able to get to the hospital.

"Sean's gone."

A pang of sadness gripped my stomach. I retched forward, but nothing came up. I didn't really expect him to be here this day.

So far away I see the truth
I see through you
Now that I know the way you play
I don't want to

"Where did he go?" I asked him, trying not to cry.

"I did something…bad. I couldn't stand what he did to you. I beat the crap out of him Brooke. I'm sorry," he whispered. "I just couldn't stop punching him…"

"Did…did you kill him?" I choked out. A look of fear crossed Oliver's face.

"No! Of course not!" he said. He was surprised that I would even think that. "I went back to Emma's parent's house to see him. I was going to make sure he was okay, but still let him know how much he made me hate him…"

"And?" I asked. Finish the damn sentence!

"And he moved back to Wasaga Beach."

"Oliver, don't feel bad. In a way, I'm glad he's gone. I knew I'd never be able to depend on him anyway. He made that clear. But we need to stop chatting."

"Why?" he asked, confused.

"Because I'm having the baby!"

Oliver's eyes opened wide and he helped me stand.

"It's a month early though!" he exclaimed.

"I'm trying not to worry about that right now…" I trailed off. I wouldn't let that stop me from seeing my baby. Oliver got Maddox up from his bed and led me to the car.

"I'll call Jay and Emma," I told him, pulling my cell phone out of my purse.

And we made our way to the hospital.

Walking away I see the pain
You put me through
Lost in your game to change the same
Forever gone, forever you

A/N: This chapter takes place on the same day as the last one, Sunday, July 4th. The lyrics are from "Forever Gone, Forever You" by Evanescence and they own it. I know the song's out of order, but that's the way it fit best. Yes, I know, I know, another short chapter. All the rest of them will be very short as well. I miss all my reviews. I used to get at least ten every chapter. Please review so I know that this doesn't suck.
