Secrets
"Susan!
What are you doing here!"
Abby was frantic.
"I was
about to ask you the same thing! What the hell happened, Abby! What
are you doing!"
Abby's rage suddenly turned to
sorrow.
"Susan, please don't be mad!"
"Abby, what
happened?"
"I don't know. But don't tell Jake!"
By
this point, Abby was pleading with tears strolling down her
face.
"ABBY! He doesn't know about this! Is it even
his?"
"Of course it's his, Susan! But no, he doesn't
know so please don't tell him!"
Susan calmed down and decided
to play along in Abby's game.
"Okay, Abby. I won't tell him.
But I think you should."
"NO! NO NO NO NO! I can't!"
"I
think you need to. Why can't you?"
"I got scared. Jake
doesn't know I was pregnant. But we were trying to be. But I got
scared. He'll kill me if he finds out!"
"No he won't,
Abby! If you guys were trying to get pregnant, then he loves you. He
wouldn't kill you."
"Whatever. I still can't tell him! And
neither can you!"
"Ok ok! I won't tell him. So how long
have you been here?"
Abby looked at her watch. It read 8:06.
Susan had been gone from the hospital for over an hour.
"Um…
almost 12 hours."
A woman came in with Abby's clothes and said
she was ok to leave whenever she was ready. Abby thanked the woman
and started to change, ignoring the fact that Susan was standing
right in front of her. Susan looked at her.
"Abby?"
Abby
responded with a somewhat guilty tone.
"Yea?"
"What
is that? Abby!"
