Chapter 16: I Hate You
John noticed that I was taking too long and decided to go downstairs.
"Abby?"
Nobody answers. Then he started looking for me through the house. He sees the light in the kitchen on and heads there and stops next to the door. And I'm sitting on the chair.
"Abby. Why did you take so long?"
"I… I needed to think"
"About what?"
I got up.
"I should go home"
"Why?"
"Carol is probably looking for me to leave and…"
"In the middle of the night?"
"Yeah. I'll just hair a taxi"
"No. Stay" – He gently run his hand on my arm.
"I need to go"
"Then let me take you home"
"No. I… can go by myself"
He held my arm.
"It's not good for you to leave in the night. And it's not good for the baby" – He gently caressed my belly.
"We're gonna be fine. Don't worry"
I left the kitchen and was beginning to go upstairs when he followed me and reached me quickly.
"Abby, what's going on?"
I turned, and I was with an angry face, which soon became a sad one.
"Nothing"
He looked deep in my eyes and I knew I couldn't fool him anymore.
"Abby"
"You tell me"
"What?"
I went downstairs and went to the living room.
"I hate you Carter"
"Why?"
I pressed the play button and left the message play. John couldn't believe.
