I wake up to someone pounding on the door, I quickly get up and rub the sleep out of my eyes. I open the door out of the room, then I open the front door. What I see surprises me, more like who. It's Marcus Eaton, he has a gun too. I look into his blue soulless eyes, the ones that he passed to my father, then to me. He pulls the gun up and points it to my head, I freeze and slam my eyes shut.
"Hello granddaughter, I've wanted to do this since I found out about you" I hear the bullet click into the chamber and then a bang, I feel no pain, at all. I open my eyes and see Marcus on the floor, a bullet through his head. I quickly look up and see Riley, I smile.
"Ri, oh my gosh you're up, I need to tell you something" I say, thinking about our baby. He gets this disgusting look on his face.
"I already know, no thanks to you. That thing inside you is not mine" He spat at me, I looked up at him with a look of sadness and disappointment, all these weeks I've been with him, for him to just blow me off like this.
"Bu- but you saved me" I stutter out. He shakes his head, laughing.
"If I would've known it was you, I would have let him shoot you" With that he pushes me back and I fall onto the floor, making sure to protect my baby. I scream out, I'm crying and calling for him to come back, but he doesn't.
I wake up to my own screaming, it was just a dream. I curl into a fetal position and hold myself, sobbing. It was just a dream, but what's to say that he doesn't want the baby. I cry out some more, until eventually I fall back to sleep. When I wake up my face is stiff, probably from all the tears. I get up at walk into the bathroom. Saying I look horrible is a understatement, I look like all the life has been sucked out of me. My eyes are now a dull blue, not the bright vibrant they used to be. My hair isn't too messy, but it still is. I seem to be very pale and have also lost some weight. I quickly pull my hair up into a high ponytail and splash water on my face. I lightly but on some foundation and decide that I look at least decent.
I walk out of the bathroom and next to the dresser, that still doesn't have very much clothes in it. I take the first thing I grab, which is a grey v-neck. When I get into the dining hall I see that some people still eating breakfast, which is weird because it's basically lunch time.
"Talia?" I turn around to see the one person that I didn't expect to call me.
"Hi Ethan" I say quietly, turning back to put a biscuit on my tray, then sitting at a empty table. He sits next to me, I'm really not in the mood to talk to anyone right now.
"You look thin, and really pale. Are you ok?" I scoff, he's never cared about me before why all of a sudden now?
"I'm fine" I quickly finish whatever I was eating, get up and walk back to the apartment. I feel like Riley and his family should spend their time together, I was with him for over 2 weeks without leaving. Never once was all of his family able to be there with him, while I was at least. I hear a knock and I make my way over to the door. I look through the peep hole to find it blocked, I get a weird look on my face. I open the door to see the face of mom, she smiles and opens her arms, I of course walk willingly into them.
"Hi mom" I whisper.
"Hi baby" She pulls away and looks at me, then frowns.
"Tal, you look terrible. You need to eat and get nutrients for your baby. I know you think that you're older, but you are just 16 babe" I nod and look down at my black flats. I walk over to the couch and sit down, then rub my stomach, it has a tiny bump, barely noticeable.
"He's been asking for you. He's already sick of Uriah and Marlene pestering him about being more careful" She laughs, sitting down next to me.
"Mama, what if he doesn't want the baby. He's 17, he's going to be a leader soon. And I've been trying to avoid him all today and yesterday, when- when a week ago I wanted nothing more for him to wake up" I sob, I'm sick of crying. She brings me into her arms and just holds me, while I cry and scream into her chest.
"Talia" I hear someone breathe out. I quickly get out of moms arms and look up to see a person I feel like I haven't seen in over a month. Which I guess I haven't really. I get off the couch to get a better look at him, he looks good for where he's been. The casual black shirt that sculptures his abs, and his black jeans are now lose fitting sweatpants. His hair is still dark as it's always been, he still needs a hair cut. And his eyes- they've always been that color, ever since I've met him. They're my favorite ones, they are perfect.
"Riley" I gasp. He has crutches under his arm pits and Jace is right next to him, holding onto his bicep. He throws the crutches on the ground and hobbles over to me, his gunshot wound is pretty much healed, I guess the only reason he would be weak is because he hasn't used his muscles in a while. As he steps in front me of I look down and he wraps his arms around me.
"There you are" He smiles, pulling back, then lifting up my chin with his fingers. I look into his eyes, they are still bright and blue.
"I missed you, all of dad and mom talks about is being more careful" He laughs lightly, then looks at me and frowns. He's probably realized that I wasn't laughing, like he was. I look down at my protruding stomach, and how my shirt doesn't cover it like I wished it did right now. He looks down, seeing what I'm looking at. He gets this look on his face that I can't really read. He looks back up with me, then backs away from me, I can read the face now. It's not good.
"Are you serious? I've been in a fucking coma for like 2 months, and you go get pregnant? I can't even look at you" He turns away and I look at Jace to stop him.
"No, Riley it's-" He cuts me off, turning around.
"No, Talia, I can't believe that you did this. I always knew you were a slut. Do you even know who that father is? Is it Ethan" He spat at me. I feel my heart break, I'm speechless. My knees fall to the floor and I curl up into a ball.
"No it's not Ethans' it's yours" I whisper, sobbing into my hands once more. I don't hear feet moving anymore, I guess he heard me. I bring my head out of my hands and look at him, he gets another look on his face, it replaced the angry one.
"I'm sorry Tal, I didn't mean to..."
"No, it's my fault. I'm sorry I got pregnant. I'm sorry I went to breakfast early, cause if I hadn't maybe I would have been shot, not you. Then I wouldn't be having a baby. Is that what you want me to do?" He just shakes his head, looking down.
"Talia, no. I honestly forgot we had sex. It was a long time ago. I didn't mean that you were a slut... I was thinking out of my ass. I'm happy that you're pregnant" He smiles again and comes towards me, then wraps his arms around me and pulls me into the bedroom. He walks back out, probably telling mom and Jace to leave or something. He comes back and lays me on the bed, kissing my neck. I should be mad at him, but he's been gone for 2 months and I've missed him so much.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean any of it. I love you so much. I'm sorry I left you for so long" I nod, accepting the apology. He strips his clothes until he is in his boxes, there is still a bandage around the top of his chest. He then pulls my top and leggings off. He takes my bra off and I let him, he smiles and kisses my lips, then pulls away and puts his shirt over me. He pulls me into his chest and I melt into him. Before I drift off I hear 3 words that made me smile.
"I love you"
