Chapter 3 : The story ;
Lilly had said that really calmly and someone who didn't know her could have thought she didn't care about her deceased child but Scotty knew her better that that. He had guessed that she was still deeply hurt though she hadn't told him how old she was at the time. That's why he was very surprised when he saw that she wanted to tell him how it had happened.
-It was my last year in high school, I had a boyfriend with whom I was really in love, I would have done whatever he'd have asked me and we slept together a few times. He dumped me for a cheerleader two months before graduating. I discovered three weeks later that I was pregnant. I decided to keep the child because feeling I had to take care of someone else than me made me become a whole person. I was lucky it didn't show fast so I could finish the year without being forced to tell anyone, and then I left home in July. I found a shelter for young mothers or mothers to be where I stayed for six months, until Roseanne's birth.
She stopped telling her memories and Scotty could see it was painful for her to remember, her face seemed like beaten and she was almost crying only retaining herself because her partner was there.
-Lilly, you can stop if you want to, you don't need to bring all that back. said Scotty beginning to ask himself why he hadn't stopped her earlier.
-No, I'm fine, let me end the story. The day she was born I think I hadn't been happiest than that in my whole life, she gave me happiness and from this moment she was my only reason to live. The doctors had decided to keep me two more days to be sure everything was ok. The day I day should have been able to go out of hospital with Roseanne, she was found death in her crib probably sudden death of the infant. I let the hospital take care of her unreal if they've given her and other people who also lost a newborn there told me to charge the hospital, so did I but I don't think they found something, I ran away before they even told me the results of the autopsy.
When she ended her story she seemed not to be in her apartment anymore, but in the hospital on that day, her eyes weren't shining and her look was empty like someone who's been given too much medicine. The only think Scotty did was hold her close in is arms and wait if she had something more to say. They stayed like that for what seemed hours, he finally decided to talk.
-Lilly, do you want me to go? I think you need some sleep and you won't be able to do it if I'm here. Maybe you should take the day off tomorrow.
She went to bed trying to comfort herself. Tiredness finally won the battle and she fell in a dreamless sleep.
Sorry I didn't update earlier but I had a lot of things for school when I came back from vacation. I don't know how many chapters there will be but the story will end someday. I hope you'll like this chapters and I'm very pleased when I get your reviews. I think you've noticed that English is not my mother tongue but I'm trying my best to improve (it's only my third year of English at school). I can already say that Scotty and Lilly won't end up together in this fic, because I think it wouldn't be appropriated here.
