Eli's POV
I woke up in the middle of the night like at 3am. I looked over to my phone and practically slapped my hand and not to call Clare Edwards.
I wanted to tell her the story that I was going to tell her but she slapped in the face and ran off. It was the night I told why I broke up with her; to tell you I'm not happy with the whole outcome on life.
6 years ago. Eli's 2nd semester in College year 1.
I was studying for the final exams of the year when I got a terrifying call from Krista. She was the girl I hooked up with at this rush party with my friends. I got her number after that night. Even though I felt guilty about cheating on Clare; I didn't want to see an asshole.
Krista told me she was pregnant.
It felt like my whole world was falling down and Clare's graduation was in three days. I need to do what's right for me and this baby. I'm going to be a father and I need to man up and grow up a bit.
In the span of three months Krista and I moved in together. I had to break up with Clare .I don't think Krista would want us to be together. I told Clare I broke up with her is because I was gone all the time; I didn't tell her the part that I got Krista pregnant. I think it would be too hard on her if I were to.
The night I broke up with her was the night my heart was broken also. I had to lose all connections with her; never speak to her. It was hell to tell you the truth, every time I would wake up I would have a routine; call Clare before she goes to school and call her during her lunch and sometimes we would talk at night but we had to stop because we would talk all night, sometimes 'till 3 in the morning! Now when I wake up I see Krista's face smiling at me.
It was hard seeing her Krista's face and not Clare's, in some ways it felt like I was cheating, but then again I had to remind myself that Clare and I weren't in a relationship anymore.
I was awoken one night with Krista crying in pains, "what's wrong?" I asked.
Krista just cried in pains, she was grabbing her abdomen and then finally managed to reply "My abdomen hurts sooo much!"
I stood there for a second then I thought of the baby "I'll go call the ambulance!"
'/'/'/'/'/
I was waiting in the holding room when the doctor came from Krista's room.
So what's wrong doc?"
He sighed heavily then looked at the ground then at me and replied "son, her body just wasn't ready. Krista's body rejected the baby."
When those words escaped his mouth it was like the whole world dropped. It felt like my heart sunk all the way down to my stomach and my throat became so dry all I could do was just stare at the doctor with his devastating news. I nodded and then walked towards walked towards Krista's room.
.;.;;.;.;.;.;;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;..;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;.;;.;
So now it's just Krista and I living in our 1 bed room apartment and I'm pretty happy; I guess. I mean I don't really have a life because Krista sort of…controlling. She doesn't really let me have a life, the only times I go out of the house is when I go to work or when Krista and I go out with her friends. I don't mind it much, but I'm a guy and I don't like to talk about shoes and designers; it's not really my thing. I would rather talk about when the next Scott Patterson books come or when this new comic of The Lagoon; or a really meaningful conversation.
Clare
I stayed up all night. I really couldn't sleep at all; I guess I'm still a bit shaken from earlier. I tried to tell myself that I was safe and everything was fine, but everything wasn't fine. I was still in love with Eli and he is still perfect with his family. Fucking perfect family bet he has the perfect house wife with his perfect kid; his child, he/she must be beautiful; probably with those intoxicating eyes and to die for smirk. All I know is that I'm obviously jealous of Krista; I hope she doesn't ever hurt Eli.
1 month later.
Life has been alright, I mean it hasn't been bad. Eli and I are back to normal, we both act civil with each other and no drama has occurred. I have met Krista, she seems nice. I would have never thought that he would marry her, she just seems so….regulating on everything. She seems like a very manipulative person, I don't really like her and she's made it very clear she doesn't like me very much either.
The other day while I was at lunch Krista came in to my office and spoke with me. I was surprised she didn't bring the baby, but he/she is probably at school.
"So you're Clare, right?" Krista asked me while she walked in my office. I was a bit surprised by her presence.
"Yea I am. And you are?"
"Krista; Krista Bryan and soon to be Goldsworthy."
"So you are Eli's fiancé! How wonderful to finally meet you!" I said. I didn't want to seem like a bitch, I didn't want her to think that I still love her fiancé; which was the case.
"The feeling is mutual, I just wanted to meet the girl that Eli talks about all the time, try and get rid of my competition" She joked faintly.
Eli talks about me? And to his fiancé? I mentally smiled to myself just thinking that Eli talks about me in front of his almost wife and he has no problem with it!
"Well nothing to worry about, we are just friends" I said back.
"That's why I came here; you see Eli has never had "friends" and I'm not too happy that he gets to spend the whole day with you and "bond" and with the wedding only 2 weeks away. Did he tell you that we are moving as soon as we get married; we're moving to Texas with my family. And I would love it if you didn't really talk to him at all; I would greatly appreciate that." She said. I really didn't like the tone she was using with me and Krista just gave me this ugly look that made me want to slap her in the face.
"Well how do you suppose I don't talk to a friend I have known since high school?" I asked. Oh crap! Why did I mention that I went to high school with him? She is going to ask me if he had any girlfriends!
"Oh, you two have known each other for a while haven't you?" She asked surprised at what I just said.
I nodded; I just hope she doesn't ask me the question-
"So did Eli have any girlfriends?"
What am I supposed to do?
"Um, yes he did we actually dated until her broke up with me while he was in college" I replied.
Then all of a sudden her face went pale and then asked "When did her break up with you?"
"Around mid- year in 2005, why do you ask?"
I knew why she asked me when because that's when she got pregnant.
"Oh nothing I was just curious..." she replied.
"Well look at the time, I have to go! It was um…surprise meeting you" she was about to walk out before I asked her.
"How's the baby?"
Krista turned her head at me and asked "What the hell are you talking about?" Her eyes were slowly killing me; the way they were just tearing through me.
"The baby, Eli told me you had gotten pregnant when you guys were in college." I replied.
Krista turned her body and walked over to me and said "Listen Clare, you don't make jokes like that. That is very disrespectful and if you don't mind I have to go!" Krista walked off again; leaving me confused. Why would she get angry at me for asking her a question about they're kid.
"What's wrong with me? I was just curious about your kid. The reason he broke up with me is to be with you!" I said as she came close to the door.
Krista scoffed then replied "Yeah, he broke up with you to be with me! And did he also tell you that I had a miscarriage you rapacious bitch!" She was nearly screaming at me and then she paced out my office and slammed the door. Yup, she hates my guts.
But how was I supposed to know that she had a miscarriage? Eli never told me that part; but then again when he tried to tell me the whole story of Krista being pregnant, I might have slapped him. But Krista is also an egotistical person. She assumes things too quickly, like she assumed that I knew about the miscarriage. I just hope I don't get kicked out at the wedding when Krista sees me…
A/N: So you guys it's getting really close to the end and I mean like the next chapter is going to be the ending sadly D: The next chapter for my other story "Say your good byes" is also the last chapter. I'm just going to finish all my stories and then come with a new story
I'm thinking like in two weeks I might start writing the new story I have. And to the people that I told the ending to I have completely changed it! Like I did a total 360 on it; I'm sorry for getting your hopes up. So on the next chapter, just be ready people, it will be…the ending! xoxo
Hope M :P
