Alone in this world

Chapter 15

It's not okay

All night Finn stayed up with Marceline, comforting her and reassuring her that she's not a bad sister and she's not worthless. They stayed up until three o' clock in the morning since Marceline cried herself to sleep; Finn sung her a lullaby his mother sung to him as a baby to calm her down. It worked but she never let go of that pillow. He was okay with it, the next morning he woke up tired but content. He gave a sleeping Marceline a kiss before he went downstairs. Finn checked on Marshall who fell asleep watching TV, he sighed and turned it off, putting the blanket back on around him before heading into the kitchen to chug down a carton of milk.

"Hey bro."

Finn coughed and spit some milk out before turning to see his sister Fionna; he sighed and put the milk back.

"When did you get back?" Finn asked.

"Just now." Fionna looked down at her feet.

Finn groaned. "Fionna you have to stop staying out all night, at least call if you're staying over at that hot head's place."

Fionna sighed. "I know but- things kind of got-…intimate."

Finn rolled his eyes. "That's no excuse, just because you and he get really close doesn't mean you shouldn't call us, we were worried; Marshall was worried."

Fionna's eyes went wide. "He was-… worried about me?"

Finn nodded his head. "Yeah, he wouldn't shut up about you. He kept asking if we saw you while I and Marcy were out. He stayed up all night waiting for you."

Fionna's face flushed as she looked back at him in the living room. She sighed. "You know it's never going to work out, I have a boyfriend."

Finn sighed and nodded. "I know but he really cares about you, not sure what way but he just wants you to be safe."

"And I want that for him too but being around me caused him this." Fionna wiped a single tear away from her cheek.

Finn's eyes went wide. "Elias did this?! That bastard!"

"Finn please don't get mad, you know how jealous Elias gets. He says he's sorry-"

"Sorry my butt! He's never sorry about anything; he's lying through his teeth Fionna! Why can't you see that?" Finn shouted.

"He's not! He truly means he's sorry." Fionna protested.

"No he's not! He didn't mean it when his goons jumped me for money they said I owed him when I didn't!" Finn gritted his teeth.

"He forgot! It happens." Fionna was about to cry.

"It happened three times! Three time Fionna!" Finn raised his voice another volume.

Fionna busted out in tears. "Okay! He's really violent and insanely jealous, I admit it! But I know I can change him, I know I can switch him to good."

Finn was getting annoyed. "You were saying that for three years! He hasn't changed one bit, open your eyes Fionna! He's lying and he's playing you for a fool!"

Fionna wanted to fight back but she was defended, she couldn't come up with any excuses to her boyfriend's actions. She knew he was violent but she always believed she could calm him down but- it was hopeless and she knew it. Despite that, she kept trying and trying. Fionna thought back to many of the times he's hit her and said he was sorry; those times he was but- to other people he wasn't. He was possessive and very jealous to the point where he nearly killed Finn and Greg. Fionna fell to her knees crying, Finn felt his rage leave him; he had said what he needed to. He walked over to her and held his hand out.

"I'm sorry okay but- he's a bad guy and you need to accept that." Finn said plainly.

Fionna dried her tears before taking his hand. "I know but-"

"No, you don't know. Remember all those times he hit you and made you cry; remember when you were pregnant by accident and he made you lose the baby." Finn sighed as he pulled her to her feet.

Fionna choked at the last part. She remembered that time; she remembered it all too well.

Fionna was 15; she was walking over to Elias's apartment. She had a smile on her face as she walked, the reason for her happiness is because she finished coming back from her doctor, she was pregnant for 4 months but she hid it behind increased eating. She fooled Elias and her family but she believed they had a right to know. She called her mom and her sister and her uncle and- well everyone in her family. They were happy for her but also cautioned her to be careful with it. She told them not to worry since she can handle it. All she had to do now was to tell Elias.

Fionna skipped up the concrete steps and opened the door; she walked up the spiral staircases until she reached the third floor. She walked up to the apart that had the number scribbled off; she knocked on the door and waited patiently. She was smiling and cheery today, she had always hoped to have a kid but never so soon; maybe after she turned twenty years old but this works too. She grinned madly as she saw the door opened to see a man about five feet and eight inches taller than her; his mohawk dyed various shades of orange as he wore a black tank top with ripped blue jeans. He was covered in tattoos; he had a cigarette in his mouth and blew the harsh smoke into her face. Fionna coughed and fanned out away from her.

"Hey FiFi, what bring you here." Elias leaned up against the frame of the door.

Fionna was about to burst with excitement. "Elias, I came to tell you something important!"

Elias drew in the cigarette's chemicals before blowing the smoke in her face again. "Yeah what is it?"

"I'm pregnant!" Fionna shouted.

Elias's face shifted to shock, Fionna misinterpreted it as good shock. She bounced around excitedly.

"Yeah! I've been thinking about names and I was wondering if we could name it like Jamie if it's a boy- or or! Um- Chris! And if it's a girl we can call her Joan!" Fionna continued to blabber on about names, baby clothes and food.

Elias's face stayed shock before going back to his normal bored look. He grabbed Fionna's arm roughly and pulled her with him as he moved from his apartment door to the staircase. Fionna was confused; she looked at him and at the stairs before turning back to him. He pulled her close to him.

"I ain't going to be a dad." He whispered to her.

Fionna's eyes widen with realization, before she could react; she found herself falling. Her whole world spinning before everything faded to black.

Fionna woke up in the hospital, she looked around groggily. She moved her head around and saw she was hooked up to an AV machine. She saw a nurse besides her writing on a clipboard and her Brother, Finn talking to her. She couldn't hear what they were talking about but she made out some words.

"She's-….alright. Bones-….okay….shattered- jaw…..baby-"

Fionna's eyes widen a little, what about her baby? She urged herself to listen more before she passed out.

"Miscarried-…..too bad….accident."

Fionna felt tears roll down her cheeks, her baby? It's- gone? No, Fionna closed her eyes turned them out. She didn't want to hear any more; she heard enough. Her boyfriend- Elias, he- aborted the baby in his own way; he killed it and he killed a small part of her. Her motherly love was shattered with the loss of her child. She cried herself to sleep. Regretting her decisions and the baby.

Fionna grabbed onto her brother, crying. "I was three months, the baby- it was- I could ha-"

Fionna didn't finish, she was broken enough as it was. Her life was ruined when that day happened. Ever since then, every time she and Elias had sex he would make her take a pregnancy test and it turned up positive then she would have to abort it before it could grow. She was ashamed each time she had to abort the growing seed inside of her because it made her think of how many times she could have had a baby; each time she felt the crippling failure of being a mother and standing up to Elias. She wanted to fight back but- she couldn't because he broke her down to many times. She didn't have the strength to leave him anymore.

While she cried into his arms, Finn sat down on a chair and cradled his 16 and half sister in his arms. He sighed and hummed for her. She would calm down a little but it wasn't enough so, he sung her their lullaby. It soothed her to stop crying but it couldn't take the pain she felt away. As Finn sung, little did they knew; they had a pair of ears listening in on them. Marshall was awake for a while now; he heard their every word and he was pissed. He knew Elias was bad but now that he knew his true self; Marshall narrowed his eyes. He got up and carefully walked to the door. He slipped on his boots and leather jacket, despite his injuries; he was going to show that man a lesson or two. Just like that; he left.
