Chapter 7
Hazel
I was admitted into the hospital last night with stomach pains. Isaac got here this morning, but I've been kind of sleepy because of the new meds I'm on. Right now were just listening to Hectic Glow while we wait for my mom to come back with lunch. Isaac's phone rings and he walks over to the bathroom guiding the way with his stick thingy. My mom comes back holding a tray of gross hospital food for me to eat.
"Alright. Today we have chicken noodle soup and fresh strawberries." I take the tray from her.
"I highly doubt these strawberries are fresh." I saw, popping one in my mouth.
"Just be thankful you're healthy enough to eat anything." My mom says taking my hand."
"Where's Isaac?"
"He got a phone call; he's just in the bathroom." I say gobbling down my water.
"Alright. Is it okay if I watch some TV?" my mom asks taking the remote.
"Sure." I say. We settle on a rerun episode of The Vampire Diaries, my mom making faces of disgust every few seconds.
Isaac
I guide myself into the bathroom to answer my phone. I hear the door open then the faint sound of Hazel talking to her mom.
"Hello?" I hear sobbing at the other end of the line.
"Kate? Kate are you okay? What's wrong?" My heart hammers in my chest. Oh god, what if she's had a relapse? I can't lose her too.
"Kate, honey, please talk to me!" Hers sobs lessen.
"Isaac…I don't know how to say this."
"I can handle it Kate, just tell me what's wrong." I hear her take a deep breath.
"I'm pregnant." I almost drop my phone. I swear my heart stopped beating.
"Kate…I…That can't…" She's crying again.
"Remember a few weeks ago, when Hazel first went into the hospital, and you came to me house crying, and one thing led to another and then…" My head is spinning. This can't be happening.
"Kate…Have you told your parents? " I ask, my voice shaking.
"No, but they'll find out soon enough when I go in for my next doctor's appointment."
"Kate, I know it will be hard, but you have to tell them. They'll be madder if they find out some other way, then if they hear it from you."
"I'll try but that's all I can promise." I nod to myself.
"Do you want me to come over?"
"No that's okay, stay with Hazel; I'll just wait for my parents to get home."
"Okay." There's silence on her end of the phone.
"Kate?"
"Ya?" She says sniffling.
"I love you."
