House of Night
Broken-Hearted Girl
By Hannah Curbishley
Chapter 5- Lost?
Zoey
Stevie-Ray walked me back to our dorm. I felt so weak, so empty, so broken. It was my own fault for being such a slut. I should have stopped Loren but I didn't. I'd lost Erik. The love of my life was gone. He hated me.
"Here we go Z," Stevie-Ray said, opening the dorm door. Stevie-Ray walked me into the room and sat me down on the bed.
"I'm going to get you something to eat," Stevie-Ray said.
"I'm fine," I lied. I was far from fine.
"You aren't fine Z. You're heart-broken and you're pregnant. The baby needs food. So do you. I'll be back," Stevie-Ray said, placing a soft kiss on my cheek.
"Thanks Stevie-Ray," I said curling up on my bed. The door softly shut behind Stevie-Ray. I sobbed into my pillow. I'd never felt this alone in my life. I gasped at the sharp stabbing pain in my stomach. That's when the smell hit me, the smell of blood, my blood. I looked to see my dress stained red.
"No," I sobbed. I was losing the last piece of Erik I had. Stevie-Ray came in. She was at my side in a second.
"Z, what's wrong?" Stevie-Ray said.
"I'm bleeding," I sobbed.
"Come on we need to get you some help," Stevie-Ray said.
"NOT NEFERET! I don't trust her," I shouted. I knew my baby was in danger but their wasn't a chance in hell I was going to Neferet. I didn't trust her with my baby's or my life.
"I'll take you to a hospital," Stevie-Ray said. I felt my legs give way. I grabbed onto Stevie-Ray. My head was hurting. I felt really dizzy.
"I don't feel well," I said before it all went black.

I woke up in a white room. I felt sick, and how did I get here? Why was I here? Then, it all came flooding back. What had happened? No! I was bleeding! The baby! My hand flew to my stomach. I started to sob. Was my baby dead? Stevie-Ray walked into the room, followed by my grandma and a man in a white coat.
"Oh Thank God, Z. Your awake," Stevie-Ray hugged me.
"Oh honey, how are you feeling?" Grandma said, kissing me.
"I feel sick. Is the baby ok? Please tell me is my baby still alive," I said, trying to fight back my tears.
"Your babies are fine, Miss Redbird," the man in white coat said. It took me a minute to take in what he just said. He said 'babies'.
"Wait! What? What do you mean 'babies'? I'm confused. What's going on?" I asked, feeling confused.
"You're carrying two healthy twins," the man said
"Congratulations, sweetheart," Grandma said, hugging me.
"Can I have a look at them?" I asked.
"Of course, I'll be right back," the man said. He came back a few minutes later with an ultrasound machine. There aren't words to describe how beautiful my babies looked. I started to cry. I was pregnant with Erik's and my twins and he wasn't here to see them. I'd lost him forever. I had to be strong for my babies no matter how hard it was.
Author Comment
Sorry, it's short. I'll try and make the next one longer. The next chapter will be set two months later. Also, please read La-Quinn's, AxStupidxLamb's and RenesmeexLullaby's fics. They're much better than me.
Please review!
Thanks,
