House of Night
Broken-Hearted Girl
By Hannah Curbishley
Chapter 6- Comfort
Zoey's Point of View.
Stevie-Ray and the Doctor left, left me alone with Grandma. As soon as the two had walked out of the door, Grandma turned to face me, her eyes looked sad. Sad and disappoint.
"Oh Zoeybird." Grandma said. The tears were falling not just from Grandma's eyes but from mine, I felt so awful.
"Grandma I'm so sorry. I'm such a stupid girl." I said in tears. My eyes were sore, the tears kept falling.
"Oh Zoeybird. We all make mistakes. I just can't believe that you would make this mistake." Grandma looked ashamed, which made my tears fall faster.
"Forgive me Grandma, I've been so stupid. I've gotten myself pregnant, their Erik's twins, I slept with my teacher Professor Blake, Erik dumped me before I could tell him I was pregnant I've only got you and Stevie-Ray to help me now. Please I need your comfort." I sobbed so hard.
"Oh Zoeybird come here." Grandma said, taking me into her arms. I just sobbed into her arms, I felt like a little girl who'd fallen over and scrapped her knee. Expect this time this wasn't my knee, it was my heart, I'd fallen and broken my heart.
"I'll help you Sweetheart. I'm help you I promise, we all make mistakes. I forgive you, I love you." Grandma said, kissing my heart softly healing my wound like she did when I was young, but it would take more than a kiss from grandma to heal my wounds this time. The Doctor came back into the room.
"Can I please go home now?" I asked, wanting for than ever to get out of this white room.
"I'm not sure." The Doctor looked nervous.
"She can come home with me; I'll look after her. When she's better, a lot better I'll take her back to school." Grandma said with a smile.
"Ok but I want you to stay with your grandma for a few weeks you and your twins need rest and care." The Doctor said with a smile.
"She'll get loads of TLC from me and her grandma." Stevie-Ray had entered the room. I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Ok Miss Redbird, if your grandma just signs the forms you can go home." The Doctor said, opening the door.
"I'll be right back Honey." Grandma said, placing a soft kiss on my check.
"I'll stay with her." Stevie-Ray said, taking my hand softly in hers. Grandma left the room leaving me and Stevie-Ray alone to talk.
"How are you?" Stevie-Ray asked with a sweet smile.
"I'm fine." I lied. I felt fine physically but mentally I felt empty, weak, broken. The twins were the only thinking keeping me alive now.
"It will be okay Z, I promise you've got me and your grandma to help you, Time is the best healer." Stevie-Ray said with a small smile.
"What about the Twins? What about them? They need a father, Erik's gone, what do I do?" I said, feeling the tears coming again.
"We'll get you through, it will be ok. Don't worry about it now. Just concentre on here and now." Stevie-Ray said with a small smile.
"Here and now I'm the pregnant broken-hearted girl, who has gone from having everything, to losing it all in one night." I said the tears were falling and I couldn't stop them.
"You've got your friends, your grandma and your twins. You have those things to keep your going." Stevie-Ray said with a small smile. "Your right, thanks honey." I said with sweet smile.
"Here to help." Stevie-Ray said, giving me a big hug.
"Ready to go?" Grandma has silently come back into the room.
"We're ready." I said with a small smile. Stevie-Ray grabbed my bag off the bed and we walked towards Grandma's car in the car park.
******"There's been something I've wanted to ask you ever since you told me you were pregnant." Stevie-Ray said as we reached the car, she placed my bag in the boot.
"What's that?" I asked confused.
"Can I be your babies' godmother?!" Stevie-ray looked really excited about the idea.
"Of course you can. I was going to ask you near the time, if you wanted to do." I said honestly.
"Yeah! I'm your babies' godmother." Stevie-Ray said, doing a little happy dance in the car park.
We climbed into the car, Grandma was in the front driving, Stevie-Ray and me were in the back chatting away. Catching up on all the stuff we had missed out on since she'd died and then been brought back to life.
"You girls fancy something to eat?" Grandma asked
"Yes please Grandma. I'm starving, I'm guessing the twins are too." I said, placing my hand softly on my stomach.
"Stevie-Ray honey do you want some food?" Grandma asked
"Yes please." Stevie-Ray said. We stopped off at McDonalds. We sat in a booth, I was starving. I ate my own food and started picking at Grandma's and Stevie-Ray's. I looked like a right pig.
"Zoey, don't eat like that in public, it's disgusting." My ears started to burn at the sound of Mum's voice.
"What are you doing here?" I spat. I hated her, I hated her so much.
"We were just passing through." Mum said. Then I felt my stomach turn over on itself at the sight of her husband, John.
"We're leaving." I said to grandma and Stevie-Ray, I didn't want him around me while I was pregnant.
"Don't leave on our account." John said, grabbing my wrist.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME. I'M PREGNANT SO DON'T YOU DARE LAY ONE FINGER ON ME." I shouted
"Y-Your Pregnant?" Mum looked shocked.
"YES I AM. AND IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS." I Shouted. I felt so angry, I tried to calm down for the twins sake. I'd been in hospital once this week I didn't have any plans to go back.
"YOU STUPID GIRL. THIS IS YOUR FAULT." Mum shouted at my grandma.
"Leave her alone you stupid cow. If this anyone's fault it yours, stay out of our lives. I hate you so much." I said before I walked towards the door.
"YOU ARE NO LONGER MY DAUGHTER." Mum shouted.
"NEW FLASH: I'VE NEVER BEEN YOUR DAUGHTER. I'VE NOT BEEN YOUR DAUGHTER SINCE YOU MARRIED THE MONSTER STANDING NEXT TO YOU." I shouted before I walked towards the car. I climbed inside slamming the door and I stared to sob. Grandma and Stevie-Ray climbed into the car, Grandma started to drive and Stevie-Ray took me into her arms.
"Honey, calm down. For the Twins sake. She's just a stupid cow you don't need her you've got us, don't cry." Stevie-Ray kissed the top of my head.
"Thank you." I said, lying my head on her knee. I was so tired, my eyes started to close as sleep took over me.
