Chapter 7: Broken Hearts and Broken Dreams
With Will:
Will sat on her bed side, glaring at the little frog clock on her bedside.
She was waiting for her mother to return from Dean's house. Will couldn't believe that they had gotten married. And she had missed it.
She rubbed her bulging belly, trying to keep her mind focused. Her mind began to drift off to the past . . .
"Will, you okay?" Matt asked through the door.
There was a squeal of joy, and Will burst through the door.
"It's positive, Matt! I'm pregnant!" Will screamed.
"P-pregnant?" Matt repeated. Will nodded.
He put a hand to his head in disbelief. "A baby. I'm going to be a dad. Wow."
He walked towards the window. "This is great, Will. I mean, we should tell everyone this!"
"But Matt, I thought—"
"This could get my ratings up! It'll be headline news!" Matt continued.
Will didn't talk. She just let him rant all day about this.
And didn't show up when Matt announced Will was pregnant.
Will shook her head. That moment, and others before that showed where their marriage would have ended.
She had been such a fool.
With Irma:
"This is where you'll be sleeping," Tom said, opening the door to a bedroom.
A bedroom that looked very familiar.
Tom noticed the bewilderment in Irma's face. "This was your room, before you moved out. Anna and I thought that since you don't live here anymore, we could make some use to it by turning it into a guest room."
Irma just nodded and stepped in.
Memories flooded back to her mind.
The times she sat in her room, listening to CDs and talking to friends on the phone.
She sighed and hugged her dad. "Thanks Dad. This really helps."
With Taranee:
Taranee was lying on the bed in her former bedroom.
Thankfully, her parents hadn't gotten rid of any stuff she had left behind.
She held the camera she had used when she was thirteen.
Tears crawled down her cheeks as images from the past repeated itself.
How Nigel and her would get in front of the camera and make funny faces.
Taranee smiled weakly at the memories.
With Cornelia:
After the news of Caleb's death, Cornelia had to make a trip home and move all her stuff to an apartment.
A room was open for rent a floor below of Cornelia's family.
Not to bad. And surprisingly convenient.
It helped, by still, her heart was torn in half.
Her husband was dead.
Just that morning they kissed and said good bye until tomorrow.
But they wouldn't meet tomorrow.
Nor would they meet again.
It was over.
With Hay Lin:
Hay Lin set the last dish into the washer and turned it on.
Her father called for her to take an order to table seven.
Quickly, she grabbed the dish and rushed to the table waiting.
With Cassidy:
"Hmm," Emily said thoughtfully.
Rebecca put a reassuring hand on Cassidy's shoulder.
The former water guardian however, kept her head down.
"So you're pregnant with that boy's child?" Emily repeated. She sighed and shook her head. "Cassidy, this could ruin your life forever. You know you will need to find a husband before it's born or you're going to be a single mom."
"You were a single mom," Cassidy reasoned.
"True," Emily stated. "But that still doesn't excuse your actions."
"I know," Cassidy murmured. "I know."
A/N: Well, this was a short and dull chapter. Sorry I didn't update sooner. I was at summer camp.
Special thanks to XV-Dragon. Thanks for telling me about the one-shot thing. I really needed that.
