Rowan's POV
I cried so hard I couldn't breath. The beach was keeping me from fully falling apart. It was about 4:30 and I had a dozen missed calls on my phone. Some from Kendall, my parents, my brother and Sabrina. I unlocked my phone and I blocked Kendall's number. It was hard to do with all the incoming messages from him. I didn't really care at this point. My body still aches and I was pregnant. Other people are the last thing on my mind. I didn't want to risk things with the baby so I took the bus to the ER so I could get looked at. It's different when he hurts me and I'm pain but I'm carrying a child. I knew how badly my body was beaten up right now, it could't be very safe. I waited for a little while and I sat there I texted my family and told them I was on a field trip to the zoo. My dad knows I tell him the truth so he knows he doesn't have to look into things. I knew one of my teachers had a field trip planned for this week so he had to know. I texted Sabrina and told her to tell my dad the same story. She asked why and tried calling but I didn't tell her the truth. The more I lied the worst I felt but there wasn't anything else to do in this crappy situation Kendall put me in.
The nurse called me back and sat down while she took my blood pressure. "What brought you in today?" She asked me.
"I'm pregnant, I took a pregnancy test today and found out. I got into an accident recently and I didn't feel the need to get checked out." I lied.
She nodded her head and she took blood then laid me back for an ultra sound. It was all faster than I expected it to be. She gave me a number of a close by OBGYN, I hardly even knew what that was. I walked outside when I was finished. I was fine physically. It was surprising but I guess where I was beaten it didn't effect anything. It was night already. I called an uber, I had no money but I needed to get out of here. No energy to walk. I had my parent's credit card number for emergencies. Being pregnant by rape has to qualify. I got into the uber and I sighed. My life is going downhill. It's all because of Kendall.
I got home and I walked inside. "I'm home." I see my family waiting.
"Where were you?" My dad asked me standing up.
"Sorry. The trip ran late." I said keeping up with the lie.
"This late? Maybe I should call your teacher down tomorrow." My dad suggest.
"No dad. We went for pizza after." I convinced him.
"Honey, Are you okay? You've been keeping to yourself a lot lately." My mom asked as she walked into the room, feeling my head.
"I'm fine. Just getting a lot of school work." I lied crossing my arms.
"Are you sure?" My dad says.
I nodded and headed to my room.
"I know there wasn't a school trip." Jamie says looking at me from outside his room.
I swallowed. "You're gonna tel-"
"Relax. I'm not telling anyone." He looked me up and down.
"Thanks." I felt relieved.
Jamie's face filled with concern. "Is he still treating you badly?" He asked.
"What? No, I wasn't even with him today." I lied to his face.
"I know you were at his house. I stopped by." Jamie said and my eye widen.
"I stopped by to drop something off." I tried to talk my way out of this.
He shook his head. "I don't believe you. I think he's hurting you." Jamie looked at my arms.
"I'm fine. We just fight a lot. It's not like that." I looked at him with a cold stare.
"You need to grow up and stop running back to him every time he dumps you." He said sighing.
"You don't know a single fucking thing about my relationship so back off." I said angrily before slamming my door. I walked into my room and started the shower.
I took off my shirt and my pants and walked in front of my mirror I stared at my battered body. I looked at my stomach and there it was a small bump. It was small enough to look like it was just bloating but I knew it wasn't. I put my hands on it and a few tears fell from my face.
Sabrina's POV
Josh and I went over to my house when we got the new Rowan was okay. I wanted to wait for her and grill her but Josh and Jamie thought it would be best not to all confront her at once. I agree knowing her she wouldn't take that as us showing care and concern she would think we were all ganging up on her. I was sad but Josh made me feel better. We had dinner with Shawn and it was nice to bond with my two favorite guys.
"How's school?" Shawn asked us as he was cutting his veggies.
"It's going great. Lately I've been getting better grades." I smiled and started eating my dinner.
Shawn smiled. "I'm glad, I think Josh has been such a good influence to you."
"I don't think I'm the one to credit for all the change in her. I think you have to do with most of it." Josh admitted looking at us.
"I think both of you guys have been pretty supportive of me." I credited both of them. "But Shawn you did a lot for me and I'm really thankful to have you. It's so nice coming home and not having to worry about someone. I can actually have a life now." I smiled.
"It's an honor to be that person for you." Shawn said proudly.
"Thank you for giving me the normal I've craved my whole life for." I hugged him tightly.
"No problem. I'd do anything for you kid." He rubbed my back.
Josh smiled. "Ditto." We turned around and laughed.
It's been really nice coming home to dinner or having my lunches made. It's nice going to sleep and knowing someone is home with me or waking up and smelling bacon. What Shawn has done for me is given me means the world. It's so good being this happy.
Rowan's POV
I woke up the next morning crying and shaking. I had another bad dream it was all the same stuff. I wonder if it's going to be like this forever. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I just don't want to deal with it anymore. I feel so alone and scared. I felt sick, I ran to the bathroom. I had almost forgotten that I was pregnant for a second. I washed my face and looked at the clock. I had to go to school today. I really didn't want to but I skipped yesterday. Everything in my life was falling apart including my school work. There isn't anything I can do. I'm losing control over my life. I hoped that Kendall would be absent. It's possible considering he might know that I know what he did to me. I don't want him to know that I know but he probably does. Maybe he didn't even care. He knows I won't tell anyone. I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed.
I got to school after ignoring my family. No one really tried to talk to me. Jamie wouldn't even look at me after the way I screamed at him. I don't know why he think Kendall beats me. I hid that so well. He might know something's up but has no idea what is going on with me but he acts like he's been there. No one could possibly understand. I got out of the car and walked inside. I crossed my arms tightly. It felt weird being pregnant or more like knowing that I was pregnant. I felt like people could look at me and just tell.
"Row!" Sabrina hugged me.
I jumped slightly. "Hi." I said turning to my locker.
"How are you?" She asked me with concern.
I grabbed my stuff and slammed my locker. "I'm fine." I was getting sick of saying that.
"What was up with yesterday? You wanted to hang with Kendall?" Sabrina asked knowing nothing even close to the truth.
I started walking. "Kendall and I are over." I said with no emotion.
Her eyes widened. "What? Are you okay?" She asked following me. "What happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it." I shut it down.
"Come on Row, Just tell me." She begged for answers.
"Leave me alone!" I yelled.
