It takes only one night

Chapter 3

Annabella...

The nurse help me get dressed, yes, in the same dress I peed in. But I didn't care about that, the red spots on the dress looked like real blood, I waited as she called in Kristen in the room.

A knock on the door was heard before Kristen came in, followed by Mike. She ran into my arms while crying hard, I was out of tears. "She's tried and should rest, if the bleeding continues heavily, then you should come back so we could check you out again. You already have your medication prescription, take once every four hours. No heavy activities or s*x for six weeks, the doctor also provided you with six months of birth control pills. Take them as well, always have safe s*x so this incident will not happen again. Best of luck for you," the nurse said with a straight face which impressed me.

She left and locked the door behind her, "Are you ok? Omg, Anna, I am so sorry I couldn't be there for you," Kristen sadly said.

I looked at Mike who was staring intensely at me, "Why are you still here, leave, I don't want anything to do with you or that asshole."

"I'll leave, just hand over the paper so I can show Cèsar, then I'll be out your way."

I handed him the fake paperwork, he stared at it before opening the door. About to leave, he turned around. "Do you want me to take you home?" he asked.

"Just leave," I whispered while hugging Kristen.

He left and I never wished to see that face ever again. I pulled Kristen away from me, "You can never go back to that place ever again, you hear me. Please don't, promise me you won't."

"I promise, Anna, just breath. I'm so sorry, are you in pain?"

"No, I just want to go," I said while getting off easily. I remembered what the nurse said, act as if you are in pain so I did. Fake moaning and walking slowly when I was absolutely fine. We left the doctor's office, Mike's jeep was still here. A black tinted car was parked behind his Jeep. I knew it was that asshole waiting to see if I went through with it.

I held on to Kristen as we both walked down the block. Mike's Jeep followed as the black car passed us. Stopping at the stop sign, the window rolled down, revealing Cèsar sitting in the passenger seat. He looked at me once before he rolled the window back up as the car left.

"That'll be the last we see them Anna, don't worry. You want to go home?" She asked while I stared at the car turning around the corner.

"I want to be alone, you can go home Kristen."

"What? No! I'm not leaving you."

"Kristen, please! I just want to think about what I'm going to do. I need to be alone so I can think straight."

"Anna, there's nothing to think about. The baby is dead, you're free to live your life, let's put this in the past and move forward. Your secret is safe with me, not a soul will know you were ever pregnant."

Did I want to tell her the truth? Yes, I did, but not now. I had to figure out what I was going to do. How was I going to tell my parents? How was I going to face my school? How was my life going to be?

"I just want to be alone. Go home, Kristen. I want to think about what to do with my life. I'll call you when I get home, ok?"

She stood there rubbing her forehead, then pulled me into a tight, warm hug. "I'll always be here for you, Anna, I promise."

We walked together down the block until a coffee shop appeared. Going in, she ordered two cups of warm hot chocolate. After an hour of sitting there in silence, I asked her to leave so I could be by myself. She did and left, not before hugging me one last time.

I watched her haul a cab and enter it. She waved bye while I sat there waving back at her.

What was I going to do now? Should I go home and tell my parents? They'll find out sooner or later, but I didn't want to tell them now. Looking into my purse, there was enough money for a bus ticket to New Jersey. Running away wasn't the best idea, but I had to go see the one person I could trust to help me in this situation, and that person was my grandma.

I got up and left to haul a cab to take me to the bus terminal. Reaching my destination, I got out and bought my ticket quickly. The next bus was leaving around six p.m. I had plenty of time, so, I decided to go back home and pack a few things. I only needed the money and a couple of my personal item's. Dad and mom were probably at Kyle's grave crying their hearts out.

Reaching the house, as I predicted, mom, and dad weren't there.

I ran up to my room and locked the door behind me. I sat down and started to write a letter to my parents.

Dear mom & dad,

I know it's been a tough year on you two, I'm sorry for doing this but I need some space. You guys can grieve the way you want too, but I have my own way. I'm in deep s**t, I want to let you know that I'm ok, and that I'll be over at Gram’s house. I want to get away and breathe freely from all this suffocation of hurt. I'll be back when I know the time is right, I'll call you in the morning. I'm fine, I am but I just need to get away from here. I love you both and I'm sorry for everything, next time you guys visit Kyle, kiss him for me and tell him I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not saying goodbye, I'm sorry for always teasing him that I'm sorry that it was him who had to suffer and not me. Please don't come and get me, I want to come back on my own. Just know I'm safe, and that I love you guys forever and always.

Love~ Annabella..

I wiped away the tears and got up to pack a couple of thing's. Lifting my bed up, I pulled out the rest of the money and shoved it in my bag. A couple of shirts and jeans, phone, and laptop. Throwing the backpack around my shoulder, I ran back down. I forgot to change but f**k it. I wasn't going back.

Annabella...

Current time...

"And here I am. That's what happened to me. I know, I'm naïve and stupid. But I couldn't go through with it, Nana, I couldn't. I don't know what I'll do, or how I'll tell mom and dad. all I know is that you are my only hope. Mom and dad probably have read the note by now, and I know they'll give me my time to grieve as well, but they don't know that I'm pregnant. No one knows but you, Nana, what will I do?"

She let out a deep breath and held me tight. "First, you'll get some rest. When your parents call, we'll tell them that you're going to stay with me. After we make an appointment with an OB GYN to check you and the baby, we'll call your parents over to come for a family meeting and tell them that you're expecting a baby. For now, let's go get some rest," Nana said while kissing my forehead.

I got up and went into dad's old room. Even though Nana wasn't my real grandma, she was the best.

As a teenager, Dad lived on the streets, he had no money or place to live in, so grandpa and grandma took him in and raised him as their own. They never adopted him cause they couldn't, but he lived with them and called them his parents no matter what people said. You don't need anything to legalized your love for a person.

"Get some rest, sweetheart. We'll talk some more in the morning."

After a long day, my eyes felt heavy and sleep came over me quickly.
