The Boy Next Door

chapter 11

- 2 weeks gone by, val didn't get my abortion yet bc the egg has to fully develop whatever -

I wake up and throw on a crop top and Nike sweats and my crocs. I was eating breaking and my mom was asking about Eli. I had to lie and say him and I were doing good. "That's great honey, Friday his mom invited us to go eat next door!". My mother said so happily. "Great". I finished eating breakfast and my parents left to Idaho for a business trip. I was by myself so that was good. I grabbed my keys and left. Or tried too. My tires were not pumped with air so i had to walk to school. Great. I see a familiar car pull up next to me. It was Hawk. "Get in Val, it's a long walk and too tiring" he said. I told him ok and went into the back seat. "Val I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you" Hawk said. I ignored him the whole way to school.
- time skips to lunch -
Me and Demetri were sitting alone like usual. I was pale and gonna pass out and Demetri gave me his water bottle to drink. "Hey what's wrong?" Demetri said looking worried. I started crying and he was comforting me. Eventually, I told him everything and how stressed I was. "Wow. I'm so sorry Val, if you ever need someone to talk to I'm always gonna be here". Demetri said then gave me a hug. I told him thank you so much. "Hey let's go to golf n suff tonight" he says out of no where. "Sure. I would love that".
The rest of the school day was pretty boring, I was feeling nauseous and tired, but I pulled it through. Classes were pretty easy and I didn't have that much homework. When school ended Demetri drove me home and I did my homework and got ready. I put on a nice tank top, nice jeans and my af1s. He picked me up around 5 and it was so much fun. Sam came along. She was really nice and I told her what happened with Hawk and I. "Wow Val, I'm so sorry. I'm always gonna be here no matter what". She gave me a hug and I liked that. I never really had girls that are friends because I always had trouble with friends. All 3 of us were hanging out until Cobra Kai came. It became a fight. I tried to avoid it because I'm cool with Miyagi-Do and I am a Cobra Kai. Out of no where Mitch kicks me in the stomach and I fell down. "That's for being a traitor" Mitch says. Then he kicked me again in the stomach. "I- I-" I passed out. I woke up seeing Hawk on top of Demetri breaking his arm. I got up and helped Demetri. I passed out again and Demetri was worried. Hawk was laughing at me for what Mitch did to me. "HAWK WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH AT VAL?! SHES LITERALLY CARRYING YOUR CHILD" Demetri said out of anger. As soon as he said that, I passed out.

When I woke up the next day I was in a hospital bed with Sam and her mom next to me. "Where.. where am I?" I asked. "You're in the hospital..." Sam says. "Mom can you leave? We need to talk privately". Her mom leaves the room and Sam and I talk. I could barley speak because I was so tired and exhausted. "Val, I'm so sorry. You had a miscarriage due to Mitch's kick". I was crying but I knew I has second feelings about not keeping it. I was sobbing. "Where's Demetri?" I say wiping my tears. "He's in the other room. Hawk broke his arm". Sam said to me. "Omg." I started crying even more. "My head hurts so much Sam". "I know, the nurse said you'll be drowsy and tired and your head will be hurting. You're staying the night. Tomorrow in the afternoon I'm gonna take you back to your house, okay?" Sam said. "Okay, thank you". She left and I was still crying. I went to sleep hoping my headache will go away in the morning.
The next day I woke up to the smell of fresh roses and dandelions, my favorite flowers. "Hello? Who's there?" I was low key scared but I'm in a hospital so I was safe. Hawk came in the room with bloodshot eyes. "Hawk-" he cut me off and he started sobbing. "I'm so sorry Val, I didn't know you were pregnant. Demetri told me everything. How you felt and everything. I'm so sorry you lost our baby. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me". "Hawk. I don't know what to say. I missed you that's for sure". He was still crying and so was I. "How did you know roses and dandelions were my favorite flower?" I said because I never told him. "I asked your mom on the phone". He said. "Oh shit. I forgot my parents. Do they know?" I asked him. "Yeah they know, their coming into town on Thursday" Hawk told me. Hawk grabbed my hand and was crying and begging for forgiveness. I had the energy to sorta get up and kiss his forehead. "I forgive you. Everyone makes mistakes but this is the biggest mistake you've ever done". He cut me off and he kissed my nose. "I got you something" Hawk said. He pulled out a sweatshirt, chocolate, more flowers, and a necklace that said my name. "Hawk, I can't take this". I told him. "Yes you can and you will" he told me. I missed him so much but he hurt me 10x worse. We were both crying until Sam and her mom came to get me. He rushed out of the room quickly. "What was that about?" Sam said. "He gave me all of this, he was apologizing and sobbing" I told her. "Omg Val, are you okay?". "Yeah I am, I'll be okay".
She took me home and took me to bed. I heard a knock on my door and I answered it. "JAROLD?!"
