Falling For My Exchange Brother | BOOK 1,2,3

34. Archie + Wren

I stared up the wall, looking at the images of Arthur and me. Showed the both us together in what I assumed were the happiest moments.

It all broke me because he's been gone for a couple of weeks. I don't know what I expected.

I guess deep down I hoped he'd come back. I gave him my wedding ring and broke up with him. We are still...technically married, but I haven't filed for divorce. Neither has he...

The twins aren't here either, so I assume he picked them up. I don't know where they could be...and if I think about it for too long it hurts my heart more.

Being alone, to think about everything feels nice, but it hurts. This time it wasn't him that left me, I left him. I can't be mad at him or anything because I am the one that broke up with him.

Even though there is that hope.

I haven't allowed anyone around me for all of this time. Completely avoided speaking with anyone or going out into the real world. I've kept myself hidden because I know I'll crumble.

Telling others...is the harder part, because it'll be told eventually. I don't want it to be admitted. I want it to be a forever long secret that no one ever knows about.

But I can't expect that much from him. Who do I think I am to expect such a thing from him? He doesn't have to keep it a secret no matter how I wished he did.

He isn't here anymore...because I made him leave. There's nothing that I can do...there is something I could do, but I don't want to. I like things the way they are.

I can't hurt him anymore.

My hands rest on my stomach, looking down at the bump. It wasn't huge, but it wasn't small either. Now I felt my body trembling. I didn't know what the issue was, but it was scary.

Of course...I am feeling this pain.

Clenching my stomach, I rush towards my phone. I couldn't help myself...when I found myself calling who I did. It scared me because I wish I wasn't in this predicament.

Why...?

This is so circumstantial considering everything. I am such a loser for doing this...

"Arthur..." I whimper, my hand grabbing ahold of the counter tightly. It was beginning to become painful standing here and I felt like the babies were trying to rip out of my body.

"William what's wrong?" I hear him ask me hurriedly, and I had to slump down at his point. I sat on the ground and clutched my stomach. "William we need to talk about-."

"S-stop... The babies are..." I wince as I felt the painful feeling again.

"The babies! I'm coming right now!" Arthur cries and I could hear him moving around frantically.

I felt horrible, my lips trembling as I rushed towards the bag. I had to set it aside for when I would go to the hospital...but I didn't know it'd be this soon...

Of course it is.

"William can you at least make it downstairs?" He asks me nervously, and I could hear him getting in the car.

"I don't think so. I'd just be dragging myself down the stairs."

"Okay, don't move from your spot. I will be there soon enough. Believe in me." Arthur murmurs as I heard the car.

My eyes diverted onto the bed, and I pull myself towards it. It hurt me...just doing so. I couldn't even go on the bed and just leaned against it. Trying not to lose pass out from the pain, I inhale sharply.
