Tragic Smile

I Will Show You Mine

"What? What are you talking about?" Jack got down on to the grass in front of me and wiped tears that were all down my cheeks.

I sobbed a little more, "when I got stabbed, I lost a baby. My baby."

He studied me for a few seconds before pulling me in to his chest. "It's okay. It's all okay, I'm here now." He whispered in my ear.

He was going to run a mile when I tell him that I would never be able to be the mother of his children. I don't blame him. I carry so much baggage that I don't even think his strong hands could handle it.

"They've told me I can't have kids. Whatever happened when the knife went in it's now impossible for me to conceive." I wiped my eyes before looking at Jack.

He looked quite taken aback by my words, almost like he didn't know what to say. "It's okay. We'll get through it. Can we just get back to the caravan because you're so cold." He stood up and lifted me up in to his arms.

He pulled off his black puffy jacket and helped me put it on. "Do you not want me anymore?" I whispered as we walked through the woods that I didn't even know I was in.

"Of course I still want to be with you. These things happen, Olivia. I'm not going anywhere." He promised as he lead us back towards the lights.

"I don't know how I got here." I looked around, it was just trees for days all around us.

"I didn't see you run out but apparently you left at some speed." He chuckled.

Oh my goodness. Jack and Brad were in a fight. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Is Brad okay? Where is Beth?" All the panic came back all at once.

"Sh shhh, it's okay." He said calmly, obviously picking up on my nerves. "We're all okay. Brad and Beth are back at the caravan waiting for us to come back. Everyone is all okay." He promised.

I wonder what happened with the fight? Was it split up? Is Brad and Beth still arguing? Was Jack and Beth still not getting on? What was I about to walk back in to?

We reached the caravan and I was so thankful. I just wanted to get my clothes off and get in to a nice hot showe- no shower. Fantastic.

"Olivia!" Beth jumped off the kitchen counter and in to my arms as we walked back in. "Where have you been?" She held me close to her.

"I- uh I don't really know." I looked at Jack for help. Did he even know where I was?

"I'm so glad you're safe and you're back with us." She instantly warmed my cold body up with her wrapped around me.

"I'm glad you're okay, Olivia." Brad smiled as he sat down on the sofa.

"Let's go get you cleaned up." Beth took my hand and pulled me towards the bedroom. I glanced at Jack and he smiled at me before she slammed the door shut. "Have you been crying?" She asked.

"I just had a panic when the fight broke out. I'm okay." I half lied and half told the truth.

"I know, I really wasn't expecting that to happen. I just want to forget about it. Me and Brad are going to try and talk things through tomorrow with fresh heads." She smiled.

She rushed over to her suitcase and got some cotton pads and make up remover from her bag before coming back to me. I sat down at the edge of my bed and she started to gently wipe the rest of todays worries away.

I had already taken my make up off but I wasn't going to say no to getting my face cleaned fresh.

"I have to shower." I muttered to myself. I felt so dirty now that I realise that I was sitting down on the floor in the woods.
