Dark Passion - Nathan Sykes Love Story

Chapter 16 - She's lying

A week had passed and it was the day for my very first ultrasound. I was a little nervous, and I have no idea why. Charlotte called me 2 days earlier and apologized. She was really hesitating about something, and that was very evident in her way of talking. I wonder what she's hiding from me now. It's probably that she is in love with Nathan and that they have a secret relationship behind my back. I would go mental if that was true. I still did love Nathan, I just didn't want to be with him.

He was supposed to meet me for my ultrasound, but we haven't spoken since that day. It was for the best I suppose. We both just end up crying when we saw each other.

I hoped that he hadn't forgotten about my ultra scan, because I did tell him about it.

Just then, my phone started ringing. And the caller ID revealed it to be Nathan.

'Hello", I answered.

"Hey!" He said slowly. He sounded sad and low.

"You alright?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine! Erm.. I'll see you at 9 right?" He asked.

"Yes." I replied

"Alright! I'll see you then." He said as he hung up. I was a little worried at his tone of speech. He seemed so depressed. I wanted to ask him when we were going to meet up.

I started getting ready, as there was no much time. It would take me a while to get to the hospital from where I lived.

As I was rushing around, getting things together, I heard the door bell ring. Nobody visits me really, so I had no idea who it was. I ran to the door, to not keep the person waiting.

It was shocking to see my mother at the doorstep. She kept on a very guilty look on her face.

"Mum" I let out.

"Eve! I've been trying to find you for soo long. Sweetie, I didn't mean a word I said that night. I was enticed and controlled by someone else. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you." She said.

"Mum I don't have time for this. I have to go." I replied as I gathered all my stuff.

She stared at my belly for a little while before talking again.

"Are you pregnant?" She asked with a disgusted face.

"What? Erm.. No! No! Ofcourse not! uhm.. I got a little too depressed after breaking up with Nathan and had a little too much to eat." I lied in a convincing way. In no way, did I want her to know that I was pregnant. She would just want to kill me more knowing that I'm so young and preggo. Not that she cared.

I locked the door to my house and walked past my mother. I didn't want to talk to her more anyway. She was still staring at my belly. It wasn't that big for her to think I'm pregnant! But yes, it did show.

Through the car ride, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how my mother found me. It was quite strange. Nobody new. Not even Nathan.

I pulled over and realized that I was 5 minutes late. Poor Nathan must have just been waiting for me while I was too busy talking to my mother.

I walked faster, and saw Nathan standing by the entrance. He was doing something on his phone. I walked over to him and greeted him. He had a weak smile on his face and we both walked inside. Nathan did look very sad. It was terrible for me to see him like this.

"Nathan are you alright?" I asked genuinely.

"Yes I'm fine." He looked to the ground.

We took our seats at the waiting area.

"You don't seem that fine Nath. Tell me!" I insisted.

"Honestly, every thing's alright." He said, still not lifting his eyes from the ground

"Am I hurting you?" I asked softly. This time he raised his head and looked into my eyes. I could see deep sadness written all over them.

"No, Eve. You're the best thing in my life. I just messed everything up." He said as he shifted his eyes to the ground again. Just then, the lady called out my name. I got up and put Nathan's hand in mine. He smiled at that, which I'm happy about. We walked together into the doctor's room and immediately I got a little tense. I think I squeezed Nathan's hand a bit because he gave me a weird expression. I was nervous for no apparent reason.

The midwife asked me lay down on the bed. Nathan stood close beside me.

"Is this your husband?" She asked.

"No." We both said in unison.

"Oh, it's nice how you're still sticking up for her." She smiled at Nathan. He looked at me and I couldn't help but feel terrible about myself. I loved Nathan with all my heart, and I was still hurting him so much. It was obvious that he hasn't been himself recently because of my cruelty. But I still wasn't ready! I couldn't get myself to forgive him completely.

The midwife lifted my shirt slowly to apply the cold jelly. Nathan took my hand in his and gently squeezed it. Soon the monitor showed a tiny little person on it. My eyes filled with tears knowing that I had a little baby growing inside of. I know I was young, and I still had my studies to pursue, but at that moment all I could think of was having a little me.

I looked up at Nathan and he seemed so happy as well. He gave me a little smile and looked back at the monitor. The midwife gave me a little picture of it and told me that everything is looking fine. She said that the baby looks healthy but there was still a long way to go. I thanked her for everything and then walked out with Nathan.

"Thank you for letting me come!" Nathan said.

"You have every right to come Nathan."

"But.. I was a terrible boyfriend to you.. I don't deserve so much." He said as he started walking away. He was so broken. It was evident in his face, evident in his voice, evident in his everything. He deserved so much more than what I was giving him.

I ran slowly to catch up with his pace. "Nathan!" I called and he turned around.

"You're wrong!" I panted.

"What?" He asked confused.

"You deserve a lot better than me Nathan. I've completely changed you as a person, and I feel terrible. I'm so sorry, but you will find someone who will treat you like you deserve." I said. He shook his head and started walking away.

I didn't know how to stop him. I wanted him back so bad. But he would never return to someone who had hurt him so gravely. That was for sure.

It hopefully gets better in the next one. Thank you all for baring with this crap. Tell me what you thought through comments through
