Chapter 9: Megan's suffering.

I painfully opened my eyes to a bright room, I tried to get up but my whole body is in horrible pain.

"Carefully." Paul said running towards me.

"Don't get up, you must be in so much pain." He said.

"I've lost my baby... Right." I asked him knowing the answer.

"You have been shot two times, one in the stomach and one in your chest." He said and pulled me in a hug.

I don't know why I'm unable to cry?

Is it because I knew that moment when that gun was pointing towards me, that either I'll be dead or will lose my child.

"I'm sorry, I must have come sooner, as soon as I got your text I came as soon as possible yet I made it so late.

"It's not your fault, how is Megan." I asked him.

"She's fine but..." He hesitated.

"But, what happened." I asked him.

"The gunman is caught and confessed who hired him." He said.

"Who...hired him?" I asked him.

"It was... I'll tell you later for now take a rest." He said.

"Tell me now." I said.

"It's Amy." He said looking at me.

It's Amy. I think I heard it wrong. It can't be the truth, right? Right?

"What." I said in a low voice.

"Yes, she is the one." He said with a hint of hate.

"Why." I asked him and me in my heart.

"Megan also claimed that Josh also has been killed by her." He said.

"Did she confess?" I asked him.

"She didn't confess to any of it, but police found proof regarding the gunman issue, and she's in prison right now." He said.

"Then... What about Josh." I asked him.

"They are investigating it right now." He said.

"Do you believe she can..." I asked him without completing my sentence.

"I don't know." He said.

It's been two weeks now, I've been discharged from the hospital, Amy's still in jail, the case is reopened and Paul is handling it.

Paul informed Andrew about our baby.
He said he just thanked him and told him to take good care of me.
He must have been so hurt by the news.

I'm laying on my couch watching something but I'm more like just staring at it.  I don't even if it is a movie or show or whatever I'm not that interested in.

When Josh died I didn't cry a single tear, but I felt like there was a hole in my heart, there was this pain in my chest and heart that used to increase at night for almost twenty days.

Now that I've lost my child I'm still not able to cry, why? is it because I'm tired of crying, sadness, and basically life.

As I was about to fall asleep, I heard my doorbell.

I opened my door and saw Megan standing there.

"What an unexpected guest." I said with a little sarcasm.

"Um... Can I come in?" She said.

"Yeah, sure." I said giving her way.

"Are you fine?" She said sitting down.
