Chapter Twenty Five: Cry Baby

((Just a heads up, this chapter does have a few very intense scenes. This is also partially inspired by Melaine Martinez's song "Cry Baby" ))

Hayleigh's POV-

"Baby girl, it's me. Savannah...I'm your momma."

As soon as those words left her mouth, I felt my heart immediately stop.

"Hayleigh?" Darby reached out to grab my arm.

"Darby," I heard Dad's voice as he came around the corner, but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Savannah. "Shit..."

My heart began pounding and I started to get tunnel vision as I became lightheaded. At that moment, my vision blurred and the next thing I knew, I felt my entire body go limp.

Darby's POV-

Looking over at Hayleigh, all the color drained out of her face as she looked at Savannah like she saw a ghost.

"Hayleigh?" I reached out to grab her arm.

"Darby," I heard Sting's voice as he came around the corner, but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Savannah. "Shit..."

Right before I even touched her, Hayleigh's eyes rolled back as she started to fall.

"Hayleigh!" I shout, quickly catching her.

"Oh for christ's sake, Hayleigh!" Savannah huffed and rolled her eyes.

Furrowing my brows, I glared over at her as I held Hayleigh up and Sting rushed over.

"Here, sit her down," Sting quickly brings a chair over.

I sit her down, making sure to hold her head up.

"Hayleigh," Cupping her face with both hands, I lightly patted her cheek, trying to wake her up. "Come on babe, wake up," I softly plead with her.

Hayleigh slowly started to stir. I still held her head up as I looked back at Sting as he began arguing with Savannah.

"How did you even get back here?!"

"It doesn't matter! Why did she react that way?!" Savannah held her arm out towards Hayleigh while her other arm crossed over her chest.

"I don't know Savannah, maybe because she wasn't ready to see you!"

"That's a bit of a dramatic way to react, don't ya think?" Savannah raised a brow.

"Well taking into account that she thought she'd never see you, I don't think so!"

"HEY!" I shout over both of them. "Can you two stop arguing for two seconds?!" I glared between both of them.

Sting sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he looked down while Savannah crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"One of you actually do something useful and give me the water bottle right there," I tell them as I nodded over towards the crate before I looked back at Hayleigh. "She's starting to wake up."

Sting grabs the water bottle and brings it over to me. Hayleigh's eyes fluttered open as she looked at me confused.

"Darby?"

"Here," I unscrewed the cap of the water bottle and held it up to her lips. "Drink this."

She took the bottle from me and started sipping on the water.

"What happened??" She asked, setting the bottle down beside her.

"You got overwhelmed and passed out," I say while gently squeezing her shoulder. "Are you feeling okay?"
