Promises Were Meant To Be Broken

Chapter 14

I woke up lying on my bed

My head started pounding

“Goodmorning Becky”

I jumped and saw that it’s Ari sitting on the chair near my bed

She gave me some pills and sat on my bed next to me

“Thanks”

Silence filled the room

But Ari finally spoke

“…..why? Why would you do that?”

I looked down in shame

But I didn’t regret it

“Because of Austin….”

She let out a sigh

“Becky, he really loves you. You have no idea how much he loves you.”

“How do you expect me to believe that crap when he keeps hurting me?”

She was silent

“…love hurts..” she whispered

I saw a tear come out of her eye. Then I remembered what happened to her when she was in the UK.

Her boyfriend abused her.

And she really loved him

“I’m sorry Ari”

I gave her a hug

“It’s ok. But please talk to Austin”

“No. He should spend time with Taylor and his baby”

“Becky, that isn’t his baby”

I laughed

“Oh, so he got you to believe him?”

“Ughh no!”

“Ari, they fucked. They had a baby. There’s no chance for us anymore” I told in a hurtful tone

She must’ve noticed the hurt in my voice

“Becky, that baby isn’t Austin’s. The nurse made a mistake and mixed up Patrick & Austin’s DNA tests. You have to believe me. All of us were there except you.”

I rolled my eyes

“Any proof?”

She stood up and pulled me up with her

“We’re going to the hospital to get your proof”

“Whatever”

I quickly changed and walked downstairs with Ari

We got in my car and I started driving

I saw Ari texting someone but I ignored it

After a few minutes, we arrived

“Ok. Now what?”

We got down and pulled me to the front counter

“Hello, Im Ariana. Me and a couple of my friends came here a yesterday because a out friend was giving birth”

She looked confused then remembered

“Oh yes! How may I help you?”

“You’re the nurse that got the DNA mixed up, right?”

The nurse looked ashamed

“Yes I am. And I’m really sorry about that”

“But where’s the proof that this baby isn’t his?” I asked

I was shocked

“Well Im not suppose to be doing this but..”

The nurse motioned us to the back of the counter

She went to the back and got out some files

“Here is the DNA tests of Mr. Mahone and Mr. Wilson.”

I opened it

“The test results for Mr.s Wilson came out positive. He is the father. Not Mr. Mahone.”

My mouth hung open

“So-“

“So that baby girl is Patrick’s baby. Not Austin’s” Ari completed the sentence for me

“Thank you” I thanked

I gave the file back to the nurse and we walked out

Once we were in the car, Ari decided to drive

There was a moment of silence

“Im so stupid” I told

I buried my face in my hands

“No you’re not Becky. After all you’ve been through and all that Austin’s done to you, I can’t blame you”

She smiled at me 

We arrived at my house and Ari got another text

She smiled at the text

I walked inside and towards my room

But once I opened my door, I saw something on my bed

A note.

To: Becky

I was confused

I opened it and it read..

Dear Becky…………….
