If I Can't Be With You (A Rydellington Love Story)

Chapter 38: Complications

Ryland POV

There was this one movie my brothers and I watched once. There was a car explosion and the guy saved the girl just in time. I feel like I'm in that movie. Except that I'm the girl. Plus, I wasn't saved in time.

Ross was screaming at me, or yelling at me, but there was a problem: I couldn't hear him, I couldn't hear anything. I'm scared as the time I fell down the stairs wearing my wizard of oz costume. It hurt.

Or this is scarier. Probably this has the top of the list.

Ross was calling someone, probably dad. I was sitting on the ground not hearing a word or a sound. I can't lose my hearing, I just can't. I mean I'm the DJ. I know that's not a huge important thing but it is to me.

It seemed like fifteen minutes later, I seen dad's vehicle pull up and he got out. He started saying something to me but I couldn't comprehend what exactly he was saying to me.

I got up and my body was sore but otherwise I was good. Except my ears. Ross and I got in the vehicle a dad drove to the hospital. It seems like we have been here a lot lately. Which honestly we have.

We arrived and we went inside to the ER and right away I saw somebody else here: Rydel. Why is she here? I tap on Ross's shoulder and gesture towards Rydel and mom. He seems to notice what I was doing and walked over.

I would too but a doctor is just starting to give me a checkup. I mean it's obvious, I can't hear so skip the normal routine and make me hear again please! The doctor squeezes a thing in my ear and I feel a pinch of pain and suddenly there it was: noise. Sounds. There was nothing more relieving than this.

"Testing?" The doctor asks and I nod and smile.

"I can hear finally. Thank you thank you!" I yell and hug the doctor even though j barely even knew the poor guy. He probably thinks I'm a hugger now.

Dad was already going to see Rydel so I was close behind him. We walk into a area where she was, with tears in her eyes. Something was on her mind. She seemed far away from this. From this problem.

"She had a miscarriage. I'm sorry to notify you. Actually, it's a miracle she had one child. Her uterus can't handle the pregnancy cycle so she can't have any more children." Dr.Montgomery says and I feel horrible for Rydel.

I remember when we were both little. We would play house and I would be the baby (of course) with Ross. Rocky always wanted to be a police officer in the game so Riker was married to Rydel but was a criminal. I know you're probably thinking what the heck.

Anyways, I always remember Rydel saying she wanted three or four kids. Now she only had Rosie. I don't get it sometimes, Rydel is the perfect woman to be a mom. Now she can't be a mom to more than one.

I don't get what God does sometimes. I know its for the best but how? I know for sure God is looking down at Rydel. He was looking at me and gave me my hearing back. THANK YOU GOD!

Still, Rydel's mind seemed somewhere else. What's on her pretty little mind this time?

Ellington POV

Kelly's eyes landed on mine. We stared at each other for a second then the cobra stroke her prey. Kelly tumbles me to the ground and has me in a throat hold. Where the heck does she get this strength?

"Why do you have Elle? Actually how did you even know about her? Why did you even think you could've taken her without me noticing Ellington Lee?" Kelly spat and I got the chills.

"First, Rocky went and got her. I just found out about her. I didn't even think that so assume." I say and I flipped her and now I was above her and I smile. "So you have better have answers to my question Kelly."

"Please stop both of you!" Elle whines and I look at her. Kelly sits up and sighs then looks at me.

"Fine," Kelly gives in to Elle. "I became pregnant with Elle when you left me for the final time. She's really your daughter. I just thought that you would have nothing to do with her since she's from me."

I suddenly realized how Kelly must've felt this whole time. Ashamed. Scared. Confused about how I'd react. Sad. I actually feel bad for her right now. But I'm not even giving into anything besides this.

"Kelly, sure we don't get along very well. We have pretty weird history. But did you think I'd just not want Elle? I want to. I want to help what ever and how ever I can help." I reassure Kelly. I could see a smile appear on Elle's face. Rocky looked so relieved. Alexa and Rosie were smiling like they seen something on sale.

Suddenly, I see something on Kelly's hand: a ring. It didn't look like a normal ring. It looked like a wedding ring. She was married? To who?

"Ellington! WORLD TO ELLINGTON HELLO?!" Kelly knocks me back into reality. I nod and she's smiles. "Okay. You have my number. I'll text when ever I need your help or what ever." Kelly stands and goes back to the door and Elle follows as if she knew that was her cue.

This was so weird. Not just Kelly but this whole situation. I sigh and lean back on the floor. At least Rydel and I are at a good stage. Nothing bad has happened so no tension. Just love.

Suddenly, I get a text from the love of my life as if she knew I was thinking about her. "Ellington.. We had a miscarriage." I read out loud and my heart sank. Well, change my mind about that good stage.

I go into the kitchen and opened the fridge to show alcohol. I need something. Maybe just one. Or two even. It won't hurt.

Won't it?
