Chapter 41|Family Before Anything

"Jake, I was right." I say softly.

Jakes brows draw together, he takes my hand in his softly and I can see him preparing to shut me down gently. "Nova, you've been thorough a lot and you've had no one to talk to. You're going to go...crazy." He gives me a pity look.

I sigh trying to mask the hurt. I get he's just seeing it from his point. Who wouldn't think I was crazy. "No Jake. Grayson is alive, I've seen him with my own eyes." I stress.

"Then where is he nova?" Jake frowns.

I scoff. "He's out getting back his friend."

Jake looks around the huge place, it's quietness awkward and chilling. "Nova, you know I love you but Grayson is gone.  You buried him." He emphasises 'buried' trying to drill it into my head.

I stand up feeling judged and patronised by him. "Don't you think I know that. Just wait for him to get here, you'll see!"

"Nova I'm not gonna wait here for nothing. You'll just get upset." Jake comes towards me but I stand back. He can't seriously look at me and think I'm making this all up.

"Jake. Just stop looking at me like I'm some damaged knocked up girl and look at me like I'm your sister!" I rub my hand on my stomach, feeling my body heat up in anger.

"I am looking at you like my sister, Nova! Which is why I'm doing this for you, he's gone get that into your head." He sighs.

"God, I never should of told you." I groan. I grab the nearest surface, feeling pain wash over me.

"Yeah well I'm glad you did, now you can get some help." Jake turns his back to me, running his hands through his hair. I open my mouth to talk back but hunch further over my self in pain. "I'm trying to be gentle here Nova, but you gotta listen you yourself."

I nearly fall to my knees in pain, my anger washing away as my mind focuses on the intense wave of pain washing over me. "Look-
Jake stops his sentence finally noticing my pain.

"Shit Nova. Are you okay?" He rushes over to my side his arm coming over my shoulders. I lean into him letting our quiet cry's of pain.

"Jake, help me. Something wrong." I cry, just wanting to curl in on myself.

"What do you want me to do? Should I call someone? Do you have someone I call for this?" He stresses looking over me in worry.

"Get me to a hospital." I mutter. Jake helps me up and gets me into the car. It took longer than he would I liked with me stopping every few steps to groan in pain.

"You're okay. It's fine." He mutters as he buckled me in and closes the door. I watch him run to his side and quickly get in slamming the door behind him. I tip my head back, closing my eyes as I try to regain control of my breathing.

"You need to call him." I manage to breath out to Jake. I see him glance at me from the corner of his eyes, quickly turning towards the Dora's again.

"Just focus on you, Nova."

Can I stab him?

"Jake. Do it.  Now." I groan again as I began to feel another strong wave of pain. I clutch my stomach trying not to think of the worst. This can't be happening, this baby isn't ready to come out. It's too small, something has to be wrong. What if the medication didn't work? What if-
