"Where am I?" I asked, looking around the huge golden temple. I walked around, noticing unusual paintings of children everywhere, tugging at a memory at the back of my brain that I just couldn't remember. A small beautiful blonde girl was standing in front of me. I looked at her, a deep connection running through my veins. She ran towards me and hugged me closely, squeezing me tight. "Mum. You did this. You killed me." She stood back, blood pouring down her stomach, covering her white dress. I screamed loudly and woke up from my nightmare. The nurse rushed over to calm me down. "Shh, shh, hun, you're okay, your mother is on her way." She hit the morphine button and I felt drowsy almost immediately.
"Lily!" My mum cried, running into the hospital room. "Mum." I cried, tears threatening to spill down my face. My mum squeezed my shoulder tightly. "Lily. I'm so so sorry. You deserved so much better." I put my head into my mother's shoulders, holding on to my mum until my eyes dried up and I fell into a deep but restless sleep.
Lewis came in, his face red and raw. "You told me to never speak to you again, but every time the phone rang and I hoped it was you - it's the most twisted logic of all time. And I came back, but I forgot to tell you that I loved you. That I cherished every moment I spent by your side. And I only have myself to blame. Don't think for even a second that the only reason I suck around was because of the kid. That's not true. I had dreams of us becoming a family, I was excited. And now..." He choked off, sinking into the chair next to me. "I'm so sorry." He whispered through his tears. "I'm sorry for leaving. I couldn't bear thinking that you didn't care anymore. I didn't want to think it. But this... well, I don't think anyone could have known." I cried loudly, sinking into his shoulder. "I'm sorry. I can't love you, Lewis. You're a reminder of everything I've lost. Of everything I could have had. And I can't." Lewis looked at me devastatingly. "Please. Just go." I said, pushing him away. He sighed, clinging onto me tightly. "Please. Go." I repeated, hearing the anguish in my voice. Lewis stood up violently and left me, crying miserably in the hospital bed, the ugly scars on my stomach to remind me of the pain that didn't show.
