Bloom Moon Book 2

Chapter 5

Hey, guys, there's another chapter happy reading :)

Derek slammed me into the wall by the neck again.

"Are you even trying Steph?" he said, annoyed.

"You know all my weak spots." I defended.

"Your father knows your weak spots!"

Before I could think, my fist came up and slammed in his jaw. Derek's head snapped to the side and he released my neck. I immediately felt guilty.

"Again." He said. I shook my head.

"No."

"Again." He repeated, firmer than last time.

"No Derek, I'm not hitting you again." I said softly.

"Why?" he demanded.

"Because I don't want to end up like my dad and hurt the ones I love!" I exclaimed as tears filled my eyes.

I ran round him and went to leave the basement, but Lydia grabbed my elbow and pulled me to her, hugging me. I felt myself get pulled away from Lydia and towed up into the house. Derek shut the door and turned to me.

"You can't be weak in a fight." He said sternly.

"I'm not as strong as you think I am Derek." I stated. "You can't push me like you do the others."

"You have to be tested."

"Maybe I don't want to be tested, ever thought about that." I snapped, wincing slightly as I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.

Derek leant down and pressed his lips to mine, but I pushed him away as the pain in my stomach got worse; making me whimper.

"Steph, what's wrong?" Derek asked as I clutched my stomach, bending forward slightly.

The front door opened and Melissa and Mr Stilinski came into the house. Melissa saw me and ran over, holding me upright.

"What happened?" she asked.

"I don't know, she just grabbed her stomach." Derek replied, looking helpless.

"Does it hurt?" I nodded. "What kind of pain is it?"

"Sharp cramp, stabbing." I winced. Melissa's face saddened slightly.

"It's best if you stay down here for now." She told Derek before helping me upstairs to our bathroom. I stopped in the doorway and cried out as something warm and sticky pooled between my legs. "I'm so sorry Steph. Come on, I need to clean you up."

She ran a warm bath and I looked down, finding my lower half covered in blood. I panicked a little and looked at Scott's mum.

"W-what happened?" I stammered.

"Let me get you in the bath first." She stripped me and helped lower me into the warm water before crouching down to my level. "Steph, did you know you were pregnant?" she asked quietly.

"N-no." I replied, my eyes watering up. Her expression turned into one of sympathy.

"You were, but, you just miscarried." She said softly. The tears fell from my eyes and streamed down my cheeks. "It was most likely due from the shock of finding your father came back."

I started crying and she smoothed my hair off my face, kissing my forehead. She helped me out the bath and dried me off, changing me into sweatpants and a T-shirt. I still had tears streaming down my face as Melissa led me into the bathroom, sitting me down gently on the bed.

"I'll get Derek, just try and relax honey."

Derek's P.O.V.

I could hear Steph crying in our room and shot up the stairs when Melissa walked out.
