Is This Real Love?

Part 5

Days flown by, that it was almost Christmas. They were planning a party, Kelly was planning on coming along with Elizabeth. Bones invited Della. Breaking up with Alex after she told him about the baby. Yes they did fight, but kicked him out before it could get violent.

Kelly and Elisabeth didn't want Della to come because she didn't work there nor having to do there. Since Steve and Della did have a small falling out.

Della came to the party for a little while. Her eyes beat red as Elizabeth and Kelly spoke in front of her and Bones along with Sarah.

"High are we?" Kelly asked. "I thought you had given that stuff up?" Sighing.  "I'm glad that my son had stopped seeing you and talking to you." Patting Elizabeth's back.

Sarah stuck up for Della. "She's not high. Della just broke up with Alex, thank you very much. Next time when you want to accuse someone, maybe you should think before you speak." Standing right into Kelly's face. And then looking at Elizabeth. "At least I don't go behind people's back and talk about things that aren't true. Bones take Della to our car."

Bones took a hold of Della as he lead her to their car. Steve comes out from the bathroom seeing the Della didn't look so good. He didn't think that she was high or anything. Sarah followed as Steve stopped her.

"What happened to Della?"

"Other than heart broken from Alex, why don't you go ask you loving mother and girlfriend, if that's what you want to call her." Taking two steps away from him and then looking at him. "Sorry. But I just can't deal with them." She left.

As he chased after them he stopped, over hearing. "Why did you get her high?"

"I accidentally gave her one of my brownies. Besides, I didn't think one would hurt after she lost her baby after that dirt bag leaving her after he asked her to abortion it."

"You know that she's been on the road to recover."

"One slip up that wasn't her fault." Putting Della into the car with Billy. "I'll even stay with her."

"No. This is our fault. I just fear we have a long road head of us. Let's just get out of here." They both got into the car and left.

'baby? Abortion? Alex left her? But what does this have to deal with Elizabeth and my mother?' Steve went back in as they were giggling. "Mom, Elizabeth. I'm going to follow Bones and Sarah."

"Honey she's a loss cause. She came here high. It's the first time I saw her high." Kelly patted her son's back.

"Steve, she's broken. I know you want to help her baby. I get. But you can't fix her." Her arms warps around his neck.

Removing her arms. "Wow. I see. You two have fun here." Going to get his jacket. "She's my best friend, the way you both treat her is horrible. I get it coming from you mom. But Elizabeth, that I don't understand."

"Honey you haven't spoken to her over in months. I thought you moved on from her."

"I have been busy." Putting on his sweater. "Don't even bother on stopping me." Getting his keys.

Driving to her house, he was pissed. How dare they speak to his friend like that. Especially in front of people. I mean it wasn't a fight that would cause a scene. It was in front of his other friends.

Knocking on her door as Sarah opens the door. "Steve. I don't think it's a good time."

"I know she's high. I heard you two outside before taking her home."

Closing her eyes as she lets him in. Bones was talking to Della as he helps her to bed. "It's going to be okay Della this is my fault. I shouldn't have given it to you. I know better."

"It's okay." She felt numb. As she curls up to Billy as she shakes a little.

"No it's not. I could have gotten you drunk or hell Sarah and I could had stayed with you instead of going to the party."

"I needed to get out." Rubbing her head. "Kelly will rip me a new one, Steve... Poor Steve. He really won't speak to me after this." Clutching her stomach.

"I will explain to him that this is my fault not yours. Just let me handle this." She nods as she went to sleep.

Stepping out of the room seeing Steve, Bones gears up to tell him as Sarah hands him a beer. "He knows."

"Steve, I'm sorry."

"I don't blame you. Well fully anyways. Is Alex really gone?"

"Yup. She gave him money to never come back into her life after threatening her life and well the baby that she was going to have." Placing the beer down. "I thought I was going to find her dead when she told me that he was out and that he would a way to kill her."

"You don't think he will, do you?"

"Nah, he's to damn lazy."

"Good. I think." Steve went over to Della's room. She was past out. Billy's head was on her hip, seeing Steve his head lifted up. Steve tipped toe towards him to let him. Whispering. "Hey buddy. I guess you and I have a long night, huh?" Deeping breathing as the world was left behind for tonight. Quick kiss on her cheek. Outside of her room. Shutting the door behind him. "You guys can go."

"No. That isn't fair to you, on what we done to her." Sarah came out from the bathroom after changing.

"I know but the both of you have a long drive for your guys vacation. Me.. I think I'll take two days off and so I can watch over her. I have been a horrible friend. I need to make it up to her."

"Steve what about Elizabeth?"

"Home?" Shrugged. "But I really don't care. How my mom and Elizabeth treated Della wasn't right. Even if she was fully high, Della is an adult, who can make her own choices." Steve crossed his arms. "So go. I mean it. You guys have been there when I wasn't. I thank you. Now it's my turn."

"Are you sure? What if she doesn't want to see you?" Bones asked.

"She'll have to get over it. Now go." Shooing them out so they could get some rest before their trip.

"Are you sure?" Bones asked.

"Yes. Shoo."

Sarah and Bones left to go home while, Steve went back to Della's room and watched her sleep most of the night. She had the sweats most of the night as Steve turned on the fan.

Steve dozed off sometime in the night, Della was in the bathroom. Waking up to the sound of her vomiting, he had gotten up and checked up on her. "Della?" Vomiting again she coughed. "It's okay Della. Let it all out. I'm here."

Two minutes after vomiting, Della did wait she wanted to make sure that she didn't have anything more to come. Opening the door, she looked like the dead. Steve put water and two Tylenol on the bedside.

Climbing back on bed as the world felt like it was spinning. This shouldn't be happening to her after having one brownie with some weed in it. This was something else. Maybe it was finishing up what was left of her pregnancy. Della didn't know all she did know that she wanted it to end very soon!

Seeing that she did take the Tylenol, Steve sat on the bed. "Does anything sound good? Ginger Ale? Sprite? Your mixture of Oj and Sprite?" Shaking her head no expect the oj and Sprite. "I thought that might sound good. I'll be back. Dont- well I know you won't." He didn't want her to move. Knowing that she wouldn't he just left her and made sure that she had everything that she needed before leaving.
