The Lawyer (W|W)

Chapter 13

I had already left Andy's house and I was now caught on traffic. I checked the time and it reads 19:30. My house was really far from here. When I was still waiting in the traffic, I got a call. It was Brooke.

"Hey." I replied softly. "Hey." She said in her husky voice. I squeezed my thighs together feeling a wave of electricity going down my legs.

Is it okay if I feel like this?? "Where are you??" She asked. "I'm on my way home and I'm caught up on traffic." I replied. She hummed. "I'm already at your house I arrived 10 minutes ago and Maria let me in saying I should wait for you." She said calmly.

"I'm sorry I'm going to be late cause I'm caught up on traffic. I'll be a bit late." I said sighing. She hummed. "I'll wait for you." "Please make yourself comfortable." She hummed. I hung up. When I looked up, the traffic had depleted.

I have finally arrived home after the long traffic and was feeling exhausted. I parked my car in the garage and made my way into the house. I really felt like I was going to fall because I suddenly don't feel well.

I held onto the kitchen counter when someone entered the kitchen. "Are you okay??" I looked up to find grey orbs looking down at me. Brooke. I almost forgot that she was here.

I stood up straight and gave her a weakly smile. "Yes I'm fine." She just smiled when suddenly she carried me as if I weighed nothing. She gently sat me down on the couch. What the hell. "Have you eaten??" I shook my had no. "Good. I made food for us." What does she mean she made food?? She can cook!?

Wow this woman surprises me a lot. She then left the living room heading to the kitchen. I switched on the TV boredly and I waited for her. Cartoons are really good at this time of the night.

She came back holding two plates and placed one of the plates in my hands. She had made macaroni and cheese. It really looked delicious. I didn't even think before I picked up my fork and started eating. It was indeed delicious. I moaned at the cheesy taste hitting my tongue over and over. She's really a good cook, her cooking is excellent.

We were both done eating and were both watching the TV while we laughed at one of the cartoon characters. My legs were on her lap since she offered to massage them saying they'd get swollen. She sounds like Andy. I think they rubbing off on each other. No. Andy is rubbing off on everybody around her except me.

We were still watching cartoons when we suddenly had a knock on the door. Who could it be at this hour? Brooke gently removed my legs from her lap and went to check who was at the door.

When she opened the door, she stood there clenching her jaw. "She wouldn't like seeing you here, you should leave." She said to the person opposite the door. "So she really went on and replaced me with a loser like you??" I know that voice.

It's Andrew. What was he doing here?? I stood up and made my way to the door. "Andrew, what are you doing here??" I said feeling my blood boil. He looked at me in disgust and pushed through Brooke. "I forgot some files in the old office, I didn't think I'd find you with your new thing."

Brooke looked turned around and looked at Andrew. "What did you just call me??" She said in the most furious tone I've ever heard. She sounded mad right now. I was seeing a new side of Brooke. I hope Andrew doesn't repeat himself.

"I said thing. Are you deaf or something??" Stupid, stupid, stupid. He really did repeat himself. In a swift move, Brooke had already punched Andrew and he was now on the floor. Andrew looked at Brooke and smirked.

"You really punch like a bitch." He said chuckling. That didn't seem to please Brooke. She threw another punch. I tried standing in between them when suddenly Andrew pushed me, making me hit the table and fall back...

"Ouch." I said scrunching my face while my hand made its way to my belly. They both turned to me. Brooke rushed to me hurriedly. She bent to where I was and held me.

"Marissa... Breathe." She said. My face was still scrunched from the pain I was feeling. I held on to my belly hoping the pain wasn't coming from there, but sadly it was. Brooke turned her head to Andrew while clenching her jaw. "You see what you did?!" She said sounding angry.

She was about to stand up from where we were, but I held her hand. "I don't want my baby to die." I said to her feeling helpless and in pain. It was like the more I talk, the more pain I feel. She turned her head back to Andrew.

"Call the fucken ambulance." She said in the most calm tone ever. Andrew looked at me as if he was feeling terrified. He knew that if my baby dies, it'll be all on him. He knew that his father would take away the company from him.

I felt the need to close my eyes so I did... "Oh no Marissa, you gotta open your eyes for me." I weakly opened my eyes, not fully though, and was met with a worried Brooke. "The ambulance is on way and I need you to hold on a bit, so please keep your eyes opened, okay?" I nodded.

I tried keeping my eyes opened but failed. I was able to hear Brooke panicking from beside me telling to open my eyes. I tried but failed once again. I suddenly felt very weak and let go of Brooke's hand.

The last thing I heard so when Brooke told someone that she'd pick me up.

Dear God, I am now ready to leave this world.
