Damn it I'm going to be late! He thought jumping up and getting dressed hurriedly. Of course that morning his car decided not to start and he missed the bus. Running he kept checking the time he only had ten minutes before he had to be at work and his job was half way across town. Running faster his heart raced and his lungs burned. Taking out his phone he called his manager.
"Elisa I-I'm going to be late." He panted into his phone picking up speed.
" Are you running?"
" Y-Yea my car wouldn't start and I missed the bus.... I need this job. I cannot offered to lose this I have a baby on the way and I have to be able to support-."
" It's fine Shay as long as you get here."
"Thank you." Hanging up he picked up more speed trying to get there faster.
" Shay!"
" Turning he stopped abruptly hands on his knees trying to catch his breath.
" Lauren?"
" Shay do you need a ride?" He nodded still trying to catch his breath.
" Come on I'll give you a ride." Getting in he told her where he needed to go and thanked her gratefully for the ride as she dropped him off. Clocking in he fixed his uniform and began his shift cleaning and taking orders. He was exhausted but he managed to finish his shift with barely any mistakes. About to leave he felt someone staring at him as if his back was on fire. Turning he froze. She was standing across the street watching him with the saddest expression he'd ever seen. Taking a step in her direction she cocked her had to the side shaking it slightly before waving. He could barely move but he managed to wave back. She did the sign for 'I love you' in sign language and he answered again without thought before she disappeared. He seemed to be waking up was it a dream from his exhausted imagination or had he really seen Kayla? Walking numbly he heard someone call his name. Turning her realized it was Elisa and waited for her to catch up to him.
" Is everything okay?"
He shook his head and looked around.
" I should go if I plan to make it to my house before dark...I think I missed the bus again and my car is still at my home...."
" I'll give you a ride."
Climbing into his bed he was glade the next day was Sunday and his day off. He needed to sleep and he still had school....
Five months later.
Blinking awake he knew he wasn't alone the moment his eyes opened and looking into the dark corner of his room he realized he was right. Tristan stood like a silent nightmare in the corner of his room staring at him with an annoyingly satisfied grin on his face.
" Its time." Was all he said before moving towards the door. Shooting up Shay grabbed his shoes, shirt and jacket following Tristan out to the car. Kayla sat panting in the back seat in obvious pain as she clutched her swollen belly. He sat on the seat beside her taking her hand and offering her comfort.
" S-Shay." She moaned squeezing her hand tightly.
" I'm here." Rubbing the sleep from his eyes he stroked her hair back rocking her back and forth. she screamed squeezing his hand tightly.
" Kayla I'm here we're okay." He wanted her to feel like he'd never leave her like they were normal but he could feel his heart breaking all over again. Tristan drove fast and soon they were parked in front of someone's home.
" What the hell are you doing! She's having a baby!"
" Its a friends house she's a mid-wife we can't take her to a hospital they'll try and take her to her 'parents'." She groaned again and they hurriedly helped her into the house.
