SCARLET'S POV
DATE: JANUARY 3RD
YEAR: 2013
I stepped on the scale and grabbed my mom's hand. I gave her a reassuring smile and watched the numbers move up and down. It finally calculated and it read: 96.4
My mom looked at me and gave me a huge hug. "Look at all the improvement you've made Lottie! I'm so proud of you!" She squealed giving me a hug. "You're going to be healthy!"I hugged back and put my head on her shoulder, "I need to go call Liz!"
She scurried away and I smiled to myself. This isn't as bad as I thought. No more Luke. No more of that stupid Elo- I heard my mom gasp a little bit. "How could you do that to my daughter, Liz?!"A knock was on my hospital door and my mom told me to stay put. "Get her out of here."
"She's pregnant I couldn't just leave her at my house, Meg."
My mom sighed and let them in. I walked out into my room and saw Liz and I'm guessing, Elodie. "Liz? Can I talk to you in the hallway?" She asked.
She silently nodded her head while I laid back down in my bed. Elodie sat in one of plastic chairs and gave me an evil smirk. "What's your problem?" I asked in a snarky tone.
"You," she stated simply.
"And why is that?"
"Because I don't need you ruining my plans," she rolled her eyes.
"What are your plans?" As if she was dumb enough to tell me.
"The thing is that Luke and I did have sex, but since he's so naive he believes everything I say. So now you put together the rest Scarlet. Let's see how smart you are," she patted my head.
Right when Elodie was down being just plain weird Liz and my mom walked back in. "Scarlet," she came up and hugged me, "I'm so proud of you! You're getting so much better honey!"
"Thanks, Liz, "I smiled.
"You're welcome, sweetheart. Well you know Elodie right?"
Elodie gave me a harsh look and answered for me, "yeah we just met and Scarlet has a beautiful personality," she smiled, rolling a lie right off her tongue.
Liz looked at me and I smiled at her.
Oh. How. Much. I. Effin. Hate. Elodie.
I guess my mom realized how frustrated I was getting and told Liz that I had another therapy appointment so she took Elodie and left. I sat down on my bed and started tearing up. My mom wrapped her arms around me while I sobbed into her shirt. "I'm sorry she brought Elodie here. You shouldn't have to see the reason Luke has to be with her."
"It's fine, mom. Really. Luke needs to go be with her and I'm not letting their baby grow up without a father. I love Luke, but I love him enough to know what's right and let him go."
"You're the best Lottie. You know that? You're a fighter. And that's why I love you, Scarlet."
"Thanks mom," i sighed, "I just feel like it's not even Luke's baby."
Her eyes went wide. "What do you mean?"
"I mean when you and Liz went to talk Elodie gave me a bit of her "plans". She said that her and Luke had sex but since he's so naive he would believe anything she said. And they she told me to put it together," I said with a confused tone.
"So I'm guessing the used a condom, but Luke thinks it snapped or it didn't work. So maybe it did work and the baby is someone else's. But who?" My mom questioned.
"Does she have another boyfriend or something?"
"Probably. Lottie, I have a bad feeling about this. I really care for Luke so maybe we could get Elodie's phone and look through her texts," my mom started making a plan.
"Oo. Mom you're a bad ass," I laughed.
"I'm only 32, Lottie. I have lots of living to do still," she smiled. She pulled out her phone and called her. I waited for about five minutes, only hearing bits and pieces of their conversation. "She said that she would bring Elodie back to the hospital. But you need to come up with something why she needs to come back."
"Uh. I will just say that I have info about her plans and she's going get caught," I said thinking of something frantically. Then I heard a knock at the door. "How the hell are they getting here so fast?!"
"They just left two minutes ago. It doesn't take a lot of time to turn around in a car."
I laid back down on my bed and watched Liz go into the bathroom while Elodie inched closer to me. My mom walked silently behind her making hand signals that her phone is in her back pocket. "Why do you need me?" She asked.
"Uh I figured out your plans," I said.
"You're bluffing," my mom bent down and started to pick it out of her pocket, but Elodie took a step closer to me.
"Well I'm not. You made it obvious," the lock on the bathroom stared jingling. My mom made a panicked face and took a chance and snatched her phone.
Liz stepped out of the bathroom and told Elodie that they had to get back. She gave me a fake smile and once they left I got Elodie's iPhone and swiped the screen to unlock it. I went to her messages and looked at each of the messages sent.
Hm.
Cullen.
I clicked on his name and I saw all the messages. I gasped when I saw something so disgusting. Not like that. Don't have a dirty mind.
Elodie: Cullen!
Cullen: Luke doesn't know that it isn't his kid right?
Elodie: He's clueless
Cullen: so we're just going to take his money and then you'll come back to me
Elodie: correct. I want my baby to be famous so this is perfect
Cullen: okay well I love you
Elodie: love u too
