Kick the Dust Up

Chapter 16

"Good news!" We all said in unison.

"Good news, Alene's memory loss is not permanent," the doctor said with a smile. I let out a huff and smiled. I looked over at Alene and she looked back at me with the same smile.

"Ok, and the bad news?" I asked unsure if I really wanted to hear it. The doctors smile faded and he looked back down at his clipboard.

"Alene," he started. "Were you by chance, pregnant?" He asked. Pregnant? Why would he think that!

"No, we weren't," I said looking over at Alene. She stared at the wall. "Alene?"

"L-" she fell silent.

"What?" I said. She couldn't be pregnant! We used protection! How could this happen?! Why didn't she tell me?! Then it seemed like everything fell into place. My face went pale.

Alene's POV

"Pregnant?" I thought. I looked around, at everyone in the room. These were my closest friends. Memories started flooding back. From when Sophia and I first met, from when Luke asked me to be his girlfriend, and the "I love you's". Pregnant. I was pregnant.

"L-" I started but fell silent. Now I remembered the accident. I was driving because I had so many different motions about telling Luke about the baby! "Y-yes." I said as tears slowly started streaming down my face. Luke got up and wrapped his arms around me and held me in his embrace. I could tell he was crying too, but he didn't want me to know. He wanted to stay strong for me. That's one of the reasons why I fell in love with him. Luke's embrace filled me with more memories from our relationship.

"Luke and Alene, I'm sorry to tell you this. But you had a miscarriage, Alene." he said. I started sobbing into Luke's shirt. I lost the baby. It was all my fault!

"I'm so sorry Luke!" I cried. Luke laid down in the bed with me, squeezing me to him as I clung onto his shirt.

"Alene it wasn't your fault," he said. "Everything's going to be okay," Luke said rubbing my back.

Luke's POV

"Hey Luke, come here," Carter whispered, not wanting to wake Alene. I got up silently and walked to the door that lead to the hospital's hallway. The whole band and crew stood there with their arms filled with flowers, balloons, gifts, cards, and stuffed animals. I smiled and let out a small chuckle. The first time I've smiled, yet laughed since the news. They all smiled and I put my finger over my mouth to tell them to be quiet. I then motioned them into the room to put their stuff down. They all put their stuff down and silently walked back out.

"Thanks ya'll so much, She'll love it." I smiled.

"No problem." Kent said.

"Tell us when she wakes up, We'll be in the waiting room," Kevin said. I nodded and they all went toward the waiting room except for Kerrie and Carter.

"Hey Luke," Kerrie said, " I need to talk to you."

Carter patted my back and went to the waiting room as me & Kerrie stayed outside in the hallway.

"What's up?" I asked.

"It's about Alene," she said.

"What about her?" I asked curiously.

"Well, she kinda cheated on you."

"What?!" I asked pissed that Kerrie would dare say that.

"Listen Luke, I saw her messing around with one of the fans a couple weeks ago. I didn't want to tell you because you seemed so happy with her," she said.
