Unexpected

Chapter Sixteen

*2 hours later*
I sat in the coffee shop just staring down at the table. I felt like my mind had gone to a different place. I stopped crying. I felt absolutely nothing. Then a stupid guy came up to me and touched my arm.
"You okay cutie?" He asked winking at me. I have him a disgusted look and shoved his arm off my shoulder.
"I'm fine." I said to him looking anywhere but at his creepy face.
"Let me buy you a drink. We get a little drunk, make out a little and help you forget whatever it is you look sad about?" He said more as a statement than a question, like i didn't have an option if I went with him or not.
"Yeah okay just one problem, I'm pregnant and married." I lied.
"I don't see a ring?" He said sliding in the booth with me.
"I got pregnant and we got married on a whim. No rings." I said scooting away from him. God why today of all days does this creep show up? I don't even know him, and he wants to get in my pants. Disgusting.
"So then why are you alone?" He cooed in my ear. "get into a fight with your hubby? I wouldn't be so mean to you. I'd make you feel nice." He said rubbing my leg.
"Get off of me." I said trying to push him away. Of course I chose a booth in the back of the coffee shop where no one goes. Damn it.
"Ah ah ah. No your coming with me babe." He said tugging my arm up and pulling me out the back.
"No! Stop it! Get away from me!" I screamed trying to hit him. I punched him in the jaw.
"Bitch! You're gonna pay for that!" He said right before he punched me in the face. I fell to the pavement and a soft whimper came out of my mouth.
"Help me... Please help." I said starting to cry. I knew no one could hear me.
"Get up!" He screamed in my face spitting on me. I stood up feeling dizzy. He smacked me again and I fell. He went to kick me when someone grabbed the back of his shirt.
"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" I recognized the voice but I couldn't picture the face. I heard punches and I tried to scoot back. My vision was so blurry I couldn't make out any faves just black figures. I clutched my stomach and threw up. He had kicked me. I could feel the pain now. I don't remember him kicking me though.

My baby. No. He hurt my baby.

"If you ever hurt another women like that you will regret it for the rest of your puny life!" I heard the voice say to the guy who beat me.

The next thing I remember was someone picking me up and carrying me away.

"Avery. Avery honey wake up." It was Calum. Calum always called me honey. Each of the boys called me something different. Calum's was honey. I opened my one eye that didn't feel purple and swollen. I felt pain ringing through my body.
"Calum? What happened?"
"I got a call from Michael. He sounded drunk. It was only 11am so I knew something couldn't be right. He said something about you two breaking up and you packing and leaving then he laughed and hung up."
I winced when he said Michael laughed as if us breaking up was funny to him. I sat up holding my stomach. It hurt so bad.
"He kicked you?" Calum said angrily.
"How did you find me? How'd you know where I'd be?" I said lifting my shirt. There were bruises forming on my stomach. I gasped. I felt tears.
"Avery. Oh my god." Calum said getting up and grabbing his phone off the counter.
"W-who are you calling?" I said crying.
"Ashton and Luke they went to the store to get more Advil and to help sober up Michael." He said dialing one of their numbers.
I held onto my stomach praying my baby didn't die from the impact of the guy kicking me. I felt pain all over me. I just wanted to make it to 17 weeks so I could hold my baby for whatever time she/he had to live and that guy probably just took that away from me.
*1 hour later*
I woke up feeling barely any pain. Both my eyes were swollen but one could still see a little bit. I saw white. Everything was white. I saw Calum in a chair next to me, Ashton and Luke were on a couch. I heard beeping or some type of continuous small noise. I was in a bed. I'm in a hospital? Why? What am I doing here? I sat up. Opening my eyes as much as possible. I started to panic. I couldn't see. I have no idea where I am? I know I'm in a hospital but why? Is my baby okay? Weird noises were everywhere. I was screaming. I felt hands on me. All I could picture was that guy w-who hurt my baby... My baby. I was screaming louder now.
"Avery! Stop! You're okay. It's us! Luke, Ashton and Calum. We're here it's okay." I felt a body next to me. It was Ashton. He wrapped his hands around me and tears ran down my cheeks. I laid close to him whimpering.
"Shhhh it's okay. We're here. We're all here." He said into my ear. Rubbing my arm to comfort me. But he was wrong. They all weren't there. Someone was missing. Two someone's were missing.

I knew my baby wasn't safe inside me anymore. I could feel it in my bones. I wasn't a mother anymore.
