KISS AND KILL

TWISTED TURNS🍁

I am now at a hospital waiting for the doctor who is about to come with the results of my full body scan.Jenna is sitting across the bed on which I am laying.She is biting her lips and constantly checking the time in her phone.I am damn tensed.I don't know what is wrong with me.

Today morning,when I was shifting my luggages to my new apartment with Jenna,I accidentally sprained my spine.I felt like I was in hell.My whole body was in pain and suddenly blood started coming out from between my legs.We both got so scared that we came to the hospital right then.

Here comes the doctor.She is very friendly and calm unlike the other doctors I have seen.She seems to be very patient about my nervousness and Jenna's continuosly pestering questions.She is having a scan report and an x ray with her and is smiling from ear to ear.She sat beside me and shook my hands.Both Jenna and I were baffled.

Finally the doctor said,"Congratulations on being a mom,Noah".I didn't know what to say or do.I felt the building cracking and me falling into a huge pit filled with darkness.My ears kept hearing the same sentence again and again.I looked at Jenna who was sitting still with her mouth open.She looked at me with a glance of betrayal which I didn't understand.

When the doctor realised that we weren't having the happiness that she anticipated,she left saying that she would leave us alone for a few minutes.I was at a loss of words.I didn't know how to make Jenna understand the truth.

I slowly stretched my hands,cupped Jenna's arms in mine and tried to give her a reassuring smile that she didn't reciprocate.She flinched away from my touch and asked me,"Who is the father,Noah?"

I kept quiet.I knew how she would react upon hearing the right answer.So the best thing I can do is to keep quiet atleast until the baby comes out.Jenna started shaking me."Tell me Noah.WHO IS THE FATHER?"She sounded frantic and hurt and disappointed.

I recounted how Jenna has always supported me through out the journey of my life.How she always stood by me whenever her best friend Nick bullied me,how she was always the happiest person about my relationship with Nick,how she was always there for me when Nick broke up and I was on the verge of suicide,how she never lied to me when all others around me did.No! I can't hide this anymore.Atleast not from her.

I looked into Jenna's eyes with conviction,pressed her hands tightly together and uttered it for the first time
"It is Nick's."

When Jenna looked at me with surprise and doubt for further clarification,I hugged her tightly and repeated the naked yet painful truth .
"Nicholas is the father of my child."
