Lily's POV
8am
I woke up with the sudden need to throw up. After I throw up I lay on the cool floor for a little bit. I get myself up and brush my teeth, and head back to bed. I climb into bed and notice crackers and ginger ale on the bedside table. I pick up my phone I see a text from atlas "Hope you're feeling better today. Good luck with Alyssa today. I'll be home at 5 today." I text him back. Thank you for the crackers and ginger ale. I did just throw up but I'm ok. I decide to go try and go try and find something little to eat. I'm in the kitchen I find a note from Atlas on the fridge. "Eat small meals today I researched it last night and the internet said eat small meals whenever you can." I took a picture and sent it with a message. You did research huh. I added a smile to the end. I sent it. I decide to make myself some toast with Jelly. While I'm waiting for the bread to toast Atlas texts me back. "Yeah I needed to know what to do for you. How to take care of you." I smile to myself. My bread finally pops from the toaster I fix my toast and decide I want apple juice to drink. I eat the toast slowly. I take some time for myself in the quiet to just think. I know I don't want Ryle to have anything to do with this baby. My hand goes to my stomach. I love Atlas I always have and always will. But I also don't want to put all this on him. He didn't ask for any of this. I'll figure all this out baby. I say to my stomach.
12:50pm
The doorbell rings she's early I say to myself trying to just breathe I'm so nervous. I go to get the door. "Lily oh my god" she rushes to hug me. I wrap my arms around my best friend worried I'm about to lose her. Because of course she'll choose her brother. "Are you ok?" I avoid her question, Do you want something to drink? Not right now. Come sit down. She sits next to me on the couch. "Are you ok?" I was leaving yesterday. She takes my hand. I was coming down the stairs my bags in hand and he... I say taking a deep breath.."he what Lily what did he do?" He pushed me down the stairs... "I'm going to kill him!" I put my hand on her arm. I'm not done. It knocked me out. When I opened my eyes Atlas was there. He took me to the hospital. They ran all the test and I do mean all the test. She squeezes my hands. I start to cry. I have a concussion and I'm pregnant. "Oh my god!" She hugs me. I'm going to lose you. I cry harder. "none of this is your fault. You'll never lose me ever ok. I choose you over my brother. Do you hear me?" I nod. I'm filing for divorce and citing domestic violence. "Mom
will help you."
One more thing. Atlas wants to help raise the baby. "Adonis wants to be dad?" Yes I say. "Do you love him?" Yes I say I always have and always will." I say with a smile, "then be with him, I'm sure my ass of a brother has had plenty of girlfriends. Seriously Lily just be happy that's all we want for you. We all love and adore you." I give her a tight hug. I don't want Ryle to know anything about the baby. I don't want anything from him, I just want out.
