CHAPTER 35
Céline
Before
My phone is ringing, I am patiently waiting for Charles to pick up. My hands are still trembling trying to hold the steering wheel as tight as possible.
I am pregnant.
I just found out and the only thing in my mind has been 'how the fuck is this possible?' not that I really need an answer. I have to tell Charles, I could never hide something like that: something like his son.
As I stop at the traffic light the voicemail comes up and I end the call just to start another one immediately after. I need him to pick up. I need him to know and to tell me that everything's gonna be fine, that we'll go through this together.
'C'mon Charles, pick up! Pick up, damn.'
My heart is beating so fast I can hear it in my ears, nearly covering the ring of the call. In this moment I just feel a void, I feel totally empty and yet a baby is growing inside of me. A baby. The result of the love I had to let go less than a couple of months ago. The light turns green and I throw a last glance to my phone before fixing my eyes on the road and pushing on the accelerator. Then everything happens so fast I can't even realize it.
A sudden jolt throws me forward.
In the matter of seconds my car is spinning.
Time slows as the glass shutters and I'm thrown against the seat, the belt cutting into my chest. Panic is the only thing I can feel. There's no ringtone anymore, and my heart is beating even faster than before. Tears mingle with blood as pain sears through me, every breath is a struggle. My hands instinctively reach for my belly, I'm stuck in this car, flipped upside down.
'No, no, no. Please no.'
I have no strength to move, my head spins and the vision is blurry. I try to keep myself awake hoping that someone is calling for help. It's not even noon but for me it's like midnight, I'm wrapped in darkness and the only thing I'm trying to picture in my head are Charles' green eyes, as a light of hope and salvation.
I'm so scared, I can't feel anything.
I don't know how much time passes before I perceive hands on my body trying to get me out of the car and then all over me to check for any concussion or injury. They're asking me things, probably to keep me awake and see if I'm responsive. But I am not, and before hearing anything else my eyes shut.
