Our New Life {Sequel of : So Close, And Yet So Far Away}

Chapter 7

Diggy POV:

Around 7:00 am, I woke up in bed. My heart was pounding, and my anxiety had woken me up early. Emerald still wasn't home, and I was all alone in the house. Before I fell asleep last night, I had tried to call her a countless amount of times, but she didn't answer. I still ended up falling asleep though, because the fact that I had just pulled an all-nighter the previous night had taken a toll on me.

For a few seconds, I lay in the bed, staring at the ceiling, listening to the birds calling out to each other. Finally, I decided to roll over and grab my phone from the night stand to check if Emerald was okay. Picking it up, I checked the screen for notifications of any missed calls or texts.

None.

My heart started to pound even more, and I began to feel sick to my stomach.

I got out of bed, and got ready for work early, trying not to think about anything.

Emerald POV:

When I woke up, I had the worst headache that I've ever had in my life.

Because I was grimacing in pain, my eyes were shut tightly, and I didn't decided to open them until suddenly, all the memories from last night came back.

The club, the drink, the dancing, I thought to myself.

"I fainted!" I yelled out suddenly, horrified because I didn't know where I was.

I finally opened my eyes, and I was surrounded by darkness. I tried to scramble around to find a light switch, but as soon as I got up, a tearing pain ran through my wrist. I placed my free hand onto my wrist, and touched it.

It was wet, it must have been bleeding. Besides the wet feeling, I felt something metallic around my wrist, almost like handcuffs.

I got even more scared, realizing that I couldn't go anywhere, or even see where I was.

I slumped down into the same spot that I was sitting in when I woke up, and began to cry, really hard. Knowing it was Monae, I was suddenly filled with anger, and stood up again, this time not minding the feeling of my wrist's skin tearing open.

"Monae," I screamed at the top of my lungs, tears streaming down my sweaty face. "I know you can hear me! How could you do this! I'm pregnant! Imagine what kind of damage you could have done to the baby, by slipping drugs into my water! You monster!"

I slumped down again, feeling the adrenaline coursing through me. As it began to wear off, so did my anger, and my sadness took over.

Leaning against a cold wall, I touched my wrist again, feeling the blood dripping down my fingers.

"I'm going to make sure you get caught," I mumbled to myself. "You're not going to get away with this."

I began to cry, really heavy sobs. I couldn't control it, and I knew that there was no way that I could control this situation either.
