Baby A

Forgiving The Liar

“STOP SCREAMING!” The man yelled as he smashed my face against the ground. I cried as blood dripped out of my nose and my back. He removed the scolding iron “A” from my back. Then stood up and walked over to the sink. He turned on the cold water and placed the, still, burning red “A” under it. The A’s glow went out with load hissing and cracking. I was laying there in the dark telling myself to get up but soon I felt the man’s hands on me again. This time they were cold and wet. I think he was holding a towel to my new burnt mark.

“P-please! Please don’t kill me!” I cried

The man dug his oddly sharp fingernails into my wound, causing me to scream. Then I heard the door fly open and the man’s footsteps running out the door, followed by a darkness that blanketed my eyes.

“She’s waking up.” I heard a familiar voice say.

“Aria!”

“Hannah! Shh!”

“Sorry…”

As I opened my eyes I saw my 3 best friends, Hannah, Spencer, and Emily, by the side of my bed looking at me.

“Sorry, Aria.” Hanna said less sorry then she was happy. “Did I wake you?”

“oh no. I was coming to me senses anyway.” I said smiling not realizing what excruciating pain I was in until I shifted my back a little. I yelped, causing the other girls to jump.

Spencer put her hand on my shoulder, “Aria, don’t try and move it’s just going to make things worse.”

“You have a nasty scar of you back! It looks like and A!” Hanna added, which caused her to get a glare from the other girls. “What! It’s true! And that guy who did it to you we think it might be-”

“Hanna! Enough!” Spencer said sharply cutting her off.

I cocked my head. “No! Tell me guys fill me in!” I looked at the clock it was 6:oo pm, wow I had been out of it for a long time.

“Ok,” Emily started, “So I went to math class and you know, sat down, got out last night’s homework, the normal. Then it was like 20 minutes into class and you still hadn’t come in.”

Spencer continued for her, “So then I asked Emily where you were, and she said check the bathroom. So, I did so. When I got to the hallway, I heard screaming. So, I ran to the bathroom and saw you, a bloody mess on the floor, and this black figure hovering over you. He ran before I could get a good look at him.”

I looked at the white bed sheets, “Wow, That’s a lot to take in. Do my parents and Ezra know?”

“Your mom and dad came when you first got here around 10:00am, but we had to come after school. They wouldn’t let us come see you. I fucking sucked.” Hanna said.

“What about Ezra?” I repeated.

Emily looked at the others, “I texted him.”

“And…” I said looking nervous.

“He texted me back saying he was busy.”

I bit my lip trying not to cry, “Oh, yeah he does have Malcolm over.”

Spencer sat on my bed, “Aria, what’s going on? Why all the sudden is –A after you and now Ezra hates you.”

“You can tell us anything!” Hanna said while sitting on Spencer’s lap causing her to make a loud “Ooph!”

I tried to smile, “This isn’t how I wanted to tell you guys.”

“Tell us what?” Emily asked

I took a deep breath then said, “I’m pregnant.” Spencer looked like she had just been stabbed in the heart with 6ft long sword. Emily’s mouth dropped open, and Hanna, well Hanna was smiling, surprisingly.

“THAT’S AMAZING ARIA!” Hanna said hugging me, causing great pain in my back, “oh sorry. BUT YOU AND EZRA ARE GOING TO BE PARENTS AND ITS GOING TO BE SOOOO CUTE.”

Spencer looked at Hanna like she was crazy “Shut the fuck up!”

“What did you just say to me?” Hanna said turning around to Spencer.

“You heard me! Obviously you don’t know a thing about teenage pregnancy! Aria,” Spencer said turning to me, “How could you be so careless! Now –A is going to be on are asses even more!”

“Well if you would shut up about it maybe –A wouldn’t find out!”

Emily butted in, “And what happens when you start showing?!”

“Then I’ll worry about that when the time comes!” Then we all looked up and saw him. The last person I wanted to see right now but there he was. Ezra walked in and looked at the other girls.

“Um, Hi.” He said looking at us, “could I talk to Aria alone please?” They all nodded and left the room. “Aria Im s-”

“Where’s Malcolm?” I intrupted

“He’s in the waiting room, now, Listen, Aria I’m sorry.”

“I know you are.”

“So… I got you something to make it up to you.”

“Ezra…”

“No, No, Now listen. I want to be a good father! I have two children now and I’m going to be the best dad ever! It just overwhelmed me… you know… I don’t have a job and now I have one more mouth to feed!”

“I can help! I’m going to get a job maybe even two!”

“No Aria! I can take care of us!” I rolled my eyes and kissed him

“I love you so much! Please never leave me like that again!”

“I won’t. I promise!” He said as he pulled out a gold heart locked, “This, baby, is for you.” He put the locked on me and then, carefully lifted up my shirt. Only causing me to slightly wimpier. “I should have been there for you. –A even told me so.” I cocked my head.

“what do you mean?”

“I got a text from –A that read, One Baby, Two baby fried up mama. Better watch out Ezra I got your bitch in my hands now.”

“Yeah, well they sure did leave their mark.” I said laughing.

Ezra laid in my bed with me just as my mom and dad walked in making him jump up.

“Hello Ezra.” My mom said.

“what are you doing here?” My dad asked him.

Ezra looked at me. I wasn’t ready to tell my parents yet, I knew they’d freak out and kick me out.

“Um, I wanted to make sure my girlfriend was ok.”

“Ok well I think you should leave now.” My dad said opening the door.

“Dad!”

“Not the time Aria.” Byron, basically, yelled as Ezra walked out.

                I waited until Ezra was gone then turned to my dad and yelled at him, “Dad I know you don’t like him but your going to have to warm up to him, trust me!”

                “Young lady! I’m your father! I don’t have to do anything you say!”

                “Byron.. shes in the hospital!” My mom said kissing my forehead and putting a “get well soon” balloon beside my bed.

                I smiled, “thanks mom.”
