Schizophrenia [#Wattys2017]

Chapter 50

Tess's POV

I couldn't breathe. My brain wasn't taking in the shocking and unexpected news that Josh had just told me.

At the moment, I was sitting on the swing in the park, thinking about what Josh told me.

Six months. Only six months.
My eyes widened at the thought of our baby's future. How could our child survive without a father?

A menacing laugh made my head snap up, back into reality. "How many times have we met in this same park, Tessie?" Dan's voice sent chills up my spine.

"What do you want, Dan?" My voice hoarse and raspy from all the crying.

"I've told you this before, Tessie. You. I want you. Just a small taste of this body of yours and we're done. You'll never see me again," he took a large step closer making me inhale a sharp breath.

"No," I mumbled to myself. This could not be happening again. Maybe if I told him about my pregnancy he'll stop.

No.
What if he tries hurting my child?

"Dan, please. Just leave me alone," I begged. He took a few more steps closer until he was less than a foot away from me.

"Come on Tess. A little fun won't hurt," he gripped my wrists and yanked me off the swing and pushed my body into the large tree trunk behind me.

"I'm just finishing off what we started last summer. You do remember, don't you? Okay then, let me remind you," with that he pinned my body hard against the tree and slammed his lips with mine. The kiss wasn't anywhere near how Josh's kisses were.

The horrid smell if alcohol making me want to gag as his tongue tried to find it's way into my mouth. It takes all I have not to throw up. Before I could yell, his hand was brought up to my mouth. He pushes it forcefully against my lips, diving my head hard against the wood behind me, making it throb.

I feel his free hand slide down my body, making it's way to my legs. I geek the coldness of his fingers against my legs and he moves them up underneath my skirt. A tear rolls down my cheek as his hands grip my butt, causing a deep groan to leave his mouth.

"You know that last time we did this, you were more active," he referred back to high school days, when we "dated". He smirked as he let out a small evil laugh. He starts to move his head back to the front and I know exactly where he's headed.

I squeezed my eyes shut hoping this was all a dream. Before I knew it, I could hear Josh's voice.
"I will freaking kill you!" He screamed while grabbing Dan by the shoulder and slamming him into the ground, repeatedly punching him in the face.
Dan rolls over on the ground and Josh begins to kick him over and over again, leaving me speechless.

I was scared. Of both Josh and Dan. I'd never seen Josh so violent and aggressive.

"Josh, you're going to kill him!" I screamed as Dan stopped moving. "If you ever touch her again, you're a dead ass!" he yelled at him before giving him a final kick.

He gave Dan dirty looks before turning and rushing towards me.

"Tess! Oh my God, I'm so sorry," he said before pulling me in for a hug.
I pulled away and stared into his piercing blue-grey eyes. I soon began crying at what had just happened and what could've happened.
"Josh," I sobbed into his chest. "Don't worry, Princess. It's okay. Lets go home," he gave Dan a small kick to make sure he was still alive since he wasn't moving.
Thank goodness Dan let out sounds of pain which indicated that he was still alive- which was half good.

When we reached home, Josh ushered me towards the couch and jogged to the kitchen. He returned with a glass of water.
"Here," I needed this glass of water. It was like the blood to my body. I quickly downed the glass and placed it on the wooden table that was directly in front of me.

"Um, Tess?" Josh questioned.

"Yeah," I furrowed my eyebrows while thinking about why he was so nervous.
"I'm sorry for not telling you about my cancer," he looked to the ground, embarrassed.

"Josh, saying sorry to me doesn't mean that I'm not upset with you. In fact, I'm still both angry and upset," I looked away from him, to express my annoyance with him.
"Hey," he said calmly and cupped my chin, moving my head to face him. "Okay, but really, I am sorry," he said, guilt in his eyes.
I left a tender kiss on his cheek before getting of the sofa. "I'm gonna go upstairs and rest. I need time to think," I smiled at him before walking up the stairs.

That's when it hit me. Josh won't be here to see our child. Our baby.
No. Nothing will happen to him. He will be completely fine. And all of this is just an extremely bad dream. Minutes later, I find myself drifting of to sleep.
