Schizophrenia [#Wattys2017]

Chapter 54

Tess's POV

I could feel my belly getting bigger and heavier ever day. As much as I love the fact that I'm pregnant, I want to get my two babies out.
It was irritating to have something continuously kicking you from the inside. Josh found it extremely amusing. Every once in a while, he'd pretend to talk to the babies and drum a melodious beat on my round belly.

"You know I love you, right?" Josh questioned, out of nowhere. "Josh, you know the answer to that. Why do you keep asking it over and over again?" I was getting slightly annoyed about the fact that he kept questioning my love for him.
"I know, Princess, I know. It's just that," he paused to think about hire to phrase his words. "I font want you to be upset with me after what I did," he nervously mumbled.

I softly kissed his cheek to give him further evidence that I did love him. "I've already forgiven you for that," I stated.

"Yeah," he sighed.
________________

Only two more weeks to go and I'd have a flat belly. I couldn't wait to see my first ever children and neither could Josh.

Ecru  night, I pray for Josh to get better- to heal.
Foot the past few days, he's been a bit moody and stiff about random stuff.
At the moment, I wasn't in the right condition to be getting up every once in a while to get a glass of water, so I ask Josh.

"Josh, babe, could you get me a glad of water?" I politely asked.

He let out a frustrated groan, "For crying out loud, Tessa, can't you get up yourself?" Hr complained while getting his ass of the sofa and lazily walking towards the kitchen.

He returned with a glass of water, that was barfly filled, and slammed it on the table in front of me.
"Happy?" He rudely commented.

I really hated his attitude. Sometimes, he'd be very playful and teasing, whereas, other times, he'd say rude comments about why he lived with me out why I was even living.

It hurt me so bad, but I knew it was only because he was fed up of bring my 'assistant'?

Today, I was at Brooklyn's apartment, having our typical girly conversations. Luke and Josh went out to God knows where; but I was completely fine since I had Brooke.

"So," Brooke started, "have you pecked your baby bag?"

I scoffed, "No, I don't need to yet. I still have two weeks, remember?"

She raised her eyebrows up at me as if I'd said something wrong.
"What?" I confusedly asked.

"You need to pack your bags now." She  instructed.
I let out a groan to indicate that I didn't want to do anything.
"Noooo," I whined.

"I'll get you pizza?" She offered. My body got excited very quickly at the thought of pizza.
I'm pretty sure that over my, almost, nine months of pregnancy, I've gained a lot of fat.

"What do you say?" She waited got my reply.
"Well, duh. Who says no to pizza?" I wriggled my eyebrows as if I knew everything.
"Okay, let's go to your place to get the baby stuff and if you want, we'll come back here." She offered.
"Great," I smiled, agreeing to her offer.

Before we could leave the house, Brooklyn's phone rang.

She pressed the phone to her ear before mouthing "Luke" to me. I noted my had understandingly and waited for their conversation to finish.

A sudden flush of panic shot through my body as Brooke's face paled.

When the phone call finally ends, I open my mouth to speak but was frozen on the spot by two words.

"Josh's dead," her words hoarse. Before I knew it, tears flooded down my  cheeks and I was lying on the ground. My eyes threatening to close, but I didn't care.

I'd just lost the most important person I ever knew.
"No," I whispered to myself.

Before I knew it, everything went blurry and the last thing I heard was Brooke's voice yelling my name.

"Tessa!"

Everything went pitch black.

Hi guys

Hope you liked the twist. Only a few more chapters left and then the book is finally complete. Sorry for the short chapter, but the next one will be longer since things just happened. *wink* *wink*

I was thinking about writing another story after this one. Maybe a 5SOS/ Luke Hemmings fanfic. What do you guys think?
