What's Done In the Dark

Chapter 32

Excuse any mistakes

Ashley went to her dorm and grabbed a few ibuprofen. She knew that Chris was still after her but she didn't care anymore.

Ashley took a walk to a nearby lake that was much closer to campus than the one Chris took her to. Ashley began to cry and mumble things to herself...

I hate myself. My best friend is lying in the hospital dying and I just lost my other best friend. I got so drunk I had sex with some guy I met at a party and got pregnant by him. I couldn't be a good mother so I killed our child. Now he's trying to kill me for killing our child. Maybe I should be dead, maybe I don't deserve to be here. Darrell should never have come for me that night.... I should have just let Chris kill me. Then to think Darell wants a girl like me.

She laughed to herself.

Ashley put the pills in her mouth, swallowed them, laid down on the grass by the lake and closed her eyes.

2 hours later the ambulance was called for Ashley who was unresponsive to a couple having a picnic by the lake.

Chris followed Ashley to the lake but decided not to do anything because it was broad daylight.

He went to a pizza place nearby and got some pizza. 30min later he seen police officers and the ambulance leaving the scene.

Chris went down to ask the couple what had happened before getting in his car and driving off full of excitement.

Dumb bitch! She wasn't even woman enough to face life head on, instead she killed herself. I'm happy she did though because I didn't even have to get my hands dirty. Now my son or daughter can see how pathetic their mom is. Chris thought to himself.

4pm
"FUCK I have a mean hangover" Ant said scaring Lauren who was in the bathroom.

"Drink the water I left for you on the nightstand" she smiled in the mirror.

Ant did as he was told before getting up and going to brush his teeth.

"I have some bad news babe" Ant said looking at Lauren through the mirror.

"......the baby, it's gone" tears fell down his face.

"What do you mean the baby is gone... what happened"? She turned to wipe his tears.

"She was rushed to the hospital. She had lost a lot of blood and the baby died. She's in critical condition and they're doing everything they can to save her. But my baby Lauren IT'S GONE" he screamed.

She held him close and squeezed him. She felt bad for him but she had to do what she had to do for her relationship.

"Everything will be okay baby. I love you" she whispered in his ear.

"I love you too baby" he held her tighter.

The doctors did everything they could to save Tasha but it just wasn't enough.

At 5am Tasha had died.

Ant's phone rung at 5:10am and he picked up.

"Hello"? Ant said in his sleepy voice.

3min went by and Ant hung up the phone.

"What's wrong babe"? Lauren asked.

"She's gone babe....Tasha is gone" tears fell down his face.

"I'm so sorry baby" she rubbed his back.

Ant got up. Lauren started to get up as well.

"Don't follow me" he said closing the door behind him.

Lauren laid there in deep thought.

I thought this would bring her closer but he doesn't want me to be near him right now. Does he know I killed her and his child? How? He can't know.

Lauren laid there thinking to herself before rolling over and going to sleep.
