I think I fell in love with my teacher! (Watty Awards 2013)

Chapter 33

Bryan's Pov.

She just layed there on the floor.  So pale that I thought she could have been...been...

I jumped up off the bed and ran towards her.

"Tina?  Tina?  Baby wake up.  Are you okay?  Can you hear me?  Tina!" I yelled.

She still wasn't moving.  But she was breathing thank god.  I grabbed her and tried to pick her up and put her on the bed, but something caught my attention.  She was wet.  When I look at her pants, they were soaked soaked in a clear substance and blood. Oh shit!  Did her water break?

*****************************************************************************************

I sat in the waiting room of the hospital waiting for the doctor.  This was all my fault.  I did this to her.  All this stress, the baby, everything.  I got up and began pacing.  I couldn't sit, I had to see her.  Just then the doctor came out.

"Hi I'm here for Tina Daniels" I said.

The doctor looked at me and knodded his head yes.

"Tina's water broke." the doctor said.

I just stood there with a blank emotion.  Her water broke?  How?  It's too soon.

"How can that be?  She's only been pregnant for 6 months?"

"I know. S he has been through alot of stress and that is normal for teenage mothers, but her level has made it hard on the baby.  The organs of the baby have been working hard to keep anything from happening, but it they couldn't.  The stress caused the water to break and the baby to be born."

"Wait, you said the baby was born." I asked.

"Yes.  A beautiful baby girl."

"A girl." I said in almost a whisper.

I was in so much shock.  This was too much to take in in one day.  Not even a day, a couple of hours.  The joy that came over me all of a sudden was hit by sadness.  What happened to the baby?

The doctor said I was able to see Tina, so I went to her hospital room.  I rubbed my eyes and wiped my face before entering.  I didn't want her to see me like this.  I walked in and she was laying in the bed sleeping.  Her color had came back, but she still looked a little weak.  I grabbed a chair and sat next to the bed, looking at her. 

"Hey babe.  It's me." I said to her.

She didn't wake up, but I continued to talk.

"I'm so sorry for all of this.  This is all my fault." I said wiping my face. "I wish I could be laying in that bed instead of you Tina.  I would do anything for you."

I touched her face and rubbed my finger on her soft cheek.  God she was so beautiful.  Tina never talks about her looks, but she really was pretty.  Her long red wavy hair.  Her peach colored skin that was so soft . And it wasn't just her looks that made her a beautiful person, but her personality too.  So fun and...and...full of life.

I kept rubbing her cheek and tears fell from my eyes.  I loved her so much, it was too hard to acknowledge the fact of her going through this, and by herself too.  I feel like such an asswhole!!!  As I was cursing myself out in my head, Tina moved.  Her head and body shifted towards me. 

"Tina?" I said.

"mmm...I love you too Bryan." she said.

"What?" I asked.

She chuckled without opening her eyes yet. "You really weren't talking to yourself. I can still hear you babe."

"Oh." I laughed. "How are you?"
