Saviour

Chapter 3

'Hi.' Ollie nodded, walking into the room Connie had been moved to.

Connie felt her heart drop, and she looked away from him, blinking back tears. She felt scared of Ollie, but most of all she was angry. Angry at how he treated her, and angry at how he had caused her to lose the baby.

'Hi' She replied, gloomily. Turning her head to watch him sit down in the seat located next to her bed.

'Cheer up Connie.' Ollie smirked, taking his coat off.

'Ollie, I need to tell you something.' Connie said, hesitantly. Whilst sitting up.

'What?' He asked her, sighing impatiently. 'This is only meant to be a quick visit, so hurry up.' He added on the end.

'I was pregnant..... the, the accident caused me to lose it. I only found out yesterday, I didn't even know I was pregnant.' Connie told him sadly, fighting back tears.

'And whose fault is that? You lie there, acting as though butter wouldn't melt. It's all your fault. You misbehave, you get what you deserve.' Ollie said, looking at her with pure hatred and disgust.

'What do you mean?' Connie asked, confused. She thought Ollie would at least feel sad for himself, even if he did blame her. She thought that losing a child might mean something to him. She just didn't understand what was going through his head. She, in that moment, realised that nothing would thaw Ollie's frozen heart. He would always be like this, and she would always be trapped like this, and there was no way out.

'You didn't deserve that baby.' Ollie told her menacingly, before grabbing his coat and storming out.

Connie felt tears fall from her eyes, and didn't even try to wipe them away. She rolled over, away from the door, and buried her head in her pillow, sobbing her heart out.

How dare he say that? But Connie also though that he was right, she knew that being with Ollie had made her weaker, so maybe she didn't deserve the baby. She couldn't protect herself, so how could she protect something that was dependent on being protected by her?

'Is everything okay?' Jacob's voice startled her, but she calmed after she rolled over and realised he was alone.

Her eyes were obviously showing that she had been crying.

'What's the matter?'  Jacob immediately asked, noticing her eyes.

He moved closer to her bed, and took her hand. She looked up into his eyes and know she could trust him, his eyes were filled with kindness. 

Connie felt overcome with burst into tears again.

' Help Me? Jacob, help me, please?'
