Zeynep

"Savannah you have to eat." I sighed. Just like every other day this week she'd wake up and stare out this window until she got a call she would leave and come back and lock herself right back in here. Her eyes held the scariest and most depressed look. Something was seriously wrong with her way beyond just a break up and Zeynep couldn't put her finger on it.

"He said he didn't want kids Zeynep." She uttered.

I sighed walking over to her and rubbing her shoulder and she flinched removing my hand from her shoulder. "Baby it's some things in life you gotta let go. Landon being one them. You know what you did was a mistake, he knows, we all know. That doesn't make it easy to accept and he's not obligated to be okay with it. The whole point is to grow Sav. Not shrivel up and be this depressed person letting life fly by."

She nodded wiping a few tears from her face.

"So you wanna go out or something?" I suggested.

"I wanna go out alone." She mumbled. I was quite offended being that I hadn't really gotten to spend time with her but I decided not to take it to heart and just be grateful she was wasn't sitting in here being suicidal.

"Okay... Well I'm gonna go nap. By back is killing." I said rubbing small circles on my stomach as I entered my bedroom.

I laid on my bed pulling out my phone to call Chris since I hadn't spoke to him. I heard the front door close so I assumed that Savannah had gotten herself a uber and left.

"Hello?"

"Baby can you come over? My back hurts and I miss you."

"Gimmie like a good hour I'm in the studio okay?"

"Okay." I sighed.

"Aight love you."

"Love you too."

I got out of bed and wobbled out to the living room. I peaked out the window and seen that Savannah was still outside having conversation with some guy I was pretty sure I'd seen before. But in the condition he was in and me not having my glasses on, it was all a blur.

If I could be quite honest, he didn't look like good company to keep. He looked quite raggedy and run down and he was obviously high on drugs. Savannah and him sat around talking and I decided to not even invade their privacy. At least she was talking.

I began to pace the house with my hand on my lower back and my other caressing my stomach taking deep breaths. I was ready for my baby boy to get here right now but I still had a month left to go.

As I continued taking deep breaths the pain from my back traveled to my stomach and became almost unbearable. Being someone with a high tolerance for pain I did my best to just continue walking it off.

"Ahh." I groaned putting more pressure on my stomach. "Shit." I hissed.

I wobbled into the kitchen leaning over on the counter. "Baby boy please stop." I groaned feeling tears well up in my eyes.

I closed my eyes to try to focus on anything but the pain but shot them open just as fast as I closed them feeling liquid dripping down my leg.

"Oh shit." I panicked. "Oh shit oh shit. Okay." I walked to the front door swinging it opened to look for Savannah. She wasn't where I'd last seen her but I heard her voice.

"Savannah!" I yelled. "Savannah he's coming!"

I got no response from her so I rushed back into the house grabbing my cell to call Chris.
