Dirty Laundry

Chapter 1 - You Should Leave ... NOW

All I can hear is the heart monitor beeping. I guess I am alive but I feel weak. My eyes are heavy and everything in my body aches. My throat is dry and I can't even say a word. I try to open my eyes and I see my best friend Tati on the couch sound asleep on the couch not aware I have awoken. I wonder how long I have been sleeping, seems like a couple of hours. I smiled at her because she is the bestest friend any girl could ask for but I haven't been all honest with her. No Tati doesn't know about what Randy does to me every other night or sometimes every night when he has had a long day at work.

I let out a dry as cough that woke up Tati. She came running to my bed and was in tears.  

"Oh Eve girl you had us scared for a second. Hol' up let me go get the doctor". She left the room and returned with a god. Jesus was he gorgeous. He had the prettiest eyes I've seen maybe not as great as my eyes but damn he was close. His natural tanned skin was so soft enough to touch and his smile just put the icing on my cake. He smiled at me then his face drop to a frown then to a confused face ... Okay that’s weird why all those faces in a couple of seconds..

"Hello Miss...." he picked up my chart that was in front of my bed. 

"Carter. Yes Miss. Carter I am Dr. Wilson it’s nice to see you awake. We almost lost you there he said as he flip through the files. But I have a couple of questions for you to answer." 

"Did you know that you were pregnant" he said with an expression that I couldn't read.

"What do you mean were pregnant" Tati chimed in. 

I raised my hand to stop her cause I know she was gonna ask questions.

"Yes I knew I was pregnant and so what happened".

"Well I am sorry to let you know but you had a miscarriage” he said with such sadness. 

Honestly after that I didn't hear anything he said. I felt numb; Randy literally just killed my baby. I was hurt and I couldn’t believe it. I felt like that was my motive to leave and to leave him for good. I can't continue to live in fear of him. I deserve to be happy and actually be loved by someone who cares.

I don’t even remember the last time I was truly happy. Where I came home and I had a nice warm meal, or had flowers delivered to my job, or was actually made love for the night. Shit this baby was conceived through fucking rape. Randy rapes me all night and then has the nerve to tell me I'm cheating. NO I have never cheated on Randy not  once since I've been with him; he on the other had constantly cheated on me with his best friend's sister but I have a feeling that she is pregnant. She tried to be all buddy buddy with me but I shut that shit down ASAP and that probably gave her more of a reason to do what she did. Well I don't care anymore he could go be with her, shit they can have a happy family for NOW that is.

"Well since you have been asleep for a week now Miss. Carter, I am sure that you would want to eat and get some more rest" he said as he put down my medical chart back.

I whispered "a week .. Not AGAIN"

"Miss. Carter what do you mean again" his face looked troubled and angry but I didn't know why"

"Yes I had fell down the stairs a couple months back and I was in a medical coma for 2 weeks and yeah  ..." I couldn't even finish because he went from a nice tanned hottie to a blazing red tomato. He was mad but I don't know, why he cares... I am confused and my head is pounding.

He gave me this weird look that my mom would give before she was about to ask me a question saying "you better not lie". "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope"

"woah since when Eve" Tati said looking more surprise then I was.

"Well um a  ..."
