17. Habits of Affair

Chapter 17

I woke up with my phone ringing, it was a blocked number but I knew it was Noah, "Hey?"

"Yesterday, it was Ethan who sent me that text right?"

I held in a sigh, "Yeah, I guess I wasn't paying attention to him so he grabbed my phone from me and threatened you."

"So he does control your life?"

"He tries to," I took a breath, "why are you calling from a blocked number?"

"Just in case Ethan decides to go through your call log."

"You're scared of Ethan?"

"You don't know what he's capable of that's why you need to end things before you're in too deep, I saw your nose before you left, he's abusive."

"It's not his fault it's his temper he gets really jealous and I should be more careful what I say around him." I made excuses for him.

"He's abusive Abigail, he thinks he can control you like your his play thing."

"I guess nice guys just aren't my type." I joked.

"Bye Abby."

"Wait no I'll break up with him... I'm still in love with you." I admitted.

He chuckled, "I know and by the way happy birthday baby I'll see you at the hospital later."

I hung up and called Ethan, "Hello?" he answer.

"Hello."

"My love thank god you called I thought you hated me when you left yesterday."

"Can you come over?"

"Funny story I'm at you front door now."

I walk down stairs and open the door., "Ethan... we need to break up."

"Wait what?" he said with an angry look appearing on his face.

I bit my lip, "I'm sorry we work better as friends."

He crossed his arms, "Friends my ass this is because of Noah huh?"

I shook my head, "N-no it's not really."

"He's gonna get what's coming to him soon." he said turning around but I grabbed his arm,

"Don't hurt him." I begged but he shoved me off of him and I hit against my door, I fell but my head flew back with a lot of force and it was the first thing that hit the door I slowly loose consciousness.

When I gain consciousness the first person I saw was Noah I was so confused, "Hey Abby you're awake."

"Why are you here? Where am I? Is this the hospital? where's Ethan?"

"I'm right here my love."

I smiled and turned my head to the other side, "Hey babe what happened?"

The doctor walked in, "Great you're awake, can you answer a few questions?" I nodded. "Full name?"

"Ab-Abigail... Martha,"_ I had to think a bit, "Darson, yeah Abigail Martha Darson."

He wrote on the paper on his clip board then asked another question "What weekday is it?"

"Saturday." I answered.

"Okay what I thought you have slight memory loss, this is a common effect of a mild concussion, you came into the hospital on Sunday, you lost about a day. Today is Monday you've been out for a day, we don't know exactly what happened, your boyfriend said he found you unconscious at your door step, what is the last thing you remember maybe we can jog your memory."

"Okay uh, I remember Ethan inviting me over, I skated to his house, I knocked on the door, Noah answered the door he was with Megan and now I'm here."

The doctor turned to Noah, "Noah can you tell us what happened next?"

He nodded, "I noticed a bruise on her face and asked her what happened, she said nothing, I said it doesn't look like nothing, then she said she didn't have time for me and she went inside and straight to Ethan's room."

"Do you remember that Mrs. Darson?"

"No."

"Ethan can you tell us what happened next."

"We just talked and hung out like usual, nothing specific." Ethan lied but I couldn't tell.

"Thank you boys I'm gonna speak to Mrs. Darson alone." They nodded and left, "Mrs. Darson are you being abused at home?"

I glared at the doctor, "No of course not, I live in a loving home."

"Well, I noticed the bruise on your face as well and your nose is broken, I don't think you just fell and bumped your head someone had to have pushed you. You remember how you got the bruise in your face right?"

"Well yah I ran into a pole," I lied it was the only thing I could think of.

He sighed, "Well your fine enough to be discharged, be careful in the future."

I nodded.

When I got home Noah was at my door step, my step mom who drove me home went inside, "why are you here? why were you even in the hospital? you haven't talked to me for two weeks other than when you answered the door."

"Abigail more happened yesterday then Ethan told, he hit you again, and I'm sure he's why you spent your birthday in the hospital."

I rolled my eyes, "What? Ethan would never hit me, maybe I ran into another pole."

"Abigail you admitted to me he hit you the first time, when you were at my house I heard him yelling at you, I couldn't make out what he was exactly saying but he was yelling then it got quiet all of the sudden and I saw him leave the room and walk back with a napkin and an ice pack."

"Noah just let it go... maybe he did hit me but he had to have had a reason and I'm sure he didn't put me in the hospital."

"You told me you were gonna break up with him he must of gotten mad and pushed you."

"Noah..."

"Look at our texts in your phone."

I pulled out my phone but I didn't see any texts from Noah, "There are none."

"He must of deleted them." He took out his phone, "Look I still have them,"

I read them and it actually jogged my memory, "bye Noah I'm staying with Ethan." I walked into my house locked the door and went to my room to cry I couldn't break up with Ethan he would end up putting Noah in the hospital
