I Don't Love You

Sorry for any spelling/grammar issues!

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Ray's POV

I can hear voices. They're soft and whispery and welcoming. I feel like I'm floating around in my head. Weightless. Nothing can stop me now. Am I dead? I knew as soon as the knife penetrated my stomach I didn't want to die. I don't know why. All of a sudden I felt like I had a prurpose. Deep inside, I knew there was some reason I had lived this long. I don't want to be dead.

I can still hear the voices, louder now, and ever welcoming. I want to find those voices. I fought my way through the weightless black state in my mind to the surface. The voices are really loud now. They're hurting my ears. I open my eyes a sliver, only to see blank white space. What is this place? I open my eyes the rest of the way to see that I'm staring at blank white wall. A hospital wall. Which means I'm alive. And then it hit me. I'm alive! "I'm alive" I murmered. "What was that?" a voice directly beside my ear asked. I tried to sit up and turn to face them, but my stomach hurt. They laid a hand on my shoulder and pushed me gently back onto the bed. "Your alright Ray. Just relax." It's Mikey! "Mikey?" I asked him quietly. "Mmhmm?" he responded. "Why haven't you guys just given up on me yet? You all would be better off without me around." "Ray! That is not true!" I heard LynZ say. "Your family Ray." Jamia said. "Families stick together" Alicia whispered. "No matter what" Gee added. I smiled at that. "Thanks guys. I really do want to live now. I want to get better and try to live a normal life." "We're always here" Jamia said.

"Should we...?" I heard Frank whisper. "Right now?" Gee whispered back. "It doesn't look like you're going to have any option. Look" LynZ whispered. "I can hear you know" I informed them. I heard the door to my room open. Footsteps coming closer. The room felt tense.

A figure walked up to the bed to stand in front of me. It was Christa. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I demanded. She looked hurt. Why should I care? She was the one that walked out on me, not the other way around. "Ray.." she sighed. "What do you want?" I snarled at her. "Ray, I know you hate me. Understandably so. But there's a couple things I need to clear up with you. Please just listen for a few minutes." "Fine. You've got five minutes" I told her.

"Ray, I know what I did was wrong. Really really wrong, and I feel horrible about it. It bothers me every day, and its the only thing I can think about. Originally I just wanted you for your money. I told myself that all along. But I left because I was starting to develop feeling for you, and it scared me. I know now that I love you. But I also know that it's too late for that. What I really wanted to tell you, is that I'm so sorry for all of the pain I've caused you and your family. I really didn't mean too. Okay. The big thing. I'm pregnant Ray. I'm pregnant with your baby."

Holy shit. I'm in shock. Christa is pregnant. And I'm the father. Whoah.
