Remembering Our Dance |Shelax|

Chapter 15

Shelby

I was in the car with Liz, Sasha, and Addie when I got out of the hospital.

"Guys, I want to spend time with Max." I groaned.

"We know, we know."

"Then why won't you let me spend time with him?"

"Because we're selfish and want to spend time with you." Addie said.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny. But seriously, I want to spend time with him. How long is this going to be?"

"Only an hour or so." Liz said.

I groaned again. "Come-on! I saw you guys in the hospital already, for a long time. I want to see my boyfriend."

"It will only be an hour. Then you can spend as much time as you want having sex with Max."

"Hey!" I yell playfully. "I'm already pregnant."

"HA." 

"But seriously, where are we going?"

"We are going to my house and we are going to talk." Liz informed me.

"We can talk any time we want to." I argued.

"Yeah, and I want to now. We're almost to our house."

"Ugh. Fine. But only for an hour."

"Yay!"

We turned a few more times until we stopped.

We were at their house.

I stepped out of the car and waited for Liz, Addie, and Sasha to get out of the car so I could get into the house.

"Come on! I thought you wanted to talk." I said as they ran towards the door.

"We do! But there's only so fast a human can run!" Liz put the keys into the slot and opened the door.

"Do you want anything to eat?" Addie asked, walking into the kitchen.

"Sure, you have any chips?"

"Yeah. I'll bring the bag over. You guys start talking." Addie said.

"So, who's the father?"

"Like I said before, I don't know."

"Like I asked before, how?"

"I don't know. I don't want to talk about it. But Liz,"

Addie coughed.

"Alright, you both keep telling me that you'll tell me. Just tell me now."

"Fine. Liz, go ahead."

"I might've lost the baby."

I choked on my spit.

"What?" I asked.

"Yeah. The crash might've caused the baby to die. But it's too early in the pregnancy to tell."

"Oh, Liz. I am so sorry."

"He or she might still be alive. So it's okay."

"Alright. On a higher note, we can all hangout again." I tried to change the conversation to something a little more cheerful.

"I know, right? We can work at the offices again!"

My phone beeped.

It had been an hour.

"This was fun, guys. But I have to go now. Love you guys!"

"Love you too." They all said back to me.

I texted Max. 

Can you pick me up? I am Liz's house.

He responded.

Sure. Movie in our basement?

Absolutely.

And with that, I sat on their front porch and waited for Max.
