Save Me from Myself

Chapter 56

Esme's POV

Cali left about a week ago for her undercover job, and I wish that she was here. Layla and Joey are the best, but Cali keeps me sane. If that's even possible. This morning, I woke up with the world's worst stomach ache. Great way to start my day, am I right? However, I've been a real bitch these past few weeks, so I'm trying to work on my positivity. Let's go over all the the positive thoughts that I'm working on.

-My babies are going to live a great life and they'll love their lives. Its bullshit, I know, but hey, miracles happen right?
-We're going to have a perfect family! Nope.
-They're going to like me. Nope. I'm awful with children.
-They're going to be okay with not knowing their dad. I hope so.

And there's so much more. I'm really trying.

"Hey girl, how ya doing today? Not too grumpy?" Joey asked cheerfully.

"I'm trying Jojo. I'm trying." He smiled at me.

"AND LOOK AT YOUR BELLY! MY SOON TO BE SORT OF NEICE AND NEPHEW ARE GETTING BIG!" He yelled enthusiastically.

I shot a glare at him, "Are you meaning to say that I'm getting fat?" I joked.

He laughed at me and nodded, "Yes. That's exactly what I meant."

"HELLOOOO MY LITTLE BABOONS!" Layla screamed from behind us.

"Baboons?" I asked. She nodded, "Baboons!"

"Why are you guys so happy today?? I feel like I'm in an alternate universe." I mumbled.

"Wellllllllllll my lovely pregnant friend, I'm not sure we should tell you." Layla answered playfully. I sighed and glared at her.

"Ooh okay okay Mrs. Grumpy Pregancy Pants! We're happy because...... We're pretty fucking high. " Joey said, giggling.

I raised my eyebrows at them, "Um, come again?"

"High as a kite!" Layla answered.

Joey smirked at that comment and I glared at both of them, "Do you guys need a lecture on why that's not okay, or do I have to start threatening you?"

"Ooh! Lecture! But just so you know... we're kidding." Layla giggled.

"Dude! What the fuck!"

Joey sighed, "Well... we figured you might want to smile a little before we told you the news."

"What's the news?" I asked.

They glanced at each other nervously, and Layla said, "...You have a visitor."

Oh shit.. Probably my mother asking for money again. I walked to the lobby and---

"Esme! Thank god you're all right! Why are you here, what's wrong? I heard the news..." A familiar voice questioned.

"....Mason..." I whispered, stepping back. He... he's here.. why? What does he want?

"Can we talk... alone?" He asked.

I glanced around, "No thanks. I'm comfortable right here, and I would really prefer you not raping me again. " I said, giving him the meanest look I could conjure and holding my stomach.

He looked down, defeated. "Please... let me talk to you..." He whimpered. I nodded slightly and he sighed, "I made a mistake, and I ruined our relationship...---"

"We didn't have a relationship." I interrupted.

He sighed and continued, "But the baby... Our baby... deserves 2 parents."

I wanted to scream. Who the fuck told him. They're going to die a painful death. I tried to gather my thoughts, "Babies. A boy and a girl. And they are going to have 2 parents. 4 actually. Myself, Cali, Joey, and Layla. You're not needed, you can go now." I said. Damn... I sounded much more confident than I felt.

I turned to walk away and he grabbed my arm. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME." I yelled.

He let go, and apologized, "I'm sorry. But I want to be in their lives... they're my children too."

I scoffed, "That's what I thought too at first,but no they're not. You have no right to have contact with them. YOU RAPED ME. They're not your children. They're mine."

I began walking away, and suddenly I fell face down into the floor. I screamed in agony, and turned to see Mason. He had pushed me. I instinctively grabbed my stomach, and I was in so much pain I couldn't move. And I was bleeding.

"CALL 911" Someone screamed. Mason was thrown out of the building and I laid there, unable to speak or move. Then I passed out from the pain.
