True Love - Jelena

22.

Justin

I looked at the clock to it being 2:13 a.m. I sighed, it has been 5 hours since I'd heard anything about Selena from the doctors. I passed my time sleeping and eating vending machine snacks.

While eating a bag of chips I open my phone not wanting to go on any social media. Instead, I opened my camera roll and scrolled through pictures. Some making me smile and some making me sad. But one particular photo hit me. It was of me and Selena when had first started dating. (Pic on the side)

I put my chips to the side and look at the picture as if I had never seen it before. I just couldn't stop staring at Selena. I closed out the photos and turned off my phone.

I slouch in my seat and looked at other people passing by me. I put the hoodie over my head wanting to take another nap.

I felt a tap on my shoulder which made me jump. I pulled my hoodie down and see a doctor standing in front of me.

"Are you Selena's boyfriend?"

"Yes, that's me."

"Justin?"

"yeah, I'm Justin.

"Well, Justin I have some news about Selena." He said sitting down next to me.

"Is she okay?"

He took a slight pause before answering.

"Is she dead?!"

"No son, she's fine."

"Then why won't you tell me what's wrong?"

"Selena has 2 broken ribs. It's as if she was hurt by only one side."

"Which side was that?"

"Where the-"he took a pause looking at me, "Where the baby had been."

"Is the baby okay?"

"The baby did not make it." 

The words that I never thought to hear. The words that no expecting parents should ever hear. The world had stopped. The words hit me hard. I looked away from the doctor. I couldn't believe what I had just heard.

"The baby is dead?" I whispered.

"I'm very sorry Justin."

I needed to see Selena. I needed to see her.

"Can I see Selena, please?"

"She's resting at the mom-"

I cut him off.

"Please doctor I need to see her."

"Justin she needs rest."

I stood up from the chair getting angry.

"I HAVE JUST LOST MY FUCKING CHILD! WHY CAN'T I SEE MY FUCKING GIRLFRIEND?"

The doctor sighed before finally giving in.

"Room 122."

I ran for my life after hearing the room number. I counted down the rooms as I passed by them.

"119"

"120"

"121"

"122!"

As I touched the doorknob I froze. I calmed myself down before slowly opening the door. Straight away I see Selena hooked up to machines. Her whole abdomen was wrapped. I sat in the chair closest to the door. I couldn't talk. I don't know what to say. Selena was fast asleep and a part of me wanted to wake her up but another told me not to.

I sat there doing nothing but looking at her stomach. My child had been killed. My girlfriend had been brutally beaten by someone.

A light knock made me snap out of my thoughts and look at the door, In came a nurse.

"You must be Justin," she said shaking my hand.

I nodded to her not wanting to speak.

"I just came in to check up on Selena," she said walking over to Selena.

I didn't say anything but look at Selena. While the nurse check on the medications that were connected to her Selena's eyes slowly opened. My heart skipped a beat when I saw her eyes open.

"Selena, I'm happy to see that you're awake," the nurse said.

Selena looked around confused until she saw me. She tried to sit up but she groaned in pain.

"Selena, please take it easy honey," the nurse said helping her lay down again.

"J-Justin?"

I got up from the chair going to her side.

"Yes. Sel?"

"If my fucking ribs weren't broken I would have given you the biggest hug right now," she said looking at her fingers.

I carefully hovered over her body giving her the tightest hug I could possibly give, trying not to hurt her side.

She groaned a little bit but wrapped a hand over my back.

"Well, I'll be back later to check up on you later Selena," the nurse said leaving.

"I'm so sorry Sel," I said whispering in her ear.

"It wasn't your fault. Don't think it was." She said.

I close my eyes trying to stop the tears.

"We lost our baby because of an asshole who almost killed you. I should have been there with you, none of this would have happened."

"Then you would have been the one in this bed." She said.

"I rather me than you," I said pulling away from our embrace.

She stayed quiet not looking at me.

"It was Kian."

"What?"
