Who You Are

Chapter 25: Failed

I gasped and I sat up immediately. 

I look down and see that I'm in a hospital gown and I have about five tubes in both my left and right arm. I look up and see Dontae sitting in a chair with his head down.

" T-tae" I struggled to get his name out

He mumbled, and his remained down.

" Huh?" I slightly whispered.

" You tried to kill your baby Justine. The fuck is wrong with you?"he shouted

" Tae, you don't understand" I managed to get out. His yell made me shake a little

" You're right, I don't. I went to your house with McDonalds and I didn't see you. I started looking for you and I go into the bathroom, and what do I see?" He looked up at me with his red and puffy eyes, I felt bad. I lowered my head and I frowned.

" Justine, maybe you don't understand what the fuck just happened. You was unconscious. Your baby, almost died. Justine-" he stopped

" Why did you save me Tae?" I asked. There was a pause as if he was processing what I just asked him

" Why did I save you?" He stood up " Are you fucking serious right now?" He glared at me before storming out.

I looked up at the ceiling and fought the urge to cry.

I spent almost three hours without anyone in the room. Doctors came and checked on me finally, but they only came to make sure I took my pills. I'm extremely exhausted but I can't sleep

Tae came back and apologized for yelling, but I ignored him. I need to get out this hospital. They'll keep me in here for two more days then, I'll be out.

Minutes turned into hours and those hours slowly turned into a day. 48 hours went by very slow, this only made me more anxious.

" All set Ms. Wells?" The doctor asked as he helped me into my dad's car

I nodded my head and grabbed my seatbelt. Before we left the doctor talked to my dad about not leaving me alone and my medication.

He drove me home, it was quiet. I kept his head straight. He's upset. Highly upset. I just added more problems to his list.

How stupid could I be

As I daydream, a sharp pain came across both, my stomach and chest. I hovered over and held my stomach. As soon as I get home I'm gonna take those pills.

We finally got home after 30 minutes on the road. My dad passed me the plastic bag with my medicine inside. He pressed down the unlock bottom and didn't dare look over at me.

I got out the car and walked to the front door. Before I could touch the knob. The door swung open. Tae stood there with a grin.

" What are you doing here?" I asked

" Your dad told me to stay with you and make sure you're okay" I rolled my eyes and pushed past him to go into the house.

I heard the door close behind me as I walked. As soon as I reached the steps he stopped me

" Not so fast Justine" I sigh and turned around
