Tongue Tied

Chapter 2

"Excuse me , you mean to tell me you're pregnant with my brothers child?" I say starting to get pissed off

"Yes. That is what I said. Look Riley, I mean no harm" She says starting to cry

"Great. I can't believe Seth is having a kid and the fact that he's in a coma makes it better. Doesn't it?" I say in furry starting to yell

"Please Riley" Lily says crying out

"Talk to my mom because its obviously not my problem" I say exiting the door

"Riley wait" Lily says grabbing my arm before I could have leave the door but able to open it

"Don't fucking touch me!" I yell pushing her to the ground

As I look at her on the ground I hear a nurse come up from behind me and ask if everything was alright. Then I see the nurse run up to Lily and help her up.

"Riley?" I hear a voice from behind say

"Mom?" I say in confusion

"Honey, did you just push her" She says running towards Lily

"Its fine" Lily says getting helped up from the nurse and my mom

"No. its not you're pregnant" My mom says holding her stomach

Wait how the hell does she know.

"How did you know?" I say looking at my mom

"Because she told me. And you just knocked her down. Riley what the hell is wrong with you?" My mom says giving me a death stare

"Whatever" I say leaving the room

I run down the hall and can't help but cry. I just pushed the women whose carrying my niece or nephew. How horrible could I get? I didn't even apologize

As I stand outside I see Gabe walking into the door. I try my best for him not to see me or at least me crying.

"Hey... Are you ok?" He says from a smile to a frown

"Totally how about you" I lie

"I'm fine. Why are you crying?" He say holding my arm

The feel of his hand on my arm is making me crazy. His touch is gentle yet enough to feel safe. And its making me go crazy. He's like a god.

"Just still getting use to my brother like this" I say looking up at his green eyes that swallow you

"It gets better trust me" He says starting to whip my tears but I back away. "Sorry, habit" he says backing up

I shouldn't have done that. I already miss his touch and the feel of his hand on my arm. I just want him to get closer. I feel the urge for him to hold me. With the warmth of his whole body.

"No , I'm sorry" I say looking up at him with a smile

"Well hey do you think I can make you feel better by some coffee?" He says pointing to the Coffee shop next door from the hospital.

"That actually sounds great" I say walking with him to the coffee shop

As we sit here with our hot chocolate milks. We talk and talk.

"So if its ok with you , what happened to your brother" I say playing with the toothpick on the table

"Well he was at a party , drinking, smoking, and doing god knows what. But he got behind the wheel with his best friend and they got in a brutal crash. His friend never made it and , Greg, my brother got himself in a coma." He says while looking out the window next to our table
