Locked OOH; The Lost Volume

~Heaven~ 28 {continued}

"Can we try again?" I asked bravely. Bruno chuckles lightly in surprise. He looks at me with a grin  "of course, but later, our friends are waiting downstairs"

"Ok..." I get up and make my way to the drawer for a shirt. Bruno waits for me and I give him a warm smile. "I'm coming, go" I spoke softly.

"I love you" Bruno added and walked out the room door shutting them behind his self.

"I love you more..."

*******

"Gia do you know?" I blurted in front of everyone. Bruno went to the store the get syrup and orange juice. "Yes" Gia said and I sucked my teeth "really Phil?!" I exclaimed.

"She's my girl....I can't not tell her"

"Know what?" July asked

"Nothing" I responded letting go of the situation, but once again I couldn't help what came to thought "At least you feel better than me, someone who got fucked up by a guy she—"

"Rosa!" Gia shouted and threw my hand up "I mean you know so does it really matter anymore?". Perfect timing, Bruno's presence enters the dinning room and everyone goes silent. I get up and kiss his cheek grabbing the bags from his hand. "What's wrong?" He asked me but I ignored him going straight to the island sorting out the food. Gia gets up from the table and walks over to me in the kitchen passing Bruno like he wasn't there.

"What?" It came off audaciously, daring her to pick a fight with me. I'd wish for her to step up to me with anything devilish. Anger filled my eyes but Gia stepped down and she just nodded. "I see why you're angry" she spoke. I smack my teeth looking over to her "doesn't matter"

"Are you expecting?" Gia asked calmly.

"What?"

Gia glanced over to the bag I was sorting through, it was a pregnancy test. I almost cried, not because she found out or that having babies aren't  the best thing in the world—they are the most beautiful blessings. It's just the crunching heart aching and disgusted feeling in your chest that you have to bring a child in the world with an insane parent. Honestly, I don't know if Bruno would take on another man's child and I wouldn't want him to. The what if would be me leaving, once again because I...

My head started to spin while feeling a overwhelming nauseousness in my stomach. Jetting to the bathroom, I push back my hair and let out the fluids of my stomach. Gia came behind me and knelt rubbing my back "I'm sorry"

"It's ok, just get Bruno please..."

Gia stood up just looking at me and I could tell it was in sorrow. It was always me getting the pitied look and it sucked. "Please Gia".

"Ok..." she nods walking out the bathroom. Not long after Bruno appears and comes behind me with a scrunchy pinning my hair up in a bun. "I'm scared..."

"I know" he replies helping me up of the floor, he turns on the warm water and pumps soap on my hands. Flushing the toilet of my insides, I kept my head down while cleansing my arms and hands. I wash my face off as I cried out of fear, anger, guilt...out of everything. The only thing he could do is watch... with pity. I dry off with one of the throw towel in the bathroom, afterwards I went straight towards Bruno wrapping my arms around his torso. "I know" he mumbled rubbing my back while holding a grip around me. "I'm in this with you Rosa, even if it isn't mine. I—"
