I unlocked the door to Joes apartment and walked through to the living room.
"Oh, hey Em. What are you doing here?" i ask as i walk over to Emily who's laying on the sofa looking half dead.
"Yeah i am. Why you here?" she mumbles
"Huh? I'm filming with Joe soon but hes at a meeting."
"Yeah i know." she groans
"Are you okay, Em?"
"M'fine, just not well?" she says but it came out more of a question "guess just having alcohol withdrawal symptoms." she forced laughed.
"Oh, okay. Well me and the boys are going to the club so you could come join"
"NO. i mean um- no thanks"
"Why? You never pass an opportunity to go to the club."
"Err because im pregnant" she says matter of factly
"What?!"
"Wait what?" Em asks clearly realising what she said.
"You're pregnant?"
"Yes" she sighs "And before you ask, it is Adams." Em flinches at the thought of his name. Emily and Adam dated for about a year. Only 3 months into their relationship i found out Adam was abusing her but she still stayed with him.
"Oh, well-" I start but she rolls around on the sofa, clearly in pain which grabs my attention "are you okay" i ask but its a stupid question, we all the answer to it.
"No my stomach. Its just the baby though nothing else" she changes her position again, the corner of her jumper lifts up slightly and some of her hip is bruised. I lift the jumper up her stomach, the lower right side of it is covered in bruises.
"Who- who done this?"
"Adam. When i told him i was pregnant he punched me and left. Thats why i'm now living at Joes." She says quietly. I walk into the kitchen and made a phone call and got Em some water and tablets
"Here" i say as i hand her some pain relief and a glass of water. We sit on the sofa for a few minutes, me occasionally pulling Em into a hug.
"Come on" i say getting up off the sofa and pulling Emily with me
"Where are we going" She whines as i hand her her shoes and she puts them on
"The doctors to-"
"No no no." she cuts me off "Im not going there im fine honestly" she tries to hide her pain through a smile. Even me, not being one of her closest friends, can see shes broken. Her smile doesn't cover up what it used to.
"Its just to get the baby checked out, okay?"
"No point, couldn't care less if it died. I mean im carrying it round for 9 months but once its born Adams getting the custody."
"Well, please come to get you checked out? I don't like seeing you in pain, it breaks my heart."
"Fine" she sighs
"Also, an abuser who's in jail cannot have custody over this child."
"He's not in jail" she says blankly
"Oh but he is, i called the police. They said they've had a few cases of abusive by him and he was put in jail for 10 years. Adam will not and can not hurt you or the baby."
