When Abel suddenly comes back into Carolina's life, after years of being gone, he is shocked to see how much she's moved on with her life. Abel wants her back but things aren't as easy as they were before he left. Carolina's changed, she doesn't cra...

"Don't be scared." Abel reassures me as he grips my hand, the other one placed firmly on the steering wheel.
I nod and keep my eyes focused on the road, everything is so dark and gloomy. The only light being produced from the headlights of cars around us and the steet lamps that are arranged scarcely on the street.
"It'll be ok." Abel says. He's repeated that same statement about five times in the past ten minutes.
Honestly I know something's wrong, I just don't know how to react. I've obviously did something wrong but I just can't figure out what.
We drive for about twenty minutes before Abel pulls up in the emergency unit of the hospital. We step out of the car in silence and Abel instantly holds my hand once we start walking beside each other.
I wince as we walk and there's a man with a massive bloody gash on his head. He is holding his daughter in his arms and their both crying. I look away once I spot that she has a similar wound on her chest.
A lump forms in my throat as Abel and I walk toward the desk. Abel tells the woman all my information and tells her the same thing I told him thirty minues ago. She gives me a light smile and tells me to sit. We find two seats next to each other and sit there waiting for almost and hour before a nurse comes out and calls for me.
We follow her into the hospital and she leads us toward the materntity ward. "Ok, Carolina could you lay on the bed and lift your shirt up." she instructs me.
I do as I'm told and lift my Pink jumper up once I'm on the cold bed. She prepares al her ultrasound equipment as Abel stands at my feet looking very worn out.
The nurse, called Dina rubs gell over my bump and then pulls out the wand like probe and starts to run it along my belly. An image apears on the screen, the baby doesn't move, they just stay still.
I keep my ears perched for the heartbeat that I should've already started hearing. I blind tears away from my eyes as she looks in confusion at the screen.
"Let me just try and find a heartbeat." She clears her throat.
A small tear rolls down my cheek as she continues to try a heartbeat as the baby lays still. I've lost them. I've lost my baby.
"Can you just hold on for a moment. Let me just call a doctor." She tells me before walking briskly out the door.
As soon as the door closes a sob rakes through me. I've lost my baby.
"Lina, baby." Abel walks next to me and wraps his arms around me, "It'll be ok." He wipes the tear off my cheeks.
I can't help but feel angry at everything. Aubrey, Abel, myself, everyone. And Abel is here lying to me when I've fucked up so much. Nothings going to be ok. I've lost my child. My own flesh and blood and I don't even know why.
