Small Bump - Ed Sheeran

**********

We laid together in the uncomfortable hospital bed embracing each other's presence.

Suddenly she speaks, "You know what's funny?"

"Hm?"

Her eyes are fixed to the window that is opposite of me. She huffs, "We're only seniors. We haven't even graduated yet and we've been through so much this year."

"Thinking back, I would've never expected any of this to happen. We're just kids, Dave. And here I am in a hospital because of my dead baby."

"Aria-"

"Where has the time gone? What am I doing with my life? No college is going to want an 18 year old girl who had a baby but killed it because she was being stupid-"

"I already told you it's not your fault, Aria."

She scoffs and sits up, "Ok but then what? After we graduate then what will happen?"

I stare at her waiting for her to answer her own question, because honestly I don't know either.

I sigh.

"I'm so fucked up, Dave. I'm sorry for bringing you into my life. I made everything worse for you." She tears up.

I shake my head, "I brought myself into your life and I don't regret anything."

"Why don't you?" She asks. "If I were you I would've left a long time ago."

"That's called being a dick. And I'm not one of those." I promise.

She smiles crookedly.

I smile back, "Now how about some food?"

"I'd love some." She giggles trying to get up.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Getting up?" She responds.

I shake my head, "Nope. You're staying here. You can't go out yet, your unstable."

She raises her eyebrows, "I am very stable."

I laugh, "Just sit down. I'll get you something alright?"

"Fine." She rolls her eyes.

As soon as I open the door to leave, someone stands in front of me. Tyler.

"Tyler?" Aria says.

He gulps, "Uh- I heard something happened? Car accident? What happened?"

I glance at Aria then back at Tyler.

"The car accident was pretty bad and it's caused um..." I trail off.

"What happened?!-" He shouts.

"The baby." I say. "The-The baby is gone. Your baby is gone Tyler. I'm sorry."
