Mental Institution

38

  I wake up with a stiff neck. I look at the clock on the wall and see that the time is 7AM. Great, everyone is awake already seen as we are going to be at the airport in less than 4 hours. I get up, clicking my back on the way and go into my room. I notice that Jason has thrown my suitcase into my room and knocked over the picture I had on my night stand. It's a picture of him kissing my baby bump, I let out a tear because I know no one will ever be able to get me that picture again. It was taken on an old fashioned camera and now it's been ripped in half. I shake my head, if only he'd let me explain myself! He'd understand, I know he would. That makes me realise he kicked me in my stomach. Instead of showering I run down the stairs and into the hospital area knowing at least someone would be there. My thoughts are confirmed because as I get there I see Martha just putting on her coat. Probably about to go home. "Morning Ari- Gosh what happened to you?!" Martha panics as she comes closer to me. I look in the mirror and notice Jason defiantly left his mark. My whole face is bruised and I have dried blood running from my nose.
"I-I need a scan!" I say and I explain what happened to Martha. Martha nods and quickly leads me to a room. "Lay down on the bed please sweetheart." Martha instructs. I do as told and lay on the bed. I pull my shirt up to under my boobs and Martha places some cold jel on my stomach.
I stare at the little screen and wait, my heart beating louder and louder as I hear no heartbeat then suddenly I hear it and I break down in relief.
"Miss. You're baby is fine. You're about 2 and a half months along. Congratulations" Martha says as she wipes the jel off. I hug and thank her before leaving the room.
I walk up the stairs wincing as I hold my side. "Momm-Ahhh!" Nyla shouts as she sees me. "Hey baby" I say opening my arms but Nyla starts crying. Jason runs out of his room looking panicked and looks at me. He quickly puts Nyla into his room and shuts the door before looking at me. "What did you do to her?!" Jason yells as he slams me against the wall.
I whimper in pain "N-nothing, I swear. Don't hurt me again please" I beg through tears. I swear I seen Jason's face softened but that changed so soon because he scoffed and let me go. "Get showered. Changed and put on makeup. We need to leave soon and besides you look ugly.. Also, if it wasn't for Nyla you wouldn't be coming on this trip with us." I nod with my head down before running into my room.
I quickly shower and get dressed, putting on as much makeup as I can to cover the marks. Once I'm done I look for my phone only to find it crushed on the floor. Jason crushed my freaking phone! The 6s and the 5c. I hate him so much right now. I quickly pull my heavy suitcase out of my bedroom and towards the stairs with a struggle.
I hear a sigh behind me but don't look back. "Let me help you" I hear Alex say and I nod and hand him my suitcase. Alex pulls it downstairs and I see Lauren at the bottom who gives me a sympathetic smile. I'm guessing she heard mine and Jason's argument or Jason told them and Lauren explained. I smile back softly before there's a knock on the door. Jason walks past us, barging me making my whimper in pain as I hit my lower back on the table. Jason looks back as if seeing if I'm okay then looking forward and opening the door and guess who stood there?! Angel with a fucking suitcase. Jason kisses her lips and I feel a pang of jealousy and hurt.
"Are you fucking crazy?! Ariella's carrying your second child!" Lauren yells. Jason turns around. "You mean the child she aborted?" Jason hisses. "N-" "Just leave it Lauren, he's not going to listen. Come on let's just go to the plane. I'll ride with you guys" I say as I pull mine and Nyla's suitcases behind me walking to the garage. As we reach it I see Jason buckling Nyla into Alex's car. I go to climb in when he grabs my hair and forces me into his car, Angel sitting in the front. "What the fuck?!" I hiss glaring at Jason. "Watch that mouth of yours Ariella. Do you want a repeat of last night?" Jason chuckles darkly as if what he said is amusing. I shake my head looking down and we start moving. Well, I'm not excited one bit for this hour car ride.
We've been driving for about twenty five minutes and we had to pull over in a gas station because Lauren desperately needed a pee, obviously all of us had to stop. We pull up next to Alex's car and I see Nyla soundly sleeping in the back of the car. I smile at her and go to get out. The door won't open. Damn. "Let me out" I order as Jason pulls away from kissing Angel. "No are you damn stupid? You're not going anywhere near my daughter!" Jason hisses. I hate him so fucking much. "Put earphones in, listen to music and shut the fuck up" Angel orders in her whiny bitch voice. "Don't tell me what to do slut" I whisper in utter anger. Angel turns around and slaps me and I swear I seen Jason grip the steering wheel but probably not. "Oh, I forgot. Jason crushed your phone after you got rid of his kid" Angel chuckles and so does Jason.
I look down and let a lone tear fall. The we start moving... I swear this is going to be the worst holiday ever.
We finally get to Jason's little airport and I see the jet up ahead. I wait patiently as Jason opens the car door. I quickly get out and watch as he throws my suitcase to the floor. I bend to pick it up when I'm forcefully pushed making me quickly protect my stomach but obviously that meant the back of my skull smashing against the floor. "Oops. Sorry" Angel says in a mocking tone. I quickly get up and all my vision is blurry and dark. I feel a liquid running down my neck, but it can't be blood. That only happens in movies. I walk to the jet, ignoring the stinging in my head and the blurriness of my eyesight and get on the plane. Lauren and Alex take Nyla into the only bedroom here so they can all sleep comfortably and Angel and Jason take the pull out couch bed, leaving me with the floor. I sigh as I lay down pulling my jumper around me tighter and I let darkness consume me. Thinking it was only sleep... Boy, was I wrong.
Jason's Pov.
"Oops. Sorry" Angel says in a mocking tone as she just accidentally knocking Ariella to the floor. Ariella doesn't say anything but just stands up. She looks dazed and I want nothing more than to just hug her but I'm so pissed right now at her. I seriously don't think I could ever forgive her for aborting my baby. I got told she didn't do it yet but how can I believe that? Especially is she was thinking about it.
We all load the plane and my brother takes his girlfriend and my daughter into the room. I took the pull out couch bed expecting Ariella to come and join me but she didn't Angel did. I look across the room to see Ariella laying on the floor, sleeping and shivering. I wanted to go over there, hold her, warm her up but I couldn't. I was mad at her but I want her to know I love her. I hope she knows I still love her. I'll forgive you soon baby.
