You promised me

53.

Elijah POV

Everything was going slow. I saw them rushing her into the room and about four doctors running behind her. I wanted to run with them but my legs wouldn't move. More or less my body was in shock. Renzo looked at me waiting for me to do something. But I couldn't.

All I could do is slide down the wall and to the ground. Putting my knees up to my face and just cry. I don't usually cry but at this moment I couldn't do anything... nothing.

After what felt like hours but it was only minutes the head doctor came out. His face told me everything. "I'm sorry we tried but she miscarried. She's stable right now so if you wan to go see her you can". The doctor quietly walked away. Leaving me there to soak in what he just said.

I was scared to walk in that room. Not knowing if the doctor told her what happened. Opening the door and peeking inside I see her. My emotions was all over the place. She turned to me "hey". Giving her a small smile I walked in. Holding her hand tight in mine and not wanting to let go.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

She shrugged "not so bad. Could be better". I nodded and kissed her hand. "I'm sorry I gave in to Alexis. But when she said that about my mom I lost it".

"Shhh... it's okay. That's not important at the moment. As long as you're okay... that's all I care about". She stared at me for a while before asking "is something wrong?".

She doesn't know.

"Umm... no why? I'm just happy you're okay. That's all". It wasn't a lie but it wasn't the truth.

She smiled "you're so sweet you know that". I nodded "what can I say... I try".

Just then the doctor came inside. "How are we feeling Jaelynn?".

"I guess fine, why?" She asked.

The doctor looked at me and I stared at him before he broke the news to her.

"Well Jaelynn I'm sorry to tell you this. But you miscarried". Jaelynn looked at him as her facial expression went from content to sadness in a matter of seconds.

"Miscarried?" She asked.

The doctor nodded "I'm so sorry. But I want you to stay overnight just to make sure nothing else is wrong".

Jaelynn nodded. She didn't look at me nor the doctor. "Well I'm sorry again" he said before walking out the room.

It was quiet. Nothing was said. She didn't look at me.  I wanted to hold her tight so bad.

"Jaelynn?. Look at me" my voice was cracking. I was trying to hold myself together.

She turned to me but I already saw the tears in her eyes. She was trying not to cry. "Baby, I'm sorry this happened".

"Can't believe it. She came there purposely to hurt me. And she found a way to do it" she said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused.

"Alexis... she knew she couldn't hurt me. But she found a way. She won" she said.

Just the thought of Alexis was pissing me off. "Jaelynn let's not talk about Alexis right now. You need to rest okay".

She blinked and a tear slowly fell down her cheek. Quickly wiping it away she sniffles and turned away from me. "And it hurts so bad" she whispered. My heart broke right there when she said that. I hugged her as she broke down. The only way we will get through this we have to be there for each other.

After waiting for Jaelynn to fall asleep I sneaked out the room and saw Renzo sitting in the waiting room. "How is she?".

"She's better... not a hundred percent but she's better than when the doctor told her" he looked at me with worry. "I'm sorry man".

I didn't want to go home or anywhere far from Jaelynn but I had to shower and eat something. Once we got home... the place felt empty. Jillian came down the stairs frantically worried. "How is she?".

Looking away "she miscarried". Jillian looked at me and covered her mouth "oh my gawd. Poor Jaelynn. Can't believe that happened".

"Where's zahrie?" I asked.

"She's upstairs, sleeping" she answered. I nodded and slowly crept to her room. Opening the door to see she was sleeping in her crib. She looked like an angel when she slept. Placing a kiss on her forehead and whispering "I love you, princess".

Trying to contain my emotions but at this rate the anger of what happened was building inside of me. And there's only one true person to blame for this. She's the main person always causing problems and this time it went too far.

My anger isn't as bad as jaelynn's. But when I'm pushed against the wall I will fight back. And right now Alexis has pushed me against the wall. She made me lose the one thing I wanted. An innocent life is lost because of her selfish ways.

Punching my fist into the wall causing a hole to be in the spot I just hit. I can't do this anymore. I tried being nice and I can't anymore. She brought the beast out. I'll be the karma that will come for Alexis. She brought this on herself.

Times up!.

** it hurt to choose for her to miscarry. And then I'm listening to "one sweet day" by Mariah Carey/Boys II Men... doesn't help**
