Wonderful Things

Valerie

William and I kept walking for about ten minutes, talking and joking around till Toby ran to him with a soccer ball. William turned around and gave me a short kiss before he Chased after Toby. I leaned against a tree and watched Toby's attempt at trying to kick the ball to his dad, seeing Harry from a distance with my foot-long and his. My head was feeling fine and I can feel Valerie moving, kicking me. I put my hand over the spot, feeling a bit of pain from her movements. I sighed and looked up smiling at Harry who was not very far now. I felt slightly relieved, and pulled up my sinking sweats.

"ALLISON! WATCH OUT!" My head flung up at Harry's scream. He dropped the food and ran towards me. I was distracted by a soccer ball, right to my side and I fell to my knees. The air was sucked out of me and I gasped for it, feeling Valerie rush from one side to another. Piercing pain shot all over me. It came fast, hard, and I  can not breathe. I screamed as I  joined the ball on the ground, pressure against my body and a sharp pain all over my lower body. I held myself but it only made it worst, the players running to me, William ran to me. I am sufficating. "Alison! Alison breathe!" He screamed at me, cupping my face, trying to do something.  He was very blurry, everything was blurry.

My eyes were closed, yet I can tell it was very bright. My head is spinning and I scrunched my brows together, the air feeling cold and refreshing in My lungs. A chair was pulled closer to me and I knew someone is sitting at my left side.

"W-William"I weakly called his name,keeping My eyes closed from the bright light. My voice seemed different and I could not speak loud. A warm hand rested on mine after I  had spoke,fingers curling and wrapping around my hand."I'm right here babe" he sounded both sleepy and tired, squeezing my hand. That was our thing, i was not sure what it was but it was our thing.

 I put my hand over the big bump. It burned and hurt, yet I kept it there for comfort that she is still with me. I slowly fluttered My eyes opened, looking down at My hand. I smile,smiling big. She is still here, I know it. There were tubes attached to my nostrils to help me breathe, though I  was breathing fine.

Slowly I began lifting Myself To sit up, and William shook his head,making me lay back down. My eyes then turned to look at him and his swollen eyes, dark circles under, and it has been a while since he had shaved. He did not look at me, almost avoiding me while his hand still rested on mine. "..can we go home now?" I had said bluntly, and William just shook his head no.

I gave William a glare, slightly confused till I, again, remembered everything that had happened. I was just in a soccer field, watching Toby play with William and waiting for Harry, who was not far from me. Though he was too late. I was too late.

Some young teens around the age of fifteen and sixteen were playing soccer and instead of passing the ball, I became the goal. My heart began to race, My sight became blurry from my glassy eyes and i can see my hands are shaking. I remember the way she moved, hiting my right side of her home in My tummy, but that had to be normal. "I-is she ok?" I asked firmly as I  moved my hand,searching for any movement she could give me.

William just looked at me for a moment before finally speaking." You're hurting yourself" William grabbed both my hands and held them, stoping me from doing anything. I practically slapped his hands off of me, letting a few tears fall and I wiped them. She always kicks or pushes me but she is quiet this time. Maybe she's just taking a break like she always does, to let both her and I rest after all of this craziness. "Ali-" "she's just taking a little break from all of this"

I stopped him, with a small smile as I met his eyes.

He had a straight face on.lifeless, as if I was looking at his dead body. 

He silently sighed and looked down, and I quickly grabbed his hand. "William please I wanna go home" He said nothing and it was silent. I placed my hand on his thigh and he finally looked me in the eyes. I waited for an answer. I reached a new level of devastation and frustration.
