Behind The Storylines..

Chapter 22.

ALIS POV. 

I was scared, I couldn't see properly, I could vaguely see the outline of Ben, he was trying to ask me what was wrong with me but I couldn't tell him, I couldn't anything. WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME?! 

I heard Kym coming up the stairs, obviously hearing Ben sounding concerned... 'Ben, what's h...' She must've looked over to me and saw the glazed over look in my eyes. 'Ali, Ali can you hear me?' I made a noise, a sort of low quiet mumble. 'Okay, can you squeeze my hand if you can understand what I'm wanting you to do?' I squeezed her hand. She sighed with relief. 'Right, so.. I think it may either be shock, or just pregnancy symptoms. OR both' She told ben. 

I was still scared and I didn't know what to do, but I could feel myself losing my balance and I couldn't even tell anyone. I felt myself going. I hit someone on my way down and they caught me. Thank god. 'Ben, can you go and get the fan for me, so I can cool her down. See if that helps her any.' 'Okay' I heard Ben heading downstairs, Kym must have caught me. 

I still couldn't see properly. I couldn't help but think, -is this what partially sighted people see. but constantly?- I don't know why I started thinking about that but I did. May have just been my mind going into overdrive, but, hey... I didn't know what else to think about. 

I woke up to the sound of Kym shouting my name. I forced my eyes open to look at her. 'Good Morning sleeping beauty... how are you feeling?' I still felt really disoriented.. 'mmm' is all i could muster. 'At least you're a little more talkative than before you blacked out..' She smiled a reassuring smile, and I instantly felt better. 'Where's ben?' I said quietly... 

'Yeah, about him... He told me he can't do this anymore.. He can't be with you.' I didn't know how to process it.. Was he just leaving me in the lurch when I was carrying his baby?! 'He told me he was having second thoughts about having a baby.. So he's moved out..' 

I just sat there.. didn't know what to think. 'In other news, Chris has come round...' She smiled a wide toothy grin at me as I looked back at her.. 'Come on, he's downstairs' She helped me up and we slowly walked downstairs. 

There he was, sat there, worry written all over his face. 'Ali! are you okay? I came for a visit, but when I got here, Kym told me all that's been going on.. how are you feeling?' I sat down next to him. 'I've been better...' I took a huge breath and sighed.. I was still processing it all... 

I started to day dream... I thought about Chris in a way I never had before. 

Am i starting to like him? 

Only time will tell....
