ONE WEEK LATER
TWO-THIRTY A.M.
ALEXANDRA
I woke up in the middle of the night, my stomach hurting and my legs feeling damp. I take off the covers and grab my phone and shine the phone flashlight on my legs.
Blood.
"CHLOE" I yell as my eyes start walking up with tears.
"CHLOE... CHLOE" I yell, my voice cracking.
She barges into my room and turns on my lights to see me crying.
"WHATS WRONG?" she asks confused
"I'm bleeding"
"no no no no no. okay we have to get to the hospital right now." she says as she helps me get up.
"we have to call ethan" I say in between groans of pain.
"okay we will first let's get you to the hospital okay? you are going to be okay babe" she says trying to comfort me.
CHLOE
We get to the hospital and immediately the nurses move her to a cot.
She grips my hand the whole time as she gets transported to a room.
"i'm gonna call ethan okay. you're okay" I say trying to soothe her.
"hello?" he says in a raspy voice
"ethan you need to come to the hospital now" I say as my voice breaks
"why what's wrong? are you okay" he asks, now fully alert and awake.
"it's alex..."
ETHAN
"it's alex..."
I dropped my phone and I immediately woke up Grayson.
"GRAYSON WE NEED TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW ITS ALEX SOMETHINGS WRONG" I say, tears forming in my eyes.
He gets up fully alert as i grab the keys and we both go to my car.
We both get in and I just sit there.
"what are you doing? we need to go!" grayson says, his voice becoming
more muffled as i just stare at the window.
"ETHAN?? Ethan" grayson says shaking me.
"she's there because of me..." I continuously murmured to myself.
"what? ethan it's not your fault"
"-because of me. she's there because of me"
"ETHAN! SHE IS NOT THERE BECAUSE OF YOU. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT! NOW DRIVE" grayson yells frantically
I snap out of it and I start the car and drive to the hospital.
We arrive at the hospital and I run to the front desk.
"Alexandra morin."
"Are you the husband?" the nurse asks
"no. i'm the... boyfriend"
"okay. currently she is having a pelvic exam done by her doctor which will be done soon and then you can go to her room. The room is 145."
I say thank you then look for her room with Grayson. I see our doctor, Dr. Zimmerman walk out of a room and I rush to the room, seeing it's Room 145.
I open the door, seeing Alex sitting in the bed, crying while holding Chloe's hand.
ALEXANDRA
As soon as I heard the door open, I looked up, locking eyes with ethan. His eyes were teary.
He walked over to me and sat on the bed with me.
"W-we.. um.. we lost the baby..." I say as tears start falling down my cheeks again
He engulfs me in a hug and we just sit there together, crying.
"i'm sorry" ethan says as he rubs my back.
"i'm sorry too"
"are you okay"
"it hurts.. it really hurts" I say
"im sorry" was all he could say as we continued to cry.
TWO DAYS LATER
ETHAN
chloe🤡🤡
how is she?
she's hardly ever
leaves her room..
you should come over
bc idk what to do
ok i'll be there soon.
don't tell her tho
After texting chloe, I grab my keys and leave the house. Before getting to their place, I drive to Century City and walk into Halo Top Scoop Shop. I buy four pints of ice cream. One strawberry, one mochi green tea, one chocolate chip cookie dough, and then one chocolate.
After buying those I go to the edible cookie dough store nearby and buy two pints of that and then drive to Alex and Chloe's apartment.
I knock on the door and was greeted by chloe.
"she won't come out of her room unless she needs to pee or eat. she isn't talking to me too." chloe says in a hushed tone
"i'll try talking to her." I say as I walk towards alex's room.
I open the door and see alex quickly shuffling and closing her eyes pretending to be asleep.
"alexandra... I know you're not sleeping"
no answer.
"I brought ice cream and cookie dough"
She slowly sits up from her bed and looks at me. Her hair was in a messy bun and her eye whole face was puffy and red.
"Hi" she says
"can we talk?" I ask
She nods her head no.
"then can we just watch netflix together and eat ice cream?"
"fine"
I walk to her bed and I take out all the ice cream and cookie dough.
"pick an ice cream flavor"
she grabs the chocolate chip cookie dough and I grab the strawberry. I take out one cookie dough pint and take the rest of the ice cream and other cookie dough pint and put it in the freezer.
I come back and she has Vampire Diaries on, already eating the ice cream.
We watch four episodes of the vampire diaries and finished the chocolate chip cookie dough and strawberry ice cream, and cookie dough pints"
I pause the episode to try and talk
"HEY!" she says annoyed
"i just want to talk for a little bit and then we can watch the rest of the episode okay?"
"fine"
"how are you?" I ask with genuine concern.
"i'm... dealing. what about you"
"dealing as well. I hope you aren't blaming yourself. because it's not your fault."
"I know it's not my fault. it's yours"
"exactl- wait what? how is it my fault?" I ask confused
"you're the one who had sex with me, you're the one who convinced me to keep it, you're the one that took me to buy cute tiny baby clothes.."
"alex that's not fair.. you agreed that you wanted this. we wanted this together"
"no you wanted this. I didn't want to get attached."
"you can't say that. you cared for this baby just as much as I did" i say, my voice rising.
she didn't say anything.
"sorry. I didn't mean to yel-"
"I THOUGHT U WERE GRAYSON WHEN WE HAD SEX." she said angrily
"...what? you said you were too drunk to remember.."
"i sort of remembered.."
"and you didn't say ANYTHING?"
She became silent. I stormed out of her room.
"are you okay?" chloe asked.
I walked right past her and slammed the front door shut.
