I'm awoken to the sound of my phone with it's annoying ass ringtone which I don't have a clue why I put it as that.
I roll over and grab it and read the caller id that is unknown to me. I press answer and put the phone to my ear slowly.
"Hello?"
"Hello ma'am is this Lillian wallflower?"
"Yes.."
"The is the New York Grove Medical Center and i would like to inform you that your mother Paige wallflower was brought into our emergency facility correct?"
"Yes."
"She currently is in surgery because we found an infection in her lower abdomen and one other thing.."
no. she has cancer. no no no. I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes, blurring my vision. I quickly blink them away and try to force down the lump In my throat.
"W-What did you f-find?"
"Your mother is.. pregnant."
No.
"WHAT?"
"We found out this morning while looking through her x-rays."
well considering she did get raped until she was
paralyzed from the amount of pain she witnessed.
"Oh my gosh.."
"Yes and visiting hours are from 11am to 3pm so you are welcome to come at that time."
"Ok ma'am thank you so much for this information I will defiantly stop by."
"Ok mrs. Lillian goodbye and have a blessed day."
I whisper a quick goodbye and set my phone on the nightstand while I get up and head for the shower.
I walk into my bathroom and look In the mirror and take in my appearance. 'I look like shit' I mutter as I let down my hair and strip while starting my shower.
--
I wrap the towel around my body while i wipe the mirror off with my hand making a big enough hole to where I could see my upper half of my body.
I grab my brush out of the drawer and brush out my hair from it's tangly shape.
I open the door while trying to hold on to my towel at the same time and quickly make my way to my dresser as I pull out a pair of panties and bra.
I turn around and I go to set my clothing down when a hand is placed over mine.
i jerk my hand away and scream at the top of my lungs. I look up and see jake dying of laughter on his back while I have a horrified look ok my face.
"JOSH!!! You ass!!!"
I reach over and slap him on the shoulder. holy shit. he got buff.
"Lily your face ahahahah! did you not see me?"
"No!! could you not tell?"
"Well idk all I saw was a pale ass ghost walk thru the room in a towel that went straight past me like I was a rock and pulled out some damn underwear and bra- speaking of bras is this hello kitty???!!"
He snatches my bra and runs across the room while examining it like a science project as I run over and make an attempt to snatch it away.
Which was a fail because all he does is lift it higher and higher so that I could in no way grab it.
"Josh!!! Give it back!!!"
"Fine." he looks at me with a sad face and hands it back to me while I go to grab my underwear and the rest of my clothes I originally planned on getting.
"And do you mind?" I ask while gesturing to my towel with my hand and then to the door.
"Oh so your kicking me out huh?"
"NO!! I meant can you leave so I can change?" I let out a slight chuckle.
"Ugh hurry up I'm not in the mood for waiting." he says while stomping out like a 6 year old and slamming the door shut.
I laugh at his childish manner and change into my clothes.
--
As I'm drying off my hair with my towel I call josh back into the room and sit down on my bed.
He swings open the door and runs to jump on my bed. When he lands I fly onto the floor with a loud thud.
"OMG lily are you ok?" he asks as he jumps down and bends down over me staring at me.
hmm. I think, karma's a bitch.
I wince over in pain as I hold my stomach and groan. "No Josh I think I broke a rib." I say.
"No no no no no lily I'm so sorry I thought i wouldn't land on you and I'm so sorry please don't get mad lets go to the hospital c'mon I'll carry you.
by this point he's on his knees.
I wait for the perfect moment before I jolt up and run and jump onto my bed while his wide eyed like an owl with a pissed look on his face.
I burst out with laughter as lay back.
"That was not funny Lillian I was terrified you had m-"
"Oh jake stop being a wuss I'm fine your fine. Anyways let's talk."
He huffs in annoyance as he gets up and sits down next to me. He doesn't say a word. A look on his face says that he's thinking. And that makes me uncomfortable.
There looks like there's something on your mind, josh you know you can tell me."
He takes in a feel breath and let's me in the eyes and says "Lily why did you ignore me for so long, I was worried about you. I thought something happened. I didn't know if you just lost interest or me or something. I'm sorry lily I don't know what I did but I'm sorry for wh-"
"Wait what? What do you mean?"
A look of confusing crosses his face.
"You've been ignoring my phone calls and texts."
"I'm sorry josh so many things came up I'm sorry I really am I was so busy with my mom and the hospit-"
SHIT. I look over at the clock and it reads:
11:05
SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. MY MOM. HOSPITAL. NOW.
"Lily hospital??? what??? what do you mean??"
I ignore his questions as I run to find my keys and slip on my coat and shoes and grab my purse.
"I'm sorry josh I have to go I'll talk to you later I promise. I need to be somewhere I'm really sorry I love you. I gotta go bye." I rush out of my room and dash down my stairs and out the door, locking it behind me.
I run to my car and unlock the doors and plop in my seat starting the engine.
I look up at my window where I see Josh's face. His eyes full of tears and face full of anger and sadness.
He looks straight into my eyes and mouths to me the next words that bring a sob to my lips.
"Were done."
