Tainted Love

Chapter 5

Excuse me if I have really bad and or obvious errors. I only really looked over this once. Sorry in advance.

Raven's POV

I start to wake up. My head is killing me. What just happened? I open my eyes to see that I'm not in Brian and I's usual bedroom. It looks like a hospital.

"W-what happened?" I call out. No one answers. I sit up to see everyone that I know is asleep on the ground using their jackets or blankets as bedding. What happened? "Brian?" I call out. I see him shoot up.

"Raven!" He says in a quiet voice to not wake the others. He hugs me and I automatically hug back. I swallow a lump in my throat.

"Did it really happen?" I croak out. We both know what we're talking about.

"I'm sorry." He sounds like he's crying. I begin to cry too. We finally let go of each other.

"Why is everyone here?"

"They were worried as well." I look down at my lap. It's like my specialty to get my friends worried about me all the time. I dismiss that thought as a doctor comes into my room. He steps over my friends on the floor carefully.

"Good morning, Mrs. Warner." He brings out his clipboard and glances over it. "Well, you had a miscarriage. The-the baby is dead. I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Warner." He apologizes.

"No. No, my baby can't be dead! You probably didn't even fucking try! That's my baby!" I scream. More tears start to pour down. "Our baby!" I shout once more. He tries to calm me, but I keep yelling profanities and threats. Anger comes coursing through my veins. I woke up everyone with my yelling. The whole room tries to calm me.

"Please, calm down." I begin to have a panic attack. I hyperventilate. My whole world seems so blurry. My baby is dead. What did I do wrong? Why me?!

"Baby," Brian says to me as he holds me. "It's okay, shh." He says and rubs my back. My breath begins to steady.

"I'll give you a minute. You can checkout anytime tomorrow." I hear the doctor say. I squeeze my eyes shut.

"Brian, what did I do wrong?" I whisper.

"Can you give us a minute, please?" Marilyn requests from our friends. I hear footsteps of them leaving then shutting the door. "We will get through this. Trust me."

"This can't be true. I'm suppose to have the baby, but my body can't even do that right!" I yelp. He rubs my shoulders. He gives me a kiss on the cheek, my lips feel as if they will stay as a frown for forever.

"The only thing we can do is try again when we are ready."

"No, it's not that simple, Brian! I will fail at doing this again. I know it."

"Why don't you get some rest?" I sniffle and nod slowly.

"Lay with me?" I whisper. He nods and lays beside me on the tiny bed. He holds me tight.

"We'll get through this." He kisses the top of my head. "Together."
