Just one night

Chapter 8

Months go by. Brendon and I became so happy together. No Nathan, no hitting no cussing, just pure happiness.
Until the night
"They are releasing him" Brendon says, as we cuddle in bed together. I look up at him with wide eyes. I began to feel my body shake.
"But-but why?"
"They don't have any proof of him actually doing all those things to you. He told them all you did it to yourself. You did it cause you were looking for his attention.."
"NO NO NO!" I cried out. I felt my sobs coming along. Brendon held me closer and rocked me back and forth.
"Trust me Erica, I know he did all those things, Hell I saw it with my own two eyes."
"Can't you tell them that?" I said, my breathes were becoming harder and harder to catch
"I did, they told me that isn't enough evidence, they need proof." I felt like I had been knocked in my gut. I got up really fast and ran to the bathroom and vomited.
"Erica are you okay?" Brendon cried out, I continue to vomit. Something isn't right.
"I don't feel well. I felt like this for the past few days. Maybe it's the flu or something." I said, Brendon just nodded, and he held my hair back as I threw up two more times. When that was over he went downstairs and grabbed me a Gatorade and some crackers.
"Thank you, Brendon" I smile. I drink the gaterade and think about why I've been sick. No reason, I felt fine the day before it all happened. I had no issues what so ever. I had my period and then...
Wait a minute
I didn't have my period
I haven't had it in two months.
Oh my god
"Brendon" I say, he turns to look at me, I can't tell him yet, I don't even know if it's true, "I need to run to the store, alone"
"Erica what if-"
"I'll be okay, seriously. And I will come right back, don't worry okay?" I smile. Brendon takes my hand and squeezed it.
"Alright"
**************
I get to Walmart and run to the pregnancy tests. I pay and run to the restroom. There's three in the container so I will take all. I doubt I'm even pregnant .
All three come back positive
I'm pregnant.
"Holy shit" I say out loud. I grab the tests and run to the car. Brendon is going to leave me, he's going to get pissed. He's going to hate it. Nathan did.
"Nathan, I'm pregnant!" I yelled in excitement. This is where it all began. His face was in shock.
"You're pregnant?" He asked. He didn't sound thrilled.
"Yes!"
"Well get rid of it, I don't want it" Nathan said. I stand there in awe. He didn't want a baby? What about all the plans and dreams we had together? Marriage? A baby? A new home?
"But baby. This could be the start of a new life and-"
"I SAID I DONT WANT IT" Nathan screamed and pushed me to the floor. I begin to cry. What is he doing?
"I don't want no damn baby, so get rid of the shit. You got me?" Nathan screamed. I just nodded my head. I cried on the floor for hours. Nathan left.
I can't tell Brendon. I just can't. I don't want him to leave me.
Brendon cannot know. Not yet anyway.
*************
"Erica you're back!" Brendon sounded like an excited kid. I walked in the room and shut the door. I walked to him and laid my head on his shoulder.
"Brendon?"
"Yes, love?"
"We've been together for 8 months now"
"Yes we have, the best eight months of my life" he smiled and kisses my forehead.
"Do you love me?" I ask. Brendon is silent for a moment. Then I could see a huge smile go across his face.
"I do love you. A lot. You're the best girl out there baby. You mean the world to me and I cannot wait to grow with you and move to a new home and-"
"Brendon I'm pregnant."
Silence
"You're, you're pregnant?" Brendon asks in shock. I slowly nod my head. He was going to leave me. This is it. This is where he goes.
"This, I can't believe this" Brendon says standing up and walking to the door.
"Where are you going?" I ask.
"Give me a second, I'll be right back."
He leaves. Two hours pass. Three hours. Four hours.
Then I hear the front door open.
"Brendon, I know it's a lot and if you don't want to be together I understand but-" and then I stop. Brendon was standing there, arms full of goodies and teddy bears and my favorite food. He had the biggest smile on his face. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"I love you Erica. I love you a lot actually." He says, then he puts all the stuff down and gets on his knee. This couldn't be real. This was a dream.
"Will you marry me?"

Omg omg omg whattttt
