Fix Me (Sequel to Deadly in Love)

Chapter 57

-2 months later-

(Christie's pov)

How do people do this? How do people manage to carry a baby for 8 months? It hurts so much. Every little piece of me hurts like crazy. If it doesn't hurt, it aches. I feel like I'm paralyzed, because if I move, it hurts. I'm always tired, complaining, hungry, or sometimes the opposite, awake, quiet, not hungry. Either way I'm still miserable. I'm lying on the couch instead of the bed upstairs. Justin's in the kitchen. He's not doing too good either. I don't know when the last time he slept was. He's acting wayyy too concerned about me, and he's being very distant too. I know he's worried, but I want him to be ok.

"Here, I got some medicine for you, baby"

Justin sat beside me on the couch and handed me a few pills. Once I took it, I laid back.

"Are you hungry?"

He put his arm around me. I shook my head lightly.

"You feeling better?"

He asked. I shook my head.

"Do you want-"

"I don't want anything right now, ok?"

I snapped, annoyed by the questions. Justin didn't say anything. He just put his head in his hands. I instantly regretted it.

"I think it'd be better if I gave you some alone time"

He got up and left.

"Justin..."

But he just went upstairs. I was so angry and frustrated with myself. I know the doctor said no crying, but this hurts to much. With everything hurting and Justin upset with me, I burst into tears. Crying now made me hurt physically and emotionally. I want Justin to come back. My stomach hurts 10x worse now along with the rest of my body. I laid against the couch, trying to rest.

-15 minutes later-

I wasn't crying anymore, but I was whimpering from the pain on the outside and inside. There were footsteps coming closer.

"Shit, baby, were you crying?"

It was Justin. He came back. I nodded silently.

"Fuck, did I do this? I'm sorry, Christie"

Justin looked at me sorrowfully.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have reacted that way"

I shook my head in shame.

"No, it's not. It was stupid of me to get upset at you when I know you're not feeling good"

He sat beside me. I felt tear form in my eyes again.

"No, baby, don't cry"

Justin begged, but I couldn't hold my tears in.

"Christie no no-don't cry. it's ok....As long as you love me We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke

As long as you love me

I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold

As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me (love me)

As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me (love me)"

He sang quietly in my ear. It calmed me down, and I stopped crying. Justin sounds amazing and perfect. I love it when he sings.

"Are you ok, now?"

Justin pulled as apart. I nodded and dried my face.

"You want me to make you a snack?"
