Fly Before You Fall

chapter 9

Chris POV

I was so confused. Then I heard foot steps running downstairs.

Sierra came around the chair and stopped in front of ashley. They looked at each other. Then sierra grabs her and gives her a tight hug. Ash melts in her arms and I stand there confused.

When they cool down, they sit back on the couch, but sierra continues to comfort her.

D- does Eric know?

Ash- ...no...what if he leaves me. We never talked about babies!

D- babies? How far are you?

Ash- they told me I was 5 weeks.

She kept sobbing. I just slowly backed out the room. They didn't need me and ash sure didn't.

D POV

Chris had snuck out the room. What a pubk.. Anyway ash just kept crying.

Me- your keeping them right?

Ash- ...I dont know

Me- you can't kill them. Why would you want to. So that you can please him. Do not be afraid to be alone. Boys will come and go ash. Theres nothing special about a boy who can't own up to his responsibilities or makes his woman regret. I dont know who Eric is-

Ash- yea you dont know him-

Me- but if you find him special give him the benefit of the the doubt that he'll be there for his kids...

There was silence. I wiped her stray tear. She closed her eyes. I felt so bad about yelling at her, but when I processed it upstairs. I had to run back down here. She started to fall asleep so I laid her on the couch and took her heels off. After that I put a blanket over her then I walked to the kitchen. Chris stood there drinking a beer.

Chris- she asleep?

I walk to the stove and pull out pans to cook. Then I realize I dont feel like it. I call up dominos. Her favorite. I walk away to make the order of 2 large pizzas, breadsticks and a 2 litter soda. I walk back into the kitchen. Chris still sat on the other side of the island that faced the kitchen sink. I just shook my head. He shrugged his shoulders.

Me- come with me for a sec?

I stand there and watch him get up then I walk the opposite way of the living room. When I stop around the hall way, I turn instantly and he was supper close. I back up.

Me- are you done moaping cause there's a girl in there ready to kill herself and your the only one able to talk her out of it.

Chris- I think you did a good job.

I sucked my teeth and was about to walk away till Chris pulled me back and pushed me against the wall I was already leaning on.

Chris- if you know I love her. You know why this is hard for me.

He whisper yelled.

Me- so tell her how you feel, but instead of letting her kill herself for some guy. How bout you show you love her by talking some sense into her. Instead of being a little bitch.

He clenched his jaw and I walked away from him.

Me- I'll be gone soon so keep the death glare to a minimum.

I jump up onto his counter and wait for the pizza.

Chris POV

I walk past her on my counter and all I wanted to do was push her. She didn't even look at me. She just said, "minimum"
