so you are Kyle. you recently married Ella and have moved in with her for a month. she is pregnant and alone at home while you are at work.
Ella : hey Kyle?
Kyle : what? i'm working honey.
Ella : didn't you just get home?
Kyle : no? i told you, i'm working till 9.
Ella : then who is in the driveway?
Kyle : oh i told your mom to stop by. see if you were okay.
Ella : alright then. thanks baby! she's here!
so now you are Ella, talking to your mother happily.
"so how long is it now?" mom asked. "oh around 3 months." i replied simply. "wow you are far then. can i have tea?" i nodded and got up to go to the kitchen. "you know you're pretty young to be married with a kid." mom shouted in. "i'm 23. you were 21?" she sighed. "but you're my baby!" i laughed and handed her, her tea. "i have to go. your dad needs me." mom said before leaving. "why? you divorced 3 years ago." she laughed. "can't we have a friendly talk?" i shrugged. "don't shrug. it's bad for the baby. i'll be going now." with that she left me to clean alone.
Ella : guess what?
Kyle : what? i am busy.
Ella : my mom is going to meet my dad for dinner?!
Kyle : why the hell are they doing that?
Ella : i have no idea kyle.
Kyle : okay well i have to go back to work.
Ella : who have you invited now?
Kyle : no one. why?
Ella : oh. no reason then. see you at 9.
now you are Kyle again.
at work (you work as a doctor). "Marry Pip." an old lady walked in. "hello." she smiled warmly. "hello. can you sit down please and let me check your pulse." she sat down. "umm i'm not picking up a heartbeat. let me get another doctor." i said leaving the room. "hey i have someone in there with no pulse. she's awake though." the other doctor (who loves paranormal) follows me to the room. "where is the old lady?" i looked around. "she was just here. should we ask?" the doctor went out. "no one saw her leave." he said suddenly. "so where is she?" i ask concerned. "i don't know. maybe she took the other hall by mistake." i nodded. "that still leads you to outside i guess." eventually we went back to work.
after 3 more patients i got a break and checked my phone.
Ella : hey why is there an old lady?
Kyle : i don't know. do you know her?
Ella : no. she said she was a friend of your mothers.
Kyle : what's her name?
Ella : Marry pip.
Kyle : kick her out. please!
Ella : okay. she's so nice though.
Kyle : no, she's not. kick her out.
Ella : fine. she left but she is crying.
Kyle : okay. i'll explain later. take a bath and relax.
Ella : alright then. see you.
i put my phone down and went back to the doctor i was talking to earlier. "that's so creepy! you made a ghost cry!" he smiled. "it's not funny." he nodded. "go home. my shift finished." i looked expectantly. "i'll cover. your wife may be in danger." i smiled, hugged him and left.
Kyle : hey baby i'm on my way home.
Ella : why? what happened to 9?
Kyle : my friend covered for me.
Kyle : are you okay?
Ella : no. the lady is knocking.
Kyle : you in the bath?
Ella : no. i let her in again.
Kyle : no! tell her to fuck off.
Ella : what? why? she knows you!
Kyle : no she doesn't!
Ella : fine. can i make her tea first?
Kyle : alright. be quick tho.
Ella : why?
Kyle : don't take your eyes of her.
Ella : fine. you're mean tho.
Kyle : el please. i'll be home soon.
with that i stopped texting and driving and drove my way home. singing my anxiety out of me.
{el}
"you are recently married." Marry asked. "yes." i ask suspiciously. "how far are?" she asked. "3 months till the birth." "good. sad you won't get to give birth." "what?" i turned and she was gone. before looking behind me. "sorry." she said holding a knife.
{ Kyle }
"Ella!" i called. no rely. "Ella?" no rely. "Ella!" i saw her laying dead on the ground. she had been stabbed in the heart and stomach.
{ 4 years later}
i now live in a small apartment with Ava. my daughter who survived. despite the fact Ella didn't. "dad?" Ava said in the car when she was in the way home. "yes Ava?" "i got a new teacher today!" i smiled at her. "who is it? are they nice?" "she's really nice! her name is Marry pip!"
