seventeen, single and pregnant

Family Drama Chapter six

Recap: I thought he was gonna give me a verbal answer but instead, he just shook his head "no ''. Once dinner was over, I began to wash the dirty dishes. I keep hearing yelling from upstairs. I stopped what I was doing and walked upstairs quietly. There I was standing outside my parents room, listening to their conversation.

"We have to tell them, especially Marie. She's pregnant, she needs to know the truth both of them do." I stood there in shock, listening to my mom snapping at my dad. He just stands there denying it all. I open the door, " Tell us what?" They looked towards the door where I was standing with a serious look. Dad just walked past me and started heading downstairs. I followed him, "What are you keeping from us." Mom goes after me, "Sweetie, relax you can't get upset." A sharp pain appeared on my lower stomach. I grab onto my pregnant belly and scream with all the air in my lungs. From the top of the stairs, my brother ran downstairs. "M, are you ok?" I start to scream and cry, "I need to go to the hospital, Now!" My brother carried me to the backseat of his car, "Hang on, We'll be there soon." My brother rushed to the hospital no matter how many red light he'll run.  

Once we got to the hospital, he ran inside to get help. "Help, my sister is pregnant and she has a strong pain." The nurses ran to car with a wheelchair to get me out. They stopped my brother from following so that he could sign all my paper work. The doctor starts to listen to my belly, "How far are you, sweetie?" "I'm only five months doctor, please help me." The doctor tells the nurses to check my blood pressure and to run a ultrasound test. While we waited for the results to come back in, my brother stayed by my side through the entire time. It started to get dark when the doctor came in with my results, "Alright, everything is completely fine. You just got way too upset that cause your body to react badly which was the reason for the sharp pain, so just keep your anger on a low just until the baby is here." I looked at my brother, who was asleep on the side of the bed. I woke him up slowly, "The doctor said that I'll be fine, it was just my body reacting badly to me being very upset." He smiles at me, "Well let's keep you out of drama then."

Once we got home, My dad was packing his things in his car and my mother standing at the door. I walk past my dad already feeling my blood boil inside. "Mom? Are you ok?" She looks at me in tears and nods, "The question is, Are you and the baby ok?" I nod at her with a smile, and kissed her forehead. We walked inside and headed up stairs to bed.

It was 2am in the morning, With all the twists and turns from finding a comfortable way to sleep and the baby deciding to kick. I heard a loud thump coming from my mother's bathroom. At first I thought it was nothing but then I heard glass shattering. I got up from my bed and walked to my brother's room, "Was that you?" He was awake and shook his head "no". He then joined to check in my mother's room. We didn't see her in her bed so we proceeded to check her bathroom. There she was, Our mother, The women who gave us life, laying on the with blood running from her arm. I screamed as loud as I could, and knee next to mother, "What did you do?" My brother stood there in shock while I was clenching my arms onto my dead mother's body. I cried onto her cold pale skin. My heart dropped and broke into pieces. My mother, The grandmother of my unborn child, killed herself because my our father wasn't loyal enough. It was fair, it was right. She was supposed to be there when I would go into labor, for when I need help with changing my first dirty diaper. But now, She will be with us like our guardian angel. 

Three days later...

*Screams*

My best friend who has been sleeping in the room with me for the past days woke up from her sleep, "It ok, it was just another nightmare." Another one, the second one tonight, but the tenth one in the past three days. I looked over his shoulder to see my brother laying on the floor looking at me from where he was sleeping, but the clock caught my attention. It was seven in the morning, The funeral was at ten. Our family would be coming in to say goodbye to our mother. I got up from bed knowing that I was going to take awhile to get ready. I grabbed my black dress with black laces at the bottom and headed to the shower. Vanessa (best friend) came to the bathroom with me, knowing that I wasn't going to be ok in the bathroom by myself. We both got undress and she turned on the water to left with fill up with warm water and bubbles. Once we were cleaned up, she helped out the bath and get dress. We walked to my room and I sat on the bed. She start to do a light makeup on me, "You need to get more sleep, your nightmares are decreasing but you're still not getting any sleep." I nod at her, "I know, I'm trying." I put on a necklace that my mother gave me for my birthday before she died. My brother came in and put on my flats. He looked at me and pushes my hair behind my ear, "Ready?" I took a deep breath and nod.
