ANDY’S POVI barely slept a wink last night and I seriously hate the fact I couldn’t because I tried so much to just close my eyes but my own words kept hunting me.Maybe I was too harsh on Angela last night and I realized that like few hours into the night.I run my hand through my hair as I swing my feet off the bed and walk into the living room.I did not have dinner yesterday because of what happened and I was feeling so hungry right now.I step into the kitchen to fix something for myself, and settle for some leftover pizza, literally wolfing it down in secondsIt was still pretty early in the morning and I am pretty sure Ethan and Angela would still be sleeping.I decide to watch a movie to keep myself occupied, but I could barely focus on it.My words from yesterday kept ringing in my head and honestly I had realized how wrong it was like a few hours ago, but I can’t just bring myself to acknowledge it and own up to it.Yes, it is petty, it is immature and maybe a little coward
ANDY’S POV I wake up to the feel of a cold pack on my head as I try to slowly open my eyes. The room I was kept was dimly lit, but the mattress felt familiar and soft, so I figured I was still at Ethan’s house. My head moves weakly to the side as I squint my eyes and furrow my brows to get accustomed to my surroundings. I let out a small groan as a mild headache jolts through my head, and a movement beside me startles me. “You woke up….oh thank God” He mutters softly and I try to sit up. “No, stay still, you still need to rest, you had a bad fall” He explains and everything from the past few hours came flooding into my head and my eyes widen. My hands instinctively fly to my stomach as I look down at it, I stare at Ethan with my eyes still wide. “Is the baby okay?” I ask, searching his face as he tries to avoid eye contact with me, busying himself with the bowl of water on the bed side table. “Ethan answer me!” I raise my voice, making him jolt and he sighs. “Your baby is fi
ANDY’S POVHis assistant and I walk into the conference room and I sight him sitting at the head of the table.All heads turn towards us and it takes a while before he registers my presence.His eyes widen with a familiar look, once again looking at me like he had seen a ghost.I send a small nod towards his assistant and she exits the room.I square my shoulders and send a small smile to the men in the room as I walk towards Drake, making sure he was not suspecting what I was about to do.Although a slight frown graced his face, he still tried his best to keep up his stoic façade as I took further steps.I stand in front of him and my smile immediately disappears. My hand connects with his face in swift motion as I slap him.Shocked exclamations pierce through the room, but I don’t stop. I continue to slap him, as the thought of what he has done to me keeps ringing through my head.I continued to hit him as I let out a frustrated cry, before a man comes to create space between us.“Y
DRAKE’S POVThis has to be one of the many times I wished that my legs were working.I knew I was going to have another episode at this point and for some reason I wished the episode was one that could lead to my demise.I didn’t want to face this or anything else after that. I was suffocating. The whole thing was suffocating me.I began to pant in my seat, my chest tightening as it gets a little harder to breathe.It was happening again, and this time I didn’t plan on stopping it. I wanted to see how far it went.Maybe I deserved this and maybe I did not, but I knew I needed a release somehow.My body convulsed against my will, prompting my eyes to roll to the back of my head.The whole replayed over and over again in my head, how she wept and how they left. The look of disdain and disgust covering the features of their face as they stared at me like I was some monster.Maybe I am.But in this very moment, I didn’t care. I just wanted everything to end. I wanted this episode to be th
ANDY’S POVI block my eyes from the sun with my hand as I get up from the bed.I decided to sleep with the light on and I forgot to shut the window last night before I went to sleep, so the blinding sun greets me with a subtle threat of blindness.I put a slight pressure on my eye to ease the sleepiness before climbing out of the bed.It was hard to fall asleep last night because my mind didn’t stop replaying the events of that day and when I finally fell asleep, I did not know.Thankfully the exhaustion played a huge part, so I think I had a pretty good sleep.I decided to try some job hunting as I knew I needed a better paying job since I was literally working for two now.But what company or restaurant or anybody would take a pregnant woman that would work for less hours and still pay really well.But now that I think about it, I do have to meet Drake in the evening and if I went job hunting I might exhaust myself before noon and I did not want to put my baby at risk.I decided to
ANDY’S POVI gulp down the bottle of water as I wait for the bus to arrive. The sun these days have not been friendly, and thankfully too, because I don’t think I could bare a cold weather.I had missed the first bus so I had to wait for the second one.I was feeling tired already and I couldn’t wait to just get home. I didn’t want to seat down because the station seats were not looking like they wanted to be sat on.I can’t even try to think about the last time this place has been cleaned. It’s so dusty and dirty and there is trash everywhere. What’s worse, it is on the seat.Isn’t that a crime or something?Well you can’t know what is a crime and what is not when people like Drake are walking on the face of the earth.Who tries to literally take out the mother of his child? I don’t even want to know his reasons or anything, but you just don’t try over and over again to take someone’s life.For what?To cover your tracks? To keep your reputation? I just can’t wrap my head around this
DRAKE’S POV“Call me when you get home alright?” Matthew states sending me a knowing look as he steals a quick glance at Stephanie.I shake my head slightly, still standing on what I said.I knew Andy was just trying to drive a wedge between Stephanie and I and it wasn’t going to work.Maybe I still had my doubts about her, but there is no way she is some sort of mole in my life. Even if she was, I would have known since the first time I set my eyes on her.I didn’t even have time to think about that, because now I had to focus on getting better and get my body back to normal.Whatever this curse is, it is annoying me. It is not a necessity to have a child. If I don’t want one, then it should be easy to get rid of it.No need for all of this back and forth.If I wasn’t paralyzed right now and I didn’t have these side effects I would have thought it was all a ruse and she was trying to get through to me for my money.But Andy doesn’t even look like she is a money freak, but I have come
ANDY’S POV“I’m sorry Miss, but they are no vacancies at this point” The manager tells me and walks back into his office and I sigh, running my hand through my hair as my frustration runs through my veins.You have got to be kidding me. This is the fifth café today and I was getting exhausted. At this point I think I am out of breath.None of the cafes has had any vacancies, even the ones that had a huge billboard with the words clearly written, still told me they didn’t have any vacancies for me.I know Drake must have something to do with it, it’s been three days already and almost every shop in town and none of them agreed to give me a job.I would have to go out of town and maybe take an afternoon shift, because I would have to used all morning to get to work.But I think I need to go home now. My legs are beginning to hurt so bad and I just need to sit down. I decide to seat on one of the chairs in the café and take a rest. I rest my head against the table. I guess I can rest my
