Rivers P.O.V

I do not know how I was living in these past few weeks. I could not sleep at all and every time I would close my eyes, I would remember that horrifying night and would wake up with sweat dripping down my neck.

My brother did the surgery about two weeks ago and now we are doing sessions of chemotherapy. I honestly cannot wait until the doctor tells me I can take him home because all the hell I have been through would be worth seeing my little brother smile.

I was daydreaming of that day when I was interrupted by the ring of my phone. I looked at the caller ID only to realize it was the devil's spawn. I battled myself on whether or not I should answer because I really did not want to talk to him but in the end I did.

"Hello," I said with venom in that one word because I honestly wanted to jump on the phone and kill him. Then watch his blood fill the ground.

"My mother and Diana want to talk to you. “He replied, in an emotionless way which caused me to burst immediately into flames.

"Ok, why the hell are you telling me this," I yelled.

"Because I'm coming to pick you up and watch your tone around Diana. If you keep talking like that eventually she will find out and if she does, I will be using that same tone with you. “He barked, causing me to huff a deep breath.

"Alright, I am at the house your mom rented, "I informed him because I did not want to continue this conversation any longer or I think the minute he arrives I will murder him. Day by day minute by minute hate has filled my heart towards that man.

"Ok, fifteen minutes and I will be there. “He replied, in a harsh tone. I hope he dies somehow before these fifteen minutes come. Ahh, this man is going to give me a stroke before I even have his baby imagine after I probably might as well commit suicide.

I walked to my closet and began to search for my clothes. I was going for I hope you go to hell Ethan look. In the end, I went for a red v neck blouse with a pair of blue jeans and a blue cardigan because it was starting to get cool.

I heard a honk.

Man, he's not dead yet oh well maybe the next time around. I put on red flats, grabbed my handbag, and my iPhone and ran for the door. He acted as if he were a gentleman by opening the passenger seat door for me but I did not buy it and besides I did not want to sit next to him. So, I went to sit in the back. If I was going to forgive him it was going to take a lot of begging.

"So, how are you doing. “He asked, staring into the rear-view mirror but I turned away as soon as I noticed.

"Fine until you showed up." I scorned, rolling my eyes.

"Any signs of pregnancy. “He asked, motioning with his hand in the air. In my head, I was thinking of taking his hands and breaking them off that instant.

"No, not really, "I replied, shaking my head.

"What do you mean? “He asked, in confusion.

"I mean I threw up yesterday but other than that no," I said, with an attitude clear in my tone.

"I do not know if that's good news or bad news. “He replied, glaring in my direction and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

Ethan's P.O.V

"What the hell do you mean? “She yelled.

She’s kidding right?

I mean it's like this girl does not own a damn brain.

"I mean Diana and my mother are going to make you take tests to see if you're pregnant. They have been hovering over my head for the past three weeks it's just I tried to avoid it for both our sakes." I said, staring at her in the rearview mirror. I mean she can be a pain in the ass but she was beautiful.

The way her wavy blonde hair cascaded along her shoulders gave me chills just thinking about running my hands through it but I was so caught up in her reflection that I forgot we're talking.

"Hello...Earth to Ethan...Earth to Ethan can you read me, Ethan? “She yelled.

She cannot let me sink in my thoughts just for a millisecond. Man, she is aggravating.

"Yes, I can hear you River. You do not have to yell." I hissed and she rolled her eyes.

"Ok, but I have to see my brother after so we have to make it quick. “She commanded.

"You have a brother, "I asked because I was generally confused, I thought mother said she did not have anyone?

"Yes, his name is Aiden and he’s small so you do not have to worry about him kicking your ass. "She chuckled, and I smiled back. This was honestly the first time she ever smiled and her smile was beautiful.

"No, it's just my mother said you do not have anyone so that is why I asked but my mother is always full of surprises something you will figure out along the way." I smiled and she did too but then her phone rang which ruined the moment.

"Hello. “She answered, smiling as she answered the phone and then the smile faded as quick as it was stitched. She furrowed her eyebrows and a worried look flashed on her face. The phone slipped from her hands and a tear stroked her olive-colored cheek.

I immediately stopped the car on the side of the highway and took a seat next to her.

"Are you ok?" I asked stroking her arm lightly.

All she did was a nod and look at me with complete innocence. Her forest green eyes were filled with pain, pain that was indescribable. Her eyes were filled with more pain than anyone can possibly hold at one moment.

"I have to go to the hospital? "She sobbed and slid past me to get out.

"Why?"

"My mother...had a minor heart attack... and now she is in... the hospital and I have to go. "She walked out but I grabbed her wrist which caused her to stumble on me. Her eyes met mine and for a split second, I could see how pure her heart was. I could see and read her more clearly than ever but she got up quickly and I did as well.

"I can go by myself. I do not need your help and I do not want my mother to see you." She rambled, pointing her finger towards my chest.

"But-"I tried to reason with her but of course being as stubborn as always, she interrupted.

"No." She replied, quickly to quick.

God this woman is stubborn as hell. I honestly praise the man that is going to put up with her and I am glad it's not me.

"Just let me take you please," I begged, her eyes met mine for a split second but she quickly averted my gaze and looked directly at the ground.

Ethan smiled at River.Which got me thinking the worst but I let my mind not wander.He would never do that.I took her up the stairs and onto the second floor near my room since the house was three floors.

Of course, if you approve Ms. Campbell.”“Of course, whatever you feel is needed to help the baby,” I replied, joyfully.“Great, can you walk or-”“No, ah yes I can walk, “I replied while getting up to walk towards the door.“Here take my hand,” Dr. Blanchard said, extending her arm.“Is anyone
