A few weeks later..
I aimlessly stir my bland Cheerios well I sit patiently at the dining table for some better food then this bullshit. As I wait, my mind wanders off; that night I told him I loved him and he didn't say word to me after that or for the rest of the day. He didn't even make eye contact while we literally having sex.
But, only a day after it was like it never happened. He greets me in the morning and always asks how I'm feeling since my morning sickness has been nothing but terrible the last couple days.
Today I have a doctors appointment and Luke's taking a day off to tag along. I'm nervous, like really nervous.
As I force myself to take a bit of my cereal, I feel a strong hand rest on my shoulder and
Luke's POVI groan as I hear my alarm clock start to buzz on the beside table. As I turn pull my head from pillow, my hand slaps down on the clock and it stops. "Good morning, beautiful," I say as I turn around but come face-to-face with an empty bed that obviously hasn't been touched in weeks. I shake my head and rub my eyes. "Get over yourself, man," I tell myself and get out of bed.As I enter the bathroom, I grab a towel and go over to the shower, turning the dials to hot and jump in. Hot showers are amazing, they release all the tension built up inside of you and let you just finally relax. They numb you.Anyways, enough bullshit. I'd better get going.I turn the dials off and hop out, grabbing a nearby towel and
Maria's POVI stride down the hall angrily, hatred coursing through me like never before. So much so, the whole saying of "all I could see was red" comes true right before my eyes.Allison's probably planning their wedding, or they're fucking right now. Could even be both for all I know. But what does it matter, hm? I was never important enough for Luke to stay faithful.I turn a corner and continue down the stairs which leads me down to the main foyer. No guards are in sight so I continue through another hallway which will lead me to the garden.When I reach the doors that lead to the garden, I look to my right and see some books and a notebook sitting on a small table that I always bring outside with me. I scoop the
Maria's POVMy head is pounding and my face feels red and swollen as I awake from my slumber. I sit up in bed and touch my face, trying to recall what happened.The bed suddenly shifts beside me. "Maria, how are you feeling?" Luke asks.I turn my head slowly and see Luke trying to reach out to touch me, but immediately take his hand away when we make eye contact.I roll my eyes to myself and turn around in the bed, planting my feet on the floor firmly and standing up.As I walk towards the bathroom, Luke quickly gets out of bed and follows me.What's this guys deal? I don't need help going to the bathroom.Flic
Maria's POVFor awhile, I was dreaming of an alternate universe. A universe that didn't involve Luke, or being a mafia wife. This universe was good, one I wanted to live in for the rest of my life. I was free like bird; soaring in every direction possible. Happy was the only thing I could be.But, that all ended very quickly.I'm awake now, but I'm not in my car. I can see the bluest of skies I've ever seen before.Am I in heaven?"What do you got?"I feel myself being transferred lower to the ground and then being wheeled somewhere."19 year old female, 16 weeks p
Luke's POVShe's so messed up, I can't even recognize her.God, I should've never let my ego get ahead of my real feelings. She would've never ended up like this then.I haven't even entered the room yet. I'm just standing at the door, hands clenching my hair tightly.The nurse who just heard me say 'it's Maria' is standing beside me in awe, also in shock."I-is she still mentally intact?" I ask, facing the trembling nurse.She nods and gathers herself. "Yes, she had a brain bleed and the doctor needed to fix it, but we are checking every hour to make sure her brain activity is still there," she informs.
A week later...I've tried...I've tried so damn hard to fix my mistakes, but she doesn't talk, or even look at me. And the not communicating with me isn't her just not wanting to talk to me, I think she's scared of me.Her body is always turned away from me every chance she gets, and she's constantly fidgeting with her hands, or mumbling when I'm around.The only person she talked to at one point, was the baby who isn't even born yet. Sometimes when I've gone out to do a small job, I've come back and seen her talking quietly to her belly in a voice as sweet as candy.She may have woken up and been able to talk to me, but only now is she realizing my recent
Maria's POVHe's been gone for hours. I mean, I'm not complaining or anything, but if you're going out to do work, just tell me and don't lie by saying you're 'using the washroom'.Because he's been gone all day, I haven't been able to do my daily laps which are crucial. The doctor told me I can attempt them myself with the help of a nurse, but no ones been around. I've just been in the bed all day, alone.I was hoping Garrett would stop by and help me with my laps today. He's a nurse and he always comes in to check on me, even if he's not scheduled to work in this part of the hospital. Everyday, he makes me laugh and feel like I've got something to live for.I just hope he's not avoiding me. I need a friend since I'm
It's the next morning now and I'm just waking up after having forced myself to fall asleep next to him last night.As my eyes fully open to full consciousness, I notice Luke sitting up, his back turned to me.It looks like he's scrolling through his phone.I sit up and rub my eyes. I feel the bed then shift and his eyes meet mine."Good morning," he greets with a soft smile. "How'd you sleep?" He puts his phone on the nightstand."Good.." I say with obvious suspicion.He nods and I get out of bed."Where are you going?" He asks and jumps to his feet."I'm going to sho
