Chloe’s P.O.V   I stopped crying and sat by his bed playing with his hair and placed a kiss on his forehead gently, his chest and head wrapped in bandages and you can see where he got shot from the blood seeping through. “I’m sorry for putting you through all this,” I whispered. I truly was, why did she shoot him over something so stupid, and why not me instead? Why leave me alive if I was the one she wanted gone? I gritted my teeth. “I’ll kill them,” I whispered. “What?” I could tell she’s not believing what I’m saying. “I said I’ll kill them all,” I say louder. “I think we should just go to the police,” She says uncomfortably. “No, they took Colby away, remember,” I said, getting angrier. “Yes, but that was a misunderstanding,” She says, trying to explain. “I don’t care, I don’t want him in jail, I want them dead!” I yelled, all the nurses stared at us through the open door.

I picked off a blackberry and placed it in my mouth as the flavor exploded into a sweet, sour taste. It was delicious. “Enjoy yourself,” A beautiful voice asked, Chloe. “This place is beautiful,” I says in awe. Suddenly a child ran behind her and ran towards me and I had a strange pull to pick her up, placing her on my hip. I smiled at her and the words I never thought I would hear for a long time came out of her mouth. “Daddy, daddy come play with me,” The little girl laughed as she held herself up with her arms around my neck. Chloe laughed as she watched our so-called daughter be all over me, I looked from the little girl back at Chloe and I just realized she has a ring on her finger. Not the ring I gave her but a wedding band as well, I looked down at my own hand where there was a ring also. I put the little girl down and for the first time I had no idea what to say, suddenly there was a searing pain in my chest making me c

  I sighed and looked up at Chloe, she just shrugged and put addy in her high chair and gave her pasta, which I think is spaghetti.   “Where did you learn to cook anyway,” I asked as she went and poured me a glass of water. “Your mother,” She replied placing the glass in front of me. “My mother, you mean we stayed in contact with them?” I asked confused. “They separated, but yes,” she answered with a small smile.   “Mommy is uncle Xavier coming over to play today?” Addy asked kicking her feet back and forth in excitement. “Maybe, I’ll give them a call after dinner,” Chloe says as she got a sippy cup out of the drawer. “Uncle Xavier?” I mumbled under my breath. “Yes your baby brother,” She answered as she passed addy her sippy cup full of apple juice.   My baby brother... oh shit I have forgotten all about him! I thought to myself.   Chloe w

  The pain was sharp and quick but I could feel the pressure of the needle prodding my skin, which lasted about three minutes.   “Alright I’m done,” He announced I opened my eyes to see him placing a piece of cotton and some tape on my arm, he must have noticed the look on my face because he added. “It’s to stop the bleeding,” He threw away the garbage and got up from his stool again.   “The blood work is going to take a couple of hours, so if the two of you would like you could stay here or leave and come back,” Doctor Crowell explained picking up the tubes full of my blood.   I looked over at Hayley, this isn’t my choice.    She looks as if she didn’t want to be here anymore then I do.   “We are going to head out we will be back in two hours,” Hayley explained picking up her purse and searching through it for the car keys.   “Well

  "Chloe, I will take care of you and that baby no matter what." She says honestly.  "-But it isn't your responsibility." I sighed. "As long as you're with me I'll be by your side," Hayley sa holding my stare. "The last person who told me that is currently in a coma." I bitterly joked. "Well I won't I'm fine," Hayley reassured.    What she doesn’t understand is that she isn’t fine; neither of us is.   "Until they realize I'm alive and track me down." my face turned into a frown "But they won't." trying to find the positive side to this situation, which is just making me more angry.   I took a breath as I tried to explain my point, "Yes, they will, especially when I make my move."   "Wait, you're still on that, I figured you would have given up on that when you found out you were pregnant." Hayley rolled her eyes. “This cou
