Chapter 5:
I walked down the road. It was raining heavily. I stopped, looking up to the dark grey skies. I Lost my path a while ago. Now I know not where I stand at the moment. Funny right?
The rain fell upon my face, as it covered the tears rolling out of my eyes. But that doesn't mean I couldn't feel them. Every tear was painful.
After a while, I caught my direction again and headed home, as flashbacks from earlier came rushing back. Is this what pain feels like? Is this what it feels like to be rejected? I don't want it anymore.
My keys jingled as I opened the door. I stepped in, soaking wet and cold. Shutting the door I heard mothers faint voice from the bedroom.
I walked to her room, forcing a smile upon my Face. I wouldn't want my Mother to feel pain, because of me. But I couldn't keep up my facade, she had already seen right through it the moment I stepped in the room.
"Baby girl, what's wrong?" she questioned in her. Calm soothing voice.
I smiled as tears rolled out my eyes. I didn't want to breakdown, but I couldn't hold it in. So that's what I did. I cried.
I placed my face on her lap as I cried into it. My muffled Cries, quieted down but the tears increased. Mom pat my head soothingly and hushed me. It fell nice, but I was in too much pain to realize.
"Honey, what's the matter?" she asked a glint of pain in her eyes.
"Momma, he Rejected me. He did it so badly" I began crying again at my last words.
"What pregnancy?" I questioned.
"Oh you don't know, you're pregnant, and I can hear the faint heart beat, can't you?" right then I heard it. How could I have missed it? How could have I not felt it?
"Mom, I don't want him to know! I don't want my baby to go through the same thing I went trough." I pleaded. Mom lifted her frail hands shakily and touched my face.
"Don't worry, you can just cover it up with perfume, but it will be hard to hide it forever buy the last 2 months of your pregnancy I will send you away, and you will come back after the baby is born, then we'll keep her hidden. Away from your mate away from the bad people if this world." Mom promised I nodded and we spoke a little more truing to make myself forget about today.
After a few hours of talking mom fell asleep, and I, I went to my room, and lied down trying to get some rest. But all I could do was stare at the ceiling. I put my hand on my belly and let out a sigh. I thought about what would become if my baby and I, and rest assured I asleep listening to its faint and slow heartbeat, that brought me peace.
