The One Night Stand {An August Alsina Story}

Chapter 35.

Find Bethany.

"Yeah, Room 504. I'm sort of in a rush..." I said starting to panic.

What if I didn't reach her in time...

Something flashed in her eyes but she hid it quickly.

"Of course." She turned and pointed down the hall. "Just around the corner."

"Thank you." I started to run again when she wrapped her arms around my torso.

The fuck?

I pulled her off quickly.

"Um, what you doin?"

Her eyes widened.

"Oh you don't kno-"

Someone cried out and started screaming and she raced down the hall, turning the corner.

Around the corner.

Bethany!

I shot off after her.

Just as I turned the corner, I saw doctors and nurses rushing into a room.

What the hell is going on?

"We're losing her!" Someone yelled.

No.

Please no.

"Bethany!" I yelled from the hallway. "Bethany I'm coming baybeh!"

"August?" A voice called softly.

I looked around in confusion until I heard it again...

From the room beside the one the people rushed into.

Oh thank God.

I rushed into Room 504.

I stopped when I finally saw Bethany and I could practically feel my heart breaking.

She looked so sad.

Her eyes were puffy and her nose was pink.

Her hair was covered by a hair net but she was still beautiful to me.

She was laying on her side crying quietly.

"August?" She looked at me with tears in her eyes. "I didn't think you'd come."

"Of course I'm here. Oh my God. Baybeh what happened to you?" I said, walking to her.

She opened her mouth but started sobbing.

I quickly sat beside her on the bed and wrapped her in my arms.

What the hell happened?

I held her until her small body stopped shaking.

"A-aug." She whimpered and looked up at me, heartbroken.

I nodded her for her to continue.

"I'm sorry." She sighed. "If I had just stopped stressing so much, w-we-" She started crying again and I really started to get worried.

"What happened? Is the baby okay?" She looked away. "Bethany," My voice cracked. "Is the baby okay?"

I was praying to God she didn't confirm my fears.

Please God.

"I'm sorry, August." She said. "I-I miscarried."

I didn't move or blink.

Hell, I didn't even think I was breathing.

All I could do was hold her tight as those two dreaded words left her mouth and my tears mix with hers.

I cried for my son.

My son who wouldn't get the chance to grow up and see a happy family.

My son who never got a chance to enter the world.

Who I possibly killed.

Me.

I stressed Bethany out to the point that she miscarried our child.

I didn't know what to do with myself.

What was gonna happen to me?

But most importantly...

Would this be the thing that would take Bethany away from me forever?

••••••••

I walked in and smiled sadly at the young couple asleep on the bed.

Such nice people.

Miscarriages could really damage a relationship.

I just hope theirs survived.

I checked the woman's vitals and slipped away silently.

"Hey Anita." My friend Jasmine said as I took a seat at the nurses station. "It's a miracle isn't it?"

"Hi Jas." I raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

She nodded toward Room 504.

"That poor woman. Too bad one of her babies died." She shook her head. "It's just life I guess."

I nodded until her words sunk in.

"Wait did you say babies? As in two children?" My eyes widened.

She held up two fingers and spoke slowly.

"Yeah. Two kids. One of them just died." She went back to her phone leaving me in deep thought.

That poor woman...

I wonder if she knew she was still pregnant.

Okay sooo I felt bad I killed the baby soo...You're welcome!
