Chapter 12: The Future

Start from the beginning
                                        

Anger...Betrayal, Deception... What my life is all about.

This baby didn’t do anything to me, it didn’t ask to be conceived, It like myself is only a pawn in a much bigger game. That’s why this is the for the best. No need for the baby to live in pain too, one is enough as it is.

"Stop feeling so sorry for yourself"

I looked up and saw Matt in my mirror. I let out a murderous scream, the car swerved and I almost fell off the road. My heart was beating and my throat hurt from screaming.

"What the hell are you doing in the car Matt?, Hell how did you get in?"

I moved to the left side of the road and parked on the grass. Matt's face was scrunched up in a grimace, his eyes bulged out and his neck was twisted.

"What's wrong with your face?"

Matt moves his mouth in a circular motion and his face returned to normal then he popped his neck into place. “You know mates’ are supposed to be Mother Nature’s gift to weres’ but for the past few years it has not been fate that chooses our mates’ but something else, or in this case a few werewolves in particular."

Skeptical was written all over my face and seriousness all over his.

"What are you talking about?"

“How can you still not know! Laina pay attention! Stop being such a self-centered b* and realize that you’re not the only person being affected, how long and how much has to happen before you start figuring things out….God woman you’re slow!”

Matt shook his head at me and then gave me a 'wtf' is wrong with you look as if he didn't know.

“F* you Matt you don’t have a baby in you and besides not being able to be with your hoe I don’t see anything bad happening to you, so shut up! Plus you always give me coded messages why can’t you give the answer straight out like a normal person!” Anger was boiling in me and I had an overwhelming urge to start the car and then throw him out."

He rolled his eyes and then got serious again. He lifted his hand and pointed at my stomach.

"Don't forget to get rid of it and wake up"

"What?"

There was bright lights shining and a car honking in the distance,. I felt something smooth and rubbery under my head, my arms were at my heads side. My head groggy and I felt dizzy. I lifted my head and realized that the rubbery thing was my steering wheel .

Remembering where I was, I lifted my head all the way and looked on to the road there was a car headed right at me it was swerving as if the driver was drunk. The car was getting closer and I realized that is it wasn’t there car that was swerving but mine. The car kept honking and honking, and I swerved to the left, then to the right. I finally managed to get the car under control but the person kept honking until they passed me and the guy in the car flicked me off.

Then I realized that my GPS kept saying ‘you have arrived’ and sure enough up ahead was the Lexington welcome sign.

I turned and parked my car at the Welcoming Center. The town was small but I had never been here before and I didn’t know where the Hospital was. I walked in and the lady greeted me and asked if I needed any help.

"Um where's the hospital?"

The lady gave a small chuckle and then covered her mouth with her hand but kept laughing.

“Oh dear there is no such thing as a hospital here, we’re too small for that” The lady waved her hand in the air and gave me a funny look.

“But there’s the Baby Care Center and our own small medical hall where minor things are treated but not a Hospital! My lord no we go to the city for that” The lady kept smiling to herself and she kept giving me this bemused look."

"What's the baby care center for?"

Again the lady waved her hand in the air and shaked her head disapprovingly "You're mighty young for that and I doubt you need it"

In the flattest tone I said "Amuse me"

The lady gave me a pointed stare and shrugged as if deciding that telling me wasn't going to kill her "It's for expecting mothers or people who want to get rid of their babies, which sadly our state allows, now me on the other hand"

I cut her off mid sentence "Where did you say the baby center was"

"I didn't" The lady said with her lips out in a frown and her eyebrow raised.

I raised my own eyebrow, shook my head and leaned forward. She rolled her eyes “It's behind the post office, do you know where the post office is?"

I had seen the post office on my way to the Welcoming Center. I contemplated leaving my car in the Welcoming Center but that lady probably will look inside it or steal it. I hopped into the car and drove for about two minutes before I got to the post office and sure enough behind it was a small grayish building with the words ’Baby Care’ in the front and everyone welcomed. It sure did not look like a very welcoming place.

I parked and stopped the car and then sat in my car for awhile. A million questions were running through my mind. The most prominent one was 'Should I really do this?' I probably stayed in that car for an hour thinking, and crying and banging my head on the steering wheel before I finally made my mind up.

I took the keys out of the ignition and got out of the car. I stood beside it for a bit before finally locking it and then walking towards the door. More thinking and procrastinating.

"Are you going in?"

A girl about fifteen stood in front of me while holding the door open. “If not, could you get out of the way so that I can leave”

I kept staring at her but I didn’t really see her I saw myself, young, pregnant and alone.

"Hello?" The girl was now waving her free hand in my face.

"Yeah sorry" I stepped aside but she didn't leave.

“I’m holding the door for you” she said and her face was twisted into a frown, one eye raised as if she thought I was stupid.

I nodded " Right, Thanks"

I took a deep breath and then took my first shaky steps to a better future.

My Future.
