Stolen moments

Chapter 55

I stare blankly at the plain walls, the plain white walls of the hospital. Who would have ever thought i would be a regular customer of this scary, dead place. Now i know the reason why people detest the hospital.

I stare at the IV in my wrist. I place my hand on my stomach, my mind going back to what happened after the court verdict.

Flashback......

She sat down looking scared and lost as her mother called her but she was so far away from there.

"Leah!" She jumps in surprise as she turns to look at her mother, her eyes looks red with tears and...  this was all her fault.

"Are you alright?" Mrs McCartney asked her in concern. She nods inhaling.

They lost the case. Amara tried everything but her work was all futile. This was the first time this happened in many years of her being a lawyer. She refused to obey her husband but it seems everyone was afraid of the Banerio's.

The doctor who treated Leah and who could have testified in court was on the run, those who saw Antonio and Leah on that same night refused  to come out. The case just turned messy.

"Let's get out of here" Emilia mumbles, she stood up as Amara grabbed her files and suitcase, i stood up but stopped when i felt a sharp stab in my stomach, i gasp clutching my stomach as it fades away.

"Leah, what's wrong, is everything okay?" My mum asks looking worried.

"Yeah yeah... Am alright" they both look at me in concern. "Yeah let's go"

We walked out of the empty court room, i saw Rosalia being dragged on the  arm by Matt as Max waited for them. She looks mad, her face relaxed as soon as she saw me. Why was she being pulled by my brother.

I stood abruptly as soon as i saw him, fear gripped my heart at the sight of the monster who torments me every night. He stares deeply at me from afar, he was standing with some guy i never saw before and his father, not his usual crowd. He opens his mouth like he was trying to say something, but he turns to his father who was talking to him. 

I felt that stab again. I groaned as i clutch my stomach, feeling intense pain due to another stab, I gasped.

"Leah?! What's wrong?!" My mum eyes widen in horror as i felt something wet running down my leg. "Leah!" My mum cried out as Max runs towards us.

I looked shocked at the trail of blood going down my legs, the pain was not helping, i started feeling dizzy. All i remember is collapsing in some one arms.

Flashback ends...

I woke in the hospital. I had a miscarriage... I had been pregnant for four weeks... I laughed, seriously four weeks, don't you find it funny... No wonder i have been moody lately, along with me throwing up. That animal left his seed in me.

My mother must have noticed it. I remember her feeling my boobs telling me its bloated. I waved it off finding it funny, she also asked me when last i saw my period but i waved the idea off again telling her it was due to stress. I refused to go for a test, i was scared.

My fear cost the life of a poor soul because the doctor told me it was due to stress and my poor nutrition that made me lost the baby... My baby. I feel like a murderer.

I don't care the circumstances which i conceived it... I would have kept it. I sniffed as silent tears streamed from my eyes as I felt for my empty stomach with my hands. Where did i go wrong?
