Chapter 9


    Rivers P.O.V


    I do not know how I was living in these past few weeks. I could not sleep at all and every time I would


    close my eyes I would remember that horrifying night and would wake up with sweat dripping down my


    neck.


    My brother did the surgery about two weeks ago and now we are doing sessions of chemotherapy. I


    honestly can not wait until the doctor tells me I can take him home because all the hell I have been


    through would be worth seeing my little brother smile.


    I was daydreaming of that day when I was interrupted by the ring of my phone. I looked at the caller ID


    only to realize it was the devil''s spawn. I battled myself on whether or not I should answer because I


    really did not want to talk to him but in the end I did.


    "Hello," I said with venom in that one word because I honestly wanted to jump on the phone and kill


    him. Then watch his blood fill the ground.


    "My mother and Diana want to talk to you."He replied, in an emotionless way which caused me to burst


    immediately into mes.


    "Ok, why the hell are you telling me this," I yelled.


    "Because I''ming to pick you up and watch your tone around Diana. If you keep talking like that


    eventually she will find out and if she does I will be using that same tone with you."He barked, causing


    me to huff a deep breath.


    "Alright, I am at the house your Mom rented, "I informed him because I did not want to continue this


    conversation any longer or I think the minute he arrives I will murder him. Day by day minute by minute


    hate has filled my heart towards that man.


    "Ok fifteen minutes and I will be there."He replied, in a harsh tone. I hope he dies somehow before


    these fifteen minutese. Ahh, this man is going to give me a stroke before I even have his baby


    imagine after I probably might as wellmit suicide.


    I walked to my closet and began to search for my clothes. I was going for I hope you go to hell Ethan


    look. In the end, I went for a red v neck blouse with a pair of blue jeans and a blue cardigan because it


    was starting to get cool.


    I heard a honk.


    Man, he''s not dead yet oh well maybe the next time around. I put on red ts, grabbed my handbag,


    and my iPhone and ran for the door. He acted as if he were a gentleman by opening the passenger


    seat door for me but I did not buy it and besides I did not want to sit next to him. So I went to sit in the


    back. If I was going to forgive him it was going to take a lot of begging.


    "So how are you doing."He asked, staring into the rear view mirror but I turned away as soon as I

    noticed.


    "Fine until you showed up." I scorned, rolling my eyes.


    "Any signs of pregnancy."He asked, motioning with his hand in the air. In my head, I was thinking of


    taking his hands and breaking them off that instant.


    "No, not really, "I replied, shaking my head.


    "What do you mean?"He asked, in confusion.


    "I mean I threw up yesterday but other than that no," I said, with an attitude clear in my tone.


    "I do not know if that''s good news or bad news."He replied, ring in my direction and I couldn''t help


    but roll my eyes.


    Ethan''s POV


    "What the hell do you mean?"She yelled.


    You are kidding right I mean it''s like this girl does not own a damn brain.


    "I mean Diana and my mother are going to make you take tests to see if you''re pregnant yet. They


    have been hovering over my head for the past two weeks it''s just I tried to avoid it for both our sakes." I


    said, staring at her in the rearview mirror. I mean she can be a pain the ass but she was beautiful. The


    way her wavy blonde hair cascaded along her shoulders gave me chills just thinking about running my


    hands through it but I was so caught up in her reflection that I forgot we''re talking.


    "Hello...Earth to Ethan...Earth to Ethan can you read me, Ethan?"She yelled.


    She can not let me sink in my thoughts just for a millisecond. Man, she is aggravating.


    "Yes, I can hear you River. You do not have to yell." I hissed and she rolled her eyes.


    "Ok but I have to see my brother after so we have to make it quick."Shemanded.


    "You have a brother, "I asked because I was generally confused I thought mother said she did not have


    anyone?


    "Yes his name is Aiden and he small so you do not have to worry about him kicking your ass."She


    chuckled, and I smiled back. This was honestly the first time she ever smiled and her smile was


    beautiful.


    "No, it''s just my mother said you do not have anyone so that is why I asked but my mother is always full


    of surprises something you will figure out along the way." I smiled and she did too but then her phone


    rang which ruined the moment.


    "Hello."She answered, smiling and then the smile faded as quick as it was stitched. She furrowed her


    eyebrows and a worried look shed on her face. The phone slipped from her hands and a tear stroked


    her olive colored cheek.


    I immediately stopped the car on the side of the highway and took a seat next to her.


    "Are you ok?"I asked stroking her arm lightly.


    All she did was a nod and look at me withplete innocence. Her forest green eyes were filled with


    pain, pain that was indescribable. Her eyes were filled with more pain than anyone can possibly hold at


    one moment.


    "I have to go to the hospital?"She sobbed and slid past me to get out.


    "Why?"


    "My mother...her heart...got tired and now she is in... the hospital and me - I have to go."She walked


    out but I grabbed her wrist which caused her to stumble on me. Her eyes met mine and for a split


    second, I could see how pure her heart was. I could see and read her more clearly than ever but she


    got up quickly and I did as well.


    "I can go by myself. I do not need your help and I do not want my mother to see you."She rambled,


    pointing her finger towards my chest.


    "But-"I tried to reason with her but of course being as stubborn as always she interrupted.


    "No."She replied, quickly to quick.


    God this women is stubborn as hell. I honestly praise the man that is going to put up with her and I am


    d it''s not me.


    "Just let me take you please," I begged, her eyes met mine for a split second but she quickly averted


    my gaze and looked directly at the ground.
