“Can you take me to Patricks?” Joe shot me a look from the corner of his eye as he pulled out of the hospital parking lot.
“Are you sure Lex?”
“He won’t be there. I need to get my stuff and I need your help”
“Alright. Where you gonna go after?”
“Back to the Hurley’s I guess. Gotta find my own place. I’m too old to be at home still” I muttered looking out the window as the scenery flew past in a blur.
“You can crash at mine if you want?”
“I don’t think that’s the best idea. Thanks though... Can I be honest with you a second?”
“I’m scared but okay” He chuckled.
“I fuckin hated you since the day I met you. But your kinda my only friend in the world right now. How fuckin’ sad am I?” I laughed nervously before the tears slid down my face. “I can’t have kids Joe. I’ll never have a family. I’m a stripper with no education and I’ve fucked up any chance I ever had of having a proper relationship.”
Joe pulled the car off the road before pulling me over to him and wrapping his arms around me as I cried into his shirt.
“If we’re being honest Alex, I thought you were the worst thing to happen to my group of friends when all this shit started. But you could have done nothing to stop any of this. Andy and Patrick were playing you against each other. And I’m glad you see me as a friend Lex.” He rubbed my back while my sobs calmed down. I eventually sat up and slid back over to my seat.
“Thanks Joe” I smiled as I looked out the window again. “Can I stay at yours?”
“Any time Lex” He smiled back as he pulled back out into the line of traffic.
“And Alex, you haven’t fucked up anything. It’s not too late to go to college. Your still young and your life’s only really beginning now”
“Woah, that’s deep coming from you Joe.”
“I’ve got some pearls of wisdom stored up here somewhere” He grinned tapping his temple. “They just don’t get out to play as often as they should”
“Joe?”
“Yeah Lex?”
“Don’t tell anyone I cried… People will think I actually have feelings and or tear ducts. That’s embarrassing.” I smiled.
“No bother” he laughed as he pulled into the under ground parking of Patricks flat. I let myself in using my key before darting to the bedroom and grabbing the suitcase from under the bed. I grabbed handfuls of my clothes and threw them in, not bothering to fold as I went. I shoved all my make-up into my handbag before pulling a notepad out of Patrick’s dresser drawer. I sat on the bed and chewed on the end of the pen while I figured out what to write. I curled my legs under me as I began to write.
Patrick,
I know you hate me and that’s okay. I understand and you have every reason to hate me. I just want you to know that I did love you. Even if how I acted didn’t seem like that. I owe you my life and you’ll never know how much I appreciate that. I need you to know, she was yours. The baby that nearly killed me was yours. I got my patient file to prove it to you.
Alex
I tore the page out and placed it on top of the file. I smoothed down the bed clothes before I laid it down. I grabbed my suitcase and rolled it out into the hall.
“Joe?” I called out. He wasn’t by the door where I left him. I wandered into the sitting room where I saw him standing by the sofa looking at something.
“What are you lo-?” I caught sight of what he was looking at and my stomach jumped into my throat. Blood smeared the armchair and the floor. I dry heaved as I backed away from it. Joe turned around and shoved me from the room. He sat me down in the hall and told me to stay. He pushed my head down between my legs and ordered me to breath. My stomach rolled as I took deep breaths. A few minutes later the smell of bleach burned my nostrils. I got up and tested my legs. When I was sure they’d hold me up I made my way back to the sitting room. Joe was on his hands and knees scrubbing the blood from the floor. Without a word I grabbed a brush and dropped down next to him to help.
“Alex, go back to the hall”
“I’m fine now” I murmured scrubbing at the dried blood. I didn’t hear the front door open or close and I didn’t hear him come into the room.
“What the fuck are you doing in my flat?” He snapped making me jump. Joe and I scrambled up from the floor.
“I just came to get my stuff and clean up a bit” I muttered.
“Look dude, we’re just about to leave. We cleaned the mess the best we could.”
“Jesus, she got you too” He snapped at Joe.
“No Trick. Don’t do this now man, it’s far from that.”
“Sure whatever you say, cause its really believable. This girl is a whore, don’t forget that.”
“Too far Patrick. You have no fucking clue what shes going through now” Joe snapped as I pushed passed Patrick into the hall.
“I’ll be in the car” I shouted back to Joe before running from the apartment. There was no way I was letting two people see me cry today.
Joes POV
“Seriously Trick. What the hell?!” I hissed as the front door slammed.
“She cheated on me with my best friend Joe”
“You only went out with her to get at Andy Patrick. Your no fucking better man. You never loved her and you made her think you did. And don’t forget you cheated on her with her best friend too.” I shoved past him as I headed for the front door. I turned back to face him before I left.
“She nearly died yesterday. She lost YOUR child and now she can never have kids so don’t you dare give her a hard time anymore. You fucked her up enough for one lifetime. Now stay the hell away.” I jabbed a finger at his chest, shoving him back before I slammed the door behind me too.
When I got back to the car, Alex was sitting in the passenger side as if nothing happened. The only way you could tell something was wrong with her was the little crescent shaped cuts her nails made in the soft skin of her forearms. I pulled her hands from her arms and laid them on her lap before shutting my door and putting the car in drive.
“Its okay to be upset.” I said quietly as we drove to my place.
“I know” she said simply. I let it drop. She’d talk when shes ready.
Patricks POV
I dropped the file back onto the bed and the pages scattered all over the place. I lost a child yesterday. I slid down the wall to sit on the floor. I felt like a fucking douche for the way I treated Alex. If I feel like this then how must she feel. I can have more kids if I want, she can’t. My heart broke for her and somewhere deep inside the flood gates opened and I cried for my child that I would never meet.
I saw every mistake I ever made with Alex laid out in black and white. I systematically ruined her life and pushed her away.
From the first time I kissed her to the first time I lied to her and told her I loved her. Just to hurt Andy. I was a fuckin horrible person and I ruined a young girls life just for some petty revenge plot.
