Chapter 44 Pregnant 3

Chapter 44 Pregnant 3
Pregnant 3
Lila’s POV

There seemed to be a soap opera going on. And I was standing right in the middle of it all. Cause tell me why Rena was glaring at my brother who had a deep longing look on his face.

I hoped it wasn’t what I was thinking.

Ethan slowly made his way to her and stood by her bed side. Such a funny moment really.

“Is it ours? Am I the father?” He asked her in a calm manner.

What the actual heck!!!!!!!

“Both of you had sex?!!!” I stared at the both of them with wide eyes. This was something I had never imagined.

I had nearly accompanied my best friend to abort my possible niece or nephew. I couldn’t control my rage as I stormed to Rena and shoved Ethan away.

“Rena who is the father of your baby?” I prayed to the heavens that she wouldn’t say the words I dreaded to hear. I would trade the answer I dreaded with basically everything as long as I didn’t hear it from her mouth.

But it seems the heavens happened to be against me.

“He is the one. He’s the father”

Her hushed cries filled the room as I staggered back. Every fiber of my being screaming with disgust. And anger.

And an emotion which was new yet foreign; hate.

For her to insist on aborting the baby, I didn’t need a smooth sayer to tell me that the sex wasn’t on a mutual agreement. And why didn’t she trust me enough to tell me the truth.

She knew I was against this. Heck I have been judging myself ever since we left her apartment.

I tried convincing myself that I was being a good friend. That I was helping her. And the worst part was that I had asked myself; if I had been told that the child belonged to my own brother, whether I would agree to bring her here?

And as shocking as it might be, I would have brought her. I would have taking her far away from him if I had found out.

“So it was payback huh? My brother got you pregnant so you drag me to abort it with you knowing how much guilt I would be filled with? Was it fun for you? Watching me nearly break down but still managing to keep it all afloat for you? To be the support you needed? What a friend you are.” I yelled out as tears filled my eyes and I didn’t bother to hold them back.

“Do not talk to her like that!!”

My brother rushed to me and slapped me.

Oh yes, Ethan Monroe raised his hands on his sister for the girl who was sitting on a hospital bed. Ready to pull away the seed he planted in her like it was nothing.

I raised my hand to my left cheek where the pain stung. He had used enough strength and didn’t bother holding back when delivering the blow. I could hear a slight ringing in my ear as I watched the both of them.

My brother and my best friend.

Two people I trusted the most were right in front of me and I had never felt like a stranger more than I did right now.

Ethan seemed to have something to say but I didn’t care less as I walked out on the both of them.

“Lila wait”

I ignored Rena’s call and barged out of the clinic, covering my head with my hoodie. But it seemed today was destined to be done for me as I bumped into the press immediately I got outside.

“Miss Monroe, rumors are that your current movie is about to be ranked. Is that true?”

“Miss Monroe, is it true you fucked one of the investors to land the lead role?”

“Miss Monroe, cast members say you often sneak out at night to meet a mysterious person. And thing you would like to say on this?”

“Miss Monroe…. Lila Monroe…. Is this it? Is this that?”

Their voices seemed to be drowning as they all closed in on me. Who the fuck had told them about my location?

I hurriedly entered my car and zoomed off. I shouldn’t have left my house today. I should have just stayed put. I shouldn’t have come here.

But most of all, I shouldn’t have trusted either of them.

My tears ran down my cheeks as I seemed to have lost all strength to hold them in. Where had it all gone wrong?

Why didn’t Rena trust me enough with the truth? Did she think I wouldn’t support her? That I would side with my brother?

Why did she make me bring her here knowing fully well that I was indirectly aiding the abortion of my own relative?

Was it all a huge unplanned coincidence or did she do it out of spite?

And then there was Ethan. The brother who had supported me from day one. Who had never even raised his voice at me. Had raised his hands on me simply because I had voiced my opinion to my own best friend.

Scratch that, my manager. There was no way in hell a best friend could do what Rena had done.

I laughed at myself for being too easy. For being me. First it was Adrian’s family.

Then my very first movie as lead actress which was slowly sinking.

And now my best friend was pregnant with my brothers child and had hidden it from me while I drove her to a clinic to have the baby aborted.

Also the fact that my brother had hidden the same fact from me and not only that had raised his hands to slap me all for the same person.

My phone rang out as I stared at the screen. Seeing it was Ethan, I muted the call and drove faster to where I didn’t know. I had no destination in mind. The only thing I knew was that I needed to get far away from here.

A place where no one knew me. A more peaceful place.

I needed away.

My phone continued ringing and I angrily picked it up without looking at the caller.

“Leave me the fuck alone Ethan Monroe” I cut the call as I threw my phone out the window.

My biggest mistake was not keeping my eye on the road. If I did, I would have seen the truck that was making it’s way towards me. It was too late.

The collision was expected. I covered my face with my hands as my car swirled across the road before finally tumbling.

I could feel the shards of glass sinking into my skin.

How pathetic.

I could hear people screaming as I watched the truck sped off.

The last thing I remembered , the trucks plate number.

And then…

Total darkness.
