Sabrina
It was like a memory loss. I couldn't remember what happened but I know I felt someone pull my hand as everything became blurry before me.
I just hope my child is okay.
The next thing I saw was these beaming lights and sounds from a machine that was beside
“Where the heck am I?” I muttered.
I didn't know where I was or what was happening, I just knew I felt pain in my stomach. "Sabrina, can you hear me?" I heard the doctor's voice slowly coming nearer and I fully opened my eyes.
"How are you feeling?" She asked and I pointed to my stomach.
"My… my… child,” I managed to say and the look on her face told me everything I needed to know.
I shook my head in denial as my whole world came crashing down.
“Oh no.”
"I'm sorry Sabrina, the fall affected the child!”
“We lost the baby,” She said.
I sat there crying for what felt like hours before I heard a gentle knock on the door. Ashley was standing there with a small basket with her and a bothered look.
"Sweetheart." She said as she walked in, pulling me into a hug. "I heard what happened. I am so sorry. Don't worry, I'm here for you okay?"
"Why, Ashley. Why?" I said as I sobbed in her arms. "Why do I have to live like this, why do I have to be the only one this is happening to? If you want to say you told me, go ahead and say so."
"Of course not sweetheart," She said, patting my back gently. "You've gone through enough already but I still think it's time to leave Lincoln now. I can't keep watching him hurt you and keep quiet."
"But I have nowhere to go. I have no one to turn to." I replied and she patted my hair.
"I'm always here for you, Sabrina. You can come to stay with me till you find a job and settle down."
"I brought you food and some fruits. The doctor said you can have them if you're able to eat them." She said, bringing out a bowl of food for me to eat.
"Thank you so much, Ashley. What would I do without you?" I said, cleaning the rest of my tears. Although I still felt pain in my stomach, I was really hungry at the same time.
"Come on sweetheart, don't cry now. I'm sure your baby will be safe wherever it is. Your child would be very proud of you if you don't hurt yourself more." She said and I nodded my head gently.
I'm done trying to make this relationship work while all he does is try to pull it apart. "I'll be back," Ashley said as she walked out of the room.
I couldn't wait for tomorrow to come so I could give Lincoln a piece of my mind. I sat there in bed in tears as I kept remembering the fact that I just lost a child I spent years seeking.
Morning came, and I didn't even wait for anyone to come pick me up, I packed the drugs I'd been given and headed home straight away.
The door was left open so I easily entered the house and I wondered why he didn't close the door at all.
I walked up the stairs leading to the room and my world started to crumble when I heard cries of pleasure and moans coming from the room.
I didn't want to believe that Lincoln was having s*x with another woman while he was still married to me.
I pushed the slightly opened door open and blood drained from my face as I saw my husband on another woman and the other woman was no one but my own best friend.
I fell to the ground on my knees and just then, the two of them noticed me. "How could you," I said in between my tears. "I trusted you, Ashley, how could you do this to me."
"I did nothing to you." She rolled her eyes as she stood from the bed. "I was only doing your husband a favor and satisfying him more than you ever would have thus past year he's been having me."
As she said that, I slapped her hard and Lincoln rushed over to her to check up on her. "You witch. I would have trusted you with my life, but this is how you treat me? By betraying me?"
"Do you think I ever cared? I only wanted your man and he wanted me back so I took what should be mine. You shouldn't be the one to have everything." She screamed and I laughed.
"Everything? Of course, that's what you will say, that I have everything. You are nothing but a…"
"That's enough, Sabrina," Lincoln yelled angrily as he walked over to the closet and flung a couple of documents at me. "Sign the papers and get the f**k out of my house this instant. Your bags are downstairs already."
"Ooh, so this is how it will be now right? No problem." I said with tears rolling down my eyes.
"All I ever did was love you with all my heart, Lincoln. Despite all your abuse, I stayed with you for five years. All you lay me with is killing my child and sleeping with someone I thought was my friend."
"Do I look like I care? And that child isn't mine. I never wanted a child with you so I got a vasectomy." He scoffed and hearing that, my already crashed world turned into dust.
For all these years, I've been crying and wanting to feel loved by him, thinking I would get it by having a child, not knowing he doesn't even want a child from me.
Just as I stepped out of his place and walked down the road, I suddenly heard this screeching sound behind me.
The next thing I saw was my vision being blurred out and I blacked out.
