The Confused One

Episode 11

I tried calling out for help but my throat  was closing in and as well as not being able to speak I was struggling to take in a single breath making me feel lightheaded.

The only thing I could think about was my baby’s health.

It only took minutes for me to black out.

Lucas’s POV

I was zoned out of whatever Joana had been saying as I was bored out of my mind, I still smiled and nodded but I wasn’t listening to a single thing she was saying.

I looked around the room and noticed the Wells family all in a panic.

They are a bunch of gangsters it takes quite a bit to get them panicked so something had to be seriously wrong.

I started to feel unsettled with the thought that something was wrong.

The sound of an ambulance left me alarmed.

I couldn’t really see what was going on as everyone was crowed together and it was blocking my vision of what was happening.

Everyone around the other tables looked worried too.

The only person who isn’t looking worried is Joana, she’s doesn’t stop talking about herself.

I get up of my seat and heard Joana start complaining but I ignored her.

Once I got close enough to see what was happening paramedics started to rush into the restaurant.

Charlie my best friend since kids was holding a knocked out Charlotte in his arms.

I started panicking.

The paramedics got Charlotte on a stretcher and started lifting her up rushing out.

I as well as all the Wells ran after then to the ambulance.

They placed her down and started doing their work.

One of the paramedics came up to us and said.

“We have to get her to a hospital this instance to make sure both mother and baby are well, if someone wants to come along they can however only one family member is allowed.” 

“I’ll go im her twin brother.” Said Charlie and his family agreed to let him on.

I am not a family member to Charlotte so I wouldn’t be allowed in but I need to go to make sure she and my baby are ok so I said the only thing that would get me on the ambulance.

Probably the one thing that well get me 6 feet under too.

“I’m going, I’m the baby’s father.” 

I heard gasps around me but ignored everything and got onto the ambulance.

No one tried to stop me as they were all in shock.

I got into the ambulance and watched Charlotte with worry.

I hadn’t seen her in a while so today I was quite shocked by the size of her bump.

Charlotte is going to be so pissed when she finds out her family knows I’m the baby’s father.

Joana is going to be pissed too when she finds out I left her to go with a woman I got pregnant during our engagement dinner but I really don’t give two f***s.

I know I’m not supposed to claim the baby as mine and I know that I have been a complete d**k for ignoring Charlotte.

I couldn’t stand watching her raise my baby by herself and I couldn’t stand to have her find someone else to raise my baby with her.

I know she would never accept to have me in the baby’s life as we had a deal so to stop myself from messing up her plans I changed mine.

I got engaged to give myself a reason to leave Charlotte alone.

I’m not marring Joana.

I can’t.

She’s the most annoying thing I’ve ever met and I could not spend my life with her especially because she’s not the person i want to spend my life with.

The ride to the hospitals took an eternity I was trying to figure out what they were practicing on Charlotte.

Once we got to the hospital they rushed Charlotte in, I tried to go after them but I was pulled back by a nurse who was asking me questions that I really have to time for.

“Sir what’s your wife’s full name?” 

“She’s not my wife, her full name is Charlotte Sofia Wells.” I answered.

“What’s your relationship to miss Wells.” The nurse asked me with a flirt in her voice, I looked at her like wtf.

“I’m the father to our unborn child.” I told her annoyed and watched disappointment appear in her face.

“How far along is miss Wells pregnancy?” The nurse asked going back to being professional.

“Four months.” I said.

“Can I leave now?” I asked and left without waiting for the nurse to answer.

I followed the path where I saw them taking Charlotte.

After a while I couldn’t see where they had went so I asked a couple of people until I was standing in front of a room arguing with a doctor who wouldn’t let me through.

They said since we weren’t married they couldn’t let me in as she might not accept that.

I was pissed and worried.

Pissed with the stupid hospital rules and worried for Charlotte and my baby.
