I could call ht now, so the last thing Lynette needs is irl

I can't call my friends because they're not the kind of people ould spare even five minutes to help anyone else but themselves, even more so since I married Jett He's not one of them They're shallow, and I have no idea why I was ever friends with them in the first place

Abrianna is out of the country with her family, and Tony isn't around either I don't want Lorenzo aroundbusiness while my brother isn't around, and only because Jett promised I'd be okay with him

I feel so alone right now

The only other person I can call is Willow She told o that if I ever needed her for anything, then all I have to do is call, and she'll be here, but if Haht not let her talk to ht now

I close my eyes when I hear Ha typical is that? He still fucking hates me, and I still don't understand why I have tried so hard to understand what it is about me that he doesn't like To understand why he's formed a relationship with Draven but not me Am I really such a bad person?

It has played on my mind so much since the first moment we met, and he looked at me like I was filth on his boot Months have passed, and nothing has changed Even now, I know he isn't going to be happy that it'sto ask why he's answering Willow's phone, he is her husband and has every right to do so

“Hi Um, it's Maria I just wondered if Willoas there?”

“No” Short and mean

“Kay Thanks anyway” My voice cracks on the last word I was trying to be strong, but fuck being strong right now, I' with , to tell me it will all be okay

I hear hih deeply down the line, and it breaks my heart to think this man could hateto kill me

“She's with her mother Left her phone behind” He tells me

“It's okay It doesn't matter Thank you for”

“What's the matter, Maria?” He sounds put out I think there's concern in there soh It see

“I just ondered if Willow If she ht come to the hospital with me I wouldn't have ca-called, but I don't have anyone else right now” I wipe the tears froh my emotions I want hi mess on the line

“Hospital? What for?”

I s hard, audibly so “I haven't felt my baby move since yesterday I tried to call Jett, but he's not answering, and Draven isn't here, and I I'm so scared”

“I'm on my way Five minutes and I'll be with you”

“No, it's okay, I can go by myself”

“Five ht hateto leave me to worry Maybe he doesn't hate me after all

More like he's not the kind of nant woman scared for her unborn baby's life You could have been any woman in the world, Maria He would have done it for anyone

I pull h to be ready for Hammer to pick me up in his truck a few entleman would He asks if I'ht in the eye, and for the first tiive his little sister The saotten from Draven had he been here I nod my head to let him know I'm fine and turn away from him

Haets me to the hospital in next to no time Helps me out of the truck, and loopsIt feels strange being this close to hi over to the sister of Draven Vidal, that this hugebrother, the brother of Don Vidal Her eyes almost pop out of her head However, she rushes me into a private room
