Full Moon Curse (by Dream) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104

We drive for a full day, before we stop for gas. We don’t talk, I think we both needed a moment to catch up our brains with our actions.

He steps out of the car and goes to the pump. I ask him if he needs anything from inside, because I’m definitely getting a pregnancy test. I go inside gathering all our snack and drinks and then run them out to the car, telling him I’m going to go to the bathroom. I can see him looking around, checking our surroundings, even though he doesn’t know what he’s looking for.

I walk around the gas station to the bathroom around the side. It’s gross and ugly, but I don’t have time to concern myself with it. I take the pregnancy test and set it down, waiting. What am I going to do, if I am? Will they be in as much trouble as me? Will they have to run to? Or would I be able to leave them with Liam? Liam, I wish he were here. I wish he could hold me right now and tell me everything’s going to be okay.

I look down at the test and my heart sinks. Two pink lines appear, I’m pregnant.

I’m pregnant. No. How do I do this? How do I run while pregnant? This can’t be happening.

I walk out of the bathroom in a daze, clutching onto the test like my life depends on it. I slowly walk to a payphone that’s beside the gas station, I didn’t know these things still existed. I dial the number of the one person who needs to know this news, Liam. I look at the test while the phone rings, I guess to see if it changes. The phone rings twice before my heart starts beating frantically at the sound of his voice, “Liam.” He says, but I can’t speak. I can hardly breath. “Hello?” He sounds like he’s getting angry. He takes a deep breath, “Amy?” I can hear the hopefulness in his voice.

I can’t tell him. He’ll never stop looking for me, if he knows I’m carrying his kids. It’ll put everybody in danger. I can’t do this; I can’t make him even more tense about me being gone. He needs to move on, and he never will if I tell him. “Amy, please say something. Where are you? I’ll come get you. Please come home.” My silent tears start falling at his words. I want to go home; I want to go home so bad.

I can’t. “Amy, please.” I close my eyes and slowly hang up the phone. I can’t go home, not until it’s safe. Not until my dad is dead. I need to fix this, so I can go home.

I slowly walk around the building, to the car. I see Nick eyeing me worriedly, but I just get into the passenger seat while he jumps into the driver’s seat. He looks over at me and sighs loudly, putting the car in drive and taking off.

་་

After an hour of him secretly looking down at my hands, that are still clutching on to the test, he finally speaks, ” Amber? Are you pregnant?” My eyes shoot up to his, I can feel the tears wanting to start falling again. “My name isn’t Amber,” I decide to tell him, if he wants to be apart of this, then he needs to know what he’s getting himself into. He looks down, “Yeah, I figured. What is it?” He asks nicely, seemingly not mad that I lied. “Amy.” He nods and looks back down at my hands. “Yeah, I’m pregnant.”

After I tell him I’m pregnant, I tell him my entire story while he drives. He just listens. I tell him about werewolves, my dad, my friends, Liam. Everything I say, should make him run for the hills, but he just sits and accepts everything I say. After hours of explanation, the car goes silent. I give him time to digest everything I told him. There’s no reason for him to believe me. I could understand why a human wouldn’t believe that the supernatural exist. Maybe he’ll think I’m crazy and not want to help me anymore. He slows down and pulls up into a motel parking lot and looks over at me. “Okay, that was… a lot… But I still want to help you. Let’s rest for a little while and then we’ll drive for a little while longer and try to find a new place to hide out. Okay?” I nod, not

really believing he still wants to help me.

We get a room and walk inside. I instantly run to the bathroom really needing a shower. I start undressing and start noticing scraps and bruises all over my body. My knees are bloody, and the pain starts to hit me. With everything that happened I didn’t really take in the pain of the assault. The pregnancy and running had taken my mind off it. I want to go home; I want to be wrapped in Liam’s arms. I want to take in his scent until my body feels numb. I hate this with every fiber of my being.

I get into the shower and cleanse my entire body, trying like hell to remove any evidence of the past two days. When I get out, I feel better. The blood isn’t washed over my skin and the pain isn’t as bad. I wrap myself in a towel and walk into the room, headed for my suitcase.

Once I’m dressed, I lay down on one of the twin beds, the one further away from the door. Nick already occupy’s the other and he turns on his side to face me. “Why are you helping me?” I ask, quietly. He seems to think about it, “Honestly, I just have a feeling you need my help.” I chuckle, “There’s a lot to risk on a feeling.” He smiles, ” It’s a strong feeling.”
