Now and Forever novel Chapter 40

Long story short: Alexander remembered what happened on Saturday and that I lied to him about it so now he's currently not talking to me.

When did he remember? Well my friends, he remembered on Monday when he was in a meeting, with his parents if I may add.

Imagine having a conversation with your parents and memories of you doing *ahem* you know what, come rushing back into your head. What would you do?

What day is it today? It's Wednesday and it's getting lonely without having someone to talk to in the house- I mean, even more lonely than it usually is. My life officially sucks.

"Hi Amelia!" Charlotte greeted when I walked up to her desk. "Hi Charlotte," I smiled at her and looked in the direction of Alexander's office, "is Alexander in?" I looked back at her and asked.

"No sorry, he just left." She is a horrible liar.

"Did he really?" I tilted my head to the side and raised an eyebrow, pursing my lips in the process.

"Ugh! Okay fine! He's in but he told me not to let you in." Her face contorted into one of guilt.

"Please?" I pleaded, using the puppy dog eyes against her, "fine! You can go in."

"Thank you so much."

I walked up to his door and held my hand up, contemplating wether to do it or not. Guess what? I did it.

"Charl- what are you doing here?" His eyes immediately diverted back to his laptop, completely ignoring my presence.

"I came here to apologize." I walked towards his desk and sat down. "For the sleeping part or the lying part?" He asked and didn't even bother looking up at me.

"For the- wait, it wasn't my fault what happened that night did so why are you blaming me for it?" He sighed and looked up at me, taking off his glasses and setting them on the desk.

"Okay fine; we were both drunk and whatever happened wasn't supposed to happen so it was nobody's fault." What made me mad was that he said the last sarcastically, like he was still blaming me for what happened.

"You know what? I came here to apologize for lying to you but guess what? I. Don't. Care." With that said, I stood up and stormed out of his office, annoyed with myself for even trying to be the bigger person.

Oh shit not again.

I immediately jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom as soon as I could when the well known burning sensation in my throat woke me up. Again.

I heaved up everything from last nights dinner into the toilet bowl, groaning in disgust when I was done.

"It's been fourteen days. That's two whole weeks you've been heaving up your dinner."

"I am so not in the mood for this right now Alexander." I flushed and stood up, immediately feeling nauseous again.

And like before, I threw up again.

"What time is it anyway?" I stood up and flushed.

"It's 4 am." Shocker.

I put toothpaste on the toothbrush and rinsed my mouth before brushing my teeth.

"You should go see a doctor for that." With that said, he turned around and walked back to bed.

*Later in the afternoon*

"This is really stupid Bella." I said in a sing song voice.

"Just pee in the damn thing and hurry up. I don't have all day."

"It's Saturday, you do have all day."

"It just seemed like the right thing to say now hurry up."

"Done." I put the pregnancy test on the counter and washed my hands after I flushed.

"We just have to wait three minutes now." And so we waited.

"And... the three minutes are done!" I grabbed the pregnancy test before Bella could and read the results.

"See?! I'm not pregnant!" I showed Bella the single line on the pregnancy test.

"It might be wrong."

"What? Just like the other 3 we tried? I think not."

Oh what a wonderful day this has been..

*2 weeks later Sunday afternoon*

"We need to sort out our issues because this is getting old." I walked into Alexander's study and and slammed his laptop shut. "Come on in why won't you?" His sarcastic ass responded.

"We're adults but have been acting like stupid teenagers so-" I shook my head when my vision blurred a little but luckily came back to normal, "*ahem* we need to act like-"

And everything went pitch black.

***

The strong smell of aseptic hit my nostrils, making me flutter my eyes open.

"Amelia?" The familiar voice of Bella came from my side. I slowly turned to where her voice came from but flinched when I piercing shot of pain ran through my head.

"Don't move your head too much." She put her hand on my forehead and slowly helped me turn my head to face her.

"Why does my head hurt so much?" I slowly reached up to touch the spot where the pain was coming from but got stopped by someone else.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Delilah? What is she- wait, am I in the hospital?

"Delilah?" I turned my head in the other direction and indeed spotted Delilah writing down something on the chart in her hands.

"Why shouldn't I touch- better yet, why am I in the hospital?" I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, looking around the room.

"What's the last thing you remember?"

"Umm.. I remember walking into Alexander's study and saying we need to work out some things and from then on, everything is blank." Delilah nodded and wrote something down on her whatever it is.

"You my friend, have a concussion from a fainting spell you had earlier on today."

"Fainting spell?" I asked and she nodded, "Why in the world would I have a fainting spell?"

"Tell me Amelia; do you know what this is?" She pulled out a paper from underneath all of the ones she was holding and held it up to me.

"Umm.. yeah, that's an ultrasound." I seriously do not know where this is going but I wouldn't want to find out either.

"Then tell me; why you haven't been taking care of yourself?" Taking care of my- hold on..
