“You love her?” Brody asks, sounding irritated.
“Shit,” Liam curses again, “Can you two leave and give Haley and me a few minutes to talk?”
“No, I want to hear what the fuck you have to say,” Brody yells.
“Stop, let them have a few minutes, then we can come back in and figure things out,” Kenzie says.
“Fine,” Brody says before he storms out of the room with Kenzie right behind him. Once she closes the door, Liam turns to look at me.
“I’m sorry, that didn’t come out right or go as planned,” he says sweetly with sparkling blue eyes.
“Did you mean it?”
“Hails, God, yes I mean it. When you told me you loved me when you were falling asleep, I wanted to tell you, but I freaked out. Then I talked to Brody and he made me see the bigger picture.”
“What bigger picture?”
“I’m probably leaving after this year for football. It’s not fair to you. I won’t be here for you like I should be.”
“Is that what you want?” I ask nervously.
“No, I’d like to take you with me wherever I go, but that’s not realistic.”
“Then I guess you have it all figured out,” I say, though it’s breaking my heart.
“Look at me,” he says as he comes and sits on the bed beside me, “Haley Lawrence, I love you and I’m very much in love with you. I’d love nothing more than to give us a shot. If you’re willing to give me a chance, we’ll make it work.”
“What about Bree?”
“Baby, I only tried to date her to let you move on from me. It takes all I can to stand her for a few hours.”
“Are you sure this is what you want?”
“I’m positive. What do you want Hails?”
“You, I’ve always wanted you,” I say looking at the blanket.
“So, we can give us a shot?”
“I’d like that,” I say softly.
“Baby, look at me,” he says as he lifts my chin, so I have no choice but to look into his beautiful blue eyes. “I love you.”
I can’t help the tears that start to roll down my cheeks, “I love you too,” I say before he leans in and kisses me.
“I’m sorry that we lost our baby,” he says softly.
“Me too. I didn’t know, I swear I didn’t know.”
“I know baby, it’s not your fault,” he says as he pulls me in for a hug, “How are you feeling now?”
“The pain isn’t as bad right now,” I admit.
“Okay, well let me get Brody and Kenzie before he has an aneurysm,” he says as he gets up to head to the door. He opens the door and tells them to come back in.
“Now, what the hell’s going on?” Brody bitches. Liam comes over and sits on the edge of the bed and takes my hand in his.
“Okay, yes, Hails and I have been sleeping together, yes we got pregnant, and yes, she miscarried. I tried to walk away because of our talk Brody, but it’s not what I want and it’s not what she wants. So we are going to give us a chance.”
“I think that’s great,” Kenzie says excitedly.
“I don’t,” Brody complains.
“Why not?” Liam asks.
“Because you’re going to be leaving, how’s that fair to her?” he asks angrily.
“That’s my choice, that’s not up to you,” I say harshly.
“Are you going to be committed to her, because you are going to have women throwing themselves at you constantly?”
“Like he doesn’t have that already,” Kenzie points out.
“I know what I want and I am committed to her,” he says angrily.
“You better be,” Brody states.
“Okay, enough you two. Kenzie, can you get the doctor,” I say before feeling a severe amount of pain rip through me. AHHHH.”
“Shit, what’s wrong? Are you alright?” Liam asks worriedly.
“What can we do?” Brody asks, worried as well. Kenzie rushes out to grab the doctor.
The nurse comes in and advised it is normal until the fetus completely miscarries. She advises the doctor will be in shortly. It’s only minutes later before the doctor comes in and asks for everyone to leave the room. They all comply accept for Liam.
“I’m not leaving,” he says standing firm. Kenzie and Brody walk out while Liam comes over and takes a hold of my hand.
The doctor informs me that it’s normal for the cramping and the bleeding to continue. He also informs me that I’m going to be admitted so he can perform a D&C and will have to stay overnight at the hospital.
I have the procedure later that evening and Liam stays by my side the entire time. Kenzie told our parents that I stayed at Ashley’s house last night, because I’m not ready for them to know I was pregnant. Thankfully, I’m able to go home the next day.
