《16 & Pregnant • z.m》Chapter 37
Advertisement
Zayn, Scarlett and I are heading home now. He came out of the coma yesterday but I havn't told anyone yet, only Gracie. She said she'd keep a secret. I am so excited, all my worries have vanished now that Zayn's here.
"So when did Gracie get out of her coma?" Zayn breaks the silence
"Oh, um I think day 1 or day 2... not sure" I say
"What, you mean that she was in a coma for 2 days when I was in a coma for 2 months!" He barks
"Yeah" I simply say
I can tell he's angry but it isn't any of our fault, it was just life waking her up. We don't say a word the rest of the drive.
Once we get to our apartment, Zayn climbs out and starts walking to the building, I get out and open the back door to get Scarlett from her seat. He is acting strange, I let out a loud gasp while walking towards the building, I slowly forward up the stairs with Scarlett still in my arms. When I get to our apartment door, its already open. I walk inside and put Scarlett down in her little baby crib.
"Zayn?!" I call out "Zayn!"
I walk into the kitchen and see him sitting at the table,
"Zayn, I was calling you" I say to him and sit down opposite him on the small table "Zayn?" I say
"Huh, oh, yeah, what?" He stutters
"I was calling you" I repeat "Is something wrong?"
"No" He lies
"I know your lying" I say
"I'm fine" He says
"You are not" I argue "Look I've spent the worst 2 months of my life and I don't want any problems"
"Just mind your own business!" He yells and storms out of the room

What was that?
I stand up from my chair and walk out of the kitchen into the lounge room. He is sitting down on the couch with his head in his hands. I start to walk to him but stop and think that last time I tried to comfort him, he screamed at me and stormed out of the room. Which was what happened five minutes ago... I keep walking, past him, and continue off into the bedroom. I can feel his eyes on me, but I ignore him and walk inside.
I close the door behind me and lay down on the bed, I really am not in the mood to be yelled at or arguing. As soon as my face hits the soft pillow I'm out.
Mel comes out from the kitchen and walks straight past me into the bedroom. I think I was a bit harsh on her for only trying to help me. For a moment I think of following her into the bedroom but I decide against it and turn the TV on.
Ten minutes later Mel still hasn't come out so I decide to go inside the bedroom. I turn the TV off and walk towards the bedroom door, I open the door slightly and peek through the door, Mel is sleeping on the bed with tear stains in her face.
Why would she be crying? I wasn't that harsh, was I?
I walk towards her and sit down on the bed. "Mel?" I shake her
"Mhhmm" She says and see's me, she quickly gets up and rubs her eyes "Oh, hi. I must've fell asleep"
"Yeah, um... I'm sorry" I say
"Okay" She says and gets up to walk to the bathroom.
Once she walks into the bathroom and slams the door behind her. Suddenly I hear Scarlett crying, I get up and walk to her room. I pick her up and shake her in my arms...

I get up and walk to the bathroom, i need a shower. I have a warm shower rubbing all the mascara of my face and cleaning myself. Once i'm done and I have a towel wrapped around my body I walk out into the bedroom. I get changed just before Zayn barges in.
"We need to talk" He says
"Mmm k" I say
"What is wrong with you?" he says
"What?" I say
"You go off crying because I yell at you once" He says, Omigod, this is why you never live with your bully.
"I never cried" I lie
"Yeah, you were" He says
"That wasn't about you" I lie, again
"Oh, really. What was it about then?" He says
"well, two things" I say
"Go on" He says
"Well, It was because you yelled at me for no reason, when I was trying to help. And another reason was... I just spent 2 months, visiting you daily, waiting for the day you would wake up, and now... I wish you would've stayed asleep" I say the last part harshly and storm out.

If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."
