I hated that I made him like this. I wanted to give him emotions like love, but I only gave him worry. I only gave him horrible things.

A sob left me in pain. This time though, it was not because I was physically hurting but the one I felt for upsetting Antonio.

“Antonio, you are making everyone nervous!” Mia shouted at her brother.

“Do you expect me to be calm?” Antonio asked her, burning with rage.

The answer was yes. Everyone was expecting him to be calm. He was supposed to be calm.

Bella bandaged my arm and started cleaning my cheek, and gave him a worried look. “Antonio, can you go look if the doctor is here? She needs it, please.”

He hesitated for a second, but then he kissed my palm. “I will fix this,” he promised and then left.

The second door closed after him. Bella’s huge dark eyes turned to me. Her worry was full-on display now. It looked too intense. “Where does it hurt, Priscilla?”

“E-everywhere.”

She shook her head, and sadness filled her features. She caressed my cheek slowly. “Where do you hurt the most? Your head? Your arm? Show me where you hurt the most.”

I didn’t understand why. I couldn’t think straight. I tried to feel my body. The pain was everywhere. My head. My arm. But there was something worse. I automatically moved my hand to reach where I hurt the most, and then it occurred to me.

My hand landed on my lower abdomen, and panic filled me. “No,” I whispered, holding my belly. It hurt the most.

No.

I pulled my body from the bed. I didn’t even know I had the necessary strength for that. “I need to go to the bathroom,” I said. I couldn’t let them see. I couldn’t let them know.

“Priscilla, lay back!” Mia rushed over me.

I shook my head like crazy. “I have to,” I cried. They could not see it. I had to do it myself. It was my pain. I didn’t want them to know.

Finally, Bella pulled Mia away from me, and I limped to the bathroom. I locked the door behind me. I heard them calling something, but I couldn’t focus. They didn’t matter. Only that pain mattered. Only my baby mattered.

I could only mumble that one word.

No.

Just like Antonio did when he found me.

No.

I pulled down my shorts and panties at once.

No.

I looked down at my naked legs.

No.

I screamed my lungs out before falling to my knees.

“No!”

Antonio

I ran back to the room, back to Priscilla’s scream.

When I got in, she was not on the bed, but her screams were still coming. Screaming only one word.No.
