Bailey-
I have now officially memorized the entire fucking dictionary which I will use while yelling at Adrian. As soon as I realized the truth, I ran straight home. I think I heard a few gunshots as I got into a taxi and drove away but whatever.
Now, I was in my apartment, making sure to look the best I can so I can yell at him in style. He had no fucking right to play with my heart like that. What kind of weak ass fucker is he?
Giving into his ex-girlfriend's demands just because she threatened him? Well, I have a lot of things to say about that. Dylan was still in the apartment with me. "How long does it take for Luna to get a book?" He whines. "I'm going to call her."
"Okay, you do that. I'll just memorize a few more words."
"Bailey."
"Don't disturb me," I hold a finger up in his direction as I focus on reading the dictionary.
"Bailey!"
"What Dylan?!" I groan, turning to face him. My irritation instantly fades away once I see Dylan's pale face. He looks like he's seen a ghost. "What's wrong?"
"Luna's in the hospital."
"But she's not due until three months..."
"I need to be there," He breathes, worry plastered on his face.
"I'll come with you," I declare, as he grabs his car key and nearly runs out of the apartment. I rush after him, grabbing my pepper spray, just in case we encounter an obstacle. When we safely reach the car, I climb into the back seat of the car, while Dylan speeds out of the driveway.
I know it's worrying him a lot because I've never seen him running a yellow light before. The seat belt holds me back as he begins to speed up. "Dylan! Slow down! We're not part of the mafia like our friends. The police will arrest us. Or to be more specific... you."
He instantly slows down and starts to go by the speed limit. He doesn't talk the entire ride to the hospital.
What's wrong with Luna? Is she giving birth early? That can't be good. Did something happen to her while she was at the bookstore? Fuck, I hope she's okay. Good thing I took my anxiety pills or whatever they're officially called or I would be panicking like shit right now.
Once we reach there, the car screeches to a halt. I notice a white car here, parked right next to a black car. Huh. Weird. Shaking away my confusion, I walk into the hospital building to see Anna holding a tissue below her nose.
Blake is holding a tissue box right next to her. It's almost as if they're both here to come get us. "Bailey! Oh my God, I don't know where to start!" She rambles. Her voice comes out sounding like she's sick. Probably because of the bleeding nose.
"Are you okay? Where's Luna?! Is she okay?!" Dylan warbles. Anna's gaze lowers slightly.
"Third floor, maternity ward," She informs him. Leaving us behind, Dylan rushes upstairs. Blake gives a nurse that's about to stop Dylan a slight nod, and she lets Dylan through.
"What's wrong?" I ask Anna, who now meets my gaze.
"Ava..." I tense at the mention of her name. "She had Luna. She drugged her."
My eyes widen at her words. "She's six months pregnant!" I hiss. "You can't drug pregnant women! That'll cause pregnancy complications like premature birth which'll be harmful to the baby! Things like low birth weight, respiratory problems and stuff. It's worse when the mother has drugs in her body because that would cause withdrawal symptoms in the baby, like tremors and... and... more. Anna, tell me Luna's okay!"
"I don't know, Bailey. We came down here for you guys... I'm scared to go upstairs," She mumbles. I'd never thought I'd see the day when Anna would be scared about something.
"I'm going," I declare as I make quick feet up to Luna's room. My heart begins to beat faster as I begin to get anxious about Luna. When I reach upstairs, I see a group of three men intently listening to a female doctor, worry stricken.
I listen in on what the doctor is saying by standing next to Dylan. "She's close to dying from drug abuse, and it could be dangerous to both the baby and the mother," She explains. "We'll have to take the baby out if either of them should have a chance of surviving."
"Do what you have to do," Kaden tells her before adding a little bit of Kaden-spice in. "I want them both alive."
"Who's the dad?"
Dylan steps forward, his face as pale as a ghost. "I don't want you to worry. Both the mother and child have a fair chance at surviving. We'll do the best we can." Then she turns around and walks away.
Dylan turns towards his brother, Kaden. "My Luna..." His voice sounds choked up. "What happened?" Kaden explains everything to Dylan as I plop down on a chair and begin to dig into my nonexistent nails.
Someone that I completely forgot about over this commotion sits next to me. My heart skips a beat. "Bailey..." He starts. I completely ignore him although I don't want to. "Ava's dead."
I still don't reply. "I'm sorry for hurting you. I'll never forgive myself for it."
"Neither will I," I reply, finally turning to face him. He looks damn near tears. "Don't give me that look. I'm not going to forgive you just like that."
"What will it take?"
"I love you, Adrian. I won't deny that. But I don't know if you love me after how you broke my heart. I need you to prove your love for me. Until then, I'm free game for anyone." I add that last part just to let him feel the pain.
"I love you, Bailey. I love you a lot."
"I don't believe you."
"Then I'll make you believe me," He leans over to kiss me, but I back away surprising both me and him.
"We broke up, remember? Boundaries need to be respected," I tell him and his face drops on a whole new level. Oh, I was going to enjoy this as much as I was going to suffer from this.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Take me grocery shopping."
"That's all?"
"Fly me out to a different country. Show me something I've never seen before. Make me feel something I've never felt before and take me grocery shopping in a different country." I was going to make him pay so much.
I feel a playful smirk creep up on his face. "Okay. Can I please get a kiss?"
"No."
"Don't do this to me."
"No."
"I'll get on my knees for you."
"No."
"Beg?"
"I'll let you kiss me," His entire face lights up. "If you tell me the exact meaning of this."
He nods, way too eagerly.
"I'm vastly infatuated with you, but I want you to evince your irrational amour for me through the means of scrutiny. Oh and don't do any malapropism," When I'm done, I give him a sweet smile.
I hear a sniffle from somewhere near me. "I'm going to cry," Blake sniffles, burying his face in the crook of Anna's neck. "Those words were enough to make a grown man cry."
I roll my eyes before shifting my focus to Dylan, who was sitting next to me. He looked paler than Snow White. "Bailey, what if... what if one of them doesn't make it?" He asks, his voice distant. Suddenly, I felt guilty for teasing Adrian when Luna was fighting for her life in there.
"No, Dylan don't fucking say that. Your son has the blood of an entire life of mafia men and women running in him. He's not going to give up. And Luna? She's saved her son from death before, she'll do it again and she'll survive doing it."
I noticed Kaden pace around the waiting room, clearly tense. I didn't know he cared for Dylan much. "You and Kaden are really close huh?" I ask Dylan, hoping to take his mind off worrying.
"Yeah," He laughs a little. "We're brothers."
"Then why didn't you tell him about Luna?" Dammit Bailey! Why are you getting so personal?!
"Oh, I kind of wanted to surprise him but then he came knocking on my door, demanding to see Luna."
Oh. That was my fault. Oopsie. "Well, I'm glad you two are close."
"I was actually surprised when Kaden and Luna got along well. You know, Kaden isn't really a people's person. He's not romantic either. Well, that's why he's aromantic."
"He's aromantic?"
"Yeah."
Did I just brozone Kaden for no reason? Oh well. Haha. "Are we talking about me?" Kaden jumps into the conversation.
"Just some insight," Dylan shrugs.
"Your version of insight is telling everyone my address, birthday, sexuality, and many more things I don't want people to know about me."
"Don't talk too much. People might think you have feelings."
I smile a little, glad that they're no longer worrying their ass off about Luna.
About a half an hour later, there's a commotion somewhere in the hospital. Kaden and Dylan's eyes land on someone and they almost immediately stand up. Everyone does.
What the hell is happening?
