he hid from Juliet. And if they hadn't made stupid decisions, they would have gotten a chance to be together. For Isaiah and I, there was no hope.
Chapter Fifteen- Found Out
The dream kept reoccurring and it had me uncharacteristically nervous. Something else that had me nervous… I was late. Yes, late for my period. That was something that never happened to me, I kept careful track of when my menstrual cycle came and left, and it was official, nine days late. I didn't know how I could have been so stupid, Isaiah and I never used protection. When it came to him, I just didn't think about it. We both got so wrapped up in the moment that all thoughts of anything interrupting it vanished.
I forced myself to go to a local drug store this particular day. Isaiah had once again gotten a phone call, and I expected to get a call from Derek soon. I got three different pregnancy tests, just to be certain. I drank a lot of water because it seems that when I actually need to pee, my body goes on shut down and just won't do it. But finally I was able to get my body working with me and waited anxiously. I even bit my nails! I never bite my nails. Slowly the results appeared. I think my heart literally stopped when all of them showed up positive. Fuck. I was pregnant. I sat there for a good half an hour, staring at the tests, not moving a muscle.
My first thought was that the child was not going to have a father. That pained me, for I knew that a father was very important in a child's life. My second thought was how in the world was I going to tell Derek. I knew he would want me to get it aborted. That was something I was not willing to do. I can handle killing full grown adults, they've had their chance to live and most of the people I killed had screwed their chance up so bad that I had no pity for them. Also, I wanted a part of Isaiah with me forever, even if he couldn't be with me. He was the only person I had ever loved and I wanted another person I could love as well.
My final thought though was the worst. I didn't know if I should tell Isaiah about it or not. He wouldn't live to see his offspring grow up. He wouldn't get the joys of seeing his flesh becoming their own person but still being part of him. Did he even want a child? This situation definitely put a damper on my plans.
I was brought out of my thoughts by an urgent knocking on my door. By Isaiah's request I had started locking it. I huffed and stood up, walking over and opening the door. Isaiah was standing there and unwillingly a smile came to my face until I realized that he was not happy. He charged through my door and threw an envelope on my counter.
"I got this today Delilah. I think it might interest you," I opened the letter and my eyes widened. The charade was finally over. The packet held everything about me. My place in the gang, what I did, everything about me. "I'm supposed to kill you!" He screamed. He ran a hand through his hair angrily. "How the fuck am I supposed to do that?" He pulled out a gun. "I would rather take this and shoot myself than cause any harm to you! Where do you stand Delilah? You have played your part so well. Are you proud that I want to off myself instead of you? I knew you were too good to be true. I just fucking knew it!" He pointed the gun at his head and it took all my will power to not gasp and reach for him. I knew what I had to do. He had to leave town. I could not let this man die. I knew he wouldn't kill me, so I had to act cold to him. I had to put on one more façade to drive him away so he couldn't be hurt.
He continued to rant, putting the gun down. "They sent you after me and you played along like you always do. You pretended to care about me, you even pretended to love me," the word 'love' he spat out like it was venom, as if it poisoned him. "At least that's how it started out anyway. It grew into something more didn't it?" The look in his eyes was fierce, but I noted a hint of
