Wrecks of Love
Chapter One
Chapter Title: DISASTER!!- PREGNANT FOR AN UNKNOWN MAN
The brightness of the sunlight shone brightly into her room. Lizzy knew it was morning. She woke up that morning only to see herself cuddled in his arms. The arms of a strange man. She stared at the man who laid beside her. She looked at his pointy nose, his chocolate skin and curled hair. She was really tripping for this guy. She was mesmerized by his handsomeness. She had slept in his arms. She raised the blanket a little bit to check the self. She muffled in tears as due had committed a grave sin not only to God but also to her conscience but soon stops as she admires his physique and beauty. She got carried away by this looks and went ahead running her hand through his hair, she couldn't resist this tempting charm. She felt more urges to touch him.
One snore from him jolted her back to reality. She wore her clothes and started to leave tiptoeing to avoid any firm of disgrace. She opened the door quietly to prevent the creaking sound. She let out a sigh of relief as tho, he didn't see her. "One mistake shouldn't kill!" She said trying to comfort herself but failed to as more tears trickled down her flushed cheeks.
** (Three weeks later)**
Waking up this Friday morning was exhausting. Lizzy felt like her limbs were numb; not moving. As she tried to think of her schedule for today, she felt a weakening ache in her head. She felt so dizzy like she'd fall any moment from now. This whole sensation was new to her. Her head could sense the whole room spinning.. she could see twice of her bed. Making yo her mind to visit the hospital,she decided to rest a bit before leaving the house.
**(At the hospital)**
"Wa..wh-wha-what do you mean?". Lizzy stuttered as everything happening here sounded like joke m "I'm what...?" She yelled.
"You're pregnant Lizzy". The doctor answered. Lizzy fell silent at this sudden need. She wonders if this was all a dream. She drifted into her thoughts but jolted out if it as the doctor hit the table a little bit loud. Realizing she was left alone in this forlorn race and journey of birthing a child, she burst into tears. Alfred was their family doctor. Her parents would definitely find out. They'd not only disown her but she'd be disgraced!
Lizzy laid back to the chair she had sat on earlier, runs her tiny fingers through her hair and lets out a sigh of worry and distress. She shut her eyes trying so hard to remember that night. Alfred saw this and left the office to avoid distracting her. She shut her eyes so thought and ran her fingers through her hair once again making it look all messy. That wasn't her concern now. "how did she get pregnant?".
(Flashback)
** That night **
Lizzy was in the living room staring at the movies when her mum barges into the room furiously shouting out her name.
"Here mom!" Lizzy answered in great fear, standing up as she fidgeted like a child who was about to get scolded by his mum.
"What's this?!" Her mum queries. She looked at the letter in her mom's hands which states that; she had requested a leave of absence for two months saying that she was going through some mental stress. 'she wasn't even aware of her pregnancy!' Lizzy thought.
"Tell me about this!" Her mom yelled so demandedly as she slammed the table beside them in the living room. Lizzy jolted out in fear staring at her mom. After some seconds, she found a hint of courage to speak.
"It's not my thing mum. You forced against my will and I just can't keep it going this way. I need a force and desire to drive my decision. Don't just be so selfish ma!". She yelled at her mum. She frankly told her she wasn't going to pursue her career as a dancer but a reporter! She wants to speak for people. "No matter what you say, you'd dance and win the Grammy!" Her mom yelled so decisively. "You do as I say!" The latter added...
"No way!" Lizzy says.
"Yes way!" Her mum cuts her off as she tried to remind her of the occurrence that had made her quit dancing and miss the trophy she deserved.
"I got pregnant and had to stop it! I couldn't even win the universe Grammy award. Now I regret my decision back then". Her mum said with anger in her tone. Lizzy trembled at the echo of her mom's voice. Tears trickled down her cheeks and then she said.... "So... You regret birthing me? That's fine too!" She broke into sniffling sobs and walked out in her mom who tried calling her back but she promised not to her to those calls!
That night, she vowed to only pursue the career of her choice and headed to the nearest bar to cool of her mind..
Lizzy found remember vividly that night that she met Mandy on her way... Many was a friend and dance partner even though, they were competing rivals for the competition, lizzy kept her as a friend. She recalls Mandy offering to drink with her!
****
Lizzy opened her eyes which had already become teary. She shut them again in as she drifted back to her thoughts.
** At the club**
It was just so noisy! Everywhere echoed in noise. The place was too busy for anyone to notice her. Mandy bought the drinks and she drank. She kept ordering even what she couldn't finish, she drank five bottles when Mandy makes an attempt to stop her but to no avail. Lizzy kept on blabbing about how successful she'd become if she pursued her career and even talked of her high tolerance for alcohol even when her face were already flushed!.
Mandy got tired of her and had to go use the restroom. Almost immediately, richard, Lizzy's ex boyfriend came in so drunk as he staggered towards lizzy. Anger was evident in his face but the drowsy Lizzy couldn't denote that. He had a stick of cigarette in his mouth. In his drunken state, he dragged the bottle of alcohol in her hands and threw them to the floor. The shattering sound of the glass attracted those who were busy dancing and cruising earlier. There was dead silence as they paid attention to just two drunk human.
"Liz? How dare you? How dare you dump me!" He yelled.
"Dump? Yeah, I did dump you cos that's what needs to be done with trash!" Lizzy says as the whole room burst into laughter. He hold her by the wrists in anger and the ladies all gasped in fear of what he might do!
"It's not over until I say so!". Dominated by the intense power of alcohol, lizzy began laughing whilst everyone was curious to know why she laughed in the manner she did and in this situation. And then she stopped abruptly and said...
"What boyfriend depends on a girl for feeding? I'm your atm supplying you money to spend on girls while you keep lazying around?. Look, I understand you're poor, but try to make something meaningful out of your life.". Lizzy told him with a tone full of mockery. Just this minute, she forgot all her sorrows.
Once she said that, she drowsily took a half bottle of her drink with her as she sang a song of mockery... She hadn't passed by Richard, her haggard looking ex boyfriend when he drags her back trying to kiss her forcefully.
Lizzy tried free herself from his large hands as she kept on hitting him with her hands. All tantrums she threw weren't helping. She became weaker in his arms, people enjoyed the view and so they didn't bother to help out.. when lizzy thought it was the end, a saviour showed up. He took the bottle from her hands once he successfully freed her from those large hands and also handed the bottle to richard..
"She's mine. Don't you dare mess with her!" He said with a stern voice. The whole people there wowed at this courage, stance and defence!
Just hearing his voice alone stirred up butterflies in her. She smiled and a blush crept upon her cheeks. She hides them in the chest as they walked out, Lizzy's hands wrapped around his waist and her head on his shoulder. She leaned on him so dependently!
Having walked some distance, her troubling and rumbling stomach caused her to vomit in his shirt not excluding hers.. she smiled again and then pecked him!
** Back to reality! **
Gasps!. "I pecked him!". Lizzy said in surprise. At this moment, she felt like she was already thrown into a pit of hell already. Her worst nightmare!
That night, was the biggest mistake she had ever made since she lived on this round earth.. she really wished the ground could swallow her up. She tried so hard to remember but only blurry visions of that night answered to her call of aid. If God could avery that day, she would do everything he asks, even giving up her life! That was her thought this minute. After much thoughts, she stood up from he chair she sat on and walks out of the hospital leaving Doctor Alfred worried.
** (Two days later)**
Lizzy's mum, Mrs Morgan held a meeting at the outskirt of their city. She was one of the community leaders and so her daughter had t be there to cheer her up and be a witness to everything that was going on there. The people of the "great women" whose title sounded more like a political party presented her mother a gift. Lizzy was called on to take a picture of her mother and her friends and the moment she walked towards them, her feet's became wobble, her troubling stomach caused her a disgrace and break in party.
She had no where to vomit other than the guest's table.. seeing the whitish stuff mixed with a bit of mucus, she kept mute and just walked away.
****
"Lizzy how dare you do this to me?" Mr Morgan roared ad he walked towards Lizzy who laid on the bed feeling a bit moody. Her dad hardly shouted at her since she was their only daughter and child so she was very surprised he queried her in this manner not giving her a room to talk..
"Is this how you pay me back?" He asked feeling disappointed.
Mrs Morgan was just too shock to speak as everything just felt like a nightmare. All she could alter was, " Who's the father?". Lizzy wasn't answering and so Mrs Morgan gave her a deadline to provide the baby's daddy in three days; else....
She's disowned or she aborts the child...
"Mum! An innocent life?" Lizzy screamed on top of her voice as she watched her parents walk up the stairs to their room leaving her in despair....
What's her decision?!
