You Did This To Me by MEWagler (positive books to read txt) 📕

you kissed her. It was just before all this happened I guess. Char's tried calling her multiple times a day and her phones always off. She's shut herself out from the world." Mike! My eyes shot open and I whipped my head towards James.

"M-mmike?" What if he got her? What if we didn't know. James eyes went wide.

"Chris? Thank God you woke up! I'll call a nurse to let her know." he stood up and pushed his chair back slightly in the process. My arm flew towards him and lightly gripped his arm.

"Does Mike have her?" James frowned.

"No. He couldn't. Mike was let off easy for sure, he had a good lawyer. Only a restraining order, but he wouldn't break that cause it would send him to jail. He's not that stupid." I shook my head, maybe a little too violently because I got an immediate head ache because of it. I pointed down to my wrapped wounds.

"Mike did this. He said. He said he would get her again and make her enjoy it over and over." I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples slowly. James must have pulled out his phone because a few seconds latter he was explaining it all to Charlie. We had to get this bastard. We had to protect Andy.

Andy's POV

Chris has phone seventeen times in the past twenty minutes. I didn't answer any, she was probably just telling ne Chris finally woke up. That would be the only reason for the non-stop calls. I could just listen to the screaming voice mails latter. I had gone to see Chris once while he was in the intensive care unit. It had been heartbreaking. His face was contorted into a painful expression even though he was unconscious. I had given him a quick kiss than said good bye forever. I couldn't stay around here and let myself be found pregnant. I just couldn't.

I had been packing since the night I got back from the hospital four weeks ago and between morning/all day sickness, dizziness and having a lack of sleep, the last box was being tapped up now. My apartment looked bare excluding all the brown closed boxes. This had been my home for eight years. Leaving here would be hard. I would leave my friends, leave Charlie, and ultimately leave my fear of falling harder in love with Chris. I couldn't let myself be loved, I wasn't only thinking about me now. My baby and myself could get hurt. I am so sick of getting hurt.

My phone was going off again. I looked at the caller ID and notice it was Charlie again. I didn't have the heart to talk to her, I didn't have the courage to say good bye. Char had a spare key and was bound to let herself in latter it tore me up inside that I couldn't say goodbye. I knew she wouldn't let me leave, and well I can't stay any longer because my pregnancy is really starting to show. No longer do I look like I just put on a few pounds, but I have a nice little hard ball on my stomach only. You can defiantly tell there's a little one growing in there.

I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote a note for Char.

'Baby Girl-

I love you and will always miss you, but me leaving was for the best. I am in pain all the time and I have constant reminders of what Mike did to me. I have changed. I can't stick around and get hurt all over again. I can't let myself love anymore. I won't let myself love anymore. I will always miss you and hopefully one day I will see you again.

Yours always,

Andy.'

I looked down at my swollen belly and sighed. My constant reminder of Mikes cruelty was staring back at me. I could have given this baby up though. No matter what the circumstances where, this child will be loved by me. I looked around my home one last time before grabbing my purse to leave. The movers would grab the boxes tomorrow.

Chris' POV

"Well Sir, seeing as you were asleep so long your body has had the chance to heal itself. We will observe you overnight than you can go home in the morning." I looked at the older doctor. The morning? I had to go now!

"You say I'm healed?" He nodded.

"Well than I'm leaving now." I sat up and started to pull off all my connecting wires. A older hand flew out and gripped my wrist.

"Sir, I can't let you go." He had a worried expression on, well I know how he felt. I sighed and leaned back a bit.

"Look, a friend of mine is possibly in trouble. I can't just stay here and do nothing. I'll be careful and if anything feels out of sorts I'll call 911." Now it was his turn to sigh.

"Let me take your IV drip out properly at least. We don't need you hurting yourself." He smiled faintly and set to work unfastening me from the hospital machinery.

James had Charlie on speaker as we drive down the highway, my finger nervously tapping on the glass. Twenty minutes. It's going to take twenty minutes. James must have sensed my urgency as he sped up.

"I've been calling non-stop all week and she won't answer! I must have called her fifty times today alone! James she ALWAYS answers me! Either I did something wrong and she hates me or she's in serious trouble." I could hear Charlie start to sob on the other end of the line and James and I both stiffened at her words and lack of emotional stability.

"Charlie, Baby? Were driving there now. We will be there in fifteen minutes. Everything's okay. I promise." James was tight lipped, I could tell he didn't believe himself, and neither did I.

"I'm here now I'll call you in a few minutes. I love you babe."

"Charlie don't go in there alone!" James sounded terrified, but his calls were useless as Charlie had already hung up. James smacked the steering wheel with both hands and sped up considerably.

"Shit!"

Andy's POV

I clutched to my purse as I waited for the elevator doors to open, I swear to God if I wasn't so tired I would have taken the stairs by now. It's been seven excruciatingly long minutes.

First floor, second, third. And it stopped. Back down to first floor. I sighed and slammed my finger repeatedly into the button hoping it would help speed things up.

First floor, second, third. Two more! Fourth floor, and fifth! The doors chimed as they slowly opened to reveal a flustered Charlie pacing the floor. Her eyes widened.

"ANDY! Your safe?!" She started sobbing while wrapping her arms around me tight.

"I th-thought Mmike...." Charlie stiffened and took a step back. Her body started to shake and her eyes widened. A wobbly finger shot out from her hand and pointed at my enlarged belly.

"YOUR PREGNANT?!"


Chris' POV

"James drive faster!" Charlie hadn't called back and we had no idea if anything was wrong. I could feel my head started throbbing and my vision blurring a bit because of the speed. I shook myself a bit to refocus, two more blocks. We could now see Charlie's little green car and beside it was Andy's blue one.

James SUV swung into the empty space beside the other cars and before he had a chance to turn it off I was out and running towards the door. My breath was hitched and I could feel tight stabs in my chest but I pushed towards the stairs with James close on my heel. After the third flight of stairs I started to feel my body collapsing. James slipped himself under my arm without permission and pulled me up the next two flights of stairs only to disentangle himself by the door and let us both burst through and run towards Andy's apartment separately.

Andy's POV

Charlie hadn't moved closer to me and her eyes were wide as she just kept repeating those words over and over again. 'Your pregnant.' Sometimes it was loud and sometimes it was quiet and timid. How could she find out so fast! Why did she have to find out at all. I wanted to keep this away from everyone. I didn't want anyone to see what Mikes filth had done to me. I know this baby had no fault in Mikes mistakes, but I wasn't going to lie and say that this wasn't hard.

We had now been standing in the hall for about ten minutes give or take and Charlie still hadn't looked at me directly or stopped saying those words over and over. The tears pushed and threatened to fall from my eyes as I watched my best friend fall further and further away from me.

A few seconds latter I heard foot stomps down the hall. I turned to see Chris and James burst around the corner. Chris stopped mid-step and almost collapsed as James ran into Charlie and pulled her to his chest.

"Charlie you scared the crap out of me! Why did you call and say everything was ok?" Charlie went ridged, her body pulled away from his and her finger directed itself at my stomach.

"ITS NOT OKAY!" She slumped and started to sob as she explained and I stood there wide eyed.

"Sh-she's preg. She's fu-king pregnant! He did this to her!" As the word exited her mouth I could feel myself collapse and black out. Its over, they know. Im done.

Chris POV

"Why are all these boxes everywhere?" Charlie had let us into Andy's apartment so that we could lay her down on her bed, which was completely stripped and bare. I could see Charlie Crying across the room holding onto a piece of paper.

"She was leaving, she was going to leave and not tell me!" Charlie turned into James' awaiting arms and cried for what seem like hours.

"She must think I hate her! Why else would she want to leave? Is she that ashamed of me that she wouldn't want to share this with me? I could support her! I always have! I would support her if she would only let me!" The sobs started coming again.

"I though you would hate me." Her voice was quiet and strained but it made us all pause and turn around to face Andy who was now standing in her bedroom doorframe. She sighed and came close to Charlie. She looked scared that she would be rejected by her best friend. On the contrary though, Char rushed over to Andy and gripped onto her until both girls were sobbing and sitting on the floor.

After about half an hour of crying the girls sobered up and we all sat on some boxes to talk.

"Andy why would you honestly want to leave? I really would have been here for you?" Charlie was still shaken up over almost loosing her best friend. Andy sighed.

"Well I guess there's a bunch of reasons. Number one of course was Mike. Since I refused to do the rape kit that the police wanted me to do
