Season Two - Ep. 7

I drove over to Alexis's place today after school. She wasn't in today either...
Her parent's weren't home.
I rang the doorbell.
Alexis opened the doors, shock in her eyes.
"Kris..." She whispered.
"I need to talk to you." I said
I walked inside and sat down on the couch.
"What's the matter?" She shut the door, and came over to me.
"I made a mistake..." I said to her.
"Wait...don't go any farther....I have to tell you something." She said.
I looked at her.
"I told my parents...about the baby." She said, slowly.
I just looked at her...shocked.
"What'd they say?" I asked her...
"They said it was my choice." She said.
I didn't want to say anything.
Fury and relief were building at the same time.
Fury, for her telling...and also relief for telling.
I didn't know what to say.
She sighed...
"I knew I shouldn't have told you..."
"No, no...I understand why you did it." I said to her.
"But...what if...what if I told you...I still loved you..." I spit out the words....
"Oh god...Kris..." She turned away.
I saw a tear run down her face.
"I don't know..." She said. "But it's not your baby."
"I know...that might piss me off, but I still ove you..." I tried to be sincere.
But I just couldn't tell her that part of me still couldn't take her back, due to the fact the baby was my own brother's.
"I see it in your eyes...You still can't accept the fact it's your brother's baby..." I couldn't believe she was saying this.
"Stop it..." I said.
I stood up.
"No. Because I can't love someone who feels hatred and love for me. I can't love someone who is jealous of their own brother." She just kept on going.
"STOP! SHUT UP!" I screamed.
But she kept on going.
And then it happened...
It was like a film with no sound, and I had no control of what was happening.
My arms flew out, hit her stomach, and pushed her backwards.
Her body fell like a rag doll onto the ground.
Then I realized what I just did.
"Oh my god...I'm..." I tried to say something.
She looked at me from the ground.
"You...you animal..." She said.
She tried to get up, but she sat back down in pain.
She touched her stomach.
"My stomach...it hurts..." She said.
"Alexis...I have...to go." I said.
I ran out the door and didn't look back.

That night I was sitting on the couch watching TV.
The phone rang.
"Hello?" I said.
"Kris. I just went to the doctor." It was Alexis.
I tried to apologize.
"I'm so sorry...I got so angry...I didn't mean to." I said.
"Kris...Please...Just listen!" She yelled.
I stopped.
"The baby...." She trailed off.
All of a sudden I felt a chill.
Something was wrong.
"Tell me...please..." I said.
Silence.
"The baby..." She said.
"The baby is dead...when you pushed me...something happened Kris...You killed my baby..." She started to cry on the phone.
I just sat there. The words pierced my bran.
"You killed my baby..."
"You killed my baby..."
"You killed my baby..."
I hung up the phone.
