Toby's POV - Part 17

"Okay, it went like this..." Toby began.
--
Toby's POV:
After I dropped Jamie off, I went straight to editing. Editing and editing. That was my day, I really didn't do anything else. I was sitting in my studio editing when I heard a knock on the door. My feet made their own way downstairs, being unsure of who this could be. As my hand opened the door and I saw a clear shot of who it was, Olga, I knew this might have not been a good idea since she had been making Ellie upset.
"Hey, Toby." She smiled vicariously.
I smiled back, "Olga! Whatchu' doin' here?"
She rolled the tips of her fingers back and forth along the door frame. "I wanted to apologize. I heard Ellie was upset about me."
I could almost feel the nervousness and anxiety tear through me. "Where'd you hear that?" I took a step back and Olga lazily made her own intro to the house.
"I have my ways." She laid her hand on the back of my next and I flinched at the touch of her cold hands. Olga pulled my head forward ingoing a kiss.
I pushed away as our lips were a small distance apart. "What are you doing?"
Olga smirked a devilish smirk. "I wanted to... apologize." She pulled me closer and kissed me, not letting me go. I began to ... enjoy it. But I still knew it was wrong. She drew me over to against the wall.
"Olga, I have a girlfriend." I began, laying my hand against the wall to prevent myself from falling all over her.
"Oh c'mon, you could just spend a little time with me." She grabbed my head and kissed me harder. As Olga sank down towards the floor and I followed her, she still kissed me. I didn't know if I was enjoying it or what.
"Olga, you can't just..." She leaned against the wall and pouted. "Oh, fuck it." I took off my shirt and kissed her harder. Eventually it ended up with me laying against her on the ground in the middle of the floor.
"I don't even know why you're dating Ellie..." She said between breaths of kissing me.
"Because... she needs me." I kissed her neck and looked at her face. She was grinning evilly at the window. I then glanced up and saw Ellie running away.
"Fuck!" I yelled as loud as I can and got up.
"Toby? Where are you going?" Olga said, standing up with me.
"I knew I'd fall for your tricks! I knew it, you whore!" Olga was speechless. "Get out." I said as I ran upstairs.
As my foot reached the top step, I heard the door slam. "What do I do now?" I thought. "Ellie is going to be hurt... Maybe if I act like it didn't happen..." I sat in my computer chair begging my mind to give me a plan. I slowly, but surely, grabbed my sweater and walked down the steps as I planned what I was gonna say to Ellie. I knew I had to apologize, but I didn't know how.

Ellie's POV:
Toby told me all about Olga. "Are you lying to me?" I said insecurely.
"No!" Toby repeated over and over again. He placed his hand on my chin and kissed me. "I'm sorry!"
I nodded, but inside I was still heart broken. "Okay." I said quietly.
After a few seconds of silence, I looked back at Toby's face and caught him looking at my stomach. When Toby noticed me catching him he apologized. "Sorry, it's just... There's a ... baby?" I could tell at every word Toby said he broke down even more.
I nodded, like I wanted this child. But I don't. I'm twenty-three. I don't need a child. I can't handle a child with my depression and Toby's fame.
"This isn't going to work.. I'm just..." Toby got up and his faced filled with anxiousness. He laid his forehead against a wall. "There's no point in getting angry or upset. There's nothing I can do." Toby told himself.
I managed to get myself onto my feet and wrapped my arms around Toby behind him. He grabbed me and pulled me close. "Whatever happens, I'll be with you."
I smiled and enjoyed the warmth in his embrace. "And I'll be with you." I was enjoying the moment when Toby placed something in my hands. It was a large gem or diamond of some sort with a marking on it. "What's this?" I said as I gazed up into his gorgeous face.
"Just know this is for you." He placed a hand on my stomach. "As long as you have this, nothing will go wrong. I promise."

A while after - Part 16

Before anyone reads this, I just have to say that I shoved an inside joke in here. You're welcome Madi and Jade.

--

Two weeks had gone by. No Toby. Trying to forget about him. My arm began to heal, but I doubt it would ever fully heal. Jamie talked them out of putting me in the mental part of the hospital. I have no idea how she did that, but she's a sweetheart. They agreed to put me through therapy session. Pure shit.

I was watching some video on YouTube when Jamie called my name.
"Ellie!" She yelled from the living room. "It's Doctor Tavos." My heart pounded at the sound of his name. What would he want?
I could feel my muscles tense up as I took slow steps through the house into the the living room. Jamie started trying to force the phone into my hands, as if she knew I didn't wanna take it. I held it up to my ear with my hand shaking.
"Hello?" I said, trying to keep my voice smooth.
"Hi!" Dr. Tavos said with his cheery voice. It made me feel worse.
I acted as if I didn't know it was him before. "Oh, hi."
"I have some news for you. You could come down to the hospital and hear it or I just could just tell you now." I was shaking. My heart was pounding.
I tried to say all that I could. "Is it good news?" Dumbass, Ellie. You're a dumbass.
I could hear him talking with a smile. "Well, you could take it that way."
I sighed and let all my worries out for a split second. "Can I just hear it here?" Jamie began walking and startled me.
From the other side of the conversation I could hear him lift up a clipboard. "Okay. From the samples we did to make sure you didn't have lead poisoning from the razor, we learnt you have something else."
What something else could we good!? What the hell? I swallowed deeply. "Throw it at me." I held my breath.
The doctor said it with such happiness. "Ms. Reid, you are pregnant."
I could feel the tears coming. No, no, no, no. No. NO. "Oh." Is that really all you can say Ellie?! Is that really all you say?
"Isn't it exciting?" Doctor smiled. At least, that's what I could hear.
"I suppose." I wanted this fucking conversation to end so I could scream and burn everything. Okay don't do that, Ellie.
"I want you to come in a few days for an appointment." I hope he's mistaken. I fucking hope.
I faked a smile in my voice. "Okay."
"Goodbye, Ellie."
"Bye."
I almost threw the phone across the room when we hung up.
"What did he say?" Jamie looked away from her computer. I leaned against a wall. I could feel my hair swish along my head as I shook my head. She closed her computer and walked towards me.
"What's wrong? What did he tell you? I'm concerned now." I just stood there.
Some mumbled words managed to escape my mouth. "I'm ... pregnant."
Jamie coughed and I could tell she was getting annoyed. "Uhm, pardon?"
I looked her straight in the eyes. "I'm pregnant, okay?" My eyes took a different direction and I crossed my arms.
"Oh my god." Jamie's eyes widened. "Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. You need to tell Toby."
Ugh don't say that name. "No." I replied.
"Ellie. You need to."
Silence.
"Fine."
"Fine what?"
"Fine I'll go." I began walking out the door.
"Right now?"
"Right now." And I closed the door shut.

When I got there, I knew Toby was home. Editing a video or something.
I walked up to the door and could hear my heart pounding. As I walked up closer to the door, I planned on what I would say.
Knock.
Knock.
Knock.
I waited a few seconds then heard the door open. Toby was so surprised. "Ellie?!" He sounded happy, though. That made me happy.
I was stuttering but tried to sound happy back. "T-Toby... We need to talk. I pushed past him into the house. He sat down on the couch beside me, I could see him spotting my arm. I tried to make eye contact so he would stop.
"Toby..."
I could hear the happiness that I was with him. "Ellie... I'm so glad you're here right now..."
Not very shocked, I replied with, "Oh."
He tried to say stuff. "I-I-I-"
"Toby, I'm pregnant." Right before I cut him off.
"What?!" Toby yelled very loud.
I nodded slowly. "This is so..." I could tell that he didn't know what to think of it, exactly like me. He hugged me. "Amazing."
I hugged him back with my good arm. "I know." A smile grew across my face.
"I love you so much, Ellie. I'm sorry." Toby slowly moved closer to me and kissed me.
I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. "I love you too."
After what felt like forever, he sat down and actually talked to me.
"Can I at least explain what happened that day?" He said.
I sighed, but nodded.
"Okay, it went like this..."
