I've Been Walking This Path For Far Too Long Now [Oli Sykes] But Still I Carry On [THREE]

“Stacey” he said

I stared at him, I didn’t need him, he has ignored me for five fucking months!

“’scuse me” I mumbled shoving past him

I began running down the stairs out of the flat. What was I doing this for?

I don’t know but I carried on running.

“Stacey!” I heard him call after me, his voice was close.

He grabbed my arm and spun me round

“Wait!” He begged

I wrenched my arm out of his grasp “For what Oli?” I spat

“For you to see this was an accident, that I never wanted this?”

He stared at me “You know out of all the people I thought you would be the understanding one! The one that would be there for me, but I can see I thought wrong so do yourself a favour and leave me a-”

I stopped short by a stabbing pain in my stomach.

“ow!” I gasped

I felt my knees buckle beneath me, and I fell down the last flight of stairs, my vision became blurred the voices of people grew distant and the darkness took over me.

“O-Oli” I breathed

Oli’s P.O.V

Stacey’s knees buckled and she fell backwards down the stairs

“Shit!” I mumbled I threw myself after her, but she just kept falling.

She landed on her side, not moving but breathing

Her eyes rolled backwards into her head “Oli”

“SAM!” I yelled “Help”

I tried to lift her but she was too heavy. This was my fault, all my fault. Shit

I pushed the hair out of her face, she was pale and had purple circles under her eyes.

Sam and the guys rushed downstairs and immediately started helping.

An ambulace arrived, I went in with her. They stablised her breathing and a few seconds before we got to the hospital she came round.

She was dazed but still beautiful

“Oli?” She said, her voice shaky

I took her hand “I’m here” I whispered kissing her forehead

“Oli, im so sorry” She cried “I shouldn’t have yelled at you”

“Its ok” I said wiping away a stay tear with my free hand.

She gripped my other tightly

Tears slid down her cheeks as we got her out of the ambulance and into a room.

“We’re going to run some tests to find out if the baby is ok” The nurse said softly

“huh?” Stacey said panic in her voice

“The baby’s hurt?”

“No we can’t be so sure” The nurse said

She left the room as the others came in, Stacey had gone silent and stared out of the window.

“Stacey are you ok?!” Sam almost crying said

She shrugged still not tearing her eyes from the window

Samantha was the only family Stacey had left, she was like her mother who was the same age as her, Samantha always looked after Stacey and helped her on the right paths.

I couldn’t take the silence, I left the room for a walk around , shortly to be joined by curtis

“She still loves you, you know” He said

I looked at him, a part of me knew he was right but the other part of me didn’t believe him.

“She hardly eats She hardly sleeps, when she does she has nightmares”

“What?”

“Yeah, she stays at mine now with Sam and I hear her, begging for you to come back…she says stuff like she misses you and she needs you”

“But i..”

Sam came running up to us crying “She-Shes lost the baby”

I looked over to the window of her room, I could just see her standing up and hugging lee.

“You best go” I said to Curt

“No” He whispered

“What? But you’re the dad!” I half yelled

“But she wishes it was you” He said “You should go”

“He’s right” Said sam “It should have been you all along Oli, you know you two are meant for each other…she wanted to keep the baby and she hoped you’d come along and fit in the role of a father”

“I wanted it too” Curt said “I'm not cut out to be a dad, but you, you can be”

I stared between the two of them baffled. But maybe, maybe they were right. I never wanted kids, until I fell in love with Stacey, I could picture our family, they would look like her and have her eyes and our little girl would have stacey’s blond hair

I turned and began to walk back into the hospital.
