Chapter 74 - For Every Heart We Betrayed


Oli's POV

I walked back inside the room with Hanley. Someone was sat on the end of the bed and Rain was leaning against his shoulder. When he turned to see me, my jaw dropped. It was Anthony! He wasn't dead!

"Ah! Hello, Oli!" He smiled. "I'm sorry to hear about your baby..." He quietened the room.

"It's okay..." I shrugged. "We thought you were dead."

He shook his head.

Hanley pointed his finger at Anthony. "That's the man that was at the door daddy!"

Anthony looked guilty. "Oh. Sorry, didn't mean to scare you lot. I just wanted Danny to come to the door. I figured he wasn't in, I couldn't see his car outside." He said innocently.

Both Rain and I swallowed hard and looked at each other with grief. I waited for her to say something, but it looked like it was stuck in her throat.

"Anthony..." I whispered. "Danny is dead..."

Anthony's smile dropped down. His face dead serious now. "What? For how long?"

"Not long after you left. He killed himself..." I dropped my head down and looked away from him.

His eyes started to well up. "Oh god... I shouldn't have left my boy... I should have been there to protect him..." A tear dropped down from his cheek and he fell silent. He got up and walked away from us, closing the door behind him.

"Hello, Hanley." Rain whispered.

"Are you better now mommy? Have the doctors fixed you?" He put on a desperate smile.

"Yes baby." She whispered. "And you have a baby sister now."

Hanley's eyes opened up widely. "A baby sister!?" He shouted with joy. He tapped his little feet on the ground and jumped up onto the bed beside Rain.

Rain held his shoulder. "But your sister has a problem with her eyes... She can't see..." Rain nudged him a little in confession.

"That's okay mommy." He smiled. "I bet she's so pretty like you!" He simply brushed it off, with such a delicate understanding voice. We were both so proud of him.

"Go and talk to Anthony." I told Rain. She nodded.

I lifted Hanley up over my shoulder and carried him to the baby ward. There was a room full of little babies in plastic tanks, wires and tubes sticking out of each. I looked on the covers, looking for our baby. And out of the corner of my eye, I found her.

"Here she is!" I playfully said to Hanley.

He looked over her in ore. He placed his hands over the plastic and traced his fingers over her. "She's so tiny..." He whispered. "What's her name?"

"Well, mommy was thinking of calling her..." He looked at me in anticipation. "Sienna."

"Sienna? Thats a pretty name. It sounds like a flower..." He replied.

Sienna wasn't a flower, but it was a shade of brown. The exact color of her hair. And I had loved the way it rolled off your tongue with such a smooth flow. And it was quirky. I bet there wasn't any other babies in this room called Sienna.

Notes

Aww poor Anthony.

Quality read, I love this story so much, can you check out my new story please? I'd appreciate it and wanna collab

Anyone who is reading this, I'm actually the writer of this story, I just deleted my tumblr account that was linked to this a while ago. I wrote this years and years ago, and I think it's pretty poorly written at the start, so apologies lmao. But anyway, I made a new account, I'm older now so my writing has gotten better, I'm taking English as an A level too so everything is good. I'm in the process of writing something new, but I'm totally annoyed with the lack of views it's getting. It's got a kind of similar story involving drugs and pregnancy and stuff so check it out? <3 Its called "On The Vacant Canvas, We Should Be Waiting", and I've based some parts of the story ie. drugs and fights etc. on experiences that actually happened to me and my friends so it's quite a personal story, as I think it should be.

@SparklyRainbows
Thankyou so much, I've been really good lately, and I hope that you can be too, and I'm glad you're enjoying it :) You better stay awesome too, hun <3

I just want to let you know, I stated until 6:03 in the morning, reading the ever loving fuck out of this. This story is amazin . First of all, this story spans over years, not months or days like most storie . Second of all, I have a real connection with both Oli and Rain (which is one of the character names in my story, too!!!). I struggle with self harm, alcohol, and drug abuse, and this chapter really connected with me especially. Whatever you're going through, I've never met you, but I believe in you. I'm proud that you're five (or more) days sober, and you definitely better keep it up. You're a strong person, and it's really awesome that you're doing good and writing an amazing story while you're at. Stay beautiful my lovely creature!!

I really felt the connection in this chapter with the Alcohol abuse. I really liked this update, a lot x
