Chapter 149 - Sorry To Disturb You
April woke to her phone ringing, she was still sleepy and felt Dean's arms wrapped around her in a tight embrace. She had to squeeze out from beneath him. Once she was finally free from his grasp and she felt his arms loosen and she answered her phone and sat upright. But it didn't last long she felt his head buried against her stomach and his arms wrap around her waist again.
April rolled her eyes and answered in a whispered voice, "Hello."
"April it's me Aarna. Sorry to disturb you." Aarna's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Don't worry about that, are you okay?" April asked still whispering as not to wake Dean.
"Yes and no, I hate to ask but can you meet me at the hospital?" Aarna asked.
April could hear the train noise in the background and realised that her friend was on her way back to the City. "Yes, I'll come to meet you at the train station."
"Are you sure, it's still very early?" Aarna asked.
"Yes, I'm sure what time will your train arrive?" April asked as she glanced down at Dean who was sleeping soundly.
"I will arrive in about twenty minutes," Aarna replied.
April checked the time on her phone and replied "Okay I should make it by then if not then wait for me I'll be there."
"Thank you, April." Replied Aarna. She was glad she had such a good friend in April.
"No worries, see you shortly." With that April hung up the phone and glanced down at the adorable man that was sleeping against her, he had a small smile on his face as he slept. She was happy he felt content and safe with her.
They both had such chaotic lives but together they could have peace.
April slowly moved out from his grasp as to not wake him, she pulled a pillow down and switched her body for the pillow. She heard him mumble and hold the pillow tightly. She sighed in relief and tiptoed towards the bathroom.
April got a quick wash and put her hair up in a ponytail before leaving the bathroom and going into her walk in closet. She quickly grabbed her underwear, black leggings, a band t-shirt and her converse and put them on before coming out of the closet again.
She checked on Dean, as he was still asleep she leaned over and lightly kissed his forehead before tiptoeing out of their bedroom. The door was heavy and she closed it slowly before taking a breath and walking normally down the stairs.
She heard noises in the kitchen and she presumed it was Bernie up and making a start on breakfast. She took Dean's keys from the side table and walked out of the house. The sun had started to rise and the air was cold and crisp so she dashed into the garage.
April pressed the button on Dean's keys and his black Bugatti flashed. She got inside it and instantly noticed the Black sweatshirt in the passenger seat. She threw it on before starting the car and heading towards the train station.
The roads were pretty empty and she had made it just on time for the train to arrive, she heard the train whistle and got out of the car as she waited for Aarna. A few moments later she saw her friend emerge from the train station. She was wrapped up and wearing a bright pink fluffy jumper and white jeans
April smiled as she walked towards her to help put her luggage into the car and said, "You okay?"
Aarna nodded but kept her head down. April didn't ask anything further and once Aarna's luggage was in the back seat of the car they both got into the front.
April then turned to Aarna and asked, "So where too?"
"The hospital." Aarna quickly answered, she glanced out of the window.
April was in shock by Aarna's simple reply, "What's wrong? Why are we going to the hospital and why are you avoiding looking at me?"
Aarna fiddled with her fingers nervously.
"Am I taking you to see Z?" She asked.
"No… I think I need a pregnancy test." Aarna answered as she continued to avoid April's gaze.
"Oh, okay. No problem, everything will be okay Aarna trust me." April replied she knew Aarna's predicament but she was glad that it wasn't anything serious.
"You think so?" Aarna looked to April, her eyes watery from her friend's reassurance.
"Yes, it'll be okay. You have me and anything you need to face we can face it together." April smiled at her friend and reached out to hold her hand to stop her from fidgeting. But Aarna surprised her by throwing her arms around her and hugging her.
"Thank you April, I am so worried and I couldn't tell my grandparents and I dare not say to Zane." Aarna held on to April as she expressed her thoughts. She had stayed strong in front of her grandparents but being comforted by April she felt relief and tears filled her eyes.
April held her for a while longer until her friend released her from the hug, "I understand, don't worry. I will take you to the hospital now and we can find out for sure."
Aarna nodded and dried her tears on her fluffy pink jumper before buckling her seatbelt.
Once they were both buckled in April headed towards the hospital with Aarna. To distract her she filled her in on the dinner with Rachel and Lucy.
"I can't believe they had the nerve to invite themselves to the Davis manor like that then act so shamelessly while they are there." Aarna was in shock, she had never met two more delusional women.
"I know. But it all worked out for the best in the end. I have more questions than answers now but my father has finally stepped up and kicked them out. Although my mother's death is a mystery, I am sure Dean will help get me the answers I need.." April said as she drove through the now busy streets.
