Breathe.

Going down the stairs aimlessly Tatiana almost missed a step but a hand held her.

She looked up to see Patrica and Eric beside her, "Bestie, what happened". Pushing away his hand she walked off.

"I need some air, I can't breath " she managed to say before walking off.

Patrica ran after her.

Running to the garden she held her chest trying to grasp air with her open mouth, trying to breathe. But her lungs were rebelling as she pushed in air, she cried falling to her feet. The voices of Alex and Jack were loud in her ears giving her a painful headache.

Patricia ran to her holding her hand, "Tatiana talk to me, what is going on ".

"I .. can't..breathe," she said.

"Okay, listen to me ...slowly breath in and out," she said.

Eric walked in with Jack beside him.

"Tati, what's wrong ?" he shouted.

But she held on to Patricia, "Dont let him get near me " she breathed.

Patricia nodded and turned, "Eric don't let him get close to us," she said

Eric held back his friend who was fighting to go to his fiancee.

"Please calm down and tell me what happened ?" Eric told Jack.

"Just let me talk to her, please " he cried.

Patricia held her friend, "He won't get close to you, so try to breath " she whispered.

"Patricia, my belly hurts " she cried holding her stomach.

Patricia turned down to see blood flow down to her exposed thighs through her open slit.

"Oh God, the baby " she turned to the two men," Eric come help me, she bleeding " she shouted.

Eric and Jack stopped fighting and ran to their side. Even in pain, she pushed Jack's hands away.

"Don't touch me " she cried.

Eric removed his coat covered her legs and carried her.

"Go get the car," he told his friend. Jack nodded and ran off.

Patricia sat beside Eric in the back seat while Jack drove.

"What is happening, why is she like this ?" asked Eric.

"Ask your friend " Patricia glared at Jack

"What does she mean, Jack ?"

"Can we first get her to the hospital " he yelled.

Eric turned to Patricia, "Tell me why she's bleeding and what he did "

"Tatiana is pregnant " she announced.

"WHAT!?..." both friends yelled.

"Yes I think the stress of finding out the truth is causing this, we need to hurry or the baby will be in danger " she cried.

...

They waited in the hall of the ICU as the doctor worked on Tatiana.

Patrica had called her mother to explain what happened, they were on their way with Jack's parents. She had only said her friend had fainted but not the truth of what caused it.

Eric took her aside, "Tell me what happened, Jack can't tell me in that state," he said.

They both turned to the uneasy Jack.

She sighed and told him everything. "What, are you sure he did it," he asked.

"Ask yourself why she came out of that room in that state, he must have confessed to it ".

Eric gritted his teeth, he wanted to go punch Jack but Patrica held him back. "Not now, just seeing him like that eases my anger. My friend doesn't deserve this but he does "
