RAIN
"Help … someone please …"
I drag my body out of the tub, toppling over, and start to crawl in my arms to get out of the bathroom. I think I am crying because there's wetness on my face. I am in so much pain that I fear breathing.
With every breath I take, the pain increases. I think I am losing my babies.
I push the bathroom door open, gasping as I look around my bedroom. There is no one here …. There is no one here with me because I pushed them away. I locked them out and now I am going to lose my precious ones.
"No … please …" I cry out. I grab my lower body with trembling arms to the bedroom door. The knob is too far up. I can't reach it. No, I can't lose my babies, not again no!
Gritting my teeth, I ignore the pain that's tearing me apart and try my best to make my legs work. It doesn't work. I get over the bed, use it to hoist myself up, and then lay down on it.
