I wake up the following morning to my alarm going off, only to find a bunch of missed calls a few hours ago from Aaron, but when I call him back, his number is unreachable.

He is probably airborne right now, on his way to New York.

The thought makes my chest feel heavy, and I lay back in bed sulkily.

I can't believe he is gone, and I am here.

He actually left me.

I move to the edge of the bed and drop my feet to the ground as I stare at the window. After drawing the curtail, and staring out the window for a few minutes, I go through my usual morning routine as I get ready for work.

As I brush my teeth in the bathroom, I look over the items on the Vanity counter that I got from the pharmacy last night, and zero in particularly on the home pregnancy test kit.

As much as I would like to be naive about the situation, the thought of a possible pregnancy has crossed my mind.

Because even though I got my period this month, it was light and short, which is unusual for me, however, I recently went on contraceptives after a long time, so it's common occurrence that my cycle and hormonal balance may be affected.......which could also be the reason for the lousy way I have been feeling lately.

I could use the test kit and find out once and for all what's going on with my body, and put my mind at ease, but I think I'm terrified of the results.

So here I am, just hoping my symptoms will go away on there on.

I have to admit, I feel fine today.

Great actually.

I'm well rested and relaxed, no pain, except for my heart that hurts a little because Aaron is gone but generally, I feel great.

It's a little too early to feel excited, especially without having a proper checkup, but all things considered this morning, it's something to be happy about and I would rather bask in that happiness for now.

So I grab the kit in its paper bag and stash it in a drawer under the sink.

After I'm done getting ready for work, I grab my bag and head out of the door.

Getting outside, Max is not here, yet another reminder that Aaron is gone, but the other guy, whose name I have forgotten is here and he walks towards me when I walk down the stairs.

"Goodmorning." I say.

"Good morning ma'am." he replies, ever so formal.

"Do you drink coffee?"

"Yes Ma'am."

"Here." I say, handing him one of the two cups in my hand.

"I will drive myself today." I tell him and walk towards my car.
