I wasn't enough.

Epilogue

It's been two years after the incident happened on Empire State, I still have trauma associated with that building, so I haven't been back.

Jerry and I remained friends. I wasn't ready to date and quiet frankly, I needed to love myself before loving others. I decided to see a therapist and it really helped. I started to realize that I had childhood trauma which added to my present problems.

I felt sorry for David, he had to deal with me this way. I hate it. I gave him the worst of me. I hope he's really happy with that girl. I'm now happy with myself. I have a job I love, a house I love and I finally am able to love myself. I've adopted a cat and she's the most adorable little nugget.

I never thought I could be happy, alone. It was not something I'd even considered. I dated before David and then even attempted to date after David, which didn't work out but I really thought I'd die if I was single.

Now it's liberating. I can finally do what I want, understand the ins and outs of myself, my hobbies and desires are a priority and not on a back burner. My needs come first and I'm so unbelievably happy.

I go out with friends more, I've been on a few dating sites purely for pleasure, not relationships. There are some handsome guys who just want to mess around. I happily oblige. Being single is fun, no commitments, no responsibilities. Only cooking for one, doing one's laundry. It's great. I seriously recommend it. 5 stars.

I'm content with myself. I think if I had, had the baby, I would've been a terrible mother. I was a complete wreck, I would've taken that out on our child. Life would be unstable and there's no way I could give love from an empty cup. I'm glad because I wasn't ready at all.

I love my life.

David's POV

I'm depressed. Ever since my wife divorced me, I've been a wreck. Emily is due any day and she's been stressing me the fuck out. I'm not cut out to be a father. I want my ex wife back. Fuck.

All Emily does is complain about EVERYTHING. I've cheated on her a few times already, in hopes she's fuck off but each time she stays. I think I'll leave her. I'll still keep in contact for the child's sake but I can't do this anymore. I'd rather be single and fucking other singles.

Relationships are such a drag. They're a waste of fucking time. Do not under any circumstances get anyone pregnant. It will be the end of you, seriously.

I break up with Emily and rent an apartment in the city. I tell Emily that I'll have our son on the weekends and she can have him during the week. I'll pay child support and even buy everything he needs for school. I'll be the best dad I can be. I just don't want her.

The baby comes and for a second I think, I could be happy with her but as fast as it comes into my brain, it leaves even faster. I laugh and snuggle my son. He's so precious the only joy I have in this sad life I call mine.

If my wife would take me back I'd go running.
