CHAPTER THREE

My alarm rang at 5:30 am. What the heck? I didn't need to be up until 6:30; so why did it go off now? I was about to fall back asleep when I remembered why my alarm rang.

I got out of bed and put my gown and slippers  on. I left my room and walked down the stairs as quietly as I could manage. I walked into the kitchen and opened the door that led to the backyard of our double storey house.

My mom owned a franchise of Pick 'n Pay here in Newcastle. My dad had his own successful law firm. If you wanted to, you could say we were rich, but it wasn't information we just spread for all to hear. We were humble like that.

I walked to the little garden that I visited every Wednesday morning. I don't know why I chose Wednesdays to do this, but it felt right. I looked at the name on the 'mini gravestone' I placed there.

Tyler Rivers

Conceived: August 2011

Passed: November 2011

Mommy loves you, little Ty

I picked up a single white rose from my mother's rose garden and placed it on Tyler's monument. I traced the engraving of her name and I felt a single tear escape my eye.

"Hi little Ty, it's your mommy", I said quietly. "I went back to school. I'm finding it hard to adjust and I feel like no one really understands what I'm going through. I know I never told anyone about you, but it's hard you know", I said, my voice breaking at the end because, I was suppressing a sob. I took a couple of calming breaths.

When I was still held hostage by Adam and his friends in July, I missed my August period. I didn't panic, but I didn't tell any of my kidnappers. I started having mood swings and was very picky on what I wanted to eat. When I missed my September period I was sure that I was pregnant. I was seventeen, pregnant and I wasn't sure who the father was between Adam, Eric, Ryce and Errol.

On the first week of November, I told Adam that I had missed three of my periods and that I thought I was pregnant. I asked him to buy me two home pregnancy tests and he agreed. When he came back with them, I took both and both tested positive. I was six weeks pregnant. I named the baby Tyler as it was a unisexual name, and because, my best friend's name was Tyler. When I told Adam, he told Eric, Ryce and Errol and they pretty much made the decision of whether or not to keep the baby.

They beat me and kicked my stomach over and over until they were all sure my Tyler would be squashed. They left me in the room and Adam told me that he'd get contraceptives to avoid having this problem ever again.

When I was alone in the room I cried silent tears, feeling the excruciating pain in my bruised and beat up body. I felt my jeans soak with blood and grimaced as I tried to get up from the floor where I lost my innocent and pure baby, Tyler Rivers. I felt the tears streaming down my face at the memory.

"I'm s-s-so s-sorry I couldn't protect you, baby", I stuttered and felt the grief crash me. I lay on the grass and sobbed for my baby and myself. I cried for the baby that would never know its mother. I cried for the baby that would never get the opportunity to live a full life. "I'm so sorry Ty. I should have protected you and I didn't... I couldn't... I'm s-s-sorry, baby", I said.

"Why didn't you say anything, Toy?" Lindsay asked me. I was startled and sat up. I turned to look at her and saw that her face was a pure mask of grief. Her eyes were red as if she had been crying.
