MORGAN

The rain fell in sheets, each drop a heavy, cold kiss against my face.

I pulled my thin jacket tighter around myself, the once-bright colors now muted by the relentless downpour.

A shiver ran through me as I trudged along the deserted street, my footsteps echoing in the damn silence.

My belly, heavy and round, seemed to sway which each step, a constant reminder of the life growing within me.

I had been walking for what felt like hours, I had damn near forgot the direction that I was going.

My legs aching, and my spirit waning, Grandma had kicked me out the house, a place that had once been filled with warmth and laughter, now cold and filled with chaos.

The thought of facing reality, the world, was way too much to bear. I was a failure, a disgrace, and I didn't know where else to turn.

Journey, was my last hope. Although I had wronged her and slept with her fiance, she had forgiven me. She didn't hate me like the rest of the world.

I needed a place to stay, someone to talk to, and someone who believed in me and would understand. Journey was that person.

As I approached Journey's house, which nestled among towering trees, my heart pounded in my chest.

I hesitated for a moment, my fingers trembling as I reached for the doorbell.

Journey had done enough for me, especially after what I had done to her.

Asking her if I could stay was asking for way too much from her.

The sound of the bell echoed through the house, a few seconds later, the door creaked open.

Journey, wearing a pink robe, stood in the doorway. "Morgan what the fuck are you doing here? You're soaking wet!"

I didn't respond. I fell to my knees, my body shaking with sobs.

"Journey please.... I'm so sorry. I'm a mess. I've wronged everyone. I'm a whore and now I'm pregnant and I don't even know what to do. Grandma kicked me out and now I have no place to stay. I lost everything."

Journey knelt down beside me, her arms wrapping around my trembling shoulders. "It's okay Morgan. You're safe here. Come inside."

As I stepped into the warmth of Journey's home, I knew that I had finally found a place to belong.

The warm steam enveloped me as I stepped into the shower of Journey's bathroom.

The hot water instantly soothed my aching muscles and washed away the grime of the day.

As I scrubbed my body, I couldn't help but think about the events they led me to Journey's doorstep.

I couldn't believe all this shit had happened in one day.

After my shower, I wrapped myself in a soft towel and walked into the living room.

Journey was sitting on the couch, a glass of wine in her hand.
