"No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that matters, Tell me who do I run to?
Look, don't get me wrong, I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you. Hold me like I'm more than just a friend. Give me a memory I can use. Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?"

I silently cried to myself as I threw my suitcase in the trunk.

This is exactly why I didn't want to tell her, I knew she'd throw everything out of proportion. And the fact that Anthony doesn't want our baby only makes it worse.

I got into the driver's seat before breaking down into sobs.

"What am I going to do?" I cried, "How am I going to raise a child with no support and no place to live? God, please...please make a way. Please promise me that my child will be safe." I sobbed

I took a deep breath before starting my car and pulling out of the driveway, the same driveway that was in front of a place that I used to call home.

I'm going to give it another try, I'm going to give him one more try.

I drove to his house in silence, even music couldn't put me in a good mood.

I hope this time is better than the last time I tried to talk to him.

I tried to hold back tears as I thought about what happened when I told him about my pregnancy.

•Three days ago•

I sat on the bathroom floor, hugging my knees. I was scared, I was worried, but most importantly...I was anxious.

I was anxious to see if the result was one that would change my life forever.

My timer went off loudly, signaling that it was time to check.

This was my third pregnancy test.

I took two earlier, and both were positive.

I wanted this test to be negative because I hoped that something was wrong with the tests I took earlier.

I closed my eyes and shakily picked up the pregnancy test.

I took a much needed deep breath before opening my eyes.

I almost immediately dropped the test and backed up against the bathroom door.

I sobbed loudly as I slid down to the floor.

I was only loud because Trinity was away tutoring Xabriel and my mom was at work as usual.

"N-No! W-Why?"

What's Anthony going to say?

What is my mom going to say?

I held my head in my hands as I cried a river.
