Emily's POV
I'm sitting down at the table in the living room of my own apartment. I live by myself, but I was gonna ask Ali to move in with me. After what happened yesterday, I'm not so sure she's gonna want that now with the way I acted. It just caught me by surprise. I guess I should explain.
Sitting on the couch looking at Alison concerned. She's looking at me nervous standing right in front of me. It's starting to scare me because this is the longest we've been in complete silence. "Babe, what's wrong?"
Alison bites her lip then starts, "Em.. please hear what I have to say before you speak. It's just something you need to know." Oh no, if she cheated on me, I'm going to break down.
I nod and listen to her every word. "Last summer when we were broken up, I was with someone else. We only lasted for 3 weeks. I was still hung up on you so I had to end it. We did some things. And." She pause for a second trying to put together what she's trying to tell me.
"A few days ago, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and saw that there was a baby and a note sitting there." I was very confused in that point. What is she trying to tell me?
She sighs and finishes what she needs to say. "Turns out that she had a baby... it's mine. And she left me with her..."
I looked at her speechless. Million thoughts ran inside my head and I just didn't know which one to listen to. All I knew was I needed to be by myself right now.
After snapping out of it, I speak. "You have a baby.."
"Yes.. look I know this is so much. I honestly didn't know. She just left me with her and I don't know if she's going to come back. I don't know what to do." She stops blabbing as she notice that I'm still looking at the ground shocked. "Please say something."
For a while, I stay the way I was. I stand up very quickly, "I have to go.. I need to think." I go straight to the door.
"Babe, please let's talk about this," she says as she follows me.
I shake my head, "I need time for myself.. bye." I close the door shut leaving.
I was in shocked. I didn't know what to do. My girlfriend had a baby with her ex and her ex just left her with it. We just got into college and I don't think I'm ready to take care of a baby with her. This is her child we are talking about.
I stand up and walk around the house trying to clear my mind for just a moment. I found myself looking at the pictures I hung out in the wall of me and Alison. There was one that really caught my eyes. It was the day Alison asked me out.
Alison and I were hanging out by the basketball court. She convinced me to shoot some hoops with her, but at the moment we were resting. It was a warm day, very beautiful outside. Birds chirping, no clouds in the sky, green grass. Almost like what you see in movies. We both sat down on top of this wall which wasn't very tall. We are drinking water and just talking for a while.
