"Who did this, Karen?" I ask for the hundredth time.

"Josh." She finally says and my heart stops.

"Josh?" She nods. "What- he.."

"He's back and he wants revenge or some shit! It was over 10 years ago! He said that we disappeared and He couldn't find us.. Until now. He's coming after you. He saw us at the restaurant the other day. He knows you're pregnant, Mia!" Harry is upstairs, so thank goodness he can't hear any of this.

"Do you still have those pictures?" I ask and She nods.

"Yeah, do you?" She says.

"I think so. They're up in the attic. How much did we owe him? Because I can get the money, if I explain this to Harry, I'm sure-"

"He said he doesn't want money anymore. And that we had a chance to give it to him.. Mia, I am so sorry."

I stand up, starting to freak out. When I was a teenager, I had gotten into a pretty rough life. I was into drugs, alcohol.. And Josh was my drug dealer. He was my boyfriend at the time, but we broke it off.

Karen and I were drug buddies, as If you would call it.

My hand flies to my stomach. "What do we do? Harry doesn't know-"

"Harry doesn't know about what?" Harry's voice comes from behind and I stop.

I turn around.

"Harry." I sigh, still freaking out. "Now, you don't know some things about me.. Some bad things."

"What?" He's starting to get angry.

"When I was a teenager.. I was stupid, okay?" I start to cry. "I was into drugs, I was an alcoholic.. I sliced my wrists everyday because the pain became so unbearable."

Karen watches me tell this story. She's the only one who knows my story other than my mom.

"I was into parties, I was practically a slut. As if." I sob, remembering every detail. "I would go to parties, get drunk, get high. Then, I would go somewhere with this guy Josh.

"We were dating or whatever, but he was also my drug dealer. I owed him money, lots of it. But since we were dating, he said it was fine. Well, we broke up and I disappeared.

"I checked into rehab and got sober. When I came out, I met you. I was so scared that I was going to fall back into my habits. That's why whenever we went to parties ourselves, I wouldn't drink alcohol."

"So.. You lied to me about your whole life?" He asks.

"I didn't want you to think different of me. And now he's after me! He's got Karen and now he's coming to get me!" I sob even harder.

I want so badly to crawl into Harry's arms, for him to tell me that it'll be alright. But, he's too angry. I don't think he wants me anywhere near him.

"Mia!" He sits down on the sofa, putting his head in his hands. When he looks back up, his eyes are filled with tears.

"I'm sorry, Harry." I apologize, not knowing what else to do.

"You've had a rough life, I know. I'm not going to divorce you, don't ever think that. I still love you, always, Mia. I Just don't get why you kept half your life from me."

"I don't know, Harry! I forgot about it; I moved on. I didn't want to keep bringing it up every time someone asked."

"Why'd you cut? Was it him?" He asks.

"I attempted suicide a few times, but someone either caught me or it didn't work. When I was 16, Josh pressured me into sex and.. Not long After that, I started cutting and everything. All my friends were drug addicts and my boyfriend abused me and raped me every day. I was lost. I wanted so badly to get away.."
