True Colours

Chapter 2

I couldnt believe what I was hearing. The words kept repeating in my head. 'you are a father'. I was too young to be a father. I am too young. I'm not ready. I had a huge drop of guilt and loving this child I haven't even met yet. I want this relationship to work.

I knock on her door. Sweaty palms. Knees weak. I'm so nervous. She answers.
"what are you doing here?" she asks obviously confused.
"I um want to be a part of the babies life. If that's okay with you?" I return with a fear in my voice. She laughs in my face.
"you seriously want to be apart of my life. I wouldn't take yo-"
"I'm not asking for you to take me back I want to be a father to our child"
She sighs.
"Jamye listen. We can just be friends"
Jamye starts to speak with disgust in her voice.
"Whatever but you have to take care of me too" She said yes.
" Thank you. I won't let you down" She turns around and closes the door in my face. Thoughts occur and I reminisce about how we were together. I was happy and I thought we were happy but obviously not.
Flashback
I laugh at her. Dancing stupidly on the dancefloor. She looked like she was having a fun time. Suddenly she grabbed my hand and pulled me up. She moved her arms around my neck. Her long blonde hair dangling from her back in loose curls. Her bright green eyes looking into my grey ones. I wanted her. I needed her. I kissed her slowly and the music started to fade. Without hesitation she kisses me back her plump lips against mine. Her body against me. Nobody was in the room (felt like it). We left the party hand in hand. Nothing could top this feeling.
Flashback over

I walk home with a huge grin on my face. Smiling at how I'm going to be a dad. I see my house. The bricks that run up every wall, the windows with shutters, the front door painted a dark brown with flowers and leaves. God I love to be home. When I walk through the door all I see is mess. Not your family mess. The mess when someone breaks in mess. The mess where everything is everywhere. Mum. Where is she?
"Mum?" I shout "Where are you?" I run upstairs. I see her lying on the grey carpet that was slowly turning red.
"Mum. Mum. It's okay look at me" I say calmly"I'm going to ring an ambulance and it'll all be okay. Just stay awake" I say this as I am dialling 999. The operator is there
"Hello. Theres been a stabbing. I need an ambulance quick. It's 435 Rosemary Road" I say quickly. I don't want to loose my mum.
"is she conscious?" the woman asks.
"yeah"
"apply pressure to the wound and I'll send an ambulance for you now"
"Okay please be quick"
I end the phone call. I stroke her brown hair.
"Mum everything is going to be okay I promise" I say as I look into her deep blue eyes. My hand covered in blood I take my t-shirt off releasing my 6 pack. And I put it over the stab wound. I hear the siren of the ambulance and the paramedics open the door.
"We're up here!" I shout to them and they run up the stairs. My mums eyes start to close and I start to cry.
"Mum I need you so much you can't go" I say with a hoarse voice from crying. The paramedics put her on the strecher after they covered the wound. They put her in the ambulance and took her away.

I went into my mums room collecting clothes for her when she comes out of the hospital. My phone starts ringing.
"Hello?" I ask
"Hello, is that Aaron Adams" a man asks.
"It is. why?"
"we need for you to come to the hospital"
"I'm on my way" I put the phone down and get my bike. I pedal as fast as I can until I get there.
I walk through the front door.
"I was told to come. Aaron Adams" I say panicing
"I'm sorry but your mum didnt make it"
