Broken- Anthony Ramos Love Story

Chapter 2

Desi's POV
A whole weekend had gone by. Its my first rehearsal, this is a new chance. Its also Lily's first day of school. (Lily turned 5.) Time goes by too fast. I got her dressed and made her breakfast. I was prepared for tears, prepared for screaming. We pulled in front of the school. "Can you walk me in?" Lily asked. Her big brown eyes almost made me cry. I grabbed her hand and walked in with her. She hugged me tightly. "I don't want to go." She said firmly. I kissed her cheek, wiping her tear away. "I'll be here right when you're done, I promise." I said soothingly. "OK" she agreed. "I love you" I said giving her one last hug. "Love you too." I walked out the school. As soon as I got in the car, I cried. I couldn't help it, she's growing up so fast.

I went straight to the RR Theater. My eyes were still puffy. I walked into the theater, I knew how to get to the dressing rooms. Renee Elise Goldsberry, Jasmine Cephas Jones and Destiny Ramirez, was on the front of the door. I walked in, I was greeted by a light skinned woman, she had curly hair similar to mine. "Hi, you must be Destiny." She said. "I am, you can call me Des." I said. "I'm Jasmine, but you can call me Jas. And this is Renee." She said pointing to a woman skinnier, with pretty straight hair. "Pleasure to meet you." She said. "Same here." I said. Lin suddenly walked in, "Good you all met each other, were all meeting on the stage to introduce ourselves." We walked out onto the stage, "OK who wants to go first." Lin said, as I was sitting down. "Me" a voice said. "Hi I'm Anthony Ramos, I'm 23 and most people call me Ant. I play Phillip Hamilton and John Laurens" I turned to see him. There he was in the flesh, standing before me. He didn't notice me. I went next, " Hi I'm Destiny Ramirez, I'm 22 and most people call me Desi or Des. I play Eliza." I saw his eyes stay on me, stunned. The introductions went by fast. I felt his eyes on me the whole time. What am I gonna do?

I went straight to my dressing room. I was the only one there, Renee had to leave early because of her daughter's daycare. Jas, Oak and Daveed went to go get lunch. I heard a knock at the door, I went to open it. There he was, standing in front of me. Those chocolate eyes staring me down. "I-I didn't know-" He cut me off with a kiss. His lips were gentle on mine. I wanted to stay there forever. I snapped back into reality, pulling away from the kiss. He looked at me confused. "I'm sorry, that was a bad idea." He said looking apologetic. I wanted to kiss him again, then I remembered.

Flashback
"I'm pregnant." I said. He just stared at me. He looked angry and scared at the same time. We stared at each other for a few minutes. "When are you getting it taken care of?" He asked firmly. I knew what he meant and it made my blood boil. "I'm not getting an abortion, Ant." I was crying. I couldn't help it."I can't be a father at 17, I have a life Des." He was being so selfish. "I'm only 16, I know we can do it if we try." He was silent. Then he left, he stopped talking to me. It was like our relationship never existed.

I looked at the time, Lily would be out of school soon." I have to go." I replied. I pushed past him got in my car and drove off. Tears were streaming down my face, I wouldn't let him hurt me like that again. I pulled in front of Lily's school. "Momma" she screamed running towards me. I gave her a big hug. "How bout we go to Chipotle for dinner." I suggested. "Yay" Lily screamed jumping up and down. After we ate, I took Lily home and gave her a bath. "Can we sing again?" Lily asked. "What song?" I said. "Sunrise." She said. (In the Heights)
As we sang she drifted off to sleep. I wasn't tired, my brain wouldn't shut up. All I could think about was Ant. I still loved him, even after everything. I eventually drifted off to sleep.

Ant's POV
My head was pounding. I drank the pain away last night. I still loved her, were still young we could have years together. My thoughts were interrupted by a voice I recognized....

Carleigh?
All the memories of last night came crawling back.
Last Night
"You look hot, tonight." I slurred.
"You don't look to bad yourself." Carleigh responded. Before I knew it we were making out. "Why don't we take this to my place." I suggested. We called a cab and you get the picture.

I had sex with Carleigh. "Did we-" Carleigh began. "Yeah we did." I said. She gasped, realizing what we did.     "I-I'm gonna go." She stammered. I didn't stop her. What have I done?
