Abby:
It’s been a week since I seen Erick. My mom went back to work and so did my uncle but I got a phone call every hour or two. Chance and Joy stop by like three time and when they were here I got some sleep. While Joy played with Matthew Chance and I would talk and make me lunch or breakfast.
Now I’m sitting in a park bench with Matthew in his stroller having a mild heart attack because today is the day I meet with my friends who happen to be the football team. I got a text from Tommy saying it was time. I took a deep breath, stood up and made my way to the area where we are suppose to met. I could see most of the team were there with some of there girlfriends. Great! I walked up to them.
“Abby!” they all yelled. They looked happy to see me.
“Hey you guys.” I smiled. Tommy went over to my side.
“Hey you guys Abby here needs to tell you something.” they became quiet except one of the girlfriends.
“Is that a baby?” every one looked at the stroller but couldn’t see Matthew because he was in one of those strollers for babies that attaches to the baby seat. I picked up Matthew and he smiled.
“Everyone this is my son Matthew.” I heard some gasp. Some girls looked horrified others came over to Matthew. The boys on the other hand stood there in complete shock.
“Your son?”
“Yes.”
“How old is he?”
“Almost 5 months and yes I conceived him here.” more gasp.
“Who’s the dad?” one of the girls asked.
“He’s not in the picture.”
“Did you tell him?” Tommy spoke for me.
“Of course she did. That bastard didn’t want anything to do with her or the baby.” the guys looked pissed.
“Who is he?”
“I want to kick his ass.”
“Yeah.”
“Yeah who is he?” I felt loved. This time I spoke.
“Guy’s it’s fine. If he doesn’t want to be in Matthew life then it’s fine. I have support from my family, Tommy and I hope you guys.”
“Of course you have support from us. You have always be there for us now it’s our turn.” Jeff said. That brought tears in my eyes.
“Sorry. That means a lot from you guys and I totally understand if you don’t approve of this and want nothing to do with Matthew and me. Everyone is entitle to their own beliefs or opinions ” they stayed quiet until someone spoke up.
“What about school?” Tommy spoke for me again.
“Abby was embarrassed to tell us she is super smart. Last year she wasn’t a junior she was a senior. She finished her school online and all she has to do is pick up her diploma. She also got accepted to Yale but she taking a year off.” they just stared at me. I was getting nervous.
“Are you guys mad at me for lying?” some started laughing.
“No.”
“Why would we?”
“We understand.” again I started crying.
“Sorry.” after that they said hello to the baby. Some left others stayed and played football. The girlfriends left and I was happy with that. My life is turning out great. I have a baby boy that I love, I’m no longer in high school, I have support from family and friends. I am happy.
