Love and Depression

Taken Away From Me

Sophie's Point of View:

Everything is back to the way it should be.

Me and Dante worked out our differences and are back together again but, still have to keep our relationship on the down low.

Back at school, we do what we usually do. I do my assignments while Dante is at his desk grading papers.
And when I thought nothing can go wrong; something did... The police show up at the door along with the principal and last I saw Dante he stepped out of the classroom.
Everyone gathered at the small door window see what was happening and saw that Mr. Flores was being arrested.
I watched from the big classroom windows to see Dante being placed into the cop car.

The news was already spread that Dante Flores, an English teacher was arrested for raping a minor.
That's when my parents sat me down to have a talk with them.
They tried to talk me into testifying against him as though I was the victim here and that I was to shame to speak about it.

"You have no idea what you're talking about. He did nothing wrong, he didn't force me into doing anything. I let him do it and I don't care what you have to say. I love him" I said.

"Sweetheart, this never should've happened and I can't believe that we didn't even see it coming. But, you can't see him anymore" my mom said.

"No, you can't keep me away from the father of my child!" I told her.

"What?" she said while my dad just stood there behind her in shock from the words I said.

"Yeah, the baby that was left on our doorstep it's mine! it's his! And it's your grandson!" I said with a grudge.

"No, you're lying" my mom said.

"Oh Yeah? I thought that this would come out sooner or later but, since I showed no sign of pregnancy we kept it secret. If you want even more proof get my baby tested. The results will come back and say that Dante is the father" I replied.

And with that, I end the conversation by going to my room and shutting and locking the door behind me.

It was Dante's court trial today and me and my family attended it. My parents still wanted me to testify but, I kept denying so, I had nothing to put up against him. But, since raping a minor is not allowed and that Dante has a depression disorder, he will be put into a mental hospital instead of jail.

After the trail, I proved my parents but, mostly my mom wrong about Dante being that father of Noah.
Since, he's father he should have rights to see his son so, I go along with my son to the mental hospital where Dante is being kept at.
While Dante is in the mental hospital, I'm not allowed to see Dante let alone be really close to him. So, I watch from a separate room as he is holding our son.

When the visiting hour is over, the nurse lady brings my son into the room for me to take him but, when I turn around I look back to Dante.
I look at my son and ask the nurse to hold him for a second. I turn around and quickly run into the room towards where Dante is at and jump into his arms to give him one last hug.
I feel his arms wrap around me as he spends me around in his hug.
He puts me down and we both look at each other for a second as we both have our hands on each other's face.

And that's when We kiss for one more time before we are pulled apart and away from each other.
