"So your just going to up and leave Nate?" I followed my boyfriend down the hallway as he made his way down the stairs. I tucked a strand of hair behind my hair and grabbed his arm.

"Don't touch me!" Nate pulled away from me and just stared at me.

I rolled my eyes at him, he was being so extra for no reason, like I need the stress right now. "You are so ungrateful! Why can't you just work with me?" He shouted. Can you guess what we were arguing about.

"Are you serious!?" I sarcastically asked.

"How can I live my dream and try to take care of a family?" I crossed my arms. " I'm only 17! Don't you wanna be rich and famous? Be able to buy whatever you want? That's what I'm trying to give you but your only thinking about yourself."

Yup I was 16 and pregnant. I'm only 2 months and I haven't told anyone, and I don't care what anyone says, I'm keeping my baby!

"All I need is my beautiful baby and boyfriend! My only grasp to a family." A tear slipped my eye. I didn't have much of a family, I never met my dad and my mom only cared for her boyfriend and job. Me and Nate have been friends since I moved to Omaha when I was 8. He was the first person to talk to me, my first friend...well hell! My first everything!

"I'm just not ready for that." Nate said looking away.

I knew what was coming next, but I wasn't ready for it.

" So what now?" I felt a big lump in my throat. "What does that mean?"a tear slipped from my eye, down my face.

"I.... I love you but...."

"I'm keeping my baby." I stood strong and held my head up.

"I'm sorry." And with that he left.

I stood at the bottom of the steps and watched my best friend, my boyfriend and the love of my life walk out the door. This wasn't the first time someone who I loved left, but it sure as hell was the most painful.
