Marriage Before Love

7

I couldn't sleep that night. I kept thinking about what happened the night I slept with Maliky and what happened a couple of hours after. I was so careless and now I'm paying for it. This is my punishment.

Though I love my baby already, I can't help but think that I'm not ready for this. I'm not ready to be a mom. I'm not going to give my child up for adoption, and I'm definitely not going to do an abortion. I'm going to Keep my child and I'm going to love him/her no matter what, but it doesn't change the fact that I am so scared right now.

Single parenting is rather difficult and though I plan to do what's best for my child, I can still slip along the way. I don't even know weather I should tell Maliky or not.

The morning I go to class and saw him, I got so angry. I don't know what got over me, but I remember walking up to him and slapping him in his face.

"I hate you Maliky Foster!", I shouted at him before storming out of the the room.

I knew he was following me, but I didn't care. He did this to me. I'm pregnant with his child and I haven't even started my career yet.

"Zanya!.." he shouted my name angrily.

I didn't stop, I kept striding across the campus. That was until I felt someone grab my upper arm and spun me around to face them. The person being none other than Maliky Foster.

"You slapped me." he stated, gripping my arm tighter, but not enough to hurt me.

"You deserved it you slimy bastard" I replied trying to free myself from his grip

"So I wasn't one when I was f..." he stopped taking a few deep breaths before asking "Why?.."

I didn't answer. Instead, I pulled my hand from his and ran. I didn't stop until I was inside my dorm room with my door locked.
