True Story

CHAPTER 5

About 5 months later that guy had broken up with me, he said it was too hard for him to watch his roommate flirt with me. I never saw it, I looked down on his roommates like they were my brothers, I would have never did anything. Anyway I had made a dating profile for fun, just to see what all was out there because it was time to move on. As I was scrolling through people, I had found a profile of the guy that used to sit behind me on the bus. (Remember reed). I messaged him and ended up going over that night to watch a movie. We had hung out quite a few times and then the court date finally came. 

I don't think anything in my life had been harder, then seeing Doug again, the judge just gave him a slap on the wrist pretty much. I went to Reeds and hung out for a while, we smoked, got in the hot tub, and watched another scary movie. I decided to come clean to him and tell him everything in case I ever had a break down in front of him. He just held me in a way that no one had before,  I didn't have to say anything but he knew what the silence meant. 

I ended up going over to Reeds every night almost, and things were going really well. we did get serious pretty quickly though, so we decided it would be best if I went and got birth control. I got there and was put on the table to do the operation, and the doctor came in and said " congratulations you're pregnant." I almost passed out, I looked at reed and he just started crying. We went back and forth for a few months on wether we were going to keep the baby or give them up for adoption. I mean it was going to be hard, I was 19 years old and Reed was just about to turn 20. 

It was Christmas and we had decided to keep the baby, I was so attached and Reed was too. As we were opening gifts. I picked up a small one and opened it. It was this really pretty red velvet box. he took it from me, and looked at me, took my hand, and asked me to marry him. I said yes, we knew some of the challenges ahead, but that was ok, we wanted to face them together. We ended up wanting to get married before the baby came so we set the date for March 10, 2018. 

I was so nervous that I would mess something u, but everything was perfect. I couldn't have been happier with how things were turning out. My due date was June 6, 2018. So we kept preparing for that and when the baby decided to not come I had to be induced. At the time Reed was selling some stuff to get some more money saved up for the baby since we were still living with his parents. On my due date, I noticed Reed's phone was going off a ton and he was asleep. So I just text the girl who snapchatted him and said that he was asleep. 

Let me tell you, did that start something, that night I had found out that he had been talking to other girls for several months now and that hurt me. I talked to him about it and we worked it out before the baby came. A week later I was induced and we had our sweet baby boy Benton Alexander.  He was born on June 13th at 7:35 pm, weighing 8 lbs 13 oz. We couldn't get enough of him.
