Not Alone

Chapter 1: Leaving

I love her. She is the best thing that has happened to me. I tell myself as I wait for her to come out of the doctor's office. Then I see her. Her eyes red, make up creeping down her face, and her cheeks drenched with tears. She looked so upset, which of course worried me but, I couldn't help but be in awe by her beauty. I new it was the right thing to do, to stay with her. Not just because I love her, but because she needs me.

"Babe?" I asked a little worried but I knew her emotions were raging with hormones so I wasn't to worried.

"I lost her." She sniffled out.

My smile drooped over, my eyes beginning to fill with tears. But I dismissed them so one of us could stay strong. "What. No. How?" I say stammering through my words.

"I don't know how I just did. I have a defective body or something!" She screams now growing angry!

Cassidy was only 2 months along but we had already began to start growing fond of the little body running our lives. We had already started to pick out names, Liyla if it was a girl, and Marcus if it was a boy.

"We'll get through this." I say my voice cracking with emotion.

"I don't think I can."

"It'll take time but we will. You have me Cassidy."

"I don't want you. You remind me to much of what could have been." Then without another word more she was turning out of the hospital doors, hailing a cab. And Just like that I had lost the 16 year old love of my life, supposed to be mother of my child, and soon to be wife. My heart burned as I fell to my knees with no will to hold back my tears.

I tried to get up, to run after her but my legs were like jello and my eyes like a river that blurred my vision. I tripped right after I tried to get up. I sat there for about 30 minutes my head tucked into my knees, I felt so vulnerable but I didn't care. I just want Cassidy and the baby back.

"Sir?" someone tapped on my shoulder.

I attempted to wipe my eyes then looked up to see nurse looking at me with eyes that were full of sympathy.

"Yes?" I say and with the one word the water works were back.

"Do you need some help?"

"Umm.. No." I say now attempting to stand back on my feet. Wiping the tears from my eyes.

"Okay. I'm sorry but if you don't need anything we are going to have to ask you to stop siting in the middle of he hallway."

I then was out the door. My heart was now pumping in my ears, as I ran through puddles of rain to my car. Once I was in my car I sat there for a while my head on the steering wheel. Why would she do this to me? I thought my heart was shattered into a million tiny little pieces. I felt as if my life was over.
