[Slow Updates]
Nora thought her life was good. She had a Bestfriend who loved her dearly and a good footing in college. But what happens when she gets wasted and end up in bed with Jesse?
Jesse Never wanted to bring her into his life. But whatever h...
"James! Are you ok!?" I ran to him checking out his face. Blood seemed to be oozing out of him from everywhere on his face. His nose forehead, and lips. Both his eyes were swelling up and his lips were all busted.
"Nora. You never told me he was crazy!" He yelled at me.
"I didn't know he was going to do that, plus you didn't call to tell me you were coming home. If you had, maybe, we could've prevented all this!" I yelled back. Who does he think he is raising his voice at me but given the current situation, I can't be mad.
Rosy's voice yelled in the background and I didn't know who to console first. Ultimately I chose my baby. Why else? James is a grown-ass man and can handle himself...mostly. I rocked her up and down, side to side until she fell asleep again before laying her down back in her crib.
"How dare he. I'm going to go. Don't call. I need to think. If he's coming back into your life I'm gonna need some space before we continue anything." The shock of his words left me stunned. All I could do was stare at the door as he locked it and the hum of his car engine before it disappeared entirely. My phone was going off but I couldn't get it. Falling to the floor, silent tears fell from my eyes knowing I would probably never see James again.
With Jesse making his appearance, my world was split. Either let Jesse see Rosy and try to co-parent with him or runaway again, risk being found out again, and be happy with James. A silent sob racked my body and I couldn't move. Despair and sadness took over and I just didn't know what to do.

The next day I spent most of it with Rosy trying not to let my sadness take over my life. I still had a child to raise.
"Hello." I opened the door and was immediately enveloped in Lisa's arms.
"Oh my gosh! I was so worried about you. Where's James? Is he ok?" She backed away from me looking around but then stopped once noticing he wasn't anywhere near me. Lisa looked at me and sympathy filled her eyes along with sadness and all I did was cry.
"He's not coming back is he?" She asked and I nodded in the midst of my sobs. What am I going to do? Raising Rosy by myself is gonna be so hard if you take away James' income.
"Look." She pushed me away and held my shoulders, making direct eye contact. "We are going out and Lincoln can watch Rosy and if you want...maybe Jesse can too?" Just his name started to make my blood boil. He caused this from the start. If he had never talked to me or If I had never gone to that party. If his life had just stayed away from mine, maybe, just maybe my life would be normal. But then I wouldn't have Rosalyn and I wouldn't change anything if it meant I would have her.
Wiping my tears I nodded. "Ok. But I can't go out looking like this." I motioned at my outfit. I was still in my pajamas and had baby spit, drool, and other unworldly contents on me.
"Yeah no, that's not happening. C'mon, let's raid your closet while I call Linc." She smiled and walked in, closing the door behind her.
