AND THEY DID; HER PROBLEMS FOLLOWED HER. He was her problem. A problem in which I, myself cannot solve. This problem led to an even greater conflict. Yet this was puppy love that came to an early conclusion.

❝When were you planning on telling me?❞

He shattered his wine bottle on the ground and shoved her.

❝Were you just planning on making this another secret of yours? Were you trying to keep my kid away from me?❞

Then, she snapped. She was exhausted from being fought for, fought with, and running away only to be followed. She shoved back and screamed from the top of her lungs.

❝I'm not some game for you to play, and neither will this baby. Neither of us are going to see it, because I'm putting it up for adoption where it can have a life your cretinized self cannot provide!❞

His eyes watered as he tried to give her just a remainder of his affection. Yet she had no love left for him. She removed roses from a vase and held it etiquettely in front of her. Then, she tore them apart malevolently.

❝I'm not like these flowers for you to tear apart! You're dead to me, dead!❞

Suddenly, she realized that history repeats itself. Red and blue lights and loud sirens filled the room. She dropped the stems of the flowerless roses and wiped yet another tear.

And although she would never feel it, I hugged her proudly and caressed her strawberry blond hair.

❝ Maybe I'm doing something correctly.❞
