Chapter 1
I was somebody. I think to myself. I was but who am I now? I have no life anymore. Ever since the boy I would've lost anything to be with left town, I have no desire to do anything anymore. My mind keeps flashing back to the sad news.
Flashback: I was wondering about Lucas since I hadn't seen him in a couple days. I figured he'd just taken a vacation or something so I didn't bother much, until I got to my front door and found a letter. I quickly opened it and found that it was from Lucas. It said:
Hey Pretty Girl,
I know you don't want to talk to me anymore, but I have to tell you something. I am sorry for what I've done to everyone, including you. In fact, I've been regretting it so much that I figured I needed to leave town. I've gone to Charleston with Keith and don't know when I'll be back, if at all.
Hope I get to see you one day, and hear you laugh like you used to. You will always be in my heart, and I will always miss you.
Take care of yourself,
Lucas
I keep fingering the letter in my coat pocket, wanting to take it out but pulling my hand back like it stings every time. I'm scared and don't know what to do. Yet, this letter is my only source of comfort in my current situation. I pull it out and read it one more time, hearing his voice and almost feeling his warm touch. I'm quickly snapped out of my trance by a lady that says "Well Brooke, you're definitely pregnant."
