Pregnant? I still couldn't wrap my head around that concept, even though I had all the pregnancy test's to prove it. A fact I failed to mention as I stood face to face with the "father" of my unborn child.
"We need to end things" was all I managed to choke out, his eyes wide with worry.
"What do you mean? I thought things were going good between us? We haven't been together that long but.." His words trailed off, as he saw my blank expression. This was me saving him from a life stuck with me, a life I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted to be a part of.
After all, we'd only been seeing each other almost two months and we weren't even officially a couple. There was no doubt that when the time was right, this man would be an excellent father. Right now, with me? I doubt anyone would want to be tied down like that. After all, I'm the one that forgot to take my birth control pills, not him. The last thing I needed, was for this man to think I was trying to trap him with a kid.
My eyes blank, my words flat, no sign of emotions at all. "This isn't working out, not at all. Besides, I'm going home. I need to get away from this place. Trust me, you'll find somebody new out there." Jetsam just nodded, a loss for words I suppose.
My heart broke as I gave him one last kiss before walking off, not taking a glance back as I hopped in my car. My hands shaky as I grabbed the wheel, doing my best not to lose it right then and there. This was for the best, the only words repeating in my head. My job now, was to take care of myself and not depend on anyone. Just be able to provide the best life for my son or daughter that I could. No family. No friends. No boyfriend. Just me and my unborn child.
Wiping my eyes quickly, adjusting the rear view mirror, taking one look at the man standing there before starting the car and driving off. Deciding the best thing for me to do right now was to go back home and pack after doing some research. A fresh start and a new life, somewhere nobody knew me and I can just be myself. Quickly grabbing my phone, I texted the only person I knew that wouldn't judge and would help me. If I was going to start fresh, a new name and identity is what I needed. My sister Andrina. Sure, I could've texted my dad but why put him through all the worry. After all, he would probably want me home and under his protection. Not to mention, the last thing he needed right now was to find out that I was pregnant and left my unborn babies father. Andrina was rich and had connections, besides she was good at keeping secrets.
