I was nineteen when it all started to fall apart. I had just graduated college when the little white strip indicated positive. I grip it so hard that I was worried it might break. But maybe if it did it might have all gone away.
Charlie stays with me at first. He says he loves me and I believe him.
We get married but the happiness doesn't last long. We move to to be near his family in Colorado. His mom dies of a heart attack not very long after we had move down there. Maya's busy pursuing her art career in New York and had moved to a peaceful suburb area.
I first start to worry for our relationship when Charlie's drinking binges become longer and lore frequent. A few months later, there's blood and when I go to the doctor they tell me what I had dressed.
I had lost my baby.
With Maya gone too, I realize that I've never felt more alone.
OoOoOoO
"I want a cat," I tell him but he doesn't look up. I don't even think he heard me. But the next day, he drives me to the animal shelter silently. I adopt a cat and named her Tiger.
It's the first shred of hope I've had for our relationship in years.
OoOoOoO
Charlie's appendix ruptures a month later. I'm worried to death about him and he's anxious to get out of the hospital. I wonder how we're suppose to pay the bills. He has to stay for a week. One of his coworkers knocks on our door the third day of him being sick.
"Some mail got delivered to Charlie's work," he says, "and I wanted to make sure you got it."
"Thank you," I tell him. There's two letters from somebody, and when I open up the first one I don't get past the second sentence.
It's from a girl. A girl who's not me.
Even though he's still in the hospital, I take some money, Tiger, and my belongings and rush out of that house crying. I get in my car and just keep driving. Maya calls before I've even reached Colorado City.
"You okay?" She asks quickly.
"How'd you know?"
"Ring power," she states.
"I left him. Charlie got a love letter from some mistress," I sob. It hurts to even say his name.
"How far away are you?"
"I'll be there this time tomorrow." It's a long drive.
"You're bed'll be ready when you get here," is all she says.
