"Anya?" I lifted my head from my pillow as my mom's voice forced its way through the door. She sighed and paused for a minute as her cheek pressed against the door. I dropped my head back on the pillow, facing the wall with a expressionless face."
"Anya, sweety. You've been in there since you got home. Please, at least come eat." I quickly looked up as her hand knocked lightly on the door. I closed my eyes and rested it back on the pillow. Another round of soft knocks vibrated against the door. "Anya? Can I come in?"
The door cracked open and she peeked her small face into the room. The rest of her body followed suit and she made her way towards me. She sat on the corner of my bed, sitting silently with her hands on her lap. I put my head in her lap and she stroked my hair. She pressed other hand to my cheek, running her thumb across my eyelids, picking up any stray tears.
"I know it hurts, but you don't have to cry. " Her voice was soft and sympathetic. She could understand my pain, seeing as my parents didn't get along all the time and their arguments could get rash and nasty.
"Talk to me baby girl. Let momma know what's going on." I rolled over and gazed up at her. "I thought he loved me. I thought we were going to be together forever and that we were going to get married and have little Sav's and Anya's running around our house. He said it himself, the sky's the limit. That he loved me."
She sighed and gave a light hearted smile. "Aw, baby. You're only going to hear that one hundred million times."
I shook my head. "Mom, Sav was different. He made me feel different. I gave him everything and he broke my heart and left me alone to clean up the pieces."
She closed her eyes. "Anya, I don't like seeing you like this." I turned my head. "Mom..."
A tear dropped from her eye. "Your father and I had the most god-awful argument two nights before our wedding over absolute nonsense. I threatened to call off the wedding and he said I should. I cried all night that night. And I woke up the next day, red-eyed, looking an absolute mess. And when I got up, your dad was sitting in the chair across from the bed, sleeping like a baby. The fact that he stayed there, after all that crap I said. He could have easily walked out and found somebody else, but he decided that he would put up with me. We got married like planned and everything went great. Anya, baby girl, How many times have you and Sav broken up? I lost count."
I let out a small laugh and wiped my nose. "Alot."
She nodded. "Ah. You see, Sav was willing to put up with you. And I know from seventeen years of experience that you have to have alot of love in your heart if you are willing to put up with Anya Samantha MacPherson."
I smiled. "Thanks mom."
She grinned and stood up. "Alright then Anya. Come on and eat dinner."
I nodded and sat up. "I'll be right down. Can you just give me a minute?"
Mom nodded and made her way out of the room. Once she closed the door, I made my way into the secluded part of my closet. I reached in to pull out the familiar pink box that had been exchanged too many times. I pulled the lid off and examined the first thing that had been piled on top. A sheet of stickers. I smiled to myself. "Perfect."
I ran my hands further through the box, reminiscing in the past. Deeper in the box, an unopened box remained. It was an inside joke that Sav and I had in the earlier stages of our relationship. A pregnancy box, for when we were supposed to get married and have kids of our own. I smiled and toyed around with the box, putting it off to the side. Inside the box was also a cheap ring Sav won me at the carnival with the claw machine. He somehow managed to write "S+A 4EVER" on the band of the plastic. I smiled as I slipped it over my finger.
"Anya?" My mom's voice rang from downstairs.
I quickly stood up and ran out the closet. "Coming!"
On the way out of my room, I tripped on something and clumsily fell to the floor. I looked up to see the pregnancy test under my foot. I groaned and set it on my dresser, making my way downstairs. My dad smiled as I took my seat at the table. "Glad to see you smiling. Holly J called. You should call her back after dinner."
I nodded to myself and smiled. "Of course."
