Dear John
Chapter 1: Mistake
Suzie paced up and down in her living room, wringing her hands and slightly perspiring. She had big news but couldn't tell anyone for fear of being judged...she couldn't even tell Caroline. Taking a deep breath she finally sits in a nearby chair. Thoughts are running through her mind a mile a minute, how could this have happened?
Standing quickly she goes to the kitchen to get a drink of something, anything. Suzie looks in the fridge and grabs some orange juice and chugs it ravenously from the carton. As she was putting it back on the shelf it slips out of her hand and falls to the floor. She picks it up and returns it to its proper place. She goes back into the living room to contemplate further. Suzie realizes she needs to tell someone who can help her with this predicament so she decides to call Sal. With trembling fingers she dials the number.
"Hello?" Hearing Sal's voice made tears flood Suzie's eyes.
"Sal? It's Suzie. I need to talk to you about something important, can I come round?"
"Of course. I'll see you soon, then"
"Thanks very much, Sal!" She breathes a sigh of relief. "I'll be over. Bye-bye."
Grabbing her coat, she's out the door. She sprinted the 10 minute journey and knocks on the front door.
"Come on in, Suzie, I just put the kettle on." Suzie enters and walks into the kitchen where Sal pours her a cup of tea. Suzie can feel the tears stinging again but doesn't try to stop them this time. A few ran down her cheeks
and she brushes them away.
"Sal, I've done something terrible! I don't know what I'm going to do."
"What's happened?"
"Well... I think I'm pregnant but it might not belong to Charles."
