That should be me
"That should be me, holding your hand, that should beme making you laugh, That should be me,this is so sad, That should be me, That should beme, that should be me feeling your kiss, That should be me buying you gifts, This is so wrong, I can't go on, til you believe that that should beme." -That should be me by Justin Beiber and Rascal Flatts

Italics means a flashback, or memory.
Stars. Kissing under the stars. Holding me in the meadow. Leaning against the rock, him teaching me about the animals and plants in the forest. Carrying me over mud puddles in my brand new white dress. Him feeding me strawberries. Him admitting his love to me, and me returning the words. Me surprising him when he was sick, him playing with my hair deep in the woods. Me, dressing up his little sister, Posy, and him comforting me in the loneliness at home. The pink ribbon, which he traded the rabbit we caught together, which he bought for me. Promising each other our futures.
No. This can't be. Maybe he'll be happy. Maybe he'll yell at me. Maybe he'll hold me in his arms.
He had posy in his arms and I couldn't help but have my heart melt. He was amazing with kids.
"One day we're going to get married and have kids of our own," He said.
Too ironic. Because that memory came, when the little plus sign on the test did as well.
I ran to the meadow. The only place I knew he would be, where I could tell him. Tears were streaming down my face. But he did promise.
"S-stop Madge," He said,
"Why?" I said seductively.
"Because if y-you don't, we will end up going all the way." He replied. I paused for a moment before whispering. "Do you promise to take care of me, no matter what happens,"
"Yes," He whispered back, before his lips crashed into mine.
My mind was filled with what he would say. Would he pick me up and spin me around. Tell me everything was ok. Or break his promise and leave me. He would never do the last one. But when I reached the meadow, I stopped in my tracks. Much worse than the third one. He was with Katniss, my best friend. Well, besides him and Peeta my only friend. She smiled at him while he brushed a strand of hair out of her face. He gently stroked her cheek. Then he cupped her face, and kissed her. A hard, passionate kiss. He then moved his hands to her waist. I wanted to scream. Or Cry. Or Curse. Or all three at once. After he pulled away and smiled, I felt tears blurring my vision. I ran. Faster than I ever had. Thats when my mind went blank. I fell in the snow, and blacked out.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
I woke to some doctors working on me.
"My baby," my mother said. I hadn't seen my mother out of her bed since I was maybe…5? She has this disease, and I take care of her. I was shocked to see her there.
"Mom?" I said.
"Yes baby."
"What happened?"
She wiped a tear from her face before she said, "Honey the disease I have is…hereditary. It appears you have it too."
Thats when I started crying. My mother stays locked up in her room. Either in horrible pain or knocked out by morphling.
"And honey."
"Yes mama?"
"Apparently you're…pregnant as well. About 7 weeks along"
Crap. This wasn't how I was planning on telling her. I planned to tell Gale first. Thats why I ran to the woods.
"Mom, I'm so so so sorry." I said, noticing the tears coming back.
"Honey its ok. your father and I are ok about it. We were angry, but with this disease, you'll have to have kids young." She said. "So who's the father? Your father and I thought to have the wedding sometime after the baby was born-"
"I don't know the father." I blurted out. I couldn't marry Gale after he cheated on me.
"How do you not know the father?" My mother asked.
"um… I was drunk. One night stand. Some guy from the Seam." I said.
"Drinking as well! Madge we raised you better than this!" My father said, appearing in the doorway.
"I'm sorry daddy." I said. "Can we just keep this low profile. I'll raise the baby." I said, remembering I was going to give this child whatever my mother and I have.
