[Chloe POV]
I was walking home from my appointment at the doctors office to see why I haven't been feeling the best lately. Turns out I just happened to be...pregnant I was so excited but extremely nervous to tell my boyfriend of 3 years, Derek. I mean, we haven't really been careful lately..I just hope he takes it calmly. I finished walking up the stairs of our apartment complex and just rounded to corner to see our apartment door straight ahead. I picked up my pace a little, and quickly unlocked the door.
"Derek I'm home!" I yelled out only to get no response. I walked around our two bedroom apartment looking for my amazing boyfriend. Only to find out he wasn't here. I walked out of our bedroom and into our kitchen, going to look for something to eat, which is when I noticed a piece of paper on the kitchen counter.
Dear Chloe,
I'm sorry, but I'm leaving. I can't do this anymore. I'm sick of just...us. I can't sleep most of the time because I feel guilty, I feel like I am going to hurt you even though I never would on purpose. This is why I am leaving. I'm done with us, I already took my name off our lease and I left my key to the apartment in the drawer in the kitchen. I never meant for this to happen, I feel like you are holding me back from perusing my career...as well as I am to you. I know this is sort of out of the blue, but I think we need to take a break and who knows maybe in a few years we will get back together. For now, I am sorry, but we are done. I love you, Chloe. I always will.
P.S. This isn't your fault...I also changed my phone number so that we don't try to get in contact with each other.
I'll love you forever and always.
Yours truly, Derek.
*4 years later*
Four years ago, Derek broke my heart. He left me alone, and pregnant. A few months after he left I had to quit going to school to try and become a director. I had to get a full-time job as a waitress in a little diner. I moved out of our apartment we had together and moved in to a run down, hole in the wall apartment on the other side of Manhattan. I then gave birth to two beautiful twin boys, Trent and Laith, on November 13th. I was so happy, but I was still hurt over Derek leaving me. Trent looked exactly like his father, black hair and piercing green eyes, Laith on the other hand had Derek's eyes as well but got my dirty blonde hair. They became the center and soul of my existence. I was happy, I had myself a little family.
When the boys turned two, my life went downhill. I had to get another job in order to pay the bills and I was working nonstop. Only one evening my world turned upside down.
I was walking home from work and was going to let the babysitter off for the night when I passed by an ally way. As I walked by I heard a baby crying. At first I thought I was dreaming, but I heard it again. I carefully entered the dark ally, heading toward the noise. I found the source of the noise, a little baby in a box tossed inside the dumpster like trash. I picked him up and looked around to see if his family was somewhere nearby. I waited an hour, nobody came to claim the little baby boy. I ended up taking him to the hospital to get him checked out. The nurses told me, he was only a few days old. They also found out that the baby had type 1 diabetes and had a heart murmur. I was so shocked at how someone could leave a poor innocent child in a dumpster!
That night I ended up adopting the baby boy, naming him Charlie. I took him home, to my other boys which is why my life turned hectic. Now Trent and Laith are about to turn four in 3 weeks and Charlie just turned two.
I was sitting in the living room watching TV while all my boys were playing in their room. I flipped the channel to the news only to see the one person I've tried so hard to forget these past four years, Derek. I turned up the volume on the TV to hear better.
"So, Derek Souza is here with us today to share with us about his life and how he became such a well known MMA fighter. So, Derek, what inspired you to become such a good fighter?" the reporter asked.
"Well, I've always have been bigger then most people and I have always been protective over the ones I love." The asshole replied, I mean Derek.
"interesting. Well we have all heard about the break up between you and Amanda. What happened?" the reporter asked cocking his head at Derek.
"Jim. It just wasn't meant to be. She was a very sweet loving person, but we just didn't connect." Derek said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Okay, what is your type that you look for in women?" Jim asked intrigued by his answer.
"Blondes. I like blondes, but the personality counts the most. I look for a woman with heart who isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes in, who doesn't back down without a fight. I'm looking for a woman who is confident, yet extremely caring and self-less 100% of the time." Derek said, with a far away look in his eyes.
"Seems to me that you've already met that woman. Who is she?" Jim asked while taking a sip from his coffee mug.
Derek scratched the back of his head nervously, "she was the love of my life 4 years ago and still is today. I was the one who broke up with her in order to become a MMA fighter. I thought...it was a good choice, but it became the worst decision and biggest mistake of my life."
"umm, who was this woman? And what was she like?" Jim questioned Derek. I was just screaming in my head that it wasn't me, it couldn't be me. He left me, he broke my heart. But then I heard Derek's reply...
"She's the most beautiful, and most caring person in the world. She had long gorgeous blonde hair and bright crystal blue eyes. Her name was Chloe Saunders, and I'm still in love with her today."
I felt my eyes bug out of my head and I turned off the TV robotically. I couldn't believe my ears, what the fuck? How could he love me so much yet he fucking left?! I let out an agitated sigh then heard Charlie ask me something.
"sorry, honey. What did you ask me?" I asked looking down at my little brunette and blue eyed boy.
"why did that man in the TV say he was in w-ove with you, Momma?" he asked sweetly.
"Well...uhh a long time ago we were in love, but he left without saying goodbye." I replied quietly while looking at my 3 boys that just walked in to the living room where I was currently sitting on the couch.
"that's not nice. He shouldn't do that because he might hurt someone's feelings. Right Momma?" Trent said sternly.
"Yes. But we all make mistakes." I said on the verge of crying. I felt a tear escape my eye and slowly tumble down my cheek and onto the floor.
"Don't c-wry. Momma its okay. We w-ove you! " Charlie told me as he climbed into my lap and the twins sat on either side of me and wrapped their tiny arms around me in a hug.
"I love you guys too! The 3 of you, are my whole world; don't ever forget that." I replied as more tears fell out of my eyes. I couldn't believe that Derek said that...on TV let alone...and yet he still left me 4 years ago to the very day that happened to be today.
