Rough Patches
Amy gasped as she looked through her mail and saw a letter from Ben, she was still in New York and she missed everyone so much. She had been there for a week and it had felt like a month being away from John. She ripped open the envelope and started reading.
My Beautiful Amy,
I am so sorry, I never meant for this to happen and I know when you read this letter you will be shattered. At one point I had a dream of marrying you and having a large family, don't get me wrong I still want to marry you but I am sure you will not want to see me much less marry me after you read this letter. We were going to be amazing parents and our children would have been so talented, they would take after their mother of course. I have so many regrets about everything, especially that night. As you well know, Adrian and I had sex. The night you said you did not want me back for good I stayed outside your house for hours just thinking about what I had messed up. Adrian came to the car and things just..happened...I was trying to get back at you and Adrian was trying to get back at Ricky. This also happened a while back and I am not trying to bring up this to wound you, especially since we are just now starting over in our relationship. I am bringing up this sore subject to tell you that Adrian is pregnant. It hurts to admit it but she is. She is also going to keep the baby and I am going to be there for her and the baby. I'd be lying to myself and you if I said I would not help take care of our child. Amy please don't be mad at me. I love you and I always will. I know I should be telling you this in person but maybe reading it will help heal the wound. I am not breaking up with you, that is your choice whether you want to be together or not, I hope you choose to stay together but if you don't, I understand.
Love you forever and always,
Ben
Amy could not believe what she had just read. She through the letter down on the floor, curled up on the bed and cried herself to sleep.
