Prologue- Jamie Is Over
It had been six months since Jamie left me and I didn't know what to do. I thought that I was over him. Then, I found out that I was pregnant with his child a month after he left. I found out that the baby was a boy a few weeks ago. When I first found out, I debated what to do. I didn't know whether I should have the baby or not. I was alone, and did not have a steady job so I wasn't sure I could raise a child. Yet, I decided I would because I didn't have the heart to give the child up, or get an abortion. I was responsible for this child, and I decided I had to raise the baby myself.
I initially tried to get in touch with Jamie. After all, the baby is his responsibility too, and I was not going to prevent him from being a part of the child's life if he wanted to. I didn't manage to get in touch with him though. I left countless messages with his secretary and on his voicemail, but he never got back to me. I actually called Elise, to try to get in touch with him.
Elise apologized to me. She told me that she couldn't stay with him. She felt too guilty. Elise and I had actually become pretty close too since our first conversation. She had come with me to a lot of my doctor's appointments, and been my biggest support through this pregnancy. Elise had even moved in with me, to help me cover the rent. She had been my roommate, but slowly it had developed into more. I didn't know how, or why. I had never liked another woman before, and the only person I ever felt so strongly for had been Jamie. Elise had defined love for me. Now, she, not Jamie, was preparing to help me raise my son. The chapter in my life that included Jamie was finally over, or so I believed.
