Dante had just been released from jail and was dying to go home to get something to eat before taking a nice hot shower. Walking off the elevator into his apartment, he walked through the living room to the bedroom to grab some clothes. In his room he noticed a beautiful blonde asleep in his bed. His shower forgotten he made his way over the bed, "Hey beautiful. What're you doing here?"
"Mmmhmm Dante," Lulu murmured as she stirred and looked up at him. "I wanted to be here when you were released."
"Well I have to say I like seeing you in my bed." Dante said with a smirk as leaned down to kiss her.
Dante showered as Lulu watched tv in the room they had planned to go out for breakfast. Coming into the living room Dante sat down on the couch next to his girlfriend, "Hey I wanted to ask you, what happened earlier at the jail?"
"What do you mean?"
"You practically raced out of there." Dante said hoping she would tell him what was bothering her. "is this about the talk about babies before because there's no rush. Like I said I don't want kids right away."
Lulu knew she had to tell Dante the truth, if she waited it would only make things worse. "Dante there's something I have to tell you?" Lulu said.
"You can tell me anything you know that." Dante said brushing a piece of hair out of her eyes.
"I...Before when you were talking about your mom and how she didn't take the easy way out when she found out she was pregnant with you."
"Yeah."
"When I was eighteen I found out I was pregnant. I wasn't ready to take care of a baby I could barely take care of myself and my family wasn't exactly there for me like your mom's was."
"You were pregnant?" Dante said a little shocked at her admission.
"Yeah. I had an abortion Dante." Lulu blurted out. There was no other way to tell him he needed to know the truth.
"I don't know what to say. I need some time to think about this." Dante said as he made his way to the door and walked out.
Lulu was left all alone in the empty apartment and in that moment she had never felt so alone in the world. Dante took the news exactly as she had imagined, she knew he wouldn't think of her the same as he did before. He probably hated her now and once he cooled off he would most likely end things between them. Lulu felt the tears sting her eyes at the thought that she had lost the only man she had ever truly loved. Standing up from the couch she knew she had to get out of there, she had to leave the place where everything reminded her of Dante. She didn't know where she was going but she had to leave.
Making her way to her car she climbed inside as the tears started to fall, jamming her key in the ignition she started the car and tore out the lot. On the road she drove toward the water, the tears were falling and clouding her eyes as she drove. Before she knew it something raced in front of her car as she swerved to avoid it. The next thing she knew she was sliding off the road.
Dante couldn't believe what Lulu had told him, he hadn't expected to hear what she had told him and he just needed sometime to think it over. He immediately felt bad about leaving her all alone at the apartment and was just heading back to talk it over with her when his cell phone rang. "Hello," Dante said hoping it was Lulu.
"Dante, it's Lucky you better get to the hospital. It's Lulu she was in an accident."
"What? Oh my god I'll be right there." he said hanging up as he got in his car and raced to the hospital.
