Chapter 1:

Drip. Drip. Drip.

It started to rain, but I couldn't move. I've been here so many times in the past three years. But, this time it was different. This time it was my last goodbye for a while and it felt like my feet were glued to the ground. To this day, I still can't believe it. Shawn Miller, my first boyfriend and my first love was taken away from me, Valerie Carter.

The day after Shawn turned eighteen, he left to boot camp for the Army. That October, I found out some shocking news and I had to tell Shawn, but instead of him coming home like he was supposed to, he immidiatly got shipped to Iraq right after he graduated from boot camp.

November 10th, was the worst day of my life. It had been cloudy, gloomy, and it was raining all day. Shawn's mother: Alice came over to my parents house to inform me, she got news that Shawn was killed in action. I didn't believe it at first, I thought it was a some kind of joke. The day after that, the Army had the body sent to the morgue here in Portland, Oregon.

I went with Alice to identify the body and sure enough, there was Shawn, laying on the gurney with blood all over his face. I started to puke in the sink next to me, then broke down into tears on the floor.

There was a funeral for Shawn two days later. The clouds had stuck around, because it was raining off and on during the whole service. As everyone left to their cars, after they lowered the casket, I stood there in disbelief and silently crying. My brother, Daniel and my best friend, Marie walked up beside me, trying to get me to leave with them, and that's when I told them.

I'm pregnant.

They were in shock as well as my parents, Dylan and Olivia. They got mad at me at first and asked me if I wanted to do an adoption, because I was fourteen. After thinking about it, I couldn't do it. I was a little over eighteen weeks and I could feel the baby inside of me and kicking me. I was attached and was in love with the baby. This baby would be the last thing I had that would remind me of Shawn.

Even after all of that, of me being too young, my parents and Daniel were very supportive and they've helped me every step of the way. Melody Angelina Carter was born on April 5, 2006 at 1:25 in the am. She was 6lbs, 5oz and 19 inches long. And now, Melody is two and a half years old, growing and looking like Shawn every day. Ever since she could barely walk, I'd bring her over here to see her Daddy's grave. She's too young to understand, but when she gets older, I'll tell her about him.

But, today, I have to say goodbye to Shawn's headstone. I'll be moving with my parents, Daniel, and Melody to some little town I have never heard of in Massachusetts, because my parents got better jobs at the hospital over there. Dad-doctor and Mom-nurse. I have to start over from scratch at a new school, which I'm not too thrilled about.

I heard a door slam, I looked up from the headstone, and saw Daniel walking towards me. By that time it had stopped raining and I didn't even notice.

"Val.." he started. "Mom said that you, her, and Mel will be headed to the airport in an hour or so." I nodded and looked back down. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, Dan." I replied, then five minutes later, I still haven't moved from my spot.

"Come on, Val."

I nodded, then kissed the top of Shawn's headstone, and whispered "Goddbye, Shawn... I love you."

Daniel gave me a hug and said "You're soaked."

"I know... when I got here it was raining."

"I thought you were going to the store?"

"I didn't make it to the store." he nodded, then we walked to the cars.

As I was getting into my car, Daniel said "I'll meet you at the house." I nodded, got in, and drove off to our parents house with Daniel following behind me.

I pulled up to my parents house and parked behind the moving van, I sat there looking at a picture I had of Shawn sitting on my dashboard, thinking about the last time I had seen Shawn alive.

-Flashback-

Me and Shawn were outside, looking at all the stars.

"Val, I have to go away." he suddenly spoke.

"Where?"

"I've enlisted in the Army and I'll be leaving to boot camp... tomorrow morning."

"What? Why didn't you tell me?"

"You wouldn't have let me go and you would have freaked out"

"Shawn..." I started and he cupped my face with my hands.

"Look... I'm doing this for us, so later on we can have a future together. When I get out of boot camp, I'll be on leave for two weeks before they station me to Georgia and we can get married, so you can come with me... with your parents permission of course."

"Really? You wanna marry me?"

"Yes... so what do you say?"

I nodded and said "Yes."

Shawn left early the next morning and Valerie wasn't able to see him leave the airport.

-End of Flashback-

Knocking on my window, brought me out of my thoughts. I looked over and saw Daniel with a concerned look on his face. I grabbed my purse, the picture of Shawn, and got out of the car.

"Are you okay?" he asked me.

"Yeah... I'm fine. I guess, I'll go inside and finish packing."

Daniel pulled me into his arms for a hug and said "Val, maybe it's time to move on. It's been three years and everything will be okay. We're going to start off fresh in a new place and you'll meet new people."

"I know, Dan... I just miss him, that's all."

"I know you do... we all do. He was a good guy." I nodded into his chest. "Come on, let's go inside." we broke from the hug and walked into the house.

As I was walking up the stairs, I heard my mom call me. "Val?"

I turned around and said "Yeah?"

"Did you go to the store?" I shook my head. "Where did you go?"

"I had to say goodbye." I saw her make an 'O' shape with her lips. "How's Mel?"

"She's good... taking a little nap. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm a little soaked from the rain, but I'll be fine." I gave her a weak smile.

"Okay... finish packing and get the stuff you want in the truck, so your Dad and Daniel can drive it over." I nodded. "And we leave to the airport in an hour."

"Okay." then I turned around, walked up the stairs, and went into my room to finish packing.
