CHAPTER 4: THE LETTER

I wake up and look at John, peacefully sleeping. His little snores made me smile. I stop smiling and think. I fucked up.. I'm probably pregnant. I start to cry and John opens his eyes and sits up. "Esperanza? What's wrong!?" He asked me "I'm gonna be pregnant! And we aren't even together!". I get up and start to put on my clothes. "I have to go.." I say. I start to walk out and John grabs my arm. He pulls me back to the bed and I sit on his lap facing him. "Anza look.. I love you..I will help you with our child..". I look down and close my eyes. John kisses me. But I push away. "No.." John's eyes start to water. "Goodbye John.." I walked outside of the house. I left him.. I regretted it yes. But I feel like he used me for my body. I arrive at my home and

Bella and Magnolia greeted me with breakfast. "Girls I have something to say...". Bella and Magnolia stop eating and look at me worried. "I might be pregnant." Bella smiles and gets up to hug me. Magnolia follows her and hugs me too. I smile and next thing I know there's a knock at my door. I get up and open the door. "Letter for the Conleo family?". I take the letter from the man "Thank you sir." I say and shut the door. I open the letter and Magnolia and Bella come over to me "What is it" they say in unison. I don't answer and read it to them "As of the result of you being pregnant. I shall send you this letter as of tonight I will be leaving to go to war. I love you and make sure you take care of our child. Love, John Laurens" I immediately regret that I left John. I love him.. I want him. And I need him.
