Chapter 28 Surviving

16th March 1965

Today would be Johnny's 25th Birthday. I'm barely surviving the money is running out. I've tried to get a job but they reject me because I'm pregnant. He's sent me one sum of money 5 days ago, £100. But that's almost gone. I wish I never let him go. I love him.
I ring him.
"Hello?" His voice answers.
"Johnny I'm sorry. Please come back!"
"I'm sorry Baby but you told me to go."
"I'm having your god damn baby! Your gonna leave her too?"
"I'll send you money in a few more days"
and then he hung up. How did this happen?

24th March 1965.

We didn't even spend our one year anniversary together, four days ago. Maybe my parents were right maybe I'm not ready for marriage. I'm 7 months pregnant and I'm in this state. I don't know what I can do. On the 20th he sent me another £100. I only have £50 left. As soon as this baby is out I'm going to have to get a job and do this right. I cannot rely on £100 once a week. It doesn't pay the bills!
"Baby?"
I jumped, it was Lisa.
"Sorry it was open, are you ok?" Lisa asked me.
"Hi, yeah I'm fine."
"I got you fifty pounds."
"What? But you can't afford it."
"Of course I can, I got everything for Jayne's 1st birthday and I'll use all her old stuff for the baby, if it's a boy I'll have time to save up. Take it." Lisa explained.
"Thank you Lisa! I'll pay you back."
"It's alright, anyway I gotta go to work!"
"Goodbye!"
"Bye"
