Tony came over. He saw the tears in my eyes. He asked me what was wrong. I
just shook my head no.
"Tony. There's somebody I want you to meet." He probably thought it was going to be my sister, but I think he was scared. I took his hand and lead him up the stairs, into Margarita's bedroom. I picked her up. "Tony, this is Margarita. My daughter" He held her awfully closely. Smirked. "What?"
"You don't remember me? The help group for young parents?"
"You! You're the one! The one who called his son a monster!"
"Thanks for rubbing it in. You know your boyfriend really gave me a new light on life. Where is he? You know he really did love you.
I shuddered. Then told him. "Degrassi Cemetery. He died last year. He was shot" He quieted down. The he told me his story.
Four years ago he got his girlfriend pregnant. He was a year younger than me when it happened. Then he broke up with his girl friend. When she had the baby he knew the child was his. All he ever wanted was to be a father. So he begged and begged to let him be a part of the baby's life. But she swore on her life that the baby was not his. They had to get a DNA test and everything. Then when they finally proved that the baby was his, his parents kicked him out of the house. He couldn't believe that one little creature that he wanted so much had caused him so much trouble. The he talked to Craig. He knew if one person loved their child in the group it was Craig. The one day last year Tony's girlfriend Patricia dropped their son Juan, off at Tony's house and she never came back.
Then slowly Tony leaned into me and we started to make out.
"Oh, I love you so much Craig!" I said to him. Big mistake.
