THERE GOES MY LIFE

BY STARZ976

ALL HE COULD THINK ABOUT WAS IM TOO YOUNG FOR THIS. GOT MY WHOLE LIFE AHEAD HELL IM JUST A KID MYSELF HOW'M I GONNA RAISE ONE

So many thoughts were running through Craig Manning's head as he stared into those deep chocolate brown eyes of Manuela Santos. He shuddered as he closed his eyes and listened to those two words that no teenage boy ever wants to hear.
"Craig, I...I'm pregnant..." Manny said haltingly as tears filled her warm eyes and began to stream down her cheeks.
'How could I have been so stupid' he thought to him self, 'how can such a little mistake lead to something so big' He hugged Manny as she looked up at him, looking for hope, reassurance, and for answers to her questions. But Craig couldn't answer her questions for her. He had always been the older one, the responsible one, but now he just didn't know what to do

ALL HE COULD SEE WERE HIS DREAMS GOING UP IN SMOKE SO MUCH FOR DITCHIN' THIS TOWN AND HANGIN' OUT ON THE COAST OH WELL, THOSE PLANS ARE LONG GONE

Later that evening, Craig sat slumped in front of his locker. He could practically see his life disappearing before his own eyes. What about his dreams, his future? He could forget about photography, about his band, about the things he loved to do. He needed to be there for Manny and he needed support his child...even if it meant putting his own life aside. 'But I'm just a kid' thought Craig, 'I haven't finished high school yet, how am I supposed to handle this?' For the first time since he had talked to his girlfriend, hours earlier, Craig let himself cry.

AND HE SAID THERE GOES MY LIFE. THERE GOES MY FUTURE, MY EVERYTHING

Craig walked home slowly that night, turning the day's events over and over in his head. Like it or not, he knew that his life was completely changed from that moment on. He wasn't a kid anymore, he was going to be a parent. He was always the smart, calm, responsible one, so how can be made such a rash mistake?

MIGHT AS WELL KISS IT ALL GOODBYE THERE GOES MY LIFE.......
