Thanks for all the reviews!!!! You Guys Rule!!!!

"Excuse me." Karen blinked rapidly as she struggled to absorb all of what was going to happen.

"You heard me." Dan's soft voice broke through her hazy reverie.

"Well what do you want me to say?" Karen looked him in the eye. "Last night was a nice trip down memory lane, but I don't really know what you want."

"You abandoned me seventeen years ago, to go off to college to follow your dreams. I understood that and let you go. I got over you. You can't tell me that you never got over me. Just because you're getting a divorce." Karen's eyes filled with tears, her eyes glistening with liquid silver, as they focused on Dan.

"This can't happen again, I won't survive it." Her fearful words echoed in the room as she fled him and the claustrophobia rushing down on her.

Dan looked at the empty chair, where she'd been sitting until just a minute ago. He looked out the window where the sun was shining so beautifully. The whole world seemed shrouded in shadows again, now that his sun was gone.

Karen sat outside in her car, unsure of herself. It was bad enough that Luke was gone, then to hear Deb and Keith slept together. Although, she had rejected Keith, so she had no hold on him. It just hurt a bit, that he could move on so quickly. But now, that Dan was telling her this, how did she know that he wasn't playing with her, because he had no one left to manipulate?

Sobs wracked her body as she started the car and pealed out of the parking lot. Her mind floated back to the past.

Graduation Night

"Dan, I have something to tell you." Karen's voice wavered softly, laden with emotion.

Dan turned around, his young face alight with joy at the thought that high school was over.

The words, "I'm pregnant," froze the look of youthful exuberance on his face.

A dazed look clouded his eyes. "When's the baby due?"

"March 3." Karen's eyes watched his reaction.

Dan thought of his future, his basketball scholarship to college and his dreams. Then his thoughts shifted to Karen and their child.

"Of course, I'll stay with you. You don't need to worry about me leaving." Dan leaned down and kissed her softly and gently. His hand moved to her flat stomach, where their baby was the size of a pea. Dan loved him or her already.

Karen relaxed, her arms wrapping around Dan's middle to hug him closer. "I love you."

Karen's mind crashed back to the present. Signaling, she pulled the car over. Leaning her head against the steering wheel, she cried for lost innocence and lost love.

Looking around at the world outside, she had never felt so alone.

I know it's short, I just thought that was a good place to end it. Updates soon!!!!
