Her True Love
She woke up like every other morning, got ready, and made breakfast for her Michael, and Madison. At 8:15, they came bouncing down and sat across from their mother. As she sat there, she stared at her 5-year old son and daughter, not wanting to believe that it had only been 5 years since he had left them. To her, it had been 5 long and painful years. 5 years since she lost the person she had loved. But, being only 17 and pregnant, every one, at that time, told her she would get over it and move on. If only they knew how much she had loved him. It wasn't easy for her in school either. Almost everyone knew that they were going out, but not everyone could believe that he had gotten her pregnant. Those were the best 8 months for her. Everyday he stuck up for her and helped her through all the insults she had gotten from the "popular group." You see, she wasn't one of the most popular people in school. She was always being made fun of, always being picked on, and always seemed to be the butt of everyone's jokes. But, he still loved her. No matter what people had said about him hanging out with her in school, he always said that he would rather be with her than with his immature friends. He always knew how to make her smile and laugh, even through the tough times. There was one time her grandmother had gotten extremely ill and ended up in the hospital, and he was the only one to make her smile. Her sisters and brother couldn't even do that at that time. Then came the day that had hurt her the most. It was the night that he was supposed to pick her up for dinner. She knew that something was wrong when he was 20 minutes late. He was never late. Even when there was traffic, he somehow managed to get there on time. Then came the call she had dreaded. She had gotten the call from his parents. When she heard the news, she dropped the phone, fell to the ground, and cried, as her three siblings did their best to comfort her. A drunk driver had killed him only 5 minutes from her house. It turned out that the guy had blown the red light and smashed right into the front of his car. He was killed instantly. The other driver was sent to jail for life considering that her boyfriend wasn't the first person the drunk hit that night. The funeral came and went, but her siblings couldn't help her through that either. School wasn't any better for her after that day. People made fun of her more now that her "protector" wasn't here. There was one time that someone had said the wrong thing only two days after the funeral, and she attacked her. But, she ended up getting suspended for a week. Finally the time came, and he had missed the birth of his little boy and his baby girl. When she looked into the eyes of their babies, she saw him, not their son and daughter. She saw his bright blue eyes and his light, sandy, brown hair, not her dark brown hair, and brown eyes. She cried that day, not only for the joy for the birth of their son and daughter, but for him as well. His name was Mike Wellington, and he was her best friend, the father of her babies, and, what she thought, at that time, the love of her life.
