Kurt Evergreen's p.o.v
Depressed, she stared into a world of nothingness. I wanted to sit by the window, but I didn't feel like arguing. It was my desire to enjoy the bus ride home from work in peace and quiet. My heart bled uncontrollably for the pregnant white girl sitting next to me. We exchanged a few words. She said her name was Brenda Walsh. Six months pregnant with twins, Brenda was an adult even in her young age. Surprisingly, we lived at the same apartment complex.

Brenda's flashback
"I am ready to be picked up" I cry into the phone. "I am driving into the hospital parking lot right now" Kurt says on the other end. I hop into his car outside in the hospital
parking lot. My tears speak for themselves. "You didn't have a successful check up" my neighbor and best friend concludes. "Dawn is growing at a slower rate than her
brother Kennedy. The doctor warned she would die at birth" sobbing, I explain. Livid, Kurt wants to kill the doctor. He is as hot as a furnest until he feels my babies kick.
This settles him down some.

Brenda's flashback
"Are we there yet?" I whine struggling through a painful contraction. "We are now here at the hospital" Kurt notifies me driving into the parking lot. He is kind enough to
carry me into the building. A nurse assumes Kurt is the father immediately. I tell her that he is not the father. My babies' father has been mia for a very long time. Anyhow,
Kurt hugs me goodbye. I wanted him to stay, but I knew he had to go to work. He fades away from my mind completely.

Kurt's p.o.v
Bittersweet describes my mental state. Brenda had invited me over to join Kennedy and her for Christmas breakfast. In all my twenty-one years, nobody has cared about me as much as Brenda. She has been my only true best friend so far. If I wasn't a workaholic and there wasn't a huge age gap between us then I would date her. Dawn's spirit hovers above us.

Brenda's flash forward-The present reality-At The Park with Maisie and Jay
The green grass brings Kurt to mind. I recall his name was evergreen. Among all places, I reunite with him at a park. My kids and I encounter him on the walking trail. I am
surprised he remembers me. Still waiting for a heart transplant, he inspires us. We encourage him to stay strong. Careless, I allow my black prince to get away once again.
Kurt was as sweet as chocolate candy, that's the one thing I will remember about him forever.
