Chapter 5:
The memories of that little boy are always in his thoughts, but now they are shared by a brown eyed girl and he is totally at a loss.
He remembers her smile and the way she wore her hair. Her smell, her feel and how she'd do almost anything on a dare.
At first he sees her in his dreams and when he closes his eyes, but now she is there everywhere, a stalker at his side.
Has he done the right thing keeping himself away? He misses her, misses them, and it's killing him more each day.
How can he tell her and should he really try? After all he had left her before she'd left him without goodbyes.
He continues his way home, full of doubt, full of woe. He grabs his mail, and sees an address he doesn't know.
The address is strange but the writing he knows by heart. Her curves, her dots, her, who would always hold his heart.
He stares at it with both longing and fear. What can it mean? What will it say? Does she want a second go or for him to stay away?
He tears at it carefully, preserving her script, but the paper flutters to the floor as it slips from his grip.
Three lines and an initial stare at him from below. Their meaning clear but their future unknown.
I'm pregnant.
It's yours.
I'm keeping it.
