Looking at You Now, You Would Never Know:He was so fragile. So sad and weak. It was pathetic. Erin was dealing with her own issues, like the pain she got in her stomach every now and then, the constant headaches, and night tremors. All because of Kevin.
Erin's life was pretty decent. Her parents loved her. Her dad only started working odd hours when she got older. They always spent time with her, as a child.
Ian's life consisted of dinner parties and nannies. His parents were always off on some adventure, being owners of the town of McKinley, Pennsylvania. Ian was the sole heir to the McKinley fortune. The entire future of the pointless middle of nowhere town depended on him. He however had other ideas, which only seemed to be more real when he met Erin.
Erin Kathryn Ulmer dreamt of big cities and artistic parties. Being more than just a small town nobody. Ian Patrick McKinley's big city dreams consisted of living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn or on the West Side. He wanted to be anywhere in New York City. Anywhere where you didn't know everyone who walked passed you, better yet everyone who walked passed you didn't know you. He wanted to be a writer, a poet exactly. He was gifted in all areas, especially writing.
When he and Erin met they realized they shared the same dream: escaping McKinley for good.
Now though, things didn't look so great. It seemed they'd never leave McKinley. Erin's hands were pale the morning she woke up feeling sick. She quickly ran to her bathroom and immediately puked in the toilet. She didn't want to believe it, but now she had to check. She drove to the drugstore and bought a pregnancy test. The fear that Kevin got her pregnant terrified her. She didn't want to have any piece of him left in the world. Let alone his child. The whole drive home, Erin prayed in her head. She begged God, to whom she'd been faithful to her whole life, that she was not pregnant.
She immediately took the test and waited out the result.
Meanwhile at the hospital, Ian was in therapy. He was getting better. It was a miracle as his doctors put it. The only words he uttered though were, "where's" and "Erin." If he knew what Erin was thinking at that moment, he'd surely relapse and probably die. He was still extremely weak.
Back with Erin, she called her mother, who had arrived back in McKinley the previous night, up to her bathroom. "Mom, I can't look at it." Erin whispered.
"Okay sweetie," her mother said kissing Erin' s head. Walking out of the bathroom, her mother looked slightly upset. "Erin, it's positive."
"What, no," Erin began to cry. Her mother held her close and kissed her head. "Baby, there's no way this could be from Ian?"
"No Mom. I was a virgin. So is Ian. This thing is Kevin's. what do I do? I can't get an abortion. I'll go to hell. But I don't want this child to be born!"
"Erin, you won't go to hell. God will sort this out. We're going to the doctor tomorrow."
"Okay," she sighed.
Erin went to see Ian that night.
