Chapter 2
I place the letter on our bed and grab my belongings. I couldn't pack everything, only the truly meaningful objects such as my second chance earrings and my new bracelet containing all of our unforgettable firsts.
Stepping outside the room, I look behind me once more and see Mrs Jones with a horrid expression on her dear face.
"Ana, what are you doing?" She whispers, even though she knows the answer. "Please don't do that! He'll come around, you'll see!" It's a plea.
"I'm really sorry, Gail, but I just can't be here when I know he's not ready".
"Then, please tell me where you're going".
I still don't know, but as soon as I'm stablished somewhere I'll send you a message. It the least I could do after all you've done for me". It's true. This woman is remarkable. I suddenly feel the need to hug her, and I do.
"Take care, Ana" she says close to my ear. "Remember it's not just you anymore".
And then I'm gone.
...
"Ana! What's wrong? Did he hurt you? Because if so, I'll go there and slap him on the face". Why does she always think the worse of Christian?"Everything is fine, Kate. Well, sort of".
"Come" she gives me a long hug. "I don't know what happened but you can stay here as long as you want. After all, we were supposed to live together after college anyway".
As we sit down and she tries to make me hot chocolate, I tell her about the whole situation.
"Oh My God!" she exclaims "I can't believe you're pregnant! That's amazing!" Oh, Kate, I wish I was feeling this way. I give her a sad smile.
"I know, but the baby came too soon. I should've kept better track o my shot".
"Ana, but you were the one that said it ran out earlier than it was supposed to. Don't blame yourself. It takes two to make a baby".
My lips start to tremble as I think about Christian. "I know, Kate. But I'm so clueless about what I'm gonna do!" I say exasperated "how am I supposed to raise this child by myself?!" And the tears on my face start to show up.
"You won't. I'm going to help you in every possible way" she says reassuringly "I won't leave my best friend in a moment like this".
"Oh, Kate, that's why I love so much" I give her a tight hug.
"You can star here, Ana, but you know that sooner or later Christian will come after you. And I'm sure it won't take too long".
I thought about that. Christian would open the door and it was just a matter of hours. "I'll speak to him" and it's a decision I've just taken "I have to be a grown up about this."
"That's my girl" Kate says.
