Two lines. That means positive, right?
I check the instructions again on the back of the box, silently praying
that two lines mean something else entirely. Like, I don’t know…a free gift
or something.
My eyes shift nervously back and forth between the crinkled sheet of
paper on the sink and the pee-covered stick I’m holding in my hand.
My prayers go unanswered. And there’s no damn gift.
I’m pregnant.
Shit.
The test slips through my fingers, turning in excruciatingly slow circles
until it clinks against the rusty floor drain. The sound ricochets off the tiled
walls, bouncing back at me twice as loud in the small space.
How cliché, taking a pregnancy test in a college restroom between
classes.
Yep, apparently I’m that girl. Awesome.
A warm summer breeze blows through the open bathroom window, but
it’s not enough to dry the salty tears welling in my eyes. Outside, the New
York streets pulse with life. Men and women in business suits are heading
back to the office after their lunch breaks. Shoppers and tourists alike line
both sides of the sidewalks, while the endless blue of a mid-July sky lies
beyond.
Life goes on as normal for these people, and yay for them, because my
life is currently falling apart all around me.
I take a deep breath, trying to pull myself together. What am I going to
do? Me, a mother? Oh, god. No. I can’t be someone’s mother. I can barely
take care of myself right now, let alone be responsible for another human
being.
“I’m so sorry, Jeremy,” I whisper.
What would he think of me?
Jeremy. My fiancé.
His name brings even more tears to my eyes.
I dig through my backpack until I find the cream-colored envelope that’s
buried at the very bottom. Needing to hold it. Needing it in my hands. It
weighs so heavily on my heart and in my mind, and yet the paper itself
weighs nothing at all, as if it’s weightless and worthless. But nothing could
be further from the truth, because this envelope is my most cherished
possession.
With trembling fingers, I open the typed, one-page letter that’s
contained within, careful not to tear it because it’s all I have left.
Exhaling softly, I let my eyes scroll down over the words I’ve read a
thousand times. “Hey, Doll,” that’s how it begins, and a sob rips from deep
inside my chest. It hits me so unexpectedly that I have to fight to keep from
falling to the floor. My breath catches sharply, and my eyes burn.
Doll.
Jeremy gave me the nickname the night we first met at the Ascot Ridge
County Fair, in my home state of Alabama. Jeremy was on leave from a
nearby military base, and I was there with a group of friends celebrating the
end of our freshman year at college. He smiled at me, and I was instantly
mesmerized by his gorgeous green eyes.
