the hospital, he looked up at me. His expression was surprised and hurt. I looked away as tears threatened to come back again.

           

“You were pregnant” he mumbled. I wasn’t looking at him, but I could feel his eyes on me. I nodded as a tear rolled down my cheek. “Damnit Faith, you knew I wanted a family with you-“

           

“But you weren’t ready!”

           

“I never said that!”           

 

“Yes you did!” I sobbed.

 

“You said you weren’t ready”

           

“I would of rather of waited until after, but I wouldn’t have left it was my baby to!”

          

  “I was scared; I was trying to keep you from making a mistake”

           

“You were never a mistake, and neither was our baby” he snapped throwing the letter down. “It was definitely unexpected, but it wasn’t a damn mistake, and neither would of me taking care of the both of you I was planning on doing it in a few years anyways Faith!”

          

  “I’m sorry! Ok”

          

  “You should have told me, it was my baby, just because you carried him, doesn’t mean he wasn’t mine!” he yelled. I broke down and cried putting my face in my hands. I felt him grab my arms and pull them out from under my head. I looked at him.

        

    He looked at me before getting up and leaving. I watched as he walked away knowing I couldn’t do anything to make him stay, like he couldn’t do anything to make me stay when I left. All I could do was sit here and hate myself, and blame myself for everything.

             

I lost Dakotah because of what I did.

           

 

Chapter Three

 

“Please”

           

“No” I snapped at Willy.

           

“Please Fay, it will help you relax”

         

   “No”

          

  “I’ll give you ten dollars”

         

   “For the love of god Willy I am not going to the fire”

         

   “Twenty”

        

    “NO!” I yelled rolling over in my bed.

          

  “Final offer, twenty five”

           

Instead of answering I grabbed a pillow and through it at him as hard as I could. Then I went back to burying my face in the pillow, he was so stubborn it wasn’t funny. The pillow I threw came back and hit my head making me sit up and yell at Willy.

           

“I’m not going to that damn fire Willy, now let me go to bed! I just want to sleep! Don’t you understand how horrible these last two weeks have been?”

          

  “Yes and as your best friend, I’m here to tell you to get over it, and come have fun.”

         

   I ignored him and went back to laying down he would never get it. “You didn’t spend two years of your life in love with someone then have it ripped away okay, you don’t understand how fucking hard this is Willy, and it’s my fault because I got pregnant then left”

           

“Faith, it’s not your fault, you made a mistake, but everyone does-“

           

“Tell Dakotah that!”

           

“Faith dam nit he already knows now get your skinny ass out of bed, and get ready I will not let you mop around like I’ve been letting you do for the last two weeks, he’ll come back so stop wasting your life moping around”

         

   I looked up at him, I hadn’t heard Willy use that tone for years, when he used a certain tone it meant he wasn’t kidding and he would get his way. Instead of arguing I got up and grabbed a sundress in my closet. I looked at Willy who still sat on the bed.

           

“Get out before I change my mind” I said stubbornly. I waited for the slam of the door before stripping of my pajamas, even though they weren’t technically mine. It was Dakotah’s shirt and a pair of shorts. That vie used as pajamas sense a few months after we started dating.  It was one of the many things I took with me when I left, that he gave me.

         

   I finished then met Willy in the living room he was standing against the screen door waiting for me. I did a full body turn. Showing him my outfit.

          

  “You look fine, now let’s go I was supposed to be there an hour ago, tammy hates when I’m late” he mumbled holding the screen door open for me. I giggled as I walked by him and out the front door. The wind made Goosebumps rise all over my arms and legs, after being in Oregon it felt colder than normal.

 

“Your late for everything” I laughed opening the truck door.

           

“That’s my point, she says I need to learn to be on time or I won’t be able to keep a job” he mumbled as he drove down the dirt road.

 

”and what’s your opinion on that”

 

“She’s right”

 

“Someone’s whipped” I joked elbowing him.

 

“No I’m not I just think she’s right we just graduated it’s time to grow up”

 

“Whipped”

 

“No I’m not”

 

“You so are” I laughed looking out the window.

 

“I’m gonna ask her to marry me”

 

“What” I squeaked looking over at Willy. He was kidding Willy wasn’t the type of guy to settle down, I’ve known him sense I was three and he never once mentioned he wanted to settle down it was always racing and rodeo’s. “You’re kidding! You’ve only been together for a year”

 

“She’s the one.”

 

My jaw dropped, I left and come back to find out that the “irresistible willy” as everyone use to call him, was getting married. After a couple minutes when the shock wore of I was finally able to talk.

 

“Oh my god! Willy I’m so happy for you how are you going to ask, it better be romantic you only get one chance to propose” I ranted off. Willy laughed and turned onto a dirt road where the fire was in full swing. Trucks were backed up and people where sitting on the tailgate with their red cups. It finally felt like I was back home, expect for the fact I was with Willy instead of Dakotah, besides that everything else was exactly the same.

 

I jumped out when Willy finished backing up his truck next to another guy’s truck. Willy was already sitting on the tailgate when I got to the back, tammy was on his lap. Tammy was gorgeous she was tall brown hair that went a little past her boobs a models body with the prettiest blue eyes, and she was the sweetest person I ever met, growing up tammy and Willy hated each other, it was hard to believe when they started dating, but now it’s even more shocking that Willy’s making the ultimate commitment with her. I smiled and jumped up on the tailgate.

 

“Welcome back faith, it’s good to see you back it hasn’t been the same sense you left” tammy said smiling at me. I mouthed thank you as I reached into the cooler to grab a beer, last time we were at a fire I was pregnant so I couldn’t drink, but now that I’m not I can drown all my sorrows in alcohol.

 

To be honest, I missed the way it used to be, I miss him way more then I wished I did because I knew he wouldn’t forgive me for what I did. I looked around and studied the people who were there, I got polite smiles and waves but no one came up to me, which I was surprisingly happy about, I knew people would find out, but I didn’t want to explain it explain why I made the choices I did. When honestly I had no idea why I left either except for the fact I was scared.

 

“look who decided to come after all” tammy said nodding her head behind me, I looked and saw Dakotah, and just like every time I saw him butterflies fluttered in my stomach, and my heart started to race. Then I noticed the trampy blonde beside him and my heart stopped. She was wearing a black minidress that barely covered her crotch; it looked like she was going to a club instead of a fire.

 

Her hair was all tangled like she just had-my heart stopped at the thought of it, no he wouldn’t of done that to me. Would he? I felt tears start to come and made myself look away. It was my fault nothing would be like this if I hadn’t left. I felt my phone ring, but ignored it and turned to Willy who was staring at me.

 

“You okay” he asked. I nodded knowing if I answered my voice would crack and I’d start crying. When my phone started vibrating after a couple more seconds I picked it up, no one called me more than once unless they had to. I looked at the Id and saw my brother’s picture and my heart stopped. I answered it but didn’t even get a chance to say something before my brother started talking.

 

“Faith you need to come home now, were taking Bentley to the hospital."

 

Chapter Four

 

 

 

“Cody what happened is he okay what hospital are you at, what happ-“

 

“I don’t know he just got sick last night and throughout the day it got worse, I thought I was just the flu but I called the doctor and he said to take him to the hospital” Cody explained.

 

“I’ll be there as soon as I can, I’m leaving right now “I answered and hung up before he could say anything else. Tears started rolling down my cheeks; I was such a bad mother leaving him in a different state for a month without me until Cody could bring him.

 

"Fay who was that, what happen-“

 

“I got to go” I interrupted Willy. “Bentley’s sick there taking him to the hospital I need to go” I cried grabbing my jacket from the tailgate.

 

“Faith” I heard someone say, I turned and saw Dakotah running towards me. I couldn’t feel any emotion, I was numb. All the hurt and anger I felt the last couple days, I finally broke I was numb.” Faith what’s wrong” he asked reaching me.

 

“Nothing, go back to your hoe” I snapped. I looked at Willy who was shutting the tailgate. I was about to go to the truck when I felt Dakotah grab my arm.

 

“No, what’s wrong, I know you better than anyone now tell me what’s wron-“

 

“I can’t deal with this Bentley’s in the hospital I need to go” I interrupted pulling my arm away from him.

 

“Willy I’ll take her” Dakotah said as I walked away. I turned around to say something but he already had my arm and was dragging me towards his truck. Instead of fighting I gave in, it was his son I had
