A Dark Alley and a Bad Idea

I could feel the darkness sitting in, like nothing was ever going to be okay again. I was afraid that one day even she wouldn’t be able to make it go away.

“Pete, did you hear me?” I did, but all I could focus on were the tears forming in her eyes.

“Pete!”

“It’s going to be okay, everything is going to be okay.” I breathed out.

What a fucking lie.

“Pete,” she cried out and all I could do was wrap my arms around her.

The darkness had set in.

“What are we going to do?” she looked at me with teary eyes.

“We’ll figure something out.”

“I can’t have this baby Pete.”

I nodded wishing the earth would have swallowed me.
