Oh My life!!

Rosy couldn't bring herself to get out of bed. She thought it was a nightmare but it wasn't, indeed he had left her! And she was with child. Her sobs shook the bed as she bit into the pillow, trying to muffle the sounds. Her parents would throw her out the minute they knew she was expecting. What was she to do? What did fate have in store for her?

It all happened too fast: one minute she was headed to his place, the next thing she knew he was in bed with Cheryl, She screamed and hurled insults at them drawing the attention of passersby as Rave woke up from a deep sleep. She would never forget the calculating look of triumph in Cheryl's blue eyes as she wondered why? Dejectedly, she took it as her cue to leave.

The next day, she found out she was expecting and he wouldn't take her calls. She tried going to his place but he threw her out, denying the pregnancy all to her dismay. She had been faithful to him all these years, what was going on?

After wandering the streets for hours she finally smuggled herself into her room at home and bolted the door. She never considered aborting a baby and wasn't going to start now, Which left her with one solution. SHE WAS GOING TO BE A MOTHER and all her dreams of furthering her studies went down the drain.

Even as she thought about it, her heart broke into a million pieces, How wmas she going to manage her studies, job and the baby? The backlash from her conservative Christian community, and most importantly her parents?

She died a million times thinking of it because she had prayed all her life to be spared the shame. Yet her stupidity and trusting nature had ruined her. Now she was pregnant, destitute and single with no one to run to.

Then there was Cheryl!! Her all time bestie...if she could still be referred to as that. She had fought tooth and nail for Cheryl. This was the same person who spent many a night crying into her sheets when her ex's cheated or hurt her and Rosy would fight her battles. Oh how the tables had turned!!! What a mess this turned out to be!

Cheryl had been hinting for months that her boyfriend was cheating on her but Rosy couldn't believe her friend. As charming as he was, Rave couldn't hurt a fly, or so she believed. How did she get here? What was she to do? And why did Cheryl betray her after all these years of friendship and sisterhood? As Rosy lay between her sheets on the stormy day, her thoughts traveled back to when she first met Rave or Mr Rawlings as he was known back then and how tumultuous her relationship with him began, all thanks to Cheryl. Time may have gone by, but the memories from high school lingered on, pulling her into what had once been the source of her joys and smiles, but threatened to kill her at the moment.
