I woke up that next morning took a shower brushed my teeth,and got dressed you know the usual. I had two missed calls from Brad and six text messages. I didn't reply to any of them, I still wasn't sure about what I was going to do. I went to class and tried my best to avoid Brad. It didn't help that his first class was in the same building as mine.
Luckily there are three different exits.
He didn't see me this time but there is no way I can keep avoiding him for ever. Hilton is a small religious college privately owned. It was common to run into the same person at least 5 times in one day.
Sup Nicole are you heading to music? Hi Ashley, yeah I am. why are you taking the long way? I have to drop something off at the finance office.
Will you save me a seat I'll be there when I'm done with this.
Of course I ways lying I didn't have to drop anything off. I was taking the long way to avoid Brad. I don't like to have a lot of people in my business. Me and Ashely#2 are associate I don't talk to her that often to willingly give details about what I'm doing.
She seems like a nice girl but, she usually has a lot of drama following her. You never see her with the same group of friends they seem to outgrow each other.
After I finish with all my classes it was around the time for dinner to start in the cafeteria. Me and my roommate Ashely #1 were meeting my best friend John and three other friends at the cafe. I wouldn't be able to avoid Brad any longer today. We shared the same friends. Plus him and John are roommates.
when I got to the cafeteria he was already waiting there with John and mason. Hey Nicole can I talk to you for a minute. Sure but, can we not do this right now. Let's talk after we eat.
Every body loves Brad all of the teacher, security guards and even the cafeteria ladies. They always gave him extra food. He was so charismatic. Every girl wanted to be with him. Lucky me ..... I seem to be stuck with him.
I was the it girl and he was the it boy. His light just seemed to shine brighter than mine. If only everyone could see the real him. His true self that only seemed to come out around me. The blame always landed on me. Look what you made me do, I'm sorry you just made me so angry, I didn't mean to do it.
After we finished eating the sun had already gone down. Me and Brad left the others so we could continue our talk as we walked around the campus. What do you need to say Brad? I wanted to know what you decided. At that moment I stopped walking. We were in front of the library. When he realized we were no longer walking side by side he turned around and grabbed my hands.
I hadn't realized that I was crying. He pulled me into him and he kissed me on my for forehead. I know that you are scared Nicole and that this is a hard choice for you. I'm sorry that you are going through so much pain, but I can't have a child right now. I need you to toughen up so that you can take care of this mess.
I looked up at him through the blurriness that coated my eyes. I pushed him from off of me, and told him firmly I'm keeping my child Brad. Oh really a sinister smirk went across his face. It would be a shame if there was a accident Nicole let's make this easier on both of us.
Don't you mean easier for you? I can walk myself back to my dorm room good night Brad. When I made it back to my room. I went to take a shower and got I in bed. I was so glad that tomorrow was. I didn't have any classes on Friday this semester.
I slept in late and I awoke to ten text messages from Brad.
