“I just have a lot of things my mind is trying to sort out.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Come here.”

I walked over to her & sat on the bed. She looked down at Sunny & smiled.

“I know how you feel. When we were together I always came to you with my problems. I never told you this, but when I got pregnant I never wanted to tell you because I was scared that you would be angry with me. I ended up telling my parents, which is why we moved. My parents were so upset at me & I knew I had made a big mistake. After that, I was always unsure about talking to people. It was another big mistake. I lost a lot of confidence & I fell into a state of depression. I think you should tell me what’s on your mind before something like that effects you.”

I debated telling her what I was thinking. My eyes locked with her & an emotion that I hadn’t felt in a long time filled my spirit. I stood up & headed for the door. When I reached the doorway I turned back around to say the words I hadn’t told her in a long time.

“I Love You”

I turned away from her & let tears fall down my face.  My emotions were unbearable so I took off down the hallway. When I reached my room, I flopped onto my bed & cried into my pillow.
