Chapter Sixty I had to stay at the station for hours and answer all sorts of questions, but the big one, The main one… Had I ever had a sexual relationship with Toby Wolfe, and of course, I lied. I told them everything else, including that we were friends because of how we met, and that if they wanted to verify that with the other police department who dealt with my sexual assault, they could. I told them that my parents were well aware of the friendship I had with Toby and that it was innocent. Again, they said they were going to confirm that with my parents directly. I j# I really hope they had the common sense to lie and say that it wasn’t anything...  Inappropriate.They showed me pictures of me and Toby, most were explained away b

Chapter Sixty Two‘Wha... H-how?!’ He just smiled and opened his arms and I bolted across the room and jumped into them, wrapping mine tight around him. ‘What happened? How are you out? Have they dropped the charges?!’ He pulled away from the hug and rested his forehead against mine. ‘Vi.. we need to talk’. I could already tell by the tone of his voice that this wasn’t going to be a good conversation. Oh god, what now…? We sat on the edge of my bed and he took my hands in his. ‘What’s going on?’ He let out a long sigh and looked at me. ‘Toby.. you’re worrying me, what's happened? What's wrong?’ ‘I love you, I rea

Chapter Sixty Four No matter how we tried to prolong the inevitable, it just wasn’t good enough and soon enough it was time for me to say goodbye to Toby. I wasn’t ready for it. I didn’t know what the future held for us. I wanted to be with him, but how would it work with him there and me here? We hadn’t even had time to discuss it really. I suppose that will be something we will have to talk about over the phone. He had put as much as he could in his car. He was driving back ‘’home’’ so that he could take his car and then will be sending someone for the rest of his stuff at a later date. Apparently, the lease on the house here was still valid until the end of the school year, which was a while yet. Putting the last few bits he was taking with him in

Chapter Sixty SixThe day dragged on and on and even when school was over, it still didn’t end. The phone call from the doctors was to remind me of an appointment I had, that admittedly, I had forgotten about, and then I still needed to go home and get clothes too. The Business just never seems to end these days. There's always an appointment or a job or something that needs doing. I was just trying to get through and make it till graduation. If I wasn’t allowed to drop out and the school was clearly not going to kick me out, I had to graduate… and then I could leave. I could go and find Toby… …I wasn’t stupid, I know there is a good chance he was not going to be waiting for me. By the time I’m actually able to go, We would have been apart for a very long time

Chapter Sixty Eight *** A Few More Months Later ** Graduation was fast approaching, it's all you could hear about in school, but luckily I wasn’t there much of the week anymore. My due date was moved up to before graduation now and being so heavily pregnant, I wasn’t really required to attend, as long as I collected school work to complete at home, but I rarely did that anyway. If people weren’t talking about me already, they surely were now, and I couldn’t give a fuck. Apart from the obvious things, I was pretty happy with my life, for the most part, and while people were picking what colleges they were going to and what they planned to do after High School, I knew what I was going to do… I was going to be a mother.
