Love After Football: Book 2

3. After School

After School

Zion
The bell rung for us to leave, I quickly got up and left the classroom. As I was walking to my car, Miracle grabbed my arm as i was about to open my car door.

What

Miracle- Can we talk please

I sighed and looked around, before answering.

Get in the car

She got in the car and I started the car, then pulled off. As I was driving I didn't talk, I just listened to the radio.

Miracle- Are you gonna ignore me forever

You tell me

Miracle- look I'm sorry about me leaving

Yeah right, your not sorry

Miracle- But I really am. I didn't mean for any of that to happen

So you didn't mean to leave me or tell me goodbye when you left

Miracle- I wanted to tell you but I couldn't

Wow, ok bet

Miracle- I'm sorry but you have to understand how I was feeling at the time

And what about my feelings huh. Did you even think of coming to me and talking to me about this

Miracle- I wanted to I really did

I pulled over in a parking lot and parked the car. I turned it off and she unbuckled her seatbelt and turned towards me.

Yeah right, you don't even care about how I feel. I loved you and for you to up and leave me hurt

Miracle- I DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE ZION

YES YOU DID, YOU DECIDED TO LEAVE ME

Miracle- I WAS PREGNANT, WHAT ELSE WAS THERE TO DO

STAY WITH ME, I WAS GONNA HELP YOU, I WAS GONNA BE THERE AND TAKE CARE OF YOU AND OUR CHILD. BUT YOU JUST LEFT, AND FOR WHAT, CAUSE YOU DIDNT WANT TO BE EMBARRASS. I MISSED OUR CHILD BEING BORN BECAUSE OF THAT.

Miracle- I COULDNT STAY HERE AND HAVE THE BABY, I HAD TO LEAVE BECAUSE IT WAS WHAT'S BEST FOR US

FOR US, OR FOR YOU

Miracle- FOR US, YOU HAD FOOTBALL AT THE TIME AND YOU WERE A SOPHOMORE AND STARTING, I DIDNT WANT TO RUIN THAT FOR YOU

WELL TOO DAMN LATE BECAUSE YOU DID. When you left everything stopped for me. It was like I lost a part of me and to be honest I did. I was never the same after you left. I quit football and I started doing some bad things. But it's whatever now cause I guess the feelings weren't the same.

Miracle- Zion you know I loved you, I wouldn't have done any of this if I didn't. I still love you till this day

Do you not understand what you did? Do you not understand the pain you put me through? You knew I didn't grow up with a father and you decided to take my child away from me knowing how important it was for me to be in their life. I will never feel the same way I felt for you because of that.

Miracle- But i made a mistake

Yeah you did and now you lost me

A few tears fell from her eyes as she turned back in her seat. I looked forward trying not to look at her.

Where is my child?

Miracle- At my house

I didn't say anything else as we drove to her house in silence.
