Hey, i said, hey he respond i was going to tell you that I'm s...sorry for not telling you about!. " save it Tara, you were never going to tell me.

You probably weren't going to tell Grace either, you even try to take my daughter away from me again. You kept us form each other.

I know you did all this for the safety of you and Grace. I know they even threatened you, i sniffed. I was hurt, "please Nick.

I was afraid and coward Nick, when they throw me out of the house. I later found out I'm pregnant. If you are so afraid why the fuck didn't you call me? Huh!?

You damm well know that i will never reject you. I continued to sniffle "I called the house the moment i found out i was pregnant.

But there was no answer, tears began to fall from my eyes. "I really want to apologize Nick. "I sighed. I don't want to hear that Tara, " why are you being so harsh Nick i said softly.

In the moment i want to hold him and tell him that everything is over now. But i didn't, "i admit that what my Mom and siblings did to was very bad, but did you even think about me Tara.

How i will feel not seeing you again huh? I know what you went through Tara and I'm very sorry for that. But at least you could have tried harder to get in touch with me Jesus Christ woman!.

Stop crying, he stood up and walked out of the room. " Don't leave", i try stopping him.

"We were just talking Tara, " i continued walking to my bedroom and i could hear her following me. I kicked my shoes off "why are you standing there Tara?

She shook her head smirking at me, " i don't think it's safe to come inside she said smiling. I scoffed while taking my jacket.

What are you thinking in your head Tara. Do you think we will make love, i smirked looking at her. I shook my head then walked over to my bed.

I sat down, "Are you going to let me apologized? She said i closed my eyes as her voice cracked. " What difference is it going to make? I took my shirt and pants off, now left in my boxers and socks.

I spent days locked up in here, pinning after you? Praying that you would come back to me so i could tell you everything, Every fucking night. I watched as she wiped her tears.
