What she said next struck me like the blade of a sword......
I glanced out of the
window and ran my gaze through the world now covered in a carpet of white. It
seemed as if the earth had buried itself under blankets trying to resist the
cold which had now taken over the world.
My breath clouded the window. Kids gave life to the dead world. They
darted here and there, kicking mounds of snow into the air. Small and delicate
crystals could be seen falling from the sky.
Knowing that today would
be the perfect day, I quickly grabbed the ring and slid it into my pocket. The
door creaked as I slowly opened it. My eyes pained as a sudden gush of light
sprang into the room. After a brief moment, I stepped out onto the porch.
My heartbeat sped up when
I saw her and thundered in my chest. She sat silently on the bench. Her face
was as radiant as always. The first time I had saw her, purchasing chocolate
bars at the local store, I knew it was love. She did things to my heart that I
had never experienced before. My steps got heavier as I approached her. My
fingertips rubbed against the silver ring resting in my pocket.
Seeing me, she abruptly stood up. Snow lightly
showered on us. The chilly breeze pounded my face. Before I could say anything,
she started to cry. Tears slid down her cheeks. I couldn't anticipate what was
happening. A part of me wanted to rush to her and take her into my arms, while
the other part made me stay where I was- dumbfounded. "I have to tell you
something ," she whimpered. A chill ran up my spine as I heard the words-
there was pain in them. What she said next struck me like the blade of a sword,
piercing through the heart. She uttered, "I'm carrying a child."
