my gaff was
by:estephanie reyes

I past to the eleventh grade happy,but sad.It's the third day of school. I'm sitting in the middle of the classroom.my teacher was ms.Cassy.she was very nice.Two rows back to the left there he was.The only cute boy in my class,Fransisco.He was skinny tall and with an outer glass figure that made him unique.he wasn't all that well dressed but i didn't care.For me he was just perfect what I have been looking for all my past life.He was loud he wasn't all that respectful just like me.
Fransisco had a sister.her name was Adriana.I knew her from some were.I knew it.We did our first communion together.she was in my class a few years ago.Well back to what i was saying,well yeah i had a crush on him.yeah it may be to soon for that but yes it was true.



Its been a while.well theres good news i go out with Fransisco.Well if u call being boyfriend and girlfriend kissing all the time well then we are not going out.Thats because awe just hold hand s and flirt with each other because since were recent knowing each other we don't wanna go to fast with our relationship.Even though i agreed i really think that we should get with the kissing not that I'm desperate or any thing I'm just one of those persons who think that being boyfriend and girlfriend is kissing all the time i see you we kiss you see me we kiss and that every day.But even further since I'm a teenager already i even think that we should be doing sex already but i guess he doesn't think like that yet he probably still thinking like a fifth grader that falls in love for the first time.

Fransisco and i had been together for two years already.we have sexual relations already and i think to my self what have i done.every one right now could imagine what i did.i have nothing left.I'm a drop out.I'm pregnant.the father of my future kid is dead.my mom doesn't want me in her house.my dad hates me.what have i done?i have no future.how am i supposed to take care of my beloved child.i don't want to abort but i have no options.I'm alone and poor.I'm sitting at the edge of a street with my big belly.when i least expect it a man comes and takes me from the hand and lifts me up and offers me a ride to his house.conscienceless i say yes.he took me to his house and told me to lay down while he makes me a cup of tea to calm my nerves.i just sat there waiting.
i drank my tea as he asked,"why were you in that corner by yourself this late at night?don't you know its dangerous?"
i sighed and said "yes but is that i have no were to go"and a tear slipped out of my eyes.
he lifted my face a little bit looked at me in the eyes and asked me"wheres your family?"
with a several more tears i answered"i have none they gave me away to no one I'm lonely"
"and were is the father of your future child" he asked
with a pain i said"he died"
"you will stay here"he said with an eager voice
"no,i don't wanna disturb you"i said as i got up
"no ,please don't leave me stay today at least I'm tired of being alone all the time for once i fell like I'm not lonely."he said with a not in his throat
"ok"i said feeling bad for him
he offered me his bed but i said no because it didn't fell right.so i laid on the couch when i screamed.i had a massive pain.it was kinda normal because i already had 8 months of pregnancy.the man came running to ask what was wrong i told him i had a pain in my stomach when we both realized that i was about to give berth.he called the ambulance while i was still screaming.he was pacing nervously when i was the one giving berth.in about 5 minutes i was in the hospital.screaming listening to the doctor telling me push ,stop pushing.the heads out.the baby is alive.when she said that my own baby was alive tears of joy came out.i asked to hold him.WELL YES ITS A HE.they let the man in.he asked me if i was ok.i said yes.he said can i hold your baby i reached out with my little strength and he took my son.he look at me and whispered,hes beautiful.

The doctor said i would have to spend a few days and the baby too.so i said its ok.the doctors left me alone with the man.then i asked with curiosity "umm I'm sorry whats your name?
"Richard"he said
"thanks for every thing you did for me,if you want you could go now after i come out of the hospital i will look for a job to sustain and take care of my child."
he said"I'm sorry but since i did you a favor can you do me one?"
"of course"i sad
"can i help you raise your child?i will love to be his father and i will help you out and then if it doesn't work between us you may leave but please don't leave me now especially [he gulped:]because i fell like I'm starting to love you i know this sounds crazy because i just met you only like three hours ago but because of all that happened i have realized the true meaning of life."
i didn't have any thing to say i was shocked.when i forced my self to say"ill think about it."
he went home.i was still in the hospital but i couldn't sleep because all i could do is think about what Richard offered me.

the next day early in the morning,Richard was already in my room with a big teddy bear."i have good news if you really want to work i have a very good one for you."he said"what is it?"i said"take care of your son and do some chores in the house cook if you know how to and ill so the rest i promise."i giggled a little.then he came closer to me and our lips finally met.

as months passed by i had my child and me and fransisco had a good relation ship we got married and my child and i were very healthy.
