there, he didn’t want them to spot his car.
     
                Meesie followed behind Jawan trying to figure out what he was doing. She was sad because she knew that the end road wasn’t a good one. She didn’t want her baby growing up in the system being raised by people that only wanted the baby because of a check. When she first found out that she was pregnant, she wished for a little girl. All she could think about was combing her hair with pretty pink barrettes and dressing her in pretty dresses and sandals. She hoped that by then her and Jawan would have saved up enough money to get a bigger place and shortly after they would be married and living happily ever after. None of this had been in her dreams. This was a nightmare and she wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone, not even her worse enemy.
     
                “Come on Meesie !” Jawan yelled at her. She was slow to follow. Maybe he is right. Maybe we should just give up. At least we can turn ourselves in and still be alive to save our good name. Lord knows I don’t want our child to think we just this black trash the media will sadly portray us as if they end up killing us both. At least if we’re alive and our child comes looking for us, we can tell her who we really are. The truth about us. Meesie thought as she placed her hand over her stomach and stopped running again.
     
    She had to think about her child now and even though she wanted to make it to that island and live a happily ever life with just the three of them, she knew it wasn’t likely. Stuff like that only happened in movies.
     
    Jawan had been running so fast that he hadn’t realized that Meesie was no longer behind him. He stopped in between one of the houses and peeked around the corner. Looking down the street where he once lived, he noticed that there were more police cars and an even bigger crowd. All he had to do was get to his car that was parked a couple of blocks over and he and Meesie could get out of there. He wanted to turn his self in and for this to all be over with no matter what Meesie said, but seeing her stand up for him earlier at his uncle’s house, and then seeing her break down crying moments ago tugged at his heart.
     
    He knew what the right thing to do was, but he didn’t want the right thing to be the one thing that would break Meesie’s heart. He figured if maybe he could just get them somewhere safe, get some money together, then he can take them to another state. It would be nice if he could at least be around to see his first child being born, and after that he could hire a lawyer and do things the right way. If Meesie had time to process the fact that he was going to jail, then she could better accept it.
     
    “ Meesie look I got this plan….“ Jawan turned around and didn’t see her. “... Meesie ! Meesie !”
     
    Jawan panicked and felt himself about to blackout.
     
    “Shit, I still didn’t take my—“ Jawan said before collapsing to the ground. 
     
    Meesie sat there in tears as she watched her husband writhe and shake on the ground from yet another seizure. All of the emotional stress had been taking a toll on her body, and she felt as if she would pass out also. She took a deep breath and prepared for the police to come and arrest her. She hated that the last memory that Jawan would have of the free world would be him running from the police without her, and she desperately wished that she could change it. She wanted his last memory to be of her being right by his side like she’d always been.
     
               
     
                She couldn’t stand it anymore. She got up off of the ground and started running over towards Jawan . If the worse was going to happen, then she wanted to be in his presence or a part of it when the worse happened; whether that meant prison or death.
     

     
                She ran and laid down next to her fiancé. She wrapped her arms around him and let her
