ears back. My little
furry friend could see something was wrong. She licked me lovingly on the arm
and gave her tail a little friendly wag. I wiped away the tears with the back
of my hand and pulled her into me. My fingers set to work at stroking the top
of her head.
‘Thank you, Lucy.’
I sat back against the wall, as Lucy climbed onto my
lap. The hallway wasn’t the most comfortable place to sit in the world, but it
was as far as I could get before I broke down. It is strange to see how much I
have changed. Six months ago I was in a happy relationship and I was going to
have a baby. My life was fantastic. Things seemed to be finally moving in the
right direction, but because of one’s persons actions everything had changed. I
lost my baby. I lost my lover. I have turned into this aggressive, hateful
person.
‘I need to get out,’ I told the world. ‘I don’t want
to be here.’
Lucy cocked her head to one side. It was that
are-you-talking-to-me look.
‘Shall we go down the beach?’
Lucy’s tail wagged like never before. Beach was a
word she understood. She yapped a loud yes.

I love the sound of the waves crashing against the
shore. It always seems to put me at peace. Lucy was off playing chicken with
the breaking waves. I sat back in the sand and sighed. Was life really supposed
to be this hard? If everything happened for a reason, was losing my baby part
of my destiny? What type of god would make that happen? What possible lesson
could I learn from such a cruel and devastating act? It hasn’t made me grow. It
has been a negative that has warped my life. Was it all done to get me to where
I am today? Was it all part of some great plan so I could stop the end of the
world? It didn’t make any sense.
‘Hi.’
I looked up at Clarissa and smiled.
‘Hi.’
I needed a friend and had called her up. Clarissa
put everything on hold and rushed out to meet me. She was a real friend. Lucy
came up, said hello, and rushed off back to the shore. Clarissa sat down on the
sand beside me. I could feel a warm glow fill my soul. She was wearing black
knee high boots, a short skirt and a skin tight t-shirt. The t-shirt left
nothing to the imagination, but then again I didn’t have to imagine. I knew how
stunning her body was. Clarissa cuddled into me and placed her head upon my
chest. Unconsciously, I wrapped an arm around her. It felt like the natural
thing to do.
‘What happened?’
‘It was Samantha.’
‘She gave you a call?’
‘No. She was waiting for me when I got home.’
‘Ah...’
‘I don’t know why she doesn’t leave me alone.’
Clarissa said nothing. Her silence was my cue to
continue.
‘I think she is struggling to handle the break up
and losing the baby, but that is on her and not me. I wish she would just leave
me alone and let me get on with my life. I... I shoved her.’
‘You did?’
‘I didn’t mean to. I was just so angry. I pushed her
over.’
‘You are not a bad person, Logan.’
‘What I did was unforgivable.’
‘What she did was unforgivable. If I had been you I
would have stabbed that bitch in the face by now. You are too kind. She knows
that you are kind, which is why she is coming back. She hopes you will give in
and forgive her.’
We sat in silence for a moment.
We sat on the beach and cuddled.
Clarissa was the one to make the move. She lifted
her head and smiled that sweet loving smile at me. It was the type of smile
that washed away all my sadness. She raised her head from my chest and kissed
me softly upon the lips. It was a sweet and gentle kiss. We exchanged smiles. I
stroked my left hand against the side of her beautiful face. Clarissa leaned
into my touch. This tiny display showed how much we truly loved each other. We
kissed a second time. This kiss was slightly longer and we applied more force.
‘I have something for you,’ said Clarissa.
‘You do?’
‘Yes. It was something you wanted
