I held onto my baby in my arms as I wept. I couldn't believe he was gone; he fucking left me. He left me all alone. Miracle was sleeping in my arms. I wanted him back so bad. I needed him back; I couldn't do this on my own. I couldn't. I had to get a job, do school work, and take care of my beautiful baby girl. This would be hell without him... total, brutal hell. He took my ring too which meant we were over. I lost my husband.

*two months later*

"Thank you," I said as I handed the woman her change, "have a nice day." I was working as a grocery store clerk. I was bagging groceries in a ma and pop grocery store called "Dino's". I was checking out an elderly woman's groceries when I noticed someone in line that made my stomach do flips: Jack. I went through the elderly woman's groceries as quickly as I could, so I could get to Jack's groceries. I got through her shit in five minutes -- nice record, Lex.

When he got to me, I stared at him with low, droopy eyes. "Hey, Jack," I whispered as I scanned his items slowly.

"Hey, Alex. How're you?"

"I'm... I'm great." I was lying through my teeth. I had gone into a deep depression, dropped out of school, and had my mom come to babysit Miracle every damn day.

"You want to tell me the truth?" he asked with a perched brow. I sighed, stopping the scanning. Thankfully, no one was in my line to complain.

"Jack, I... I am awful. I can't do this on my own. I can't do this; I am just too unstable anymore. I am so sick everyday, and I have been taking meds for depression. You can have her. Don't fight for custody. You know you'd be a better parent, so take her. I'm not going to fight you." Jack pinched his brows together. I began to cry so hard because I knew I had fucked up; I had given up and let my princess down. I stooped to Jack's level. I covered my eyes to hide my hysterics. "J-Just take her. Take her. I can't do this anymore; I am such a let down to her."
