Live And Learn (2007)
“I got an A for the class I took during June, so I was officially a college graduate.
I was studying hard for my New Jersey teaching certification, but in the meanwhile I had an interview for a long-term substitute position with the Essex County school board.
I would work and save money to get my own place. Soon I would have the one thing I wanted the most. Freedom.
I was in love with a man who lavished me with gifts and affection like I deserved.
I didn’t think anything could bust my bubble.
An...ything except going through my daily planner and noticing that I didn’t have my cycle last month. My period was as regular as clockwork. Hell, you could set time to it. For the past nine years of my life there was only one other time that it didn’t appear as scheduled. I didn’t even want to think of that time.
Maybe it was just stress.
Then again maybe it wasn’t.
I felt weakened by the possibility of being pregnant…again. I couldn’t help but think of the child—my child—that I murdered.MoreLess
