When it Happened

Oh no, it’s happening again. Just when I think I am done having the flashbacks it comes back. Just like a fly that just won’t die. When it happened I lived in a very poor town and it wasn’t exactly the safest:

“You won’t tell anyone I had an abortion right Grace?â€?

“No, I promise.â€? I tell her and give her a hug.
To bad I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.

“What is up with you today baby?â€? My boyfriend said to my very straight face.

“Well you should be worrying about my friend Abby.â€? I said without even thinking.

“What is wrong with her?â€?

“I promised I wouldn’t say.â€?

“Oh common you can tell me.â€? He kissed my nose then my lips. He always knew just what say to make me talk.

“She had an abortion yesterday,â€? I whispered and his expression really changed. It seethed with anger.

“What is up with you?â€? I asked him while I put my hand to his cheek. He smacked it away and storms off. I see him pull out his phone and he screams at someone.

Later that night Abby and I walked to my house.
