Patrick was your best friend and boyfriend.

He was the one person you could always and forever count on. So when you found out you were pregnant with his child, you didn’t think he’d even react badly.

But something kept you from telling him.

You were terrified that maybe you were under-thinking this. Maybe he would care. Maybe he would hate you. Maybe he didn’t want kids.

And worst of all, you were forced to pretend everything was fine as you two danced at the Christmas winter ball that your high school was throwing.
