Dear first love,

How can someone be so heartless and manipulative? We were 15 we took eachothers virginity & we liked eachother, you didn’t know but your friends always told me how much you liked me, you were my first everything & then we broke up & a few months later I found out i was pregnant but also that you had gotten a girlfriend & you wanted me to get an abortion but I didn’t want that I couldn’t ever abort my baby just because you didn’t want to be a dad yet bc you wanted to keep fucking around. You tried to force me to get an abortion but I avoided you & I avoided school so I wouldn’t see you. But then you got what you wanted. I lost our baby, i had miscarried & for so long I blamed myself maybe if I never told you, maybe if i had taken better care of myself it wouldn’t have happened & i needed you to be there but you weren’t instead you started talking shit & made everything worse. Finally we were 16 we got close again you wanted to get back together but i just couldn’t... I couldn’t do that to myself again... you hugged me one day put your hand on my stomach & said you were sorry, it made me cry... now we’re 18 we haven’t spoken since the day you said you were sorry lately ive been thinking about that day, about you, about Jaliyah... thats her name just in case you care. Im finally happy, I found the one we’ve been dating for a year & now im pregnant again.. You heard about it, you heard im happy & pregnant with someone new it caused you to break up with your girlfriend... you realized theres no chances left with us so you got back w her and decided to finally start treating her right... I still love you just not the way i used to... you’ll always be her father but it still hurts. I want to talk to you about it but you would just avoid me.
