1 Stiff and Painful

Janet Leonard's heart beat hard enough to break a rib as she realise how she ruin her life and her parent's happiness but was interrupted by her mother's voice.

"Now you are crying Jane! I can't believe you're crying! I did everything for you, I gave you love. Name it Jane, is there anything that I haven't done for you? you are my only child! What did I get in return this..,' Kate says as she wave her hands in front of her daughter in disgust. "You've ruin your family name Jane and just at the age of twenty. See what you have done to yourself.

Silence. For a while..

"My God! you just finished high school last two years ago and we thought you were preparing yourself for college but no you were roaming around with that criminal an....

"Mom please... I'm whacked leave me alone" Jane plead interrupting Kate.

"Will you shut up that your wee mouth before I shut it for you! I thought you feel a tiny bit guilty about what you did, but no you don't." Kate yelled while looking at her daughter as if she's going to tear her into pieces.

"Mom how can you say such things, I felt and and I'm still feeling a great deal of guilt inside me that makes it hard for me to breathe. I'm trying to think if there is anything left out of my life and here you are making me feel weenie and I can still recall when you always say "Don't be such a weenie, be brave have a little confident" now you are telling me otherwise. It hurts mom, it hurts so much to hear you say mean things to me".

"You deserve it Janet." Mr Leonard says as he enters inside his daughter's room. "You deserve every single words. If someone had told me earlier that my daughter was going to kill herself and her unborn baby, I would have thought that person was crazy

Now look at you, not only the baby gone but your womb with it. You can't conceive again Jane! ". Mr Leonard yell angrily then turn to his wife. "Kate no grandchildren for us anymore. He said it like he was going to cry. "Come on let's leave her to think since that's all she wants".

Kate nodded and they left her alone

Jane pull her big wool sweater tighter around her shoulders and shift closer to the edge of her bed. Her neck had changed from painful to stiff then painful

Although she is now stable, the shock has not left her bones and it felt as if it never will and it makes her sick and cold.

She cry as she remembers her past, how it all started.
