Love Gone Wrong

It was in my 1st year in high school when I first fell in love with a guy. Let's call him Mr. J. He courted me and since I liked him, I answered him with a big YES.

During our first 2 years in relationship, it was full of love, kindness, care and happiness. I thought it would last forever. And because of that great feeling that surrounded us, I gave him every thing to the extend that nothing was left to me.

We lived in a world of fantasy and dreams. We built a kingdom that only the two of us knew about. But then fantasy turned into reality.

If there is 2 years of happiness, it seems there is two years of sadness. He had a relationship with another woman, but I loved him so much, I forgave him, but then he did it again.

He also started to hurt me not just emotionally but physically. He broke my heart and my body. Everything changed, everything was a mess.

I found out I was having a baby with him and because of this, I decided to preserve our relationship for the sake of our child.

After 9 months I gave birth to a beautiful princess. I named her Angel. This did not change Mr. J. and I couldn't tolerate it any longer, so I decided to break up with him.
