Pain beyond any other

That night was one of the worst nights I had ever experienced in my life so far, I was on sedatives and painkillers but I was still in so much pain. This pain was beyond any other pain I had ever experienced, I felt so sorry for Rob because I cried out in pain so many times during the night.

Every time I cried out in pain Rob came to my side and held me until the nurse gave me more painkillers and I fell back to sleep. This boy was the best thing to ever happen to me and I wasn't planning on letting him go.

Little did I know that I might not have a choice in a few months time, but I will get to that later.

In the morning the pain was bearable with over the counter painkillers so I was released to Jodie's place. I was told to rest for another couple of days before I did anything more than walking.

How to explain this to mum and dad, do I dare ask them if I can stay at Jodie's another night. Jodie said it was okay to stay at her place tonight if I felt I needed to.

I rang mum nervous about how she would take me asking to stay here long. "Hello Jones residence Christine speaking" my mum answered the phone with her usual greeting "Hi mum" I said in the happiest voice I could muster.

"Hi Sophie what's up?" she asked so I went into my speal I had prepared "Um I was hoping to stay here another night if you're ok with it, Jodie and I had so much fun yesterday I don't want it to be over so soon."

"Is Jodie ok with it?" she asked at this point Jodie who had been listening called out "I would love to have Sophie stay another night."

So it had all been planned I was able to stay another night at Jodie's. Thank goodness mum hadn't questioned it too much she just wanted to make sure Jodie was ok with it. So now it was the start of my second night away from home after the abortion.

Rob had to go home tonight he didn't even bother trying to ask his Foster parents for another night away. So on this lonely night I just had my pillow to cuddle, no Rob to comfort me, I probably could have asked Jodie but it wasn't going to be the same.

But Rob still stayed until the last bus to go home.
