Desires can be tricky

Levine

Being here against my own will by my sister.

I don't know how I feel about it but now I have so many regrets. I should have told my father when I found out that she was doing this. There was still a chance to save her from this situation. Now that she is so far gone, it is too late.

"Lissy, there is still a chance for you to stop this. You don't have to do this.'' I beg her. I want her to think about her actions and the consequences.

"There is nothing to think about. This has to be done.''

I close my eyes and take a deep breath "Why? Because you don't want the kid?'' I ask her calmly. I want to talk sense to her. I have to thread this carefully unless I might just end up losing this fight.

"This is not about the kid."

"Then why are you doing this. That child has a father. You should talk to the father. It's that guy from the bar…right?''

"He doesn't even know anything about me. I can't tell him about this.''
