Dim the hazel

"Agg gg-gg guh guh tss!

Mmmmm-mmm!"

Sigh

"I shouldn't have left that club alone."

Visions of that night returning

As she stared vacantly into the babe's eyes

"Lucky you. I didn't have enough

for an abortion, you should be grateful.

I could've put you into foster care, you know."

He waved his tiny fist in excitement

"You don't even understand what I'm saying,"

Confusion tainted his small features 

For the briefest of seconds

Only to be replaced with a gummy grin

Drool dribbling down his chin

Both feet kicking out in excitement

Staring into his hazel eyes

Violent memories of the attack assaulted her

She looked away

"I hate your eyes. They're just like his.

I bet you're going to grow up to look just like him, huh?"

Anger bubbled up inside her

She looked back inside those hazel eyes

He stared at her oblivious to the turmoil swirling inside her

He smiled

Rage marring her features

Why? Why me? I should've called for a cab that night.

Why are you smiling at me like that?

Are you laughing at me? Is that it? You're mocking me?!

He laughed

"Stop looking at me with those eyes!"

She screamed snatching him up

She shook him

He cried

"Shut up! Shut up shut up shut up! SHUT UP!"

He had stopped crying long before

...

I wonder what she felt

This isn't made to make anyone look like the bad guy. Nor am I creating victims. I'm simply saying that we never truly know until something drastic happens until something undeniably changes. It's a cruel thing and I will not claim to understand this situation. I only wrote it.
