Against All Odds Pt. 04

... journey. I just said, "I'm proud of you, Mel. That took courage."

Mike invited me over to their house. I went and had a late dinner that Charity had cooked. The four of us laughed and kept things simple. Mel and I kept sneaking looks at each other. When anger was forming inside me, I decided to leave. I gave everyone a hug, Mel last and went back to the loft.

The weeks went by, and we both stayed clean. Work was going great for me. Stuart was the best boss, but after I got thirty days, we talked, and I moved to Marketing. His door was always open. Eve and I became a formidable team. Our friendship grew, and I often stayed with her and Peter when I was at the head office. We never crossed the line. They both knew I was healing.

Another thing that happened after I got thirty days. I'd been here before, so I was already enjoying the benefits. Four days later, Mel got her first thirty days. We had been slowly hanging out more. She stayed at the loft while I was away but at Mike and Charity's when I was home. Eye on the prize and all. That night was special. Shirley and Mel have become inseparable.

She pointed out that we were already in a relationship, so that rule did not apply.

Then it happened.

Melissa on the Pink Cloud

I missed being with Dave so much. I missed sleeping with him and waking to have a quiet coffee in the morning. The Sunday chill days. He was a morning person, and I was not, but that morning duel of moods was something I missed terribly. We saw each other often, and he even let me stay at the loft when he was on the road.

One of those times, I had a close call as I bumped into JJ in the hallway. I got slammed with the desire to use. She asked if Dave and I were back together. I said no, but we were talking and spending time together. I was shocked that I didn't tell JJ I'd stopped using. This scared me. I called my new sponsor, Shirley, and had a long talk.

During my second week of being clean, I realized my period was late. At first, I was joyous that I could be pregnant. Then, it hit me like a sledgehammer. I could not be sure who the father was. I was two weeks overdue and freaking out. I couldn't tell Dave, but when Ryan texted me, in a panic, I replied and asked him to meet me.
