Nia Grace fell pregnant at a young age. She's had struggles supporting her and her daughter. One day she meets someone who will change her and her daughter's life for the better.
Through the review mirror I see Justin get smaller and smaller.
I let out a large sigh.
Why am I doing this?
1 month ago.
"Nia, can I talk to you for a moment in my office?" Maria says through the intercom.
"Sure."
I push back my chair and walk into her office.
"Yes Maria?"
"I got you a job as a graphic designer down at the head quarters in Miami, the job's yours if you want it. Only you have to be willing to move."
"Wait, what?"
"You do want to be a graphic designer correct?"
"Yes but I thought that you wanted me to stay here."
"I do. But I realised that even though I need you here, you'd be much more beneficial down in Miami."
"Really?"
She shrugs.

"Thank you, thank you so much." I start crying.
"Don't do emotions here. That's all."
I wipe my eyes and head back into my office.
Back to present.
Why am I doing this? I have no idea.
I thought that this was all I ever wanted but I don't think it is.
In truth all I've ever wanted was love and family.
I'm not going towards what I want, I'm running away from it.
"Stop the car." I say.
"Nia? What are you doing?" Liam questions.
"Stop the car. I don't want this."
The driver pulls over.
"Nia, stop."
I get out of the car and then go and get Lily out.
"Nia," Liam slams the door, "no, you're not doing this. You're coming with me."
"No I'm not."
"NIA!"
"Leave me and my child alone."
"You're throwing away your job? Your better life?"
"No. I'm starting my better life."

I turn around and walk back up the street. Not worrying about the luggage I left in the car.
When I get back to the spot I see Justin with his head in his hands.
I clear my throat.
"Justin?"
His head snaps up.
"N-Nia?" He stands up.
"Are you sure you love me?"
"More than anything in the world." He moves closer.
"Do you still mean the proposal?"
"Of course." He smiles and wipes the few tears on his cheeks.
"I didn't mean that I didn't want you. You're all I've ever wanted and I guess I was afraid of that. I don't care anymore about the fame and the life change. As long as I'm with you I know we'll be okay."
"Nia. I love you. I really mean it, never forget it."
"I won't, I won't forget."
He brings me in for a desperate and passionate kiss.
Flash and the shudder of a camera.
Well, I guess this is the start of my new life.
Well the ending was rushed, sorry about that. I hope enjoyed it though :)
