I don't own There Goes My Life by Kenny Chesney.

"Okay then. I will call up the coach now and tell her what is going on and to keep it a secret." Sue said. Sue was on the phone with the Cheerios coach and Quinn was filling out the last bit of paper work. Sue was just finishing her phone call.

"Okay all done. Later today I will go talk to the the Berrys to see what I can do." Quinn said.

"Okay. The Cheerios coach knows and she understands and will keep it a secret until you are ready to come out." Sue said.

"Thank-you. Both of you." I said to them. Then the bell rang and I quickly went to my locker and then to my homeroom. Homeroom went by fast. I walked to the choir room. I sat there at the paino. How do I go through this. I'm just a teen. I have no job. I have no money. Should I up my kid up for adoption? Is that the right thing? Or should I keep my kid and be a single mother with no job? I know whatever happens I have Quinn to help me thought it. I know I have to tell him. But how do I tell him? I am so lost and confused.

"Kitty are you okay?" Tina asked from the door way.

"Yeah. I am fine." I said looking at her.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"What are you doing here alone?" She asked me.

"Just need time for myself to think." I said. She walked over to me.

"About?" She asked.

"Things." I said looking at the keys. I start to play a little melody.

"That's really pretty. I didn't know you knew how to play." Tina said.

"Yeah. I thought myself when I was little." I said.

"That's cool." She said.

"Yeah." I said.

"So you ready for this week assigmnet. Do you have anything to sing?" Tina asked.

"Yes. I do but I don't know how I am going to do this." I said.

"Really. What is it I might can help?" She asked me.

"You will have to wait and see." I said. "I am going to go and look a song. Talk to you later Tina."

"Okay. If you need any help I am here." Tina said.

"Thanks." I said walking out. I walked to the auditorium. I went to the paino in there and I started to play. I sang with it.

All he could think about was

I'm too young for this

Got my whole life ahead

Hell I'm just a kid myself

How 'm I gonna raise one

All he could see were his dreams

Goin' up in smoke

So much for ditchin' this town

And hangin' out on the coast

Oh well, those plans are long gone

And he said

"There goes my life

There goes my future, my everything

Might as well kiss it all goodbye

There goes my life"

A couple years of up all night and

Few thousand diapers later

That mistake he thought he made

Covers up the refrigerator

Oh yea, he loves that little girl

Mamma's waitin' to tuck her in

As she fumbles up those stairs

She smiles back at him

Draggin' that teddy bear, sleep tight

Blue eyes and bouncin' curls

He smiles

"There goes my life

There goes my future, my everything

I love you Daddy, good night

There goes my life"

She had that Honda loaded down

With Abercrombie clothes

And fifteen pairs of shoes

And his American Express

He checked the oil, slammed the hood

Said, "You're good to go"

She hugged 'em both

And headed off to the West Coast

And he cried

"There goes my life

There goes my future, my everything

I love you, Baby, goodbye"

There goes my life

There goes my life

Baby goodbye

Baby goodbye

There goes my life

When I got done I heard clapping. I turned around to see.....
