The sun was setting on a warm summer day, casting a golden glow over the city. I was walking down the busy streets, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of my upcoming doctor's appointment. I was 2 months pregnant and had been eagerly anticipating the news of whether If the baby is healty. As I turned the corner, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. I stumbled and grabbed onto a nearby lamppost for support. Panic set in as I realized something was wrong with my baby.

Luna, who had been walking beside me, noticed my distress and quickly rushed to my side. She asked me what was wrong and I could barely get the words out as tears streamed down my face. I had a miscarriage. Luna's face fell in shock and she immediately took charge, calling for an ambulance and helping me into a nearby cafe to sit down.

As we waited for the ambulance, I could feel the pain intensifying and my heart breaking. Luna held my hand and reassured me that everything would be okay. When the ambulance arrived, she helped me into the back and climbed in with me, refusing to leave my side.

We arrived at the hospital and Luna stayed with me as the doctors rushed me into the emergency room. I was surrounded by bright lights, beeping machines, and frantic medical personnel. I could hear snippets of their conversations as they worked to save my baby, but my mind was too clouded with fear and sadness to fully comprehend.

After what felt like hours, the doctor emerged from the operating room with a grave expression on his face. He took me and Luna into a private room and delivered the devastating news. I had lost my baby. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had been so excited to become a mother and now it was all gone.

Tears streamed down my face as I let out a loud scream of anguish. Luna held me tightly as I cried and cried, my heart shattered into a million pieces. The doctor tried to console me, telling me that I was physically okay, but it was hard to find any solace in that when I had lost my precious baby.

As I lay in the hospital bed, I couldn't help but think about the future that could have been. I had already started to plan for my baby's arrival, decorating the nursery and buying cute little outfits.

I imagined holding my baby in my arms, watching them grow up, and creating a beautiful life together. But now, all those dreams were shattered, and I was left with a gaping hole in my heart. I cried until I had no more tears left, and even then, the pain didn't go away. Now, all those dreams and hopes were gone in an instant.

Luna stayed with me for days, comforting me and helping me through the grief and pain. Eventually, I was discharged from the hospital, but the emotional scars of losing my baby would stay with me forever. I would never forget that fateful day and the heartache that came with it. But I knew that with Luna by my side, I would find the strength to heal and move forward.

As we walked down the familiar path towards our home, the weight of the day's events seemed to be weighing heavily on my shoulders. Luna, could sense my unease and placed a comforting hand on my back. 'I know it's been a tough day,' she began, her voice gentle and understanding. 'But you can't keep blaming yourself for everything that happened. It's not your fault.'

I let out a heavy sigh, feeling a knot form in my stomach at her words. 'But I could have done something, Luna. I could have made a difference.'

Luna stopped walking and turned to face me, her eyes full of compassion. 'You did everything you could, and sometimes things are just out of our control. It's not your responsibility to fix everything, and it's not fair to put that burden on yourself.'

Tears threatened to spill over as I thought about all the things that had gone wrong. It seemed like a never-ending cycle of bad luck and mistakes, and I couldn't help but feel like I was to blame. But Luna's words were like a soothing balm, easing the guilt and self-blame that had been consuming me.

'I know it's hard,' she continued, her voice soft but firm. 'But it's okay to let go of that guilt and know that everything happens for a reason. We may not always understand why, but it's a part of life and we have to learn to accept it.'

I nodded, grateful for her wise words and her unwavering support. Luna always had a way of making me see things in a different light, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of calm wash over me.

As we continued our walk home, I couldn't help but think about Luna's words. She was right, I couldn't keep blaming myself for things that were out of my control. And even though it was hard, I knew I had to let go of that burden and trust that everything would work out in the end.

As Luna and I arrived home, I could feel the heaviness in my chest and the tears threatening to spill from my eyes. I knew what I had to do, even though it was going to be one of the hardest decisions i had to make. As I walked into my room, I started to pack my things, my hands shaking with each item I placed into my suitcase. Luna watched me curiously, her brow furrowed in confusion.

'What are you doing?' she finally asked, breaking the tense silence in the room.

'I'm leaving,' I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. Luna's face turned to shock as she processed my words.

'Leaving? But why?'

Tears started to roll down my cheeks as I looked at Luna, my best friend, the only person who knew about my secret. 'I miss my dad,' I said, my voice trembling. 'I can't take it here anymore. This place is suffocating me, and I can't stay here any longer.'

Luna's expression softened as she realized the pain I was going through. She knew how much I missed my dad.


'But what about your ¨school¨? Your friends? Your life here?' Luna asked, her voice filled with concern.

'I don't care about any of that anymore,' I said, my voice shaking with emotion. 'I can't pretend to be okay when I'm not. I need to get away from here, from all the memories and the pain. And I can't do that if I stay.'

Luna nodded, understanding my pain, but still worried about my sudden decision. 'But what about the miscarriage?' she asked, her eyes filled with sympathy.

I froze at her words, feeling a fresh wave of pain wash over me. I had been pregnant with my first child, and I had lost the baby. It was a secret that only Luna knew, and I didn't want anyone else to find out. The thought of facing the pity and condolences from everyone in town was too much for me to bear.

'I can't stay here and face everyone's pity and sympathy,' I said, my voice shaking with anger. 'I need to leave before anyone finds out.'

Luna's eyes widened in shock, but she quickly composed herself. 'Okay,' she said, determination in her voice. 'I'll help you pack, and we'll leave tonight. No one needs to know about the miscarriage or your plans. We'll start fresh somewhere else.'

A sense of relief washed over me as I hugged Luna, grateful for her support and understanding. We quickly finished packing my things and left a note for my neigbor, letting her know that I had to leave suddenly for family emergency.
