There's a reason the misfortunes you can tell happen, they teach you to live and appreciate others... they tell you, see, you're still alive and even this pain will be forgotten...

Two days before Patrick had disappeared you had found out you were three weeks pregnant, you were so happy that it took you the rest of the weekend to prepare the surprise, you didn't care that you were still "young" to have a baby but Hockstetter had always been the ideal man in your life, you were the only person he treated well, who loved completely with all his heart

But not all good things last... You arrived at the Hockstetter's house, his parents opened the door and told you to come in, you had the gift in your backpack but you didn't want to tell Patrick's parents anything, you wanted your boyfriend to be the first to know but the afternoon fell and dusk arrived, his parents started to worry since you were there, he always stayed late with you but came back home, but, you were at his house and he didn't come

Hockstetter's mother began to worry and called her friends' parents. They all told her that their children were at home and that they hadn't heard from Patrick since after school...

Everyone knew each other in Derry so the news spread immediately, Patrick was missing

When they confirmed it, they told you that they had only found a small silver chain stuck in the garbage in the sewers, a chain that they shared with you

You burst into tears in front of everyone and ended up saying that you were expecting a baby...Patrick's child

No one could say a word, not your parents, not Patrick's parents...

Now you felt like your world was breaking into a thousand pieces but you had to keep going for your baby...
