"Some things are just harder to let go of."
>Intro<
I stood behind the counter of the small dinner all dressed up as the waitress. My caramel hair was up in a neat bun, my red shirt and black slacks were accented with a crisp white apron tied around my slim waist, and my name tag was pinned just to the left of the buttons on my shirt. My short heels clicked on the tile floor as I walked, though not very loudly.
This was the place I had been working at for four years. I have worked hard to keep my place here since I desperately needed the money. However, this place also brought back bitter-sweet memories for me. Though now, I hardly find time to cry on them anymore. I look over and see the small, four year old girl that was sitting in the booth nearby. All those memories were now wrapped in a small, shy bundle that was the joy of my life. Yet, she was still a secret from the one man that I needed here the most.
>Backstory<
Brooklyn Hayes is a young woman of twenty-two. When she was eighteen, she had met the man she thought she would always be with. They spent almost all their time together, meeting at the small cafe where she now works the most. She would always say how much she loved him, however everything changed on one night.
Brook had just received news that rocked her world, and she had rushed to her boyfriend's house to let him know. However, upon arriving, he gave her the news that he planned to enlist in the military. She began to panic. She tried to talk him out of going since she didn't want him to leave, but it all just ended up in a huge fight. He wanted to go, but she was very much against it.
She left his house with tears streaming, rushing home once again. She hadn't had time to tell him her news. She figured she'd let him cool off before telling him, planning on letting him know in the morning. However, once morning came, she found out he had already left, bags and all. He had left behind his town, family, and her, all without knowing Brook was pregnant with his child.

However, he has returned after four years of being gone, trying to settle into his life in town again. You can decide why he is sent home, and what experiences he may or may not have had. There has been no communication with Brook in the past few years, so he has no idea where or how she might be.
Upon meeting, Brook is very surprised, and hesitant on drawing close to him again. She has never lost any feelings towards him in all this time, yet she doesn't know if he feels the same towards her. Either way, she afraid of what his reaction may be towards their child, and whether or not he might leave her again. There is also someone behind the scenes who is trying to steal Brook's heart.
