How could something that happened so long ago still hurt so much? Oh how I rembered that night.

Brittany and I were going to get married and she had suprised him by telling him that she was expecting. A few weeks went by and she was in great pain. I thought the baby was coming. Brittany wasnt so sure, she said it was too early. (chipmunks are only pregnat for a month and it hadn't been that long yet) When we got to the hospital the doctor was sure. It was too early, something was wrong and thats why she was in pain. After hours of heart wrentching pain Brittany cried when the doctor told her she had lost the baby. I cried too. The doctor left us alone and we spent the night crying in each others arms. We decided to name the baby anyway, we chose Sophie.

About a week later they released Brittany from the hospital. I never left her side. I was driving us home telling her how much I loved her and that it wasnt her fault. Going over the bridge to get to our home the ground began to shake. I was horrified. People were screaming. The bridge began to crumble people were abandoning their cars and running to get away. Brittany and I started running too, but she ran in another direction. Then I saw where she was going, a fleeing mother had dropped her todler, I could see the mother now she was dangling from the edge of the bridge screaming for all she was worth.

I ran over to her and Brittany ran for the baby. I grabbed her hands and tried to help her but she was too worn out, she couldn't hold on. Her last words before she slipped away into her death were " Save my Sophie" she wispered softly before slipping out of my hands. I couldn't help but scream as she fell, I thought I could save her.

Brittany ran over and handing me the baby, er... Sophia saying only that I was stronger and we had to run. Fast.

The ground shook again and more of the bridge fell into the water. I grabbed ahold of the railing and reached for Brittany. But she was sliding down towards the broken end of the bridge. "Noooooooooo!" I screamed and ran to her. I grabbed her hand and pulled as best I could with a baby in my arms. She looked up at me " Alvin, let go." "Are you crazy? No!" "Alvin you can't save me and the baby. And if you don't let go we will all die." "I'd rather die than lose you!" " I'm sorry Alvin I can't let you do that, I love you." And then she let go.
