Character Analysis
1.Who am I? I am Leigh. I am a twenty-one-year-old female. I am also finishing my third year of college and looking forward to my senior year and finally graduating. I’ve got my life pretty much all planned out. My boyfriends name is Jimmy and we are pregnant. My boyfriend Jimmy and I are ready to take a big step in our lives and welcome a new little beating heart that will be coming into our lives very soon. Jimmy and I have been dating for quite a while now, over four years to be exact, and honestly he is someone that I can see myself spending the rest of my life with. We have come a long way from where we were when we started four years ago, and it is safe to say that the feelings between us are mutual …show more content…
He has a very good and stable job that can give me four walls, a roof and much more to live under. I feel this type of security when I am with him. (I feel as if sometimes that Leigh is not in love with with the fact of being with Jimmy, but rather the idea of being with him and all of the things that Jimmy can provide her with. For example, when I say “things that he can provide her with”, I am not necessarily talking about materialistic things but rather the American dream. For example, I feel like she is in love with the idea of “being in love”, but not necessarily in love with Jimmy). As far as where I stay goes, I live in a run down, not so nice apartment close to the University with my best friend Grace. Grace is not only my best friend but also has always been like my right hand go to person. She basically has been paying for me and taking care of me not only like a best friend but also a sister (in a way Grace is like Leigh’s caretaker and personal provider). She was someone who I could look up to about anything, especially if I needed help with situations that I had trouble with she was always my go to person. Not only was she …show more content…
A rape victim. I was raped. I was too drunk to remember anything, but at the same time I wasn’t drunk enough to forget. “Davis Stop.” He wouldn’t stop. He kept going. I lost my baby. Jimmy didn’t believe me till I told him. He came in accusing me of cheating on him. My perfect life is now shattered into a million pieces. He took me so easily at his advantage. Grace doesn’t believe me. As a matter of fact she cheered me on and was encouraging my breakup with Jimmy. She thinks she was there the whole time listening in on what was the worse night of my life. I not only lost a piece of me, but I lost a piece of Jimmy and I too. Why am I here? A high school crush, and a dumb college party I shouldn’t have been at in the first place. Typical. People might think my boyfriend was out of town and I took the perfect moment to abolish our love without him knowing and getting to taste the best of both worlds. Little do they know I love Jimmy and I’ve loved him for so long now, I could never do something so low or even think to hurt him. For Goodness sake, I was carrying his baby…Our baby. Where am I? “Davis no!” “Davis please stop!” I’m at a party. Lighting is at its all time low. Couples making out and it seems to me that everyone is in love. “Please Davis STOP!” I’m in a dark room. His hands holding mine down. His body heavily lying on my bare skin. His touch is cold. Just like his heart. Tears are rolling down my eyes, and the music
