Amy, a starving actress only working in a diner and barely getting by. A girl who has had an abortion, and always seems to fall for the wrong guy. She has been with this guy, John, for about 2 years now, and they have a baby. She found out that he had been cheating on her, and wants to take their baby to live with him and his mistress.

To my surprise, he was already packing a small suitcase with only the necessities. "I don't care if you leave, this is no news to me, but you can never take my baby away from me!" He turned around and faced me and yelled "Do you think I would leave this child with you where he wouldn't have a chance for a decent life?" "Well, at least he would be better off with me than with you and that whore!" He slapped me across the room, and I stumbled onto the floor. In tears I got up and ran to the baby's nursery, and picked him up to stop his crying. "Sh Sh, it's ok."I walked into the kitchen and heard footsteps behind me, and stared at John, daring him to come and try to take the only precious thing in my life worth living for. I backed up to the wall next to the oven, and the next thing I knew he had me cornered with no escape. "You're gonna have to kill me before you take my baby!" I screamed. He grabbed the baby's wrist and pulled with all his might, but I wasn't about to let go. The baby screamed, as my grip loosened more and more. He jerked the baby from me, and the baby was dead. "You killed my baby!" "If you would have let go, this would've never happened!" I pushed past him and kneeled over my bloody baby, and cried. John grabbed the gun from the drawer, and I whirled around just in time to fight him for it, and the next thing I knew he was on the floor dead. I cried, now having lost the 2 people I loved. Knowing what I had to do,I put the gun up to my head and pulled the trigger.
