It was an accident, I swear...

A Story by Jess Holden

Short story about an unexpected pregnancy. (Uh oh, teenage pregnancy... lol)

When the doctor walked in with that grave expression on his face, I knew what he was going to say. As he started to speak, I went numb; I didn't need to hear his words to understand what he was saying. My life was ending as of today, no more late nights hanging out with friends. No more happy smiling days spent bathing in the warmth of the sunlight. I was trapped. As I watched my mother begin to cry, all I could do was stare at the floor. My eyes began to water, as I thought about school, friends, family... Family that would be growing. "But she's just a girl! I never even herd of someone in her life!" My mother studdered to the doctor, looking for anyway to escape the truth of what was being told to her. I tuned the rest out; just the sound of her pleading voice broke my heart in pieces. I knew staying silent wasn't going to help now, I knew I had to speak up. "Mom..." I gently whispered, hoping I could tell her quietly. She didn't hear me. "Run more tests! This can't be true! It just can't be!" "Mom!" I yelled, hoping she would hear me this time. She quickly turned around to face me. "What?!" She screamed in responce. "Are you telling me their was someone in your life?! Who?! I swear to God..." She began to threaten, but I raised my hand, signalling her to stop.

"Mom, its nothing like that. Take a seat, it's a long story...
