Charlotte-telling Danny
I ran all the way to his house, banging on the door. I know he is home because his car is in the driveway. His mom answers the door. "Oh...Charlotte...are you ok, what is wrong honey?"
"I need...I need to talk to Danny...it's kinda of important."I say between taking breathes.
"He is up in his room dear...you sure you are ok?" She ask again as I wipe the few tears from my face and pull my hair back.
"Yes...I really just need to talk to Danny." I tell her as she lets me in the house. I run past her and to his room. I don't even bother knocking. He is sitting at his desk playing a video game. When he sees me he pushes pause and looks at me with a worried look.
"I heard you left early from school today...I thought you were sick. What's wrong?"
"I...I..." I suddenly bust out in tears and start hitting him in the chest and then across the face.
He grabs my wrist and yells at me."Will you please stop...what the hell is wrong? What did I do?"
"You...I believed you...you said nothing would happen...you fucking liar...I should never have believed in you."
"Woah....calm down...Char...what the hell are you talking about?"
"I'm pregnant...you said I couldn't get pregnant."
"Shit...are you serious?" He pulls me into his arm and I push him away. "What are you going to do?"
"Me...this is your problem too you know?"
"Hey...I was just saying...look I'm sorry. What do you want me to do?" He backs away from me and sits back down on the edge of the bed.
"I don't know..." I huff and start pacing the floor back and forth. There is knock at the door.
"Danny...Charlotte's mom is here to pick her up, is everything alright in there?" his mom says in a worried voice as she knocks again.
He looks over at me and shrugs his shoulders. "Ok...hold up she will be right out." He yells back at her.
I shake my head no. "Danny...they want me to get rid of it. They want me to have an abortion."
He just looks at me.
"Danny...did you hear me...they want me to get rid of it...like...like it never happened."
"I heard you the first time. Maybe we just need to think about this."
"You....you want me to get rid of it too....don't you."
"I didn't say that...I just said we should think about this. I mean we have our whole lives ahead of us. I'm only seventeen."
"And...I'm only sixteen...do you really think that I planned on any of this to happen?"
"No....but it did...so calm down will you...stop yelling."
There is another knock on the door. "Danny...what is going on in there...come out this instant."
He rolls his eyes and walks over to the door to unlock it and his mom is standing there with tears in her eyes. "What have you done?"
"Mom...it's nothing." He walks past her and I follow him in to the living room where both my parents are sitting on the couch. "Nothing...then why everyone upset and yelling."
My dad looks up and sees him and I see the fire in his eyes. He stands up and charges towards Danny pinning him up against the wall. "You...You little prick the least you could have done is used protection."
"Daddy...stop it...please." I cry out.
"What is going on here?" His mom yells out.
"Your son here got my daughter all knocked up because he couldn't take a second out to put on a fucking condom." By dad glares at his mom not taking his hands off of Danny.
"Danny is that true?"
"It was only the one time...I didn't think she would get pregnant. Shit...I'm sorry alright."
"Sorry...that is all you are going to say...Sorry that I got your daughter knocked up." My dad pulls him away from the wall only to knock him right into it again.
"Dude...damn...I said I was sorry alright what the hell do you want me to do?"
"I want you to tell her to get rid of it. I want you to tell her that you will never see her again."
Danny looks over at me and he is so upset. I'm not sure if it's from getting me pregnant...or from being scared from my dad...hell maybe both. "Char...I'm sorry. I never thought you would get pregnant...just do it alright...do what your parents wants you to do."
"You can't mean that...you love me...I thought you loved me...I thought you cared but you are just like them. I hate you. I hate you Danny Roberts and don't you ever....ever talk to me again." I storm out the house and start walking home.
My parents pull up beside me as I am walking. "Get in Charlotte."
I look over and shake my head. Not in this lifetime...how could they think that I would just give up on what is growing inside of me.
"Charlotte I won't ask you again...get in...NOW!!!" He demands and I have never heard my dad talk that way as long as I have been alive. He is so pissed off right now and I get it I do...but he needs to see this from my point of view.
I open the back door and reluctantly get in only because I know he will not let me just walk off. To my surprise they are both speechless all the way home. When we pull up to the house I jump out and run up to my bedroom slamming the door behinds me.
The next day my parents have me at this clinic. The doctor goes over all the details of what will take place...how it will happen. We have to schedule and the next appointment is two weeks away. I stop to use the bathroom before leaving and on the back of the door I see this flyer about this therapy session about mom's; something about prenatal mood and anxiety group therapy. They meet every Tuesday at six. I take a picture with my phone so that I can remember the address.
On Tuesday, I head out of the house. I tell my parents that I am going over to Jennie's house to study. The only reason I think they said yes is because it's not like I can get pregnant if I already am.
I sit out in the parking lot for a good five minutes before getting up the nerve to go in. I thought it would be all young girls but I was wrong...there are women of all ages in here and everyone is finding a place to sit down. I walk with my head down, hoping no one will really notice me there.But this girl comes up to me with and introduces herself.
"Hi...I'm Henley and this is my baby boy" She places her hand on her huge baby bump. "I guess you are expecting too huh..."
I nod my head. "Yes...I'm Charlotte."
