*Hollis' POV*

"Harold this can't be happening." I cried pacing around his room, frantically running my hands through my hair.

"You just have to ac-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence. This is all your fault. I can't have a kid at sixteen! I don't know what to do." I cried placing my head in my hands.

"Everything is going to be alright. We can get through this. Think about your options here" I cut him off again.

"You're right, for once. I'm going to get an abortion." I said.

"You can't kill an innocent child you haven't met yet! That's so cruel! Maybe you can put it up for adoption, or we can always start a family." He shrugged mumbling the last part.

"Why should I let it stay in my stomach if I give it up for adoption. I'll never see it again, why carry it for nine months. We're to young to start a family Harry." I said, "your to busy with hockey, and I'm going to lose my scholarship if I can't play. Harry, I can't lose my scholarship. That is what my future is depending on. Plus, once your carrier gets going, you're just going to leave me. I can't raise a child on my own."

"Breathe Hollis. I can't have you stressing out. That isn't good for your body." He said.

"Is that l you ever care about? My body and how you can get into my pants? If I keep this child inside of me for nine months my body will sure as hell not look like this. If you really love me you wouldn't only care about my body. I want this for us, yes. I want it to make our relationship stronger. I just don't want it right now. Don't you understand me?" I asked grabbing his hands.

"Of course I understand you. I didn't want a kid at sixteen anyway. I wouldn't know what to do with it if you keep it. You're right, it will ruin your chances at getting into an amazing college, but so will I. I'm the one holding you back Hollis can't you see that."

"No you're not Harry. I love you so much. You're the one who keeps me going everyday. I need you in my life. If I didn't met you in the beginning of high school who knows where I would be now. I sure as hell know I wouldn't be here talking about a child, and a future with you. Harry please don't leave me."

"I'm not going to leave you. I've never loved someone so much in my entire life. I'm just saying," he paused, "that we need to take some time to think about where this, us, is going to go."

"I totally agree. We can talk about it right now. I really think I should get an abortion. It'll help both of us out." I mumbled.

"I know it will, but it just doesn't seem right." He cried grabbing my hands.

"But it's for the best." I sighed. He nodded.

"So about our future. Where do you see us after high school?" He asked lightening the mood.

"Well, if we're still dating at the end of next year, I want to move in together. We've been dating for, I don't know, two and a half years now? I want to take the next step in our relationship. Maybe we'll both get into the same college too. They have a great hockey team there. If we go to the same college, we'll see even more of each other." I smiled at him, picturing what my life would look like.

"That would be awesome. But I meant where do you see our relationship going at the end?" He asked.

"I could go on and on. How about you answer this one. Where do you see us in a year?" I asked.

"Well, I want to be married, maybe engaged to the wonderful women next to me. I want to see her succeed in soccer. I then want to have as many babies that, that body can handle. I see it now. We're living in Manchester in a cute little house that has a park across the street from it that our kids could go to everyday." He smirks opening his eyes.
