Dear Diary,
So, I have been doing a little investigating. Okay, that sounds horrible. Let me rephrase: I have been trying to figure out who the heck got me pregnant. There are only two options: My boyfriend Drake or an accidental one-night-stand with a cute guy I met at a club. I was.. with.. both guys around the same time I would have gotten pregnant. I still haven't told anyone except James, of course. I was thinking about calling my sister, but she would get all up in my grill and probably send me weird vitamins for my breasts or something. (She has two kids and thinks she knows everything.) I did tried calling Drake, but I ended up hanging up on him three times. I think he's a little worried.
So basically, nothing much has changed since I last wrote. I haven't stopped puking. I threw out pretty much all of my food. And I keep having dreams that I am extremely overweight and have to move back with my parents. (Which is probably going to happen...)
My parents want me to come home for Christmas, so I lied and told them Drake invited me over to have Christmas with his family. I also lied to Drake and told him I was going back home for Christmas. I guess it's just me and the toilet then. Maybe I'll go get a little tree or something and decorate it.

Ugh, this pregnancy thing is so annoying. First, I had to spend Christmas alone. Second, I didn't do anything on New Years except throw up and eat Ramen. This is pretty much the worst thing that's ever happened to me. Why do women want to have babies so badly?

James won't stop calling me. Neither will Drake. Like, seriously? I'm fine. Drake thinks I'm breaking up with him, but I'm just scared he'll break up with me if I tell him the truth.
But I think I need to tell him. I feel bad for keeping this a secret. Sort of.

Oh my gosh. I am so nervous. I am finally going to tell Drake. He's on his way over right now. I think I am sweating more than the plumber that came over and fixed my toilet last week. I'll check back in when I tell him.
Later.
Everything went well! Drake was really surprised, but happy. He was really understanding about the whole hiding it thing, so that was good. But then he got all funny and asked me a bunch of questions. Like, if I wanted pickles and stuff like that. Which I thought was really sweet.
Anyway, he had to go to work, but we still need to decide if we are going to keep the baby or give it up for adoption. But abortion is obviously not an option. If we are keeping it, that means I have to tell my parents. And my sister. Ugh.

Hi guys! So yes, this chapter is super short, but I like it because you get to see what's going on in Violet's life.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it! Please vote and leave me feedback! (I love comments)
