I've been feeling sick and vomiting for the next few days. My father and step-mom said I couldn't go to school. My red hair was a mess. I decided to do what I didn't want to even think about. Dally and I hadn't thought about it that night. I went to the store and back quickly and did it. I put it down on my sink and left it there for around 10 minutes. I came back and looked at it. My mind was processing what it said but once I realized it I dropped it and tears sprang to my eyes. I needed to tell Dally.

I got dressed in some comfortable clothes then started off. I drove to Buck's. Tears were blocking my vision. I got there safely and went inside. I saw Dally sitting by himself, surprisingly, drinking a beer. I walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. He looked at me and I could see a smirk forming on his lips. "Ready for round 2?" I heard him say to me, I could barely hear him because of the loudness of the place. "Can I talk to you?" He called back to him. His head tilted a bit. I lead him outside to our vehicles parked beside each other. "What's wrong?" He asked after seeing my eyes glossy. "We need to talk." I started crying again. I showed him it. "Is that a-" he started but I finished. "A pregnancy test?" Yeah." I looked down.

"This is all my fault." He turned away. I've already made an appointment. I just need someone to take me."

"I'll take ya!" He yelped. "I couldn't ask that of ya, Dally." After I said that, his face hardened. "Please." He started to beg a little. I rolled my eyes, "if ya want." I couldn't stop him either way. He was Dallas Winston. He always got what he wanted. "When's the appointment?" He asked. "Nexg week at 8. The doctor's an hour away." I responded. "Then we'll leave at 6 something." He smiled a little. I couldn't help but smile at him. I was about to open my car door bug turned and kissed him. He kissed back. I got in my car and drove off. He did the same.

The next week went by slowly. I asked my step-mom about it and she said that her Aunt Jilly died from this.

"Having an abortion is dangerous" she had told me. That made me scared but I decided not to tell Dally that I can die from this. It was the day. I got up at 5:33 so I had time. I got dressed in a dress that fell just below my knees. It was comfortable though.

I heard a honk outside my house and looked out the window to see Dally in his car. I waved and opened my front door. I closed it softly behind me and got in his car. "Well hello there, Cherry." He greeted. I nodded gently. He kissed my lips softly. We headed to the doctor.

The drive was silent, just music playing on the radio, it was low but I could still make out the words. After for what seemed like forever, even though it practically was, we drove up to a big white building. He got out quickly and ran to my side and opened the door for me. I nodded softly and, good thing I was wearing sunglasses, I felt tears form in my eyes. I gulped, and hoped that Dally didn't hear.

I gently intertwined our hands. He smiled at me and I did the same back.

We walked into the doctors, hand in hand, and walked up to the front desk. "You can go sit, Dal." I've convinced him after awhile. "Ma'am?" The front woman's voice was soft when she spoke. "I'm here for an appointment." I told.

"Name?" She asked. "Sherry Valance." I told her. "Okay. Just fill this out, please." I nodded after she said this. I filled it out, it took longer than it should've. "You can go sit now." She smiled. I smiled back, or tried to at least. I went to sit next to Dally.

Dally laid his head down and went to sleep. I kept looking at the watch my step-mom had gave me to watch the time.

3 hours have passed now. "Is it time yet?" A sleepy Dallas asked me. "No, hun." I responded. Hun. Had a good ring to it. Dally laid his head over to my side and let his head fall onto my shoulder. He put his hand on mine. "Sherry Valance." A young woman called. Dally and I looked up. "Please follow me, ma'am. I need to explain things to you." I looked at Dally and he nodded. He let me go and follow her though I heard a slight growl emerge from him.

She lead me to a room. "Ms. Valance, we will begin things soon and, well, as I won't go into detail right now, I will let you know that I'm sure you'll do great. Right, honey?" I nodded. "Now, ma'am, this is your decision. If that boy is making you, please let me know." I shook my head, "My decision." I answered. "Are you sure? Last chance." She said. "Yes, I'm sure." I reluctantly answered. "Alright, dear." She got up and lead me back towards the waiting room.

Another 3 hours have passed and it was finally time. "Sherry Valance." That same woman called to me. Dally gave me a kiss before I followed her. She lead me to a room and told me to put the hospital gown on. I did so. I laid in the bed for around 10-15 minutes and the doctor came in. "Are you ready, Ms. Valance?" He asked. "Yeah." I answered. They took me to an operating room while I was still in the bed. I was terrified. It was too late now.

I finally had awoken to a younger woman fiddling with her pens next to me. "Hi." She said after she noticed I was awake. I tried to respond but I felt a nauseous feeling in my stomach. I jerked up and ran to the bathroom. When I came out, I saw the pity look in the nurse's eyes. "Side effect." She said. "Put your clothes on please." She said ever so politely. I did as she said and ran to the bathroom again. I came out again. The nurse instructed for me to follow her and she would call Dally and I both back shortly.

She was right when she said 'shortly' because she called us back 10 minutes later. Me and Dally followed her to a room. "Okay." She started. "You will bleed a lot, honey." She said. She looked from Dally and me. "And nothing goes in and out for 2 weeks." Dally smirked at me. I felt my face start to get warm. She nurse smiled, "That is all. Here's some paperwork and y'all may go."

Dally and I got into the car. I felt tears swell in my eyes. I started crying. "Why are you crying now?" Dally's voice sounded irritated. I shook my head and sniffled. "Wanna eat out somewhere?" He asked, his voice softening. I nodded, "That would be nice."

We stopped at a small place closest to us. "Oh my, I look a mess." I mumbled to myself. I noticed my eyeliner stains down the sides of my face. I guess he didn't hear because he didn't question. We walked into the small diner and sat. We ordered. "I look horrible." I said. "You look beautiful." Dally told me. I smile a bit. We ate and drank and left. Dally and I chatted more than on the way there. He stopped by my house. "I'll see ya 'round, hun." He kissed my lips softly. "Yeah." I responded. "Love you." He says quickly. I look at him, "Love you." I responded. While I was walking away, I turned and blew him a kiss then went inside.

I was meeted with both my parents and step-parents. "Where have you been?" My father asked. "I'm sorry, father."

"Tell me." He kept yelling and wouldn't even let me explain. "I had an abortion!" I yelled out. Both my parents and step-parents and Aaron looked at me, wide-eyed. "An abortion?!" My step-mom ran up to hug me. "I'm sorry, daughter." My father said. "Sorry, hun." My mother kisses my cheek. My step-dad just stands there. Aaron runs up to me and gives me a hug, "Oh my, sister!" I saw the tears swell in his eyes.

They left me alone after that.

"Hey, Sher? I have to tell you something." Aaron comes up to me.

"What is it?" I ask.

Oh.
