I sighed hard. "Ms. Sinclair? Do you need more time to think?" The nurse asked and I nodded for the billionth time today.

I had been here since it opened at eight in the morning and it's now two in the afternoon. I've been sitting in the same spot for hours and I just couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my cheeks.

This had to be bad luck.

This couldn't be happening to me. I was a good girl and I had never done anything wrong. I always treated people right even when they didn't treat me right. I obeyed my parents. I loved my sister more than myself. Why is this happening to me?

Well, I guess I did the dirt and this is my consequence.

I sighed again and sat back in the uncomfortable chair. I haven't had anything to eat all day because I've been sitting here. I've been contemplating every option, every scenario.

Thad would hate me for this. I just know he would and I felt horrible already. He's never going to forgive me and it hurts already. He's going to look at me and he's not going to see the same person he fell in love with. He'll see a monster and he'll hate me.

We're too young and we aren't financially stable. We haven't graduated and we haven't seen everything that the world has to offer.

I got up and walked over to the nurse, signing the papers. "Are you sure you want to do this? Children are a wonderful thing."

I bit my lip and nodded as she led me to the back in a small, white, dull room.

"Hey chicken little." Hazel greeted me as I walked in the house. "Where you been?"

"Just exercising." I lied as guilt flooded my emotions.

Kyan came around the corner and kissed Hazel on the cheek. "Wassup, O?" I nodded back in response.

Two weeks have passed and there's been no sign of David. Hazel is doing so much better and the bruises have completely healed except a long, faded scar on her forearm. I'm happy for her and I'm glad Kyan finally expressed his feelings. They're somewhat inseparable now.

Thad came in behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Hey sweet girl." He kissed my hair and walked into the kitchen.

He handed me a small pizza box and I looked at it in confusion. When I opened the pizza box, there was a heart shaped pizza and a sign that said "Prom?" and the 'O' was an olive. When I closed the box, Thad was standing in front of me with a bouquet of roses.

"I know it's not much, and you deserve something so much better, but will you go to prom with me?" He smiled as I noticed Hazel recording.

The reality of what I had just done sunk in and I felt like the worst person on Earth. If he knew what I had done, he wouldn't even be here right now. I didn't deserve him.

"Yes." I smiled and he kissed my forehead.

"Good because I would cry if you said no." He looked at me seriously and I giggled, shaking my head.

After two weeks of constant grief, guilt, and prom shopping, I was drained. Kyan didn't ask Hazel to prom because Hazel told him she was his date or he wouldn't go at all. So, Hazel and I searched all over for prom dresses before giving up and deciding to look online.

"Olive, what's wrong with you?" She asked as we sat down with cups of ice cream from Baskin Robin.

"Nothing." I shrugged and scooped some ice cream in my mouth.
