ARLY'S POV
My mouth dropped open and my eyes immediately went to Ara's stomach.

"How long?" It was all I could force out at the moment. Shock ensued me. My innocent baby sister--pregnant? At fifteen?

"One month," she breathed. "But we'll be putting the baby up for adoption. We are only teens...I regret this so much."

I felt an emotion swell in my heart that was a mixture of happiness and pity for my sister. I knew she was probably about to collapse from all the eyes being on her.

Adam took her hand and looked at me and Allison, and I realized that we both had not said much.

"Congratulations, you two," Allison grinned cheekily. "I hope things work out. And I understand your choice."

"Thanks Alli," Ara returned the smile.

I stood up and gave her a hug. "Breathe, sweetie."

She looked at me with her big, round eyes and opened her mouth to speak. "We need to talk in the dorm, personally."

I nodded and looked at Allison. "Let's go."

Adam began to follow us, but then Ara turned around and placed her hands on his chest. "I need to talk with them..alone."

He nodded in understanding and stopped walking.

"Love you," he said.

"You too," she returned, and then we made our way toward the dorms.
