Bethany Carrington is a junior in high school. She's a great student, she has really good taste in fashion, she even has the "perfect" boyfriend or so she thought. She also has a brother named Josh who is a year older. He has a best friend named B...
I wake up running to the bathroom and throw my dinner up once again. Once I finish I brush my teeth and pick an outfit for school. I choose a floral dress, and black boots with a slight heel to them. I curl my hair and put mascara and eyeliner on.

Once I finish getting ready I go downstairs to make toast and eggs for breakfast. As I put my eggs on a plate with toast on it Blake and Josh walk in the kitchen.
"Morning" Josh says going into the fridge
"Morning" I say sitting down
"How are you feeling?" Blake asks sitting down
"What?" I ask nervously
"You weren't feeling good yesterday...Are you feeling ok now?" he says
"Oh that" I laugh "Umm yea a little"
"That's good" he smiles
"Yea" I say before scuffing the rest of my breakfast down
After breakfast I grab my keys and head to Ashley's. After I pick her up we drive to starbucks. She gets an iced coffee and I get a passion tea lemonade with a blueberry muffin.
"Did you call the number I sent you?" she asks as we leave starbucks
"Yea my appointment is on friday" I say
"So I figure you're not going to the party" she says
"I am" I say "I have to act like everything's normal if I don't want anyone to suspect something's up"
"You can't hide it forever" she says
"I know that" I say as we reach a red light and look towards her "I'm scared"
"I understand but sooner or later people are going to find out" she says
"I don't know what to do anymore" I say as the light turns green "I'm not ready to be a mom"
"You don't have to" she says
"What?" I ask
"There are options like I told you"
"Abortion isn't an option. I'm against it"
"There's adoption" she says
"And what I just go on with my life knowing that my kid is out there with some stranger" I say "I wouldn't be able to do that"
"Just think about it at least" she says
I park in a spot and we get out. We walk to our lockers and put our bags inside. I take out my binder and textbook for math.
"Does it feel different?" Ashley asks
"What does?" I ask. She glances down to my stomach "Oh..umm...not really I've just been getting sick. I look the same, no weight gain so that's a plus, but my boobs are starting to feel sore"
