when i woke up i thought i was gonna puke my guts out i was throwing up so much. i went to school;, got through the day without throwing up. but when my brother came home. i tried to put a fake smile on. i told my mom that i wante to be the one to tell him. "bubba, i have to tell you something." i said quitly. "sure little sister." he said as he was unpacking. "what is it?" "do you remember when got melinda pregnant when you were 15 and i was there for you threw it all?" he gave me a weird look. "yes hayden, i do. but what does that have to do wi- hayden are you pregnant?" "tanner..." "i'm going to kill andrew!" "tanner no!" "hayden you're my little sister! does mom know?" yeah she knows... and so does andrew." "what are you gonna do?" "andrew wants to keep t but i don't know." "well i don't know if you remember. but meand melinda out carly up for adoption. it was hard. but i know it was the best thing to do. we both do. think about it. you can always do an open one. but it's all up to you hayden." my phone ranged. "it's andrew. he's coming over for dinner. so please. don't let it be like the last time. where i had to al the sharp objects from you and your piercing eyes." "ha ha ha ahyden, very funny. now go on you lil runt. i have un packing to do" and just like that we were back to being okay. i called my mom to let her know that i told tanner and that andrew was coming iver for dinner. "i have to work an extra shift honey, call something in." mom was always working late. she had tanner when she was 17 and has done everything she can to make life good for us. even if she did adopt me when i was 2. she has always had a soft heart. but everything was just happening to fast. i'm 17 years old, i can't raise a baby. mean what bout school? who would watch the baby? would i even finish high school? **rriiing!* the door bell rang. i bet it was andrew. "when i opened the door to see it was him, i could feel my face get brighter. "mom is working the late shift. we can order something. tanner's home though. and he knows. and he's angry." "i don't care babe. lets order a pizza. on me." then he kissed my forehead. yuuum pizza. sounds so good right now.i'll probaly throw it up, but i don't care. "so since you're two months and already starting to show we need to tell people." "andrew.." "you're not getting an abortion hayden, i won't allow it!" "andrew this is not your choice! it's mine! this baby is living inside of me! not you! just because you're life is thrown away, doesn't mean you gotta ruin mine too!" and before i knew it WAP! i hit the ground. i was in shock. "is everything okay?" i heard tanner say from his room. "yeah. everythings fine. i just fell." was all i could say. andrew walked towars the door. paid the pizza man. popped a movie in and sat on the couch and ate. did that really just happen? i mean really? i was in so much shock that i could bearly get up. finnaly got up wipped the tears off my face. and grabbed a piece and sat down and just stared at the tv. i wasn even sure what we were watching. i just sat there. then i saw tanner walk down the stairs. he stood there for a minute just staring and said, "hello andrew. hayden come in the kitchen real quick." without a word i got up and followed my brother. "the pizzaz good." i said quitley. "i don't care bout the pizza. i care bout my little sister. and what that red mark on your face? that wasnt there an our ago?" "i fell tanner." "no, you ddn. i'm not stupid. i should kick his ass. it better not ever happen again. lets just hope your little nudger is okay." "tanner." "yeah?" "i know what my choice is."
