Dirty
Loreen struggles with life, like most teenagers. But unlike a lot of other teenagers, her father is abusive, sexually and physically. It really gets to Loreen but it isn't like she can do anything about it, she has no other family except for...
"Yeah," I say. I remember the first time meeting her. She punched me because I was with Ethan. They had been a thing, but they were just sleeping together.
"Ethan was the first real relationship I had. I lost my virginity to him," she says.
"I already knew that," I tell her.
"Okay. Ethan and I slept together a lot after we broke up. Ethan has been the only person I have ever slept with. Then you guys got together and I moved closer. I have been having some problems lately. My mom took me to the doctor," she says. She looks at me. "I'm pregnant, Lor. And Ethan is the father."
Oh. My. Gosh.
"Ha-have you told Ethan?" I stutter.
"No. I just figured out yesterday. I wanted to tell you first," she says. "I'm sorry." We sit there in silence for a couple of minutes.
"What are you going to do?" I ask. I am not asking her to kill her baby just so I can have a stable relationship.
"My mom is making me talk to Ethan about it. She says that Ethan and I need to make a decision," she says.
"What do you want to do?" I ask.
"I don't want to have the baby. I want you and Ethan to be happy. Ethan doesn't love me anymore and he isn't going to chose to leave you to be with me just so this baby has a mother and father. I am not going to make Ethan do that. He loves you," she finishes in a hurry.
"Ivory. Is that what you really want?" I ask. She looks shocked. "Do you want to have this baby?" She looks at me and she shakes her head violently.
"I already made my decision. Please, don't make me think about it anymore," she says.
"Okay," I say to her. "Do you want me to be with you when you tell Ethan?" I ask. She starts to cry and so do I. She nods her head.
She gets up and wipes her face. I get up as well. She hugs me. "I am so glad I have a good friend like you," she says into my neck. She stands up straight and turns around. I follow her as we make our way to Ethan's room.

"Ethan. I am pregnant," Ivy says, starting to cry. We have been in his room talking to Ethan for the last couple minutes and he has barely looked at me.
"What?" he asks.
"I'm pregnant," Ivy says. "And you're the father." He looks at Ivy. He looks confused.
"How? We always used protection. How?" he says.
"The condom must have broke. I don't know, Ethan. All I know is that I have only ever had sex with one person in my whole life and that is you and I am pregnant so it has to be yours," Ivy says.
"Have you drank alcohol or got high at all?" Ethan asks, sounding hopeful.
"No. I am not like that and you know that," Ivy says.
Ethan continues to look at her. He just stares. He takes his eyes away from Ivory and looks at me. His eyes are tearing up and his face is red.
"What do you want to do?" Ivy asks Ethan. "My mom said we need to decide together. She said the best option is an abortion. I think that is best too," Ivy says. Ethan doesn't say anything. "Ethan, I am so sorry."
Ethan just sits there. After a while, he says "Do whatever. I don't know what to do." Ivy nods her head and gets up.
"Well, I am going to head home. Okay? I will talk to you guys later," she says, walking out of the room and leaving. I stay sitting where I was and watch Ethan.
After ten minutes, I get up and walk over to him. I sit on his lap and put my head into his chest. He mumbles something that I don't quite catch.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing," he says. "I love you. Please don't ever leave me, please. I love you," he says.
"Hey! Who said I was leaving? Huh? I am not leaving you!" I say.
"I just wanted to make sure," he says.

Ethan's P.O.V.
The rest of the day was a blur. Lor and I talked for a while until she fell asleep on my chest. I fell asleep as well.
I hear something fall and a weird noise.
What was that?
I walk towards the gurgling, struggling noise. I open a door leading outside and see a playground. There are children all around, but the main focus seems to be a tree; someone is hanging from it.
I run towards the tree, the figure hanging there by a rope becoming familiar. She doesn't bother making noises anymore. She just kicks her elf around trying to get down to breathe.
"Loreen!" I try to scream but nothing comes out. She stops struggling and dies. She just hangs there. The rope disappears and she falls. I run to her body and look at the rope marks on her neck. I cry.
I jolt awake on my bed and look at Loreen laying next to me, safe. I guess, she woke up because she looks at my sweaty face and asks what's wrong.
I pull her close to me and kiss her. I don't want to ever lose her, I can't. I kiss her aggressively. She lets me for a little while and then she pulls back.
"Are you going to tell me what is going on?" she says. I can't tell her. I can't say that I am having dreams about me killing her or me not being able to do anything to stop her death. I can't tell her that.
"Not right now. I just need to be with you," I say as I pull her close. We fall asleep like that and I don't dream again all throughout the night.
