Broken: A Maksyl fanfiction

Chapter 2

Meryl

"Meryl Davis?!" He exclaims, obviously shocked.

"Roy Capperman!" I say, equaly surprised.

"Wow it's been years! I haven't seen you since- well, since highschool..." His voice trails off as he remembers.

"Yeah." I say softly. The memories flood my mind.

(FLASHBACK)

I walk down the crowded hallway to my jock boyfriend. He turns towards me with an annoyed look. I interupted him from his friends.

"What is it, Meryl?" He grits between his teeth, still messing around with his friends.

"Roy, its seri-" "Roy I need to talk to you" "Roy listen-" I tried to tell him, but he kept goofing off with his friends. Finally I couldn't take it.

"ROY!!!" I screamed at him. That got his attention. He and his friends stare wide-eyed at me. I never raised my voice. I was just the tiny skating girl who liked to wear babydoll dresses and dating the most popular guy in the school.

"Roy, I have something to tell you... it's very important so I need to talk to you NOW." I yelled at him.

"Fine." He mumbled and let me drag him away from his friends.

I stopped at me locker and looked him right in the eyes.

"I'm pregnant." I said and started crying. He stood there frozen and unmoving.

"Oh my god." He says looking down at this shoes. "What are you gonna do...?"

"What am I gonna do? What are YOU going to do?!" I said and slapped him. Hard.

"Ouch! What was that for?!" He said rubbing his red cheek. "Isn't it, like, up to the girl to decide?" He exclaims, defending himself. I sigh.

"I'll talk to you later." I say and run away sobbing.

I cried in my room for hours that night.

I felt ashamed. So ashamed.

It went against everything my parents had ever taught me.

I have dreams.

Dreams of winning a gold medal in the Olympics with Charlie.

Dreams of becoming something. Dreams of getting out of this town.

It's my senior year.

If I became one of those teenage moms who lived in a trailer park with a drunk husband, I couldn't do any of those things.

I cried some more.

And I cried some more.

I cried even more.

Until I came to the realization of what I had to do.

And then, I cried some more.

My sheet was wet from my tears.

I didn't get any sleep that night.

-

In a week, the baby was gone.

And I was crushed.

The only people who knew about it were Roy, my mom, my dad, and my brother.

My parents didn't speak to me for weeks.

I didn't go to school for weeks.

I didn't eat.

I didn't sleep.

My parents got so worried that they made me see a psychologist.

I slowly got better.

One day, my boyfriend, Roy came to the house.

My parents were at work and I was home alone.

It was a Sunday and I hadn't gone back to school.

"Hey." He said. I just started crying.

He came inside and sat on the couch hugging me, until I could finally speak.

"The baby," I sobbed. "I had an abortion."

He didn't cry.

He couldn't.

He didn't even know the thing.

He just sat there staring at the wall until finally I got a grip of myself.

"Roy." I said. "I think you should go."

"Meryl, it's not just you. I'm in this too." He replied back.

"No, Roy. You aren't. Not anymore." I said slowly. "I can't live with this.... And every time I see your face it just-it just kills me, ok? If I'm going to get through this, you can't be in my life anymore. I'm sorry."

He had gotten up and walked out.

I cried more.

(FLASHBACK OVER)

"So, how you been doing?" Roy asks me, breaking me out of my daynightmares.

"Roy. What are you doing back in town. Last I hear you moved to Virginia with Stacey Kohl." I say, tears in my eyes now.

"We divorced. I...decided to come back to town." He said quietly.

-

That night I cried the whole time.

I tried so hard to get away from my old life and old secrets.

I'm dating Maks now.

All of my dreams had come true.

Maks can't know about my past life.

He can't know my secret.

Hey guys! I wanted you to know that my own personal opinions on abortion aren't ones I'd like to share or make public but I'm sorry if this topic offends some people. Hope you enjoyed
