As you woke up your body started to ache and your head began to throb. With your vision a little hazy you you saw a figure stating by across the room. "Erik" you say weakly as the figure gets closer you realize that it's not Erik but a nurse. "Hello Ms. Y/L/N" she says as she hands you a cup of water. "How long have I been here and where's Erik?" you say as you take a sip of your water. "You've been here for about two days but no one named Erik has been here you." "What? Are You Sure?" you say. "Yes I'm sure. I'm gonna go get your inform your doctor that you're awake." she says getting ready to leave.

As she walked out you just sat and thought about everything that happened the other night. "Erik wouldn't leave me here alone." you thought to yourself but then again it's fucking Erik so you knew that it was possible. But you figured that since you were in the hospital her would've made some sore of effort to be there. "How are you feeling today Ms. Y/L/N?" a voice says interrupting your thoughts. "Like shit." you say. "Sorry to hear that." she says while looking at her clipboard. "I just wanted to let you know that your injuries are pretty minor just a few scratches and bruises and a minor concussion." she says getting a little closer to you. "When you were admitted we did a few test to make sure everything was okay internally and we found something and I just wanted to let you know that you're pregnant. Your baby is fine but we're gonna keep you and extra day just to make sure. I'm also gonna schedule an appointment before you leave. Okay! " she says as your body goes numb and you try to process that's going on. Seeing that you were in shock and didn't know what to think she decided to give you so time to alone. "Just let me or any of the other nurses if you need anything." she says walking out of your room.

Your time alone is short lived when you hear "Thank God my baby is up." You automatically knew it was your mom. As she walks up to you kissing you all over your face your dad walks in. "Okay that's enough." your dad says kissing your cheek. "Hi Momma. Hi Dad." you say adjusting yourself in the bed. "How are you feeling baby?" your mom says sitting down beside you. "Like crap." you say look at her. "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" your mom says excitedly. "Mom please." you say feeling annoyed. "What?" she says. "I just found out a few minutes ago." you say still a little annoyed. "Are you excited? I know you and Erik are gonna have some adorable babies." your mom says. "Speaking of Erik, he hasn't been here not once to see you." your dad says sounding a little upset. When you and Erik started dating your parents didn't really care for him but as time progressed they start to love him. And being that he hasn't visited you they were starting to wonder. "Is everything okay with you two?" your dad says concern in his voice. "No really." you say trying to keep yourself for crying. And you began to tell them everything that happened that night.

The Next Day

As you were leaving the hospital you thought about everything the doctor from that morning told you about your pregnancy. "It looks like you're about eight weeks." the doctor says as shes examining you. "It doesn't look like the accident did any damage." she continues. "I'm gonna schedule an appointment for you to come in in a couple of weeks to follow up." but if you feel like something isn't right or anything just come in." she says. You were still lost in your thoughts when you realized you were home. As your mom and dad helped you to your apartment you just thought about how you wanted to take a long bath and relax. But with your mom and dad at your place that was gonna be impossible.

After a few of hours your parents decided to leave and go home. As much as you didn't want your parents at your apartment you were happy they were there especially since your mom made dinner for you. After your parents left you took a long bath as you sat in the bath you thought about how you were gonna tell Erik about the baby or if you were gonna tell him at all. After having sometime to relax you call Erik but it went to voicemail. Not wanting to leave a message you hang up. You were gonna call back you ended up texting him asking him to call you because it was important. A few days pass and you still hadn't heard from Erik and you decide to call him back again this time the number was disconnected. "Are you fucking serious?" you say to yourself. "Is Erik really trying to avoid me?" annoyed and upset you get ready for bed. As you tried to sleep you couldn't help but think about Erik and the baby. You laid in bed thinking of every option you could regarding the future of your baby. You wanted to keep it but you didn't want to have to deal with being a single mother because the thought a parenting a child by yourself scared you even though you knew you would have tons of support from friends and family you felt like it wouldn't be enough. The other option was adoption but you could live with the thought of having a kid out in the world without knowing them or even being there for them. The last option which is something you never though you would ever do or ever thought about which was abortion. You figure with abortion at least you could start over and new with someone else. Erik would never know and the fact that he was avoiding you it seemed like a option you'd consider.

You spent the next couple of days thinking about your options and thought about who to call your were gonna call your best friend Julissa to see what she thought but you felt the only person who could really help you was your mom. "Mom I don't know what to do I don't think I could do this on my own." you say trying to hold back tears. "I know Y/N, the decision you make will be a hard one but don't make a decision based on what anyone is gonna think of you do what you feel is gonna make you happy." she says. You continue your conversation for a bit. "Okay mommy I have to go I'll talk to you late. I Love You." you say. "I love you too baby." she says as you hang up.

Today you were out at lunch with Julissa as you two talk about everything thats happened in the last couple of weeks. Being with her makes you feel a little bit better considering everything you went through. "Girl, Erik ain't shit! FUCK HIM!! she says loudly making everyone in the restaurant look at you. "Shut up." you laugh. "So are you really thinking about getting a abortion." Julissa whispers to you. "Yeah thinking about it." you say. "Just know whatever you decide I'll be there for you." she says as she grabs you hands. "Well I do have an appointment to get an abortion in a couple of days do you want to go with me?" you say looking at Julissa to see what her reaction will be. "I thought you were thinking about it. Bitch you already made an appointment." she says. "I made the appointment just in case but I'm still thinking about it. If I do decide to not get it I'll just cancel." you say as your friend stares at you.

You and Julissa say bye to each other as you go your separate ways. You go home and start cleaning as you start cleaning you find some of Erik's things you debated on whether or not you should throw it away but decide to just take it all and put it in a bag and put it in your closet. Finding Erik's stuff made you sad and upset still wanting to know why he was dodging you. You tried every way possible to contact him and still hadn't heard anything back. You continued cleaning and once you were done you were gonna make dinner but you really didn't feel like cooking so you decided to get take out. A few minutes later your buzzer goes off. "Hello." you say. "Hi I have your delivery." he says. "Okay I'll be down in a sec." On your way back to your apartment you step out of the elevator accidentally bumping into someone. "Oh shit! I'm sorry." a voice says and as you look up you notice how gorgeous the stranger is. "No it was my fault, I'm sorry." you say shyly. "Do you live here I've never seen you around." you continue. "Yeah I just moved in a few days ago. I'm Dominic put people call me Dom." he say extending his hand. "I'm Y/N." you say shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you too. I'll let you go before you food gets cold." Dom says gesturing to your bag. "Okay." you say waving as you walk off. "Umm Y/N?" you hear as you turn around you see Dom jogging towards you. "Do you want to go out to dinner sometime. You don't have to if you don't want to." he says. "Yeah sure!" you say looking at Dom as he pulls out his phone. "Here you can put you number in here and I'll text you the details." he says as he hands you his phone. "There you go." you say as you hand his phone back. "Okay talk to you soon Y/N." he says walking back to the elevator.

"Hey Y/N!" Julissa says walking up to hug you. "Sorry I'm late traffic was crazy." she said has she sat down."That's New York for ya." you say. You were at the clinic waiting to be called. As you waited you started to get nervous but you knew you were doing the right thing. Lost in your thoughts you hear your name being called. You and Julissa get up and follow the nurse. "Are you sure you want to do this." Julissa says as she's holding your hand. "Yeah I'm sure." you say reassuring her. You have been sitting in the room waiting for the doctor for about long 10 minutes. A few more minutes go by and your doctor finally walks in. Over the next few days Julissa stayed at your place to help take care of you and make sure you were doing ok. She did everything she could to make you feel better but you knew that nothing would ever be the same.
