Excuse any mistakes as it is unedited

My name is Mari and I'm 18 in a senior in high school with a scholarship to one of the top nursing schools around. Life is great right now with my friends and family.... Mari paused in her writing. " Now matter how much I try to write and rewrite it it will never be the real story " Mari thought. Her phone rung knocking her out of her thoughts. (Drake ringtone plays )

Mari: hello
Jae: whats up baby
Mari: I'm not your baby what you want
Jae: don't play with me have you decided what you gone do ?
Mari: with ???
Jae: the baby Mari don't play dumb
Mari: I'm Keeping It
Jae: (silence)
Mari: look I know you don't want a baby right now and that's your decision but once I took the test and it said positive i didn't have a decision in whether I should keep it or not my option was and is to be a mother now that's my decision. Motherhood is not optional , but your choice to be here is .
Jae: I Gotta Go Good Luck With That DECISION .
( Call Ended )

That's typical Mari thought . No matter what happens and what he decides I have to be mother. Welcome to Motherhood Mari She said to herself.

Jae Wakes up the next day with his mind racing. How could she keep the baby we are both so young and this baby could really hinder our future. Ima going to call her and see if I can change her mind.
Mari: What
Jae: don't be like that
Mari: don't be like what you told me good luck with a decision to keep our child that we both help make
Jae: man I  don't you think I understand that but I'm not ready for kid and neither are you and you know that
Mari: All I know is that you are running from your responsibility we both made a decision to have sex without protection
Jae: I love you girl I honestly do I would move heaven and earth for you if I could but I don't think you are really thinking rationally about this we both are in high school with struggling parents how are we going to care for a child.
Mari : I'm fine arguing about this are you in or out ?
Jae : I'm out
(Call ended)

With that Mari Blocked his number . If he doesn't Want to be here then that's fine I'll do it by myself.

"Who was that on the phone "her mother asks. No One Mari Replied. "Does this no one have anything to do with this pregnancy test " her mother asked .......

Mom I was going to tell you but I've been talking yo Jae to see what he was thinking. I know your going to say I've been irresponsible but everything happened so fast.

Tasha begins pacing wondering how this wicked circle of teen pregnancy has also became her daughters life after she's worked and fought so hard for her to have a better life.

"Look I know everything happened fast that's pretty much how passion works but what have we discussed time and time again" Tasha asks
"To always use protection cause one time is all it takes" Mari answers
Exactly so how can you just deliberately disobey me I've fought so hard that give you a better life I've fought for this now this is just a wicked generational curse Tasha screams to Mari.
Well look now your pregnant and your having this baby of course I'll be here to help and support you because I love you no matter what you may have done so Tasha says.
With that Tasha walks out the room. Mari sits in here room thinking....

Damn And I Just Got Accepted To The Nursing School Of My Dreams......

Tell me what you think ?

Will Mari really keep the baby?

Will Jae get his act together ?
