   "WHY ARE YOU awake so early?"Mary asked stepping into my bedroom. I was putting on the necklace I had received from the gang about two weeks ago. Since then I have returned to school although the stares were continuous I couldn't care. Cherry attempted to talk to me but I knew it was only because she felt guilty after yelling at me and then having my father die the same day.

"Well, to be truthful I'm going to an adoption agency," I admitted making her go completely quiet. After some thinking, I had decided it was best for adoption. I wasn't entirely sure but had agreed to speak with somebody who worked at an adoption agency to discuss the topic.   

"You're not keeping the twins?" she seemed surprised. I slowly shook my head and put on a long black coat. The weather was becoming warmer meaning I couldn't wear a sweater anymore to cover so I was a little worried about that.

"No, I don't believe it's the right decision for me." I hugged her before walking out of my bedroom and making my way downstairs to smell aunt Jennifer baking some sort of pastry. She gave me a welcoming smile as I sat on a chair becoming extremely nervous. Not telling my aunt would be bad so I had planned to tell her today before leaving for the agency but of course, this wasn't easy to do. I hadn't told many adults, so I didn't know what to expect when it comes to a response from her.

"I was wondering if we could talk about a serious topic? Please." she seemed surprised as she pulled out something from the oven.

"That will be alright I suppose." She hurried to take off her cooking gloves. She sat across from me, and I began to wonder whether or not I should tell her now. My aunt was never a judgemental woman but that didn't mean she would be okay with this shocking news. I didn't want to stress her even more since moving from her home had been difficult I'm sure.

"Well, I'm certain you've noticed uhm I have gained weight." she seemed uncomfortable and slowly nodded her head. It didn't make me mad I knew I had gained which was normal.

  "That's because- "

"I know you're pregnant Rose. The doctor sent a bill."she blurted out. I was shocked I hadn't thought about the bills and all that. I looked down waiting for her to speak once again.

"And I understand. It's your decision Rose but you need to think this through."Her reaction was somewhat better then I had expected which had me feel relieved. I didn't need any more stress going on in my life right now.

"I'm thinking about adoption. I don't think I'm prepared to be a mother and the father well he doesn't want this. I wouldn't want to ruin his life."I looked at the ticking clock as I waited for a response. Surely this was the best option it also benefitted her since she's already taking care of Hazel and me. Two babies would be very expensive.

"Rose, you're never fully ready when you're having a baby. And I understand whoever the father is may not be perfect but don't let his ways change what you want for yourself. If you truly want these babies then you should keep them. We would all help you. You have our support."I grabbed my handbag and smiled to thank her. I understood her point of view but to be completely honest I still didn't see how this could help me. Being pregnant at 17 isn't something I want to show off. And becoming a mother wasn't a plan of mine at all at this moment.

"I'll think about it. By the way, it's twins. Another reason why I shouldn't keep them. Anyways I should go to the agency to discuss this. I'll be back before lunchtime."I waved at her before stepping outside to be faced with a cold wind usually I drive everywhere but today I decided to walk since the agency was only a few minutes walk from my home and to get some exercise since the doctor said that was good for the twins and me.

Walking around my neighborhood wasn't scary at all but today it felt strange. Ever since I was younger, I always had some sort of strange ability sensing when something bad was going to happen. The same feelings I had gotten before both of my parent's deaths. I dismissed it and kept walking. Certainly, I was just being suspicious it was safe nothing bad ever happens on this side of town. I then heard the noise of loud music and voices I recognized. As I turned around to see this car, I realized that it had been Randy, Bob, Cherry, and Marcia who was the first to recognize me.

"Oh look it's the crazy pregnant girl who tried to punch me. Pullover Randy, please."I sped up my walking but of course, that didn't help to see that as of now they had all gotten out of the car except for Cherry who remained in the car appearing feared.

"Please, I really don't have time for arguments. I have an appointment."I looked down at the pavement below my feet as Randy and Bob stood in front of me. Randy was the first to laugh, and I could tell they had been drinking.

"Those stupid baby appointments. You're not thinking about keeping that bastard's kid are you? You're too pretty to be walking around with Dallas Winston's baby."I was frightened as Randy played with my blonde hair. His breath was horrible being mixed with booze and food. Cherry then got out of the car shoving Randy away from me.

"Randy come on. She's a girl who happens to be pregnant. Let her be let's go."Randy didn't listen to Cherry and instead ended up pulling out a switchblade. Bob soon did the same and Marcia only giggled sipping on a coke. Cherry looked terrified. That's when the flashbacks of the night at the drive-in where Randy nearly stabbed me with that thing. If it weren't for the gang,) I would be dead but now I didn't have the gang. They were probably at the Curtis home not thinking a thing about me. Now I was faced against them again only without help. This time I was going to die.

"Please don't. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to disturb you."I whispered between my sobs. I was shaking as Randy came close with the blade. He was smirking like it was some sort of funny joke.

( TW: I don't want to have anyone be triggered by this. So a warning )

"F- First you become a stupid bitch by breaking up with me! Then you sleep with a hoodlum and now you're pregnant! You're a slut, and I hope that baby dies!"he yelled slurring his words with so much anger that it was petrifying. Those words hit me like a train. I seem like such an awful person, but I didn't feel guilty for anything I did to Randy he was sickening.

"RANDY PLEASE DON'T HURT HER!" Cherry pleaded in tears as Marcia pulled her back from running to help me. I continued sobbing as Randy circled around me. That's when he stepped forward and smacked me. I touched my cheek which was stinging from the sudden slap. I then felt myself being slammed into the ground and the pain from the blade touching my leg. I screamed and kicked as they proceeded to pin me down. Cherry was crying and then she suddenly broke free from Marcia's arms.

"GET OFF HER!" She pushed Randy and Bob as they ran off. Marcia followed after them in fear. I felt dizzy, and I could only think about the babies. In only three months I had never been so protective over them. I then heard my cousin Mary running over to me.

"What happened?!" she shouted immediately coming to my aid.

"T-The twins," I mumbled as I tasted the blood from my busted lip.

"CALL 911 NOW!!" Cherry shrieked before I closed my eyes to rest.
