I was soon due to have a baby , alone in my bed I wept . The father of my baby just the night left me like most teen pregnancies send them away with selfishness .
I take out my diary and flip to the next blank page . Click the pen open and start writing .
"Dear diary,
Me being just 17 about to turn 18 I can't raise this baby by myself . Jeff left me last night and he had a well paying job for a 22 year old. Also my addiction to these horrid drugs won't do the baby any good . I just can't give the baby the life it deserves . I love it whatever it may be, boy or girl. "

I close the diary as a tear drop splashes on the freshly writer entry . Turn off the light and go to bed.
