~COMPLETED~ | This story is being slowly edited. "As much as you want to plan your life, it has a way of surprising you with unexpected things that will make you happier than you originally planned. And that's what you call God's will." I gazed down at my swollen stomach, the place where my baby was growing and being kept safe, and gently rubbed it. A smile slowly formed onto my lips. "This baby is my perfect mistake." ********* Anabelle Marie Thompson is just your typical average teenager, except she studies hard and values books more than TV. She's just trying to get through her Senior year, so she can graduate with high honors and go to her dream school, Stanford, to become a lawyer. One night, instead of reading her favorite book, her friend Lianne Young, drags her to Sean Walker's party (aka the hottest guy in the whole school). One thing lead to another and she ends up having a quickie with Sean Walker. Little did Anabelle know that her life was about to change forever...
