Alright, I've never written ff before (only written down a few random ideas) BUT I got an idea for a story through a dream last night, and I've decided to post it because it's been stuck in my head all day and I need to get it out. This definitely isn't like anything I've read on this site, and it will be a different idea. You may hate it because of what it is...
This first part isn't JB, but trust me, starting in the next chapter, they'll show up. Please leave feedback. I need all the criticism I can get...
I’m Megan Smith, I’m 17 years old, and I’m pregnant.
I know what you’re thinking: well, she must be a slut. She’s stupid. Couldn’t she have said no? The truth is, I’m not a slut, I’m very smart, and I could have said no, but I didn’t. I was in love with a boy named David. We’d been together for a year and a half, and I we thought it was time to go to that “next level.” Because I had really obnoxious periods (I’ll spare you the details) I’ve been on birth control since I was 16.
David and I have only been together one time. After the first we kind of realized that we didn’t want to move in that direction. It was a month later when I realized that something was wrong. I was taking my pills, but my period wasn’t starting. I called the gynecologist and went in for testing. That’s when I found out I was pregnant. A senior in high school (an all girls, private high school) on birth control that’s only had sex once, and I’m pregnant.
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!?????????
I drove from the doctors to Rita’s Italian Ice. If there was anything I needed right now, it was some chocolate custard. As I sat there eating my ice cream and thinking about the circumstances I just couldn’t believe it. I was smart, a solid a/b student with tons of extracurriculars and good family life. I’d had the same boyfriend for over a year, he’s the only guy I’ve ever even kissed, and now after one time of being together I’m having his child. They really mean it when they say birth control is only 99% effective.
After a lot of thought I realized that no matter what I was going to make it through all of this. I knew the school would support me, it had happened to a few students in the past and they got it worked out. My family…well this was going to take a long time to get used to, but I knew they’d eventually be able to forgive me. David, on the other hand, was going to be tough. We’ve been drifting apart lately and I really didn’t think he was ready to be father. However, I already knew that I loved this baby and that I would do whatever it takes for it to have a full life.
I threw away my napkins, took a deep breath, and got into the car. After cranking the Jonas Brothers I headed home to talk to my mom…this was going to be a very long day.
