PAST
I couldn't stop my leg from shaking.
Across from me a girl sat crying, all alone as she filled out paperwork on the clipboard.
That could've been me.
All alone with no one to talk to about this- if there even was a this to talk about.
After I told Hannah about me thinking I was pregnant, she insisted we skip school the next day to go to the doctors office to confirm or deny it.
Ever since I got together with Jeff, I didn't keep one thing from him. There have never been secrets between us and yet this one thing I so desperately wanted to share with him, I felt like I couldn't.
Once Hannah managed to calm me down last night, she insisted I sleep it off but I couldn't exactly go to sleep when Jeff called me excited about all the university opportunities he got.
His words rang in my mind even today.
'I'm going to have my best life in college- whichever one we decide to go to. Nothing could ruin this for us.'
All I could think of was, well, there might be something.
Or rather someone.
There was never a doubt in my mind that I wanted a family when I grew up but definitely not at 16 years old with my boyfriend whose main focus- and he had every right for it to be, was college and not starting a family so young.
So would this be it for us? If the doctor confirmed I was pregnant? Would I be another statistic of a teenage single mother?
The whole thing stressed me out and I guess Hannah saw this because she placed her hand on my knee, snapping me out of my thoughts and giving me a look.
"Breathe, Anna."
"Ye-yeah... right."
"Let's talk out what you're thinking. Don't hold it in. What's up?"
"I... I just feel like if I am pregnant it'll just ruin everything Jeff and I had planned. I know him and he'll want to not go to college so he can support us but I don't want that for him."
"Well, someone's going to have to make money for the baby."
"I'll do it."
"What? Anna, what about college for you?"
"You know I never cared for that shit, Hannah."
