I stare at the pregnancy test in fear. Watching as slowly the line doubles indicating I was in deed

pregnant.

Wanting it to be wrong, I take another but it shows the same thing. I was pregnant with Rowan’s

baby.

Life these past few months have been hell. I became the pariah not only in both families, but also

in school. Everybody knows what happened between me and Rowan, but nobody believes me

when I tell them that I was drunk.

All the blame was placed on my shoulder because I was the slut that seduced my sister’s

boyfriend when he was drunk.

In school I’m bullied and in town I’m shunned.

My mother and father rarely talk to me nowadays. Emma cut me off completely, saying I was dead

to her. As for Travis, well it’s like I no longer exist in his eyes. I haven’t seen or talked to Rowan

since that night.

My heart has broken over and over these past few weeks. With no reprieve for the constant pain.

and rejection. If I had thought life was bad before, it was now a hundred times worse.

I felt all alone and now I was pregnant. Would they ask me to abort the baby? I wouldn’t put it past

them. They were still trying to get Rowan and Emma back together after Emma broke up with

him.

Looking at my room, I make a quick decision. I couldn’t stay here anymore. It wasn’t healthy for me or my baby. I place my hand on the belly, promising to give him or her all the love that was

denied to me.

Of course I wasn’t invited, they didn’t want me anywhere near Rowan. Hell, neither of them wanted to see my face. They all
