"So Doctor,what's wrong with me?"I sat on the chair as confidently as I had walked in. Mrs. Doubtfire winced and I felt a pang of some sort shooting down into my stomach.

She had ran some tests on me after I told her what I had been going through for the past few weeks.

I had been experiencing fever and naseau and because Google had told me I might have cancer or Parkinson's disease,I decided to check it with Mrs. Doubtfire.

"Is there something wrong with me?"I hardly recognised my own voice. I sensed fear in it and I knew she heard it too.

"Please doctor,please tell me it's not cancer,I'm only 17 and still have a great future before me,"I begged and she opened her mouth to say something,but she closed it.

"Am I dying?"I asked and she shook her head.

"No,but"-

"Then what is it!?"I was fustrated. I needed an answer. Right now!

"Listen to me,Julie. There are a lot of other options one can choose from,you can consider an adoption or an abortion if you're"-"Adoption?Abortion?Am I.....am I........,"

I sat on my bed on Sunday morning. Listening to my father as he hummed his way into the kitchen. I wanted to tell him what the doctor had told me,but I could not bring myself to do it. At least not yet since things were beginning to fall into place back home.

My phone received a text and I clicked on the screen to view it. The text was from Eric Steenkamp.

The text😍

I think I'd like to return that favour by taking you out for a date tonight

End of text

I felt as tears made their way down my face,here was a guy I liked. A guy who I have known since I turned thirteen. He and I had had a crush on each other since then and we had always known how we felt about each other, but he never really asked me out. Oh, Eric, he was A shy guy. An awkward guy whom I always adored. A guy who thought I was different from all the girls he had ever met and I had to be....to be pregnant. And the baby was not even his....

I pulled out the catalogue Mrs. Doubtfire gave to me at the hospital and back at the text. I needed to chose between the pregnancy and Eric.

Was my decision going to be the right one?
Or should I just have the abortion and not tell anyone about it instead?
