Wrapping her arms around her waste was something she did regularly, but today she seemed to be holding herself tighter than before; something she did when she felt unsafe. Marla couldn't understand why she had stopped in her tracks just moments before reaching the steps to the clinic. She had already made up her mind, prepared herself for the worst, and created her alibi for why she would be late from school.
As she stood in the snow she thought back to what Christopher had told her. "This is the right thing to do. We wouldn't be able to take care of it anyway. It would ruin our lives, make our parents hate us, and eventually we would hate each other." She had to believe him. She loved him. The snow wasn't what made her shake, though. Her heart beat faster, and her face was white. She took in a deep sigh and climbed the steps to the abortion clinic. She had no choice. When she reached the door, she said out loud "I'm sorry, baby." She took the handle and walked inside.

Sooo...now what happens?
Dear Anonymous,
I can not exactly tell you what will happen; whether she will or won't have the abortion. However, I can tell you that this story is for the purpose of conviction; to help the reader see how tragic something like this can be. Until later,
