[93] so take the boy to the back cover up his ears; we got some dirty little secrets we don't want him to hear
by CurtneyIsASuperher0 on July 29, 2009so i
could possibly be
maybe am
probably am
pregnant.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNN
i was in denial
missed my period by a week and a half
continued to be in denial
then, july was over in 4 days
and i still never got it
so i cried
a lot
and i shook
and i held nick
and i cried
and i worried
nick sat me down and said something that actually made a lot of sense
even if it was a bit harsh
"courtney, crying is not going to do anything. worrying about it and being fucking depressed from now on will not change the fact that you are pregnant. it will not make you get your period. we fucked up, but we're going to fix it. man up, baby. its the only thing you can do"
today, im not in denial anymore
nick is here for me, he will do anything he can to help
i know he's not going anywhere
we're not telling anyone
there's a planned parenthood 15 minutes from my house
they do free pregnancy tests for teens
eliminates the awkwardness of buying a test at cvs
where friends of mine work
or where i could easily run into a friend of my mothers or fathers
next, they'll refer me to somewhere for an abortion
i'd use the abortion pill
i'd make sure my parents weren't home, and nick was with me
i did my research
i take the first pill at the hospital or clinic
- the place planned parenthood sends me to
then, they give me a second pill to take home
i take that one 24 to 72 hours after the first
whenever is most convenient for me
and that's that
i go for a follow-up checkup a week later,
and then we pretend it never happened
in my head
in my heart
right now,
this doesn't even bother me
it should, right?
like, there's a fucking human growing inside of me
and in a few days, im taking a pill to make it pour out of my vagina
and it doesn't even bother me?
oh.
okay.
what if after its all over,
after its out of me,
i start having nightmares
or i lose it
freak out
what if theres health side affects
and i can't have children ever again?
what if my parents find out?
what if i can't afford it?
there's so much to worry about
and i'm not worried about any of it
i think i'm gunna go for the test tomorrow or friday
if its positive,
go for the first pill on monday
take the second on tuesday, when my parents are at work
and then i never speak of it again
no sex for a week, and then my life goes back to normal
i feel like maybe i'm not upset now because in my head,
i'm not pregnant
i'm still subconciously thinking that i could never get pregnant
that doesn't happen to girls in real life
it's always someone else, somewhere else
never me, never here
well, news flash!
its me, its here
its happening, and this time i cant pretend its not
welcome to the real world i guess
where consequences actually mean something
where they actually HAPPEN
wow, im so fucking naive.
shit just got real
