I was inspired to write this after watching the MIOBI finale. One-shot.

Payson, Lauren, Kaylie, and Kelly held up their flowers, their faces shining with pure glee. They laughed and smiled at each other, the feeling of victory flowing through their veins. They had done it; they had beaten the unbeatable China and Russia. They had made the comeback of the decade.
Emily through the remote across the room, and buried her face in Damon's shoulder. He rubbed her back lightly, whispering comforting words to his girlfriend. Emily pushed him away for a moment, and said, "Shut up Damon!"
He raised an eyebrow at her, and said, "Come on Em, watching this isn't helping you at all. You have to forget about that stuff."
She glared at him, tearing up, and said, "I can't! That was my dream! I gave up everything to be where my best friends are! And now I'm stuck with this!"
Emily pointed angrily to her barely-pregnant belly.
Her anger turned into chest-racking sobs, as the camera zoomed in on Payson's face, before zooming out again.
Damon drew her into a hug, and said, "Shh, Em. Please don't cry anymore."
Emily sniffled for a few more moments, and wiped her eyes a little, before looking at him, gravely. She spoke, "No. I'm done with this."
Damon's eyes widened, as she stood up, reaching for her car keys. He spoke quickly, as she gathered up her things. "Em, what are you doing?"
Emily's head snapped towards him, and spoke. "I'm moving on from this." She turned away, and Damon stood up. "Em, wait! What are doing? Don't go!"
As Emily opened the door, she looked back at him once again, and said, "I'm ending this."
She closed the door behind her.
Twelve hours passed, and Damon paced back and forth, nervous. Emily wasn't answering his calls. She wasn't with her mother, she wasn't around town.
The door opened. Emily walked through, looking rather worn. Damon looked at the girl he loved, and sighed with relief. He spoke, cautiously, and asked, "What happened? Where did you go?"
"I ended it," was Emily's grim answer. Damon drew her into a hug as she walked over, and then asked, "What does that mean? What did you do?"
Emily slipped out of his hug, and pulled up her shirt, to reveal her flat stomach. She pointed to her flat stomach, and said
"I took the RU486"
