This Is My Confession
A Gilmore Girls melodrama

So, this is my confession. This is me wiping the slate. This is me coming clean.
Alright, enough with the idioms.
Let's get right to the point, shall we?
When I was sixteen, I got pregnant. We all know that. But it wasn't the first or last time the stick turned pink. And now I sound like the sluttiest of sluts, but I swear, that wasn't the case.
The first time I got pregnant wasn't my fault. I know, "it takes two to tango", but this wasn't the tango. The tango is honest, romantic, and at best- enjoyed by both who are partaking. I was raped. Date raped. Cue several verses of the Sublime song. Right on.
I was fourteen, I drank too much, and I got what was coming to me. If the rape wasn't traumatic enough, finding out I was pregnant had me falling apart. Abortions were nowhere near as accessible then as they are now. So that was out. I resigned myself to running away, having the baby, and giving it up for adoption. I was eleven weeks pregnant and just starting to show when I lost the baby. I was relieved if nothing else, but I've spent a lot of time thinking and imagining what my life and the baby's life would've been like had I not miscarried.

That's chapter one. It should be evident that Lorelai is narrating this. Sorry this is so short, but I wanted to split the chapters, and not have just one long one. Please review!
