"Are you done in there yet Joey? Bessie asked
Joey walked out of the bathroom with tears streaming down her face. She held the stick up which showed it was blue.
"Oh Joey" Bessie said somberly she reached out and embraced Joey in a hug.
"What am I going to do now Bess? My life is over."
"Joey you have options"
"Bessie I don't think I could give my own child up for adoption and abortion, forget about it there is no way that I could do that."
"So you're just going to give up on Worthington?"
"I don't know Bess I need to talk to my boyfriend he needs to be involved in the decision too."
"Just try and think about yourself and your future when you make your decision."
"Bess right now I just need to be alone to think."
With that said she walked out of her house. Her head was reeling from the information she just learned. She never thought about having a child at least not until she had a stable career. Now her whole world would be changed. There was no way she could abort the pregnancy. The only choices where to keep the child or give it up for adoption. "How am I suppose to give my child up" she thought to herself. There was no way she could make this decision herself. However her boyfriend was gone for the weekend and she would have to wait until he came home.
"Joey" the voice interrupted her thoughts. She turned around and saw Jen walking towards her. Somehow she had ended up on the dock by Leery's Fresh Fish. Jen must have seen her from the restaurant.
"Jen hi" Joey said trying not to make it obvious that she was upset.
"Where were you just now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well you look really upset and like you're a million miles away."
"Oh I'm just a little pre-occupied" she told her friend hoping to satisfy her curiosity.
"Care to elaborate?"
"Jen I'd rather not if you don't mind I'd rather be alone"
"Joey sorry but you're not getting off that easy. You're my friend and you're upset therefore I am here to listen."
"Jen I appreciate it I really do but before I talk to anyone else about this little problem I am having I really need to talk to Pacey first."
"Oh my god, Joey are you pregnant?"
With out a word Joey just put her face in her hands and started to cry, and Jen embraces her.
"Oh Joey I am so sorry."
"Jen what am I suppose to do now?"
"Joey, Pacey loves you and when he gets back he'll help you make the right decision."
"What if he wants me to abort the baby? I can't do that I could never do something like that."
"It will be okay Pacey would never make you do something you didn't want to"
"Jen thanks for talking to me but I think I should get home now I really need to get some rest."
"Jo just do me one favor and try and relax I mean you can't do much until Pacey gets home so try not to think about it too much."
"I'll try" she said sarcastically
