The day it all happened was supposed to be one of the happiest day of my life. My sophmore prom, my last and first prom at Sunnydale high. I had a date his name was Nick Kristoferson he was fairly new to the school and the first day he was at school I helped him find his first class. We started hanging out together more and more. Then a month before the prom with him. Of course I said yes. I went home and told Buffy. We decided that to pay for my dress she would work extra hours at the double meat palace and I would work at the magic box after school. I was so happy I felt like I was walking on clouds. That month went by quickly. I hung out with Nick as often as I could. My life for once was truly magical. I bought my dress a week before the dance. It was light pink and looked like the dress a princess would wear. It was glittery with a full skirt and a strapless top. My hair was curled and piled on top of my head. I felt like a princess. Nick arrived in a tuxedo with a pink corsage for me. We took pictures and were told to be careful and were sent on our way. We danced the night away laughing with friends. When it was time to leave we were heading near a cemetery when he pulled me into the cemetery and dragged me into one of those big tomb things and forced me to lie down on a stone coffin. The last thing I remember was him lifting up my full beautiful princess skirt. I came to in a hospital bed with a bandage on my head. I learned from a doctor that I had been raped by Nick. When I hadn't come home when I was supposed to Buffy went out looking for me. She started in the logical places in Sunnydale. The cemeteries. Somehow she started in the one we were in and found us. Apparently Buffy threw him across the room and called the police. That was three days ago. Buffy was waiting out in the hall. I told the doctor I wanted to see her and he went and got her. She cried when she got into the room and hugged me. I asked her when I could go home and she said the doctor said that I could go home tomorrow. She told me she'd be there for me that they all would. She said that Nick was arrested and was being tried for rape. He was most likely going to jail with all the evidence they had against him. Buffy told her to get some rest and that she would see me tomorrow. When she left it finally hit. I Dawn Summers had been raped. I lied there crying till I fell asleep. The next day I went home. It was awkward everybody didn't know how to act around me. I didn't mind I wouldn't know how to act around me either. The first couple weeks was just adjusting to life again. My life was full of trips to the court house and fighting of rumors at school. I was so busy that I didn't noticed that I was late. I got scared and went and told Buffy. We went to the doctors and found out that I was pregnant.
Dawn Summers started crying after she finished reading her journal. She did this every month just to make sure that it was all real. That she was pregnant and she was keeping the baby and that her baby was going to be a rape baby. After the first month she found out she was tired of every one pushing her to get an abortion or put it up for adoption. Tonight was the night she was going to tell everyone that she was keeping it no matter what. ' I think I'm going to be sick.' Dawn thought as she got up and ran for the bathroom. She had read about this somewhere heard it from her mom. This was morning sickness and it sucked. After she was done getting reacquainted with her lunch she went down stairs and called everyone into the living room. " I have decided that I am going to keep the baby.
