There was a knock at the bathroom door.
Rachel: Beth darling please come out we can sort this, I'm not mad sweetie.
There was no answer...
Rachel: Well can I come in honey?
She heard the door unlock so walked in. She saw Beth sitting curled up in the corner of the room. She went and sat beside Beth and put her arm around her.
Rachel: I don't know what to say honey... what do you want to do?
Beth: I... I want a... an abortion...
Rachel: Are you sure? You can take a bit of time to think about it...?
Beth: Aunt Rach I'm 15 years old I can't keep it.
Rachel: Well only if you're sure hun.
Beth just nodded.
Beth: Aunt Rach... can I stay here tonight?
Rachel: Course baby. I'll give your mum a call.
Rachel helped Beth up and led her to the couch in the living room.
Rachel: I'll be back in a moment dear.
Eddie was sat on the couch with Beth and she realised that he had seen the test.
Beth: Uncle Eddie...
Eddie: Yea?
Beth: I'm sorry are you disappointed..? It was an accident...
Beth began to cry again. So Eddie moved closer to her and held her tight.
Eddie: Course I'm not disappointed baby, everyone makes mistakes.
A few moments later Rachel came into the living room and Beth decided she wanted to go to bed so Rachel told her to go get a pair of Kate's pyjamas and told her she would be up to say night in a little while. 10 minutes later Rachel was knocking on the room door Beth was in.
Rachel: Hey honey, how are you feeling?
Beth: I'm okay I suppose; thank you so much... for everything.
Rachel: Don't worry about it honey we will sort it. Can I ask you something?
Beth: Yea...
Rachel: How did it happen?
Beth: Emm... the contraception didn't work...
Rachel: Yea but honey you're only 15 years old, you're too young.
Beth: I know aunt Rach and I'm so so sorry but I didn't really want to, I was kind of forced to, but I didn't say no, so...
Rachel: Honey you shouldn't have done it if you didn't want to, that shows that you know you're not ready for it, who's the father?
Beth: I know... and emm... I don't want to say... It's bad.
Rachel: Okay, but you have told me most of it so please just tell me?
Beth: It was... Craig... Craig Thomson.
Rachel: What? He's 19 Beth!
Beth: Please don't be mad...
Rachel: I'm not mad honey, I told you I wouldn't get mad, I'm just shocked. Okay huhn try to get some sleep, we'll talk more in the morning. Night night, I love you.
Beth: Night, I love you so much aunt Rach.
Rachel gave her a kiss on the cheek then left the room to let Beth get some sleep.
