Chapter one

*Grace*

I lay in bed waiting for Sam. My parents banned me from seeing him, but I needed him. I snuck over to his house. And I wasn't planning on going back to mine for a while.

He quietly walked in and I turned around.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" He asked.

"No. I was waiting for you."

He climbed in and put his arms around me, pulling me close. I hesitated on whether i should tell him or not.

"Sam. I have to tell you something. It's important."

"Ok. What is it? Are you ok?" He asked softly.

"Sam," my voice wavered, afraid of telling him. "Sam… I'm-I'm pregnant."

*Sam*

Her voice replayed in my head, over and over.

"I'm pregnant." "I'm pregnant." "I'm pregnant."

After I didn't say anything, she spoke.

"I know I should've told you sooner, and that this isn't a really good time, but… Sam? Are you awake?" I had closed my eyes.

I opened them quickly, as if I had just woken up from a nightmare.

It was silent. I wasn't exactly sure what to say.

Then I heard soft sobbing.

"Grace? No, Grace don't cry. Please don't cry." I rubbed her back, and pulled even closer to me.

"Are you mad?" She asked, sniffling.

I shook my head. "No, of course not. I would never be mad at you."

It was quiet again. It seemed like we both were afraid to say something.

Then again, Grace broke the silence.

"What are we gonna do?"

I thought for a moment. She was right. We were both so young. I was turning 19 soon, and she was turning 18 in four months.

What were we gonna do?
