-"HE'S OUT TO GET ME!! HE KNOWS I'M ALONE!" Annie sat up and looked around. There was a doctor there standing over her. He seemed like a fairly nice guy so Annie fell back on her hospital bed and began to rub her forehead.
-"Don't worry about a thing, no one is going to get you. I can gaurentee that you'll be fine. I just need you to explain to me every thing that you remember, like who scared you, why you were alone, why you passed out." Annie sat up again.
-"Well, you see, I kinda have this problem."
-"What sort of problem?"
-"I can't be too afraid of anything. Because if I get too scared, then I throw up or pass out. But if it gets too bad, i can go in a major melt down and instantly die." Annie began to tremble at the thought. She always did.
-"Well, Annie, would you like the good news or the bad news first?" The doctor acted like the bad news would be nothing worse then her favorate TV show being cancled, but it was worse. Much, much worse.
-"Bad news." Annie said, pretending that she could handle it. The doctor shifted uneasily.
-"Well..." He hesitated again. "You've been raped." He emeadiatilly looked a way from her eyes, he didn't want to see her reaction.
-"WHAT?!" Annie broke down into tears and the doctor wrapped his arms around her, reassuring her that it would be all right. He explaned to her that the pregnancy test results hadn't come in yet but he'd tell her as soon as he found out, and with that, he left to get her some food. But how on earth could she eat? She was raped for hell's sake, and she didn't even know if she was pregnant or not. And if she was, she'd have no clue who the father was.
-"Jesus Christ, Mary and Joseph, Lord Almighty, will you just kill me now!?!" Annie stared out the window at the little children in thier costumes running around from house to house and she studied over all the cool Halloween decorations and laughed at the kids that were fighting over a caramel apple. She had learned to enjoy others people's happiness, since she didn't have mush of her own. She liked watching other people be happy, especially the people she lived with. With the sound of a syren near by, Annie was brought back to her troubling thoughts. She once again began to shiver at the thought of being a mother.
Abortion was not on option. She refused to kill, but there's no way in hell that she could afford to keep it. It seemed as though adoption was the only resolution-but wait a minute. She hasn't even found is she's pregnant or not, but she figured that it was better to know what to do if she did have a baby. Annie was shaken from her deep thoughts by a shuffel of feet and five hard bangs on the hospital room door.
-"Uh, who-who-is it?" Annie said weakly. With all that was on her mind, she had almost forgotten how to speak.
-"It's Jack, Annie, unlock the door." Came a muffled voice from the other side of the door. Annie got up and walked over to the door, but instead of opening it she put her ear to it.
-"Why sould I let you in? Give me one goot reason." She never wanted to see him again.
-"I have the results-" Before he could finish Annie threw open the door and yanked him, Clu, and Carey into the room and shut the door and locked again. Without a word she ripped the resluts out of Jack's hand. Slowly she read over and over. Positive, positive +. She looked up at the three boys in shock as the realization sturck them.
-"Oh, Annie, I'm so sorry-" Carry was cut off by Annie who was in a crying rage.
-"Sorry for what Carey Bell? Sorry's not gonna cut it, thanks to you I was left all alone on Halloween and NOW I'M PREGNANT!! If you three jerks would take a second to notice that maybe I had feelings for you, maybe I love you and I want to be a part of your family, but you abviously can't handle somone caring for you as much as I do. Don't you see? I threw up because I was scared. I'm physisally unable to handle fear, if I get too scared I will die! I almost died back there, but you know what? I wish i had died in your font yard, bucause now I have to go through nine months of HELL just to give up my baby. So it can live in an orhanage and watch other kids go home with their new families and hate me because I gave it up!" Annie was sobbing and choking as she crawled under her bed and hugged her knees.
-"Hey, hey, Annie, shh calm down. Please just calm down." Jack crawled under the bed and began to rock Annie in his arms, whispering comforthin things into her ear. They sat there in silence for a few minutes before Annie fell asleep in Jack's arms. She dozed off with one last comforting thought Jack had promesed to be the father of her child.
