Chapter 14
"See Ruthie, everything will be OK." Annie said.
"No, mom, it won't. I don't want to have this baby. It wasn't my choice to be.. raped and it's not my choice to get pregnant. But it should be my choice to have this baby." Ruthie said.
"Well honey. I'm sorry but your mother and I don't believe in abortion. That's final. Now go upstairs." Eric said. Ruthie ran upstairs, crying.
She was on her way to her bedroom when she bumped in to Simon.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I'm pregnant and mom's making me have the baby." she started to cry harder and ran up the stairs. Simon followed. He still looked kind of shocked .
"Your pregnant" He replied quietly, it was more a statement then a question, though. Ruthie nodded.
"And I don't want to have the baby. I'm too young for a child. I can barely take care of me, I can't take care of a child. And I could die giving birth. It would ruin my life, and besides, baby's are supposed to come into loving family's. but theirs just me. No dad. And I'm too young. I really don't want to have a baby."
Simon looked at her. "You don't have too keep it. They have places you can drop it off, no questions asked. The people are- well you can drop it off"
"the thing you don't talk about?? You dropped of a baby? Who's? Yours??" Ruthie asked.
"never mind and don't mention it ever again to anyone, promise?" Simon answered.
"I promise." Ruthie replied.
"It's not mine though. So anyway, there are other options, you don't have to keep it." Simon said.
"I know, but I don't want to have it. I could die having it. But mom and dad don't believe in abortion. Life sucks" Ruthie replied.
"I know. I'm going to bed now, please don't hurt yourself." Simon said.
"I don't want to Simon, I really don't but I can't help it, I need to." Ruthie replied.
Simon nodded "please try" he said. He started to leave.
"Simon?" Ruthie said.
"yeah?" he answered.
"I need help." she replied.
" I know" he said then he walked out.
