"Manuella," said her mother, "Sit down."
Manny sat on the couch and the lady in the buisness suit started talking, "My name's Mrs. Porter and your parents called me
up yesterday afternoon and asked to schedual an appointment with me."
"Why what do you do?" asked Manny.
"I am with a service that helps support teens who are in trouble," said Mrs. Porter
Manny didn't like Mrs. Porter. She had silver hair that was up in a tight bun and a green uniform on. Her lips were tightly shut.
"I'm not in trouble though," said Manny.
"You are a pregnant!" shouted Mrs. Porter, "That's a horrible thing for a teenager to be."
"I didn't do it alone you know! I had some help!" She said while glaring at Craig who gulped.
Craig turned to Joey, "You're not sending me away are you?"
"I didn't plan on it," said Joey, "Mr. and Mrs. Santos just called me up 10 minutes ago and said to come over."
"What! You're sending me away!" screamed Manny, "You can't! Mom, I thought you were being supportive!"
"This is your father's decision, sweetheart," her mom said, "I'm sorry."
The police officer spoke up, "I've looked into this program with many other officers and it is 100% safe."
"I don't fucking care about how safe it is!" screamed Manny, "I don't fucking want to go at all!"
"Manuella watch you're language!" yelled her dad.
"When you reach the school you will be assigned a room to stay in. You will have another room mate who is also pregnant,"
said Mrs. Porterm, "In the morning you will have regular school subject classes and in the afternoon you will have parenting
and pregnancy classes."
"I don't care!" shouted Manny, "I'm not going!"
"What does this have to do with me?" asked Craig.
"I think you will do well in the program too," said Mrs. Porter.
"I think you would do well if you stayed out of my life!" Craig shouted back at her.
"Craig don't be so rude," said Joey but then he turned to Mrs. Porter, "I can't speak for Manny but I am not sending my step
son away to this school."
"Thank you," Craig said sarcastically.
"Great," said Manny, "So I'm getting shipped off to some wacko school while Craig gets to sit around and so nothing."
"I'll visit you once in a while and I'll be there for the labor," said Craig.
"You know what, none of this arguing matters because I made up my mind!" screamed Manny.
"About what?" asked her brother.
"I'm having an abortion!" shouted Manny.
The room went silent and no one said a word. Then her father spoke up.
"If you have an abortion," her father said, "You will be let go from this family."
"So let it be that way," said Manny.
She looked around the room at everyones faces. Her mother was crying very hard, her dad looked like he would blow up from
anger, David looked like he was thinking about something that didn't even have to do with Manny, Craig looked shock, Joey
looked curious like he wanted to know why Manny chose this option.
"Well if she does have an abortion there is another program in our school to help teenagers with the emotional side affects of
an abortion," said Mrs. Porter.
"I don't care about your stupid school!" yelled Manny.
"Manny," said Craig, "Do I get a say in this?"
"No," said Manny.
"But I'm the father of the baby," said Craig.
"I know but I can't," said Manny, "I just...well...I just can't!"
Manny ran. She didn't know where she was going. She closed her eyes and felt so free. Like she had no troubles. She saw
Emma's house and decided to go there.
She ran the doorbell and Emma opened it.
"Hey Manny," she said, "What brings you here?"
"Is your mom home?" she asked.
"Yeah but she's sleeping," said Emma, "She's taking a break from Jack."
Emma and Manny both laughed at that.
"Well maybe I can help you," Emma said still laughing a little, "What's the matter?"
"My parents want to send me away to a special school that will help me through my pregnancy," said Manny.
"What!" shouted Emma, "They can't!"
"I know!", shouted Manny, "It's horrible and I want to get a say in it but they won't let me!" screamed Manny.
"This sucks!" yelled Emma, "They can't do this! You can't let them!"
"I know!" screamed Manny, "And Craig's not going! I need the father!"
"Look I'll come up with a plan don't worry," said Emma.
"Emma I'll need somewhere to stay because..." Manny started.
"I've got it you can stay at my house. And then you will have your baby and they will play with Jack all day while we go to
school and my mom can watch both of them during the day," said Emma.
"But Emma I..." Manny tried to say.
"No Manny stop," said Emma, "It's perfect. It couldn't be better if I wanted it to be."
"Yeah," said Manny, "It's perfect."
*So Manny doesn't have the courage to tell Emma she wants an abortion. Review please!!!!!!*
