Liberty's in front of the Unplanned Pregnancy Clinic, she looks like she's going to cry.
"I wish we could have been a family, JT," she whispers to no one. "I thought about if, but you cheated on me."
A tear slides down her face, but she hastily wipes it away. She stands there for a moment, studying the building, then sighs and walks in.
Theme song"What it's Like"
Ellie shows up at school and goes to face Ashley.
"Ashley," she says. She's ignored. "We thought you'd broken up with him. He was crushed, I was sad, it just happened. I'm sorry. Really, if I thought you would be coming back I wouldn't have even kissed him."
"That's not it," Ashley says.
"Well what is?" Ellie demands.
"It's the fact that you hooked up with my boyfriend the first chance you got," she explains.
"I'm sorry," says Ellie, "I didn't plan it."
Ashley snorts. "Please, I could see you looking at him every now and then."
"He is attractive!" Ellie says. "You expect girls not to look just because he's yours?"
"You were always jealous of us!" she yells. "Ever since Sean left, you've been so lonely, you were just awaiting the perfect time to get a guy! Preferably my boyfriend!"
"You were never lonely?" Ellie says as more of a statement than a question. "When Craig broke your heart you were pathetic! You wouldn't even get out of bed!"
"At least I was in my bed alone!" Ashley screams.
"Don't you throw that at me!" Ellie warns. "That was a mistake! I wish I had never done that or gotten pregnant, but there's nothing I can do about it now!"
"You could kill it like the other school slut!" Ashley says.
"One, I'm not a slut, and neither is Manny. Two, I would never do that," Ellie says. "However, I guess that wouldn't matter to you. You're just upset that your boyfriend would so easily be able to hook up with others. He doesn't love you."
Ashley slaps Ellie, then Ellie punches her. They began to fight, then all of a sudden, Ellie grabs her stomach and moans. She falls to the ground. Ashley's eyes get wide then she runs out of there and calls an ambulance.

"Libby," JT says and runs over to her.
"I don't want to see you, JT," she sniffles.
"Oh, come on," he says, "it was just a little mistake."
"What was?" she asks. "Manny or me?"
"Well, Manny," JT says.
"That mistake cost you your girlfriend," Liberty says.
"I didn't mean it," JT argues.
"What?" Liberty asks. "The sex or to break my heart?"
"To break your heart," JT says.
"So the sex was fine, as long as I didn't find out?" Liberty turns on him.
"No!" JT exclaims. "I didn't mean to do that either!"
:"Did she rape you, JT?" Liberty asks.
"Well, no," JT admits.
"Then, how did you not mean to?" Liberty asks.
"I didn't mean it," JT asks, hopefully.
"Did you not mean it to me?" she demands.
"Of course!" JT exclaims. "I love you Libby."
"And I thought I loved you," she states.
Liberty starts to walk away, but JT turns her around to face him.
"Look, I'm sorry," he apologizes. "You can walk away or whatever, but I still have a right to the baby."
"Not if it's dead," Liberty says.
"Is it?" JT asks.
Liberty nods.
"Oh, Liberty," JT coos. "You miscarried?"
"No, JT" Liberty says. "I killed it."
"You, you had an," JT starts.
"Abortion," Liberty finishes.
"What?" JT asks, getting angry.
"You heard me," Liberty says.
"You didn't even tell me!" JT exclaims.
"It's not like you wanted it anyway!" Liberty fights back.
"How did you know that, huh? How were you so sure?" JT asks.
"I just was!" Liberty says, eyes watering.
"Well, you know what?" JT asks. "I did want it, but you didn't even give me a chance to be in its life! You just went and had the abortion without even telling me!"
"I'm sorry," Liberty attempts.
"You made a worse mistake than me even!" JT exclaims. "You didn't even talk to me about it!"
"I was scared and heartbroken!" Liberty argues. "But, if you want a baby so badly, why don't you just visit your little girlfriend Manuela? She's pregnant you know!"
"Maybe I will," JT says, then walks away.
Scene change
JT finds Manny eating alone, he goes and sits next to her.
"Hey," JT says.
"Hey," Manny echoes.
"Liberty told me," he says.
"Told you what?" she asks.
"That you're pregnant," he replies.
Manny bursts out into tears.
"Did you kill it, too?" he asks, Manny just cries harder.
"Why is everyone just killing my babies?" he asks, angry.
"Liberty had an abortion?" Manny asks.
"Yeah, without even telling me!" JT exclaims.
"I wish she'd talked to me first," Manny says.
"Why so you two could have gone together?" JT demands.
"No, so I could have talked to her," Manny says.
"What?" JT asks.
"I'm not pregnant, JT," Manny says.
"As a matter of fact, I can't even," Manny starts.
"Can't even do what?" JT asks.
"Can't even have babies anymore," Manny says.
"What?" JT asks.
Manny starts sobbing again, and JT puts his arm around her. After a little bit, they kiss. At that precise moment, Liberty turns the corner and sees them. She runs away in tears.
Scene change
It's the next day and Ellie's sitting on the front steps of Degrassi. Craig sits down next to her, she just continues to read her book.
"Ellie?" he says.
Silence.
"Come on, Ellie," he says. "I'm sorry."
Ellie looks up. "It's okay."
"No it's not," Craig argues.
"I'm not going to be with Ashley," Craig says. "I'm going to be there for you and our baby."
Ellie tears up; "You don't have to."
"Of course I do," says Craig.
"I'm not going to have it," she chokes out.
"You didn't," Craig starts.
"I miscarried," she sobs.

A/N Aright, I hoped you liked it. I also hope that it was realistic and dramatic. Please review.
