If Amy had Gotten the Abortion

by AnnaRosas

This is a story about what would've happened if Amy had gone through with the abortion and never had John. Not trying to offend anyone, just trying to offer a different view. I do not own anything (I wish).

3. Texting Ben

I woke up with a migraine and a pulsing pounding pain down below. It was 3:56 in the morning. Luckily I was already excused from school today, but I doubted I could sleep well with the ache in my womb. It was like I was having a super period, because of all the cramping. I reached for the bottle next to my bed and swallowed some ibuprofen. After 15 minutes of pain it finally started to dissipate a little. I reached for my phone and texted Ben. ''I love you. I'm sorry for everything I put you through." A few minutes later. Buzz.

Ben 4:22

Early riser catches the worm. I love you too. You don't have to apologize, Ricky kissed you. You didn't kiss him. Plus you got a good swing in before I attacked him.

This made me smile. Ben still loved me. Everything would be alright. People at school would think that it was just a rumor, I'd go to Julliard, and then one day when I'm not 15 and pregnant I'd marry Ben. I texted him, "Ben, you know how you said that proposal is good for a lifetime? I accept, but I want to wait until I'm older, until we're older. I want it to start off right because I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,"

A few minutes later my phone rang with a call. Ben?

Ben: Hello Amy!

He sounded really excited.

Me: Ben?

Ben: Amy Jergens, I love you. You're right, we might be a little young. One day after we're older we'll get married and start a family. And we'll make it, because I love you Amy Jergens.

By this point I was crying. After Ricky, and lying, and after the abortion Ben still loved me.

Me: Me too.

It was silent for a few minutes as I wiped away my tears and thought of my future with Ben. I felt a pang of ache for the baby I'd never get to know, but I was happy that at least I'd have more children, later. When I was older and with Ben.

Ben: Have you decided what you're going to tell your mom?

Me: No. I have an appointment tomorrow with her OBGYN so I have to figure something out, wanna talk about it when you get home from school?

Ben: Sure. We'll figure it out. I love you.

Me: Me too.

The pain in my abdomen finally faded to a dull throb, and I was able to go to sleep.
