*You are Sakura Chen

You mumble swears as you stumble out of bed.

"Shit!" You almost fall over a pile of clothes on your floor. "Ow! Fuck!" You yell as you bang your foot on your bedroom door.

"Stop swearing!"

"I'm sixteen! I can do whatever I want!"

"Yeah, your sixteen, two years off eighteen so I'm still in charge of you."

"Well next week I'll only be one year off."

"You'll only be seventeen though. Still not eighteen."

"Ugh! Whatever! I'm going round to Matt's house tonight."

"Ok but take your phone."

"Fine."

"And remember to take your key."

"I'm going for like two hours! I won't need my key!"

"Just take it."

"I bet next you'll want me to take something else."

"No… Just your phone and key."

You quickly make yourself breakfast, get ready and head outside where you meet your best friend.

"Hey, Sakura!" You get into the passenger seat

"Hey, Jen."

"Have you told your mom yet?"

"Told her what?"

"You know, that your…" You quickly cover her mouth with your hand.

"Sh! She has the ears of a hawk!"

"Oh. Sorry!"

"And no I haven't yet told her."

"You've got to tell her soon!"

"I know. It just never seems to be the right time and knowing her she'll just freak out." You rest your head on your palm and your elbow on the side of the car door.

"So when are you going to tell her?"

"Tonight, after I told Matt."

"Still can't believe it!"

"Neither can I. Neither can I." You bite your lower lip.

*You are Amy Chen

It's quarter past nine at night. Your still up wondering where Sakura is. You hear the noise of the door unlocking. Sakura walks in, her cheeks have tear marks all over and her mascara has been running.

"Mom. There's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Promise you won't get too mad."

"Sakura… Tell me!"

"I… I…" She takes a deep breath "I'm pregnant."

"What? Please tell me your joking."

"Nope."

"Oh my God! How could you be so stupid!"

"Oh like you've never made a single mistake!"

"Well I didn't get pregnant at the age of sixteen!"

"I can tell that!"

"What are you going to do about school?"

"I don't know! It'll all just come together."

"No it won't! Your entire life will change!"

"I know my life will change! What's your point?"

"My point is that your only sixteen! Your not meant to be having children!"

"So what! Just because I'm not thirty doesn't mean I won't be good!"

"You basically throwing your future away!"

"I don't care!"

"Your not ready to be a mom! You and your boyfriend will just break up when you get to six months!"

"Well at least my kid will know it's dad!"

"Don't you dare!"

"I bet you didn't even know my dad! I bet I was just a one night stand gone wrong!"

"That's not true!"

"Then why isn't my dad here? Hm? And you think I'm a slut!"

"I never said you were a slut!"

"I know you were thinking I was though!"

"No I wasn't!"

"You never knew my dad! I bet that doll you got for me when I was three was just a cover up! And when you said he went off to war!"

"That was no cover up!"

"Whatever! I'm done!" She storms out of the apartment slamming the door. You lean against the wall and cry.

* You are Sakura Chen

Your sat in an ally next to a tall apartment block. You wipe away the tears that slowly fall down your cheek. You don't regret what happened that one night, you just wished you were older or your mom didn't yell at you as much. But could you really blame her? It was your fault after all. You were so careful but it just seemed to go wrong. You remember when you took the tests. They were all positive, all five of them. You look up to the sky as raindrops fall on you. A car pulls up and you hear a familiar voice.

"Sakura? What are you doing out here? Do you know how late it is?"

"Uncle Ken!" You smile for the first time that night.

"Get in. I'll take you home."

"Ok." You open the passenger side door and get in the car

"So why were you even there in the first place."

"It's a long story…"

"It's an hour ride back. We've got plenty of time." You look at the clock on the dash board. It's past midnight.

"I told my mom that I was pregnant."

"What? How could you."

"Stop." You interrupt him mid sentence. "That's what got me out here in the first place."

"Was that it?"

"No… Some hurtful stuff was said."

"What?""I called her a slut because I was just some one night stand gone wrong."

"You really think that's the truth?""Well… There's no other explanation and I refuse to believe that my dad was in the army!"

"That's the truth though, Sakura."

"Oh my God! I'm so sick of hearing the same story over and over again!"

"Now you listen here. I know this time is probably tough on you but that is no story! It did happen and I remember it all! Your mom and dad got engaged and then your mom found out she was having you. Her and your father gave up their wedding in case you came early. They were going to get married when you were one but your grandfather on you dads side didn't want them to until your dad spent two years in the army. He died two weeks before he was supposed to come home. Your mom was so distraught. I remember seeing her crying over his grave."

"I guess I have to say I'm sorry now, don't I?"

"I think you do."

"I hate apologising!"

"We all do Sakura. It's just one of those things."

Silence strikes for a few minutes.

"Uncle Ken?"

"Yeah?""Do you think what I did was stupid."

"Yes. Very but you'll be ok. Every life has it's ups and downs but that's just life. You nearly always play hard. Especially when it comes to love."

"Life's already hard."

"It'll get easier. Not for a long time though."

"Not for a few years." You take a deep sigh.

"Were here." You lookout the window and see your apartment building. "Do you want me to come with?"

"No… I'll be alright."

You exit the car and enter the apartment building. You walk up to your apartment door and knock on it. You mom calls out

"Who's there?" You can already hear that she has been crying.

"A very sorry and stupid daughter." She opens the door and you hug her and start crying again. "I'm really sorry for everything. I'm sorry for being such a brat. I'm sorry for calling you a slut and I'm sorry for everything I've done wrong." Your mom holds you away and looks into your eyes.

"I'm not going to start apologising but I will be here for you. I just wish you would have been a bit more sensible!"

"Thank you."
