A month has past since Casey found out I was pregnant, and I'm surprised that she hasn't kicked me out like she said she would. We've been kind of distant lately, but I guess I can only blame myself for that.

And since I'm pregnant, I am prone to the morning sickness. It's really gross since I hate puking.

This is sort of off-topic, but there's this note card about me having an appointment. Except I'm not really sure what this appointment is about...wait a minute. I'm 10 weeks pregnant and I still have 2 more weeks until I can't get an abortion...

I decided that Casey is a cold hearted bitch.

Casey walked through the door and put her stuff down on the couch. Then she realized that she needed to talk to Danielle about the appointment on Monday. She walked into the hallway and knocked on Danielle's door.

"Danielle?

Casey opened the door to find her sister standing up and looking angry.

"We need to talk."

"Oh, did you forget to give me one of my Christmas gifts a month late?" Danielle snapped.

"I guess you already know what this appointment is about."

"Yes, and it's none of your god damn business. This is my child, and I'm keeping it."

"Danielle, that's only going to happen over my dead body! You're 17!"

"I don't care!" Danielle yelled "This isn't your choice to make!"

"Except I'm your guardian..."

"And yet I'm old enough to make my own decisions, stupid. I'm 17, I'm pretty sure that I can make this choice."

"And yet you're about to make a big mistake!"Casey yelled.

"You're your own hypocrite, Casey" Danielle spat as she started walking around the room "You go in that courtroom, telling the jury that killing a kid, or even a fetus, is wrong. And yet you're turning your own words around and telling me I have to get an abortion..."

"I am not a hypocrite! And also, you have no idea what you're going into..."

"And like you do?"

"I raised you since mom died when dad couldn't" Casey said as she lowered her voice "I was the one changing your diaper, feeding you, and making sure that you were cared for! Not to mention that I've been your guardian for almost a year, so don't even tell me that I don't know anything, because I do!"

Danielle stopped walking around her bedroom and stopped in her tracks. She looked at Casey and realized that she was right. Casey was the one that cared for her until she left for college. She sat down on her bed and started crying.

"I'm sorry Casey...I guess you're right."

When she saw her sister crying, she realized that she made the mistake of yelling at her. Casey walked over and sat down next to her sister.

"Look, I didn't mean to yell at you like I did..."

"And I didn't mean to be such a party girl."

"I didn't say you were…"

"Yes you did!" Danielle cried as she suddenly stood up "Think about this, Casey! You were mad at me because I was hanging out with the wrong crowd, but do you really think I would do something as stupid as getting myself pregnant? No, I was raped!"

Danielle couldn't say anymore as she cried and ran out of the room. Casey followed her, and when she was about to grab Danielle by the arm, she tripped. Luckily, Casey grabbed her sister and saved her from her fall. Danielle turned around and looked at her sister as Casey put both of her hands on her sister's shoulders.

"You were raped? Danielle, why didn't you tell me?"

Danielle didn't want to say anything. She wanted to become mute and run away.

"I didn't tell you because I didn't think that you would believe me."

"I'm sure that I could believe you. You know that I work with the Special Victims Unit" Casey said quietly "I wish you told me; then I wouldn't have been so cruel to you for the past month. Come on, let's go."

"Where are we going?" Danielle asked.

"Where do you think we're going?"
