3 MONTHS LATER

I look at my surroundings. Why am I here? It's so…DARK. I walk around a bit trying to find any sign to where I am. I am so confused. I don't remember how I got here. I was about to yell "HELLO!?" when I saw a figure in the darkness. The figure was hooded. "HELLO?! WHO ARE YOU?!" I yelled to the figure. The figure didn't move.

"HELLO?!" I yelled, and began to walk up to the figure. I was about 2 steps in front of the figure, and then the figure took 1 step up to me. I ducked a bit to see under the figures hood. Then, suddenly, his hand flashes to my neck. He has such strong power. He pushes me against the wall by holding my neck against the wall. I choke, and try to ask why he is doing this. The words wont come out of my mouth. All of a sudden, he lets me go. But, when I try to run, he grabs my arm and whips me back against the wall.

"WHO ARE YOU? AND WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!?!" I yelled. The figure put down his hood. I tremblingly put my hand to my mouth. The figure was Jake.

"YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!! GET AWAY!! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yell at him. I try to get away, but my legs are stuck, they won't move. I am so confused, so I just scream. He suddenly grabs my head, and starts kissing me very violently. I do NOT kiss back. I squirm and try to move out of his grasp. He is too powerful. I feel his hand on my back move upward. He is obviously trying to undo my clothes. I knee him. And like before, he goes down in pain. I start running. I look back, and I don't know there is a pothole right in front of me, and I trip on it. I try to get up, but, its too late, Jake is right in front of me. He reaches into his pocket, and takes out a pistol. He aims it at me. I scream, and I hear a blast of a bullet shooting out of a gun.

I wake up screaming, with cold, sticky sweat all across my face. I look at my surroundings. I was dreaming. Thank god it was only dreaming. I get out of bed and go into the bathroom and wipe the cold, sticky sweat off of my face. I go downstairs and I get some cereal.

My bratty little sister Jessica says, "What the heck is up with all the screaming coming from your room? Its like the boogieman is out to get you. OOHH BOOGIE MAN! WOOOOOO!! SCARRRYYY..!" she says teasingly.

"Shut up you little brat." I say as I trip her.

"OW! MOM! GABBIE TRIPPED ME!" she yells to my mother.

"GABBIE JEAN! BE NICE TO YOUR SISTER!" she yells from downstairs on the computer doing her schoolwork. She is in college. Eh, I know she's a little old to be in college at 37, but I'm proud that she is working hard. I get dressed, and take a walk to Austin's house. But, I only get half way, before running into him.

"Hey Austin!" I say, and run up to him and hug him.

"Hey Gabbie! Well, I see you've gotten better." He says with a smile. I love his smile. Always have.

"Yah, I guess I have. So, what brings you around here this morning?" I say with a smile, of so happy to see him.

"Eh, I was on my way to see you. I was wondering if you wanted to go see a movie with me." He says.

"Sure! I'd love to! What movie? Not that it would matter. I'm just curious." I say.

"Um, I was hoping to go see the new Transformers2 movie." He says with a smile.

"Oh my god! I've been waiting to see that movie for forever!" I say with enthusiasm.

"Oh cool then!" he says and grabs my hand. I loved when he grabbed my hand, it has been our first hand grab since 3rd grade, when he grabbed my hand and we sat under the big willow tree and talked about how we like each other. But, that was a long time ago. I loved the warmth of his hand. I pulled him towards my block. I needed to get some money and my car. Once we got to my house, I went into my room and grabbed $20. I went back down to where Austin was waiting, and grabbed my sweatshirt and yelled "MOM! I'm going to the movies with Austin! Ok?!" She yelled back "OK!" and I grabbed my car keys on the way out. I got in the car, and I tried to get into the drivers seat, but Austin insisted that he drive. I said, "No, its ok Austin, I got it." But, he insisted again, he didn't want me to drive if my injury happens to gain on me. So, I let him drive. He drove perfectly. Not so crazy, but not too safe. Perfect. We arrived at the movie theater, and we got our movie tickets and got some popcorn and some cokes. We got into the theatre, and we sat down and the movie started. Throughout the whole movie, we held each other's hands. And once at the romance part in Transformers 2, I turned to him and smiled at him and he turned and smiled at me. We leaned towards each other and our lips touched. We had kissed! I blushed a little when we were done kissing, and then turned to watch the movie. I tightened my grip on his hand. When the movie ended, we were about to leave, but then I said, "Austin, I'm going to go to the bathroom. Be right back." I went into the bathroom. I then realized, that I have not had my menstrual cycle in a long time. (My period) I got sick suddenly and puked in the toilet. I washed myself off. I went out of the bathroom and Austin was right there waiting for me. "Austi-.." I started to say but I was about to puke again, so I ran into the bathroom again and puked. He ran behind me and lifted my hair while I puked. I was feeling better, and washed my face off.

"What's wrong Gabbie?!" Austin asked as he grabbed my hand.

"I'm…Pregnant." I said ashamed. It was from… the Jake incident. I just knew it. I was afraid of this happening. Austin's eyes got big. I'm….PREGNANT.
