I was only 18 when I first found out that I was pregnant. At first, I denied myself that I was pregnant, and didn't take the test.
My roommate thought I was. She bought me a test, and I was forced to find out the truth.
Boy, was I scared.
My boyfriend came to my room to comfort me. Me and my boyfriend didn't even think about keeping the baby. Our minds went straight to abortion. If our parents found out, they were sure to kill us both. We both kept it to ourselves.
We went to a woman's clinic, and set for abortion. I was two months and three days. I went ahead and got an abortion.
I had heard stories from other people that it was going to hurt, emotionally, and I told myself that I could handle it.
Boy, was I wrong.
I went home and my boyfriend told me to rest and not think about it. It never happened.
Well, it did happen.
It is hard for me to sleep, and all I can think about is the baby. Most nights, I cry myself to sleep.
Every night, I ask for God's forgiveness and, if I could do all over, I would do the right thing.
