Adam's POV:
"I did wear a condom!" I told Brodie and Andrew.
"Are you sure?" Brodie asked.
"Yes, it's not like she's gonna get pregnant," I said.

Beth's POV:
Today was Thursday, no school today or tomorrow. Everybody was out, I was the only one home.
I was sitting on the couch watching tv. Somebody knocks on the door. I went to go open it. I opened it and saw that it was Adam. I closed the door in his face then walked back to the couch to continue watching tv.
He opened it and asked, "What the hell was that for?"
I ignored him. I sat back down and continue watching tv. He turned the tv off.
"Hey!" I yelled.
"What is wrong with you?!" I yell out.
"Damn, calm down, Beth! Are you on your period?"
I can't believe he just said that.
"My period hasn't come!" I told him.
"You never had your period before? Sorry, I don't know how that works."
"I had had it before! But.. it's late.."
I had to tell him but I didn't want to.
"What do you mean?" he asked me.
"Did you wear a condom when we.. you know..."
"Had s*x? Yeah, I did wear a condom. Why?" he said.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, it was amazing, Beth."
I looked at him and then I looked at my stomach.
"Wait.. I.. I didn't wear a condom... Fuck.. are you..-"
"Pregnant? Yes, Adam. I am," I told him.
"Shit.. um.. can you like..-"
"Get an abortion?"
He nodded.. but then he shook his head.
"What?" I asked.
"I.. I don't want you to get an abortion.. but I don't want to be involved either..." he admitted.
"Oh. Okay, because I don't believe in abortion. You.. you don't have to be involved. I can take care of it by myself.." I started crying.
He came towards me and said, "Now, you're making me feel bad for you, Beth. Don't cry." He wiped off my tears.
"I.. I don't know, Adam. How am I suppose to raise a child's life? I'm 16!"
"I mean.. I can help you..-"
The front door opened. It was Brodie.
He asked, "Why are you crying, Beth? What did you do to her, Adam?"
"I didn't do anything," Adam said.
"I'm.. I'm pregnant, Brodie.." I said to him.
"You're.. you're what?!" he exclaimed. "Adam! What the f**k! You told me that you wore a condom!"
"Well, I didn't... unfortunately.. It's my fault.."
"f**k. Beth, what are you gonna tell mom when she gets home? What are you gonna do?" Brodie said to me.
"I don't know, but I don't want to get rid of it. I really don't. I.. I gotta tell mom..."
"You're only option. She can help you, and Adam, you're gonna be a fucken dad to your kid. You did it. It's your responsibility."
I know that Adam wasn't ready to be a dad, he's a junior in highschool, 17, and don't have a job. While I'm a sophomore, 16, and I don't have a job either. I'm not ready to be a mom. I didn't expect this at all. It was.. unexpected.
