The Unexpected Change Robert and I were at the beach lying in the sand looking up at the stars and every now and then one of us would look at each other and smile. I was glad to be with him, both excited and nervous since I had to sneak out to see him. You see my parents mostly my father are the kind whom excpect too much of you. From having to be a straight "A" student all my life, the perfect daughter, and babysitter of my little brother Micheal whenever they went out, which was a lot can put a lot of stress on you. So you can understand why I would like Robert. He's nice, has a great smile, and he cares for me and doesn't care what others think. I know he may not be the richest boy in town but he does claim to love me. My father can't stand him and my mother plain out ignores him. I tried to make them get along but, I can you can tell it didn't work. My father says he's not our kind and that by going out with him I was a disappointment to the family name. He said he expected more from his daughter, after all we are Smith's. After a few hours of passion and romance Robert suggested it was getting late and we'd better head home. He cut the lights, turned down the radio and leaned over to kiss me goodnight. We said we loved each other and he said " See ya soon Jennifer". I sliently snuck back into the house and crept up the stairs to my room. The next morning I woke up and got dressed for school. I ate breakfeast and drove to school in my fire-red camero. The next day went by as usual only today unlike usual I could not concentrate on my work. I was too excited about the dance on Friday night. Robert had already asked me to go and of course I said yes. Finally, the bell rang and I walked out into the sunshine towards my car where Robert was waiting foe me with a smile on his face. "Hi" he said. "Hi Robert, how was Geomontary" I asked. He said boring but, that he was glad to see me. He waved goodbye and headed off to his car. I drove home, ate dinner and went to bed early. We had a big test in Spanish the next day, which was not my best subject. The next few days went by and justwhen I thought the day would never come it did. I woke to the birds singing and sunshine pouring through my blindes. I just knew it was going to be a good day. I daydreamed most of the school day away and by 3:00 was suprized school was over so quick. Robert called me while I was getting ready, foruntaly my parents were out for the eveing. So as usual I was in charge of my little brother. But, I had already thought of that and had called a babysitter. He asked what time he should pick me up. I said around 8:30 since the dance was from 9:00-12:30. He agreed and I finsihed getting ready. I was putting on the finshing touches of my makeup when I heard the doorbell ring. I opened the door to my handsome Robert with one hand behind his back. He said " Close your eyes Please". I did and he told me to open my hand and look down. When I opened my eyes there was three red roses and a card attatched. I told him they were beatiful and he said no I was. I loved him so much at that moment and he said the roses stood for the three months we had been a couple. Inside there was a note and a tiny golden key which said "You have the key to my heart." I started to cry and he kissed me softly abd took my arm and we walked out into the Florida night. When we arrived at the dance it seemed everyone from school was there. We danced the night away, stars in our eyes and love only for each other. It was the best night of my life. Around 11:30 Robert whispered in my ear did I want to go to the beach. I said yes lets get out of here. So we walked across the room and out the gym doors. We drove to the beach in slience but, when we got there Robert guided me to the sand and we started kissing. He asked me if I was ready to go all the way. I said yes, that I was and that I loved him. He said he wanted to be sure and not do something we'd both regret. I said I was sure. He used a condem and after a few lustful hours of pleasure he looked at his watch and realized we were late getting home. We jumped into the car and he sped to my house. I managed to get inside without my parents questioing my I had been. The next few days I did not see Robert which was ok since I was not feeling very good. I thought nothing much of it till one day my friendasked me if I was ok. She said I looked really pale and tired. I had told her about Robert and me and she said " I know you may not want to hear this but could you be pregant?" "No" I said. "We used protection!" So the next day went by but, I couldn't shake off the feeling that she could be right. So I went and got a pregancy test and prayed I was not. Unforuntaly, when I went back to see the results I found out I was. I could not belive it, I was in complete and total shock. I did not sleep well that night and the next morning I felt even worse. I knew my parents would be devestated. Espically seeing how they knew it would be by Robert and that I was only 16. So I stuck it in the trashcan outside and drove to school hoping my parents would not see it. On the way there I couldn't belive it. I mean I had one year left of school, then college and I couldn't help but wonder where a baby would fit in there. I found out Robert had the flu and planned on going to see him but, when I stopped at the house my dad was waiting for me. He yanked me from the car into the house and threw me in a chair. I just knew what he was so mad about. His face was a deep purple and his hands shook he was so mad. He asked me if "it" was Robert's and before I could answer he said I knew it. He looked at me throughly disgusted. He slapped me and said "You will be getting an abortion!" "No I screamed" tears rolling down my face. There will be no discussion Jennifer he said. With that he walked past me gun in hand and started his car. He tore out of the driveway tires squealing. I sobbed helplessly my head in my hands and my shoulders shaking. I had no idea what to do except call the police and just as I finished my mother walked into the room. "What do you think you were doing child?" she asked me. I just looked at her unable to speak and then said "I'm sorry" and ran up to my room. I threw myself onto my bed and sobbed for what seemed like hours. It was dark when my mother knocked on my door and came in and said she had to go bail my father out of jail. "For what I asked?" She said that the police got my call and rushed into Robert's house just as my father had shot Robert in the side. "Oh" was all I could manage to say. So she went and bailed him out of jail and the next day I went to see Robert in the hospital. He smiled at me when I walked into the room. But, he grimaced when I bent to hug him. " Sorry baby" I replied. We just looked at each ohter for a second and then he said we need to talk. First of all he said he loved me still and would stick by me no matter what. I told him I had wanted to call and tell him but, knew he was sick and did not want to upset or over excite him. He said it was ok and he still had a great eveing. I told him I did to. He got released the next day and came to see me at my house. My dad told him to leave his property and to never touch me again. He told me to come inside and to close the door. I said no and that I was keeping the baby. "The hell you are girl" he said. I said I was and he told me to get out and never come back again. My mother started crying and begged him to change his mind. He said "No Lauren, it's the way it has to be!" So robert and I got my stuff together and he said I could move in with him. The next few months were some of the hardest ones of my life. I did contuie with school but did not talk to my parents for four long months. So I was suprized to recieve a phone call one day from my mother! She said that she and my father had talked about my future and decided they would like to be in it and to help with the baby. I told her thanks but we were fine on our own. She said she loved me and that she would like to help out. She said she convinced my father that we loved each ohter and would need some help from them. Before we hung up my father got on the phone and said " I do love you honey and I'm sorry". I said "Thanks for agreeing yo help out and that I understood." As I sit here five months later thinking to myself yes it is very hard to be a teen mother but, it helps when you have family who loves and supports you! The baby was named Sara and no we did not live happily ever after but, then again this is not a fairytale but real life. By: Lisa Kennedy ~in order to gain, you have to lose~ |

Nice story! It really illustrates some of the things that can go on in a teenagers life. You had a few spelling and grammar errors, but other than that, a wonderful story!

This is a very good piece. You paint a very realistic picture, and I'm glad that your story didn't end "happily ever after", since, like you said, it's real life. "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |

Dawn Eclipse: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is the 1st story I've done here. I tried to make it "life-like" so I'm glad it came across that way to the reader. I like your quote. Take care.  LoveBug: Thanks! I appricate you reading my story. I'm glad you liked the ending because it's true. If life we're like a fairytale things would be so much easier lol. But like my quote you can't have the good w/o the bad to. Take care. ~Lisa~ ~in order to gain, you have to lose~ |
