Life Goes On

Carter Avery looked down at her hands, trying to still them. This couldn't be happening. Not to her. Not now. Not when she wasn't even out of high school... Not like this...

She stood up on shaky legs and walked numbly into her room, throwing the incriminating object that sealed her future into her waste bin. She sat on her bed and whispered, praying to anyone that would listen.
"Please help me.. I don't know how to be a mother."
