Laina is 16. She was happy go-lucky and carefree kinda girl. She could take on practically anything the world threw at her and never regretted anything. It was one of the things that Logan had loved so much about her. That's why he asked her out last summer. He had been crushing on her the whole year before he finally found the nerves to do it. Together, they could have conquered the world with their hopes and dreams but even sometimes, life throws unexpected misfortunes in our path and those dreams change, possibly shatter.

No one said a word. He stared at the faded beige walls as she stared at the stained white tiles that covered the doctors office. She never thought this would happen, not to her anyway. Her eyes were filled with disparity and she felt lost in her own mind. She couldn't believe that it was happening. She wanted it to disappear like a bad dream. But this was no dream; this was their new reality. Their lives were about to change forever.

She never thought that she and Logan would be stuck in this situation. They were both mildly drunk and were fooling around after Jenna's party. They had done it before. She was on the pill and they used a condom. The room was silent after the doctor had left them alone to talk. She had been throwing up and feeling moody but she didn't think it would be that big of a deal. She looked at Logan and said in a quiet voice " we're only sixteen". We're only sixteen she said again, only this time louder so he could hear. She shook her head and started to cry. He grabbed her hand then pushed her hair back behind her ears, looked deep her in the eyes and said with a shaky voice " it's ok Lain. We'll get through this, together." " I'm scared Logan. Whats going to happen? I'm not ready for all this. I'm not ready for a baby". " You think I am? Listen, we got into this mess together and that's how were going to get through this; Together." She looked at him with her teary eyes, pulled him close and cried into his shoulder. He squeezed her tight and said " It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be all right" but even he couldn't get himself to believe his own words.
