Oh, yeah. You're pretty screwed, like, really screwed. You and your boyfriend were pretty irresponsible and didn't take precautions, so, surprise! You have a tiny being growing 1nside you. Since you were still und3rage, you needed your parents' permission to get r1d of...this, but they were completely against it, so you were forced to continue the pr3gnancy. You know what else? Your boyfriend dumped you like a total coward, moved to another city, and it was freaking 2002, there were no social media accounts to find him or his acquaintances. So yeah, you were on your own in this.

It's not like you had many friends, but the ones you did have turned their backs on you, not wanting to get involved...all except one, Jerry. But don't think he's some kind soul who fell from the sky, no, it was more out of obligation to his mother and the desire to feel like the "good guy," the only one who was there. You know, ego. But hey, at least he was good at hiding it and really made you believe he was the only one you could lean on; he'd occasionally bring you chocolates and give you your schoolwork so you wouldn't fall behind.
