The right choice

in relationship •  7 years ago 

I just watched Mandy cry. I looked at her, still stunned from what she just told me. I wanted to scold her and shout at her but I couldn't. Instead, I hugged her tight. She cried . I tried to help her make the pain stop. I wished this was a bad dream but it wasn't. Mandy was really pregnant. At 17.

"Laura!" she called my name " am sorry. I should have listened to you " I could feel her pain even if I wasn't the victim." If I had taken your advice, I wouldn't be in this situation now" she cried " I thought I loved him. I thought he loved me. Drake deceived me." She cried again. "What am I gonna tell my mum and my dad" I was speechless. That was the hard part. Telling Mandy's ' churchy' parents. They would disown her.

" what did drake say when you told him? " I finally asked.
" He said I was a liar and that he's not the father of the baby. He told me to get out of his house and he broke up with me." She said.

I didn't know what to tell her. But I knew what she wanted to hear and I wasn't going to let her do it." Mandy, I know how bad u feel right now and I know you are considering doing an abortion. But I can't let u do it" she looked at me. Eyes wide open. " what if you die in the process. Did you even think about that?" She was quiet. " or do u think when you do it, everything will return back to normal? Listen, am sorry this happened to you, but this is not the end of life. It was a mistake.
Mistakes are made every time for us to learn. I advice you to keep the baby. And I think you should listen to me."

Imagine, your mum got pregnant with you out of wedlock,and she didn't keep it. You wouldn't be here right now. You have to make a choice. The good choice. Next time you think of aborting , think of the little child.
Forget Drake, he doesn't deserve you and trust me one day he's going to come begging. But first you have to tell your parents . I will pray that God touches their heart. I held her hands and prayed trusting God for a second chance. " Immediately, Mandy hugged me tight she was scared. I could tell.....

She finally told her Parents. Her parents accepted to help her after much persuasion from relatives....It was a miracle though....

Mandy has her cute baby girl now.....Thank God she made the right choice....

You know blessings sometimes come in small packages.

all the same, i still don't understand why it seems that few ladies still let a man they are not married to get them pregnant.

Why do they fall in LUST
they shouldn't even fall in love. coz when they do, standing becomes an isssue.

Nice one @janywealth

True...thanks much

I can imagine right now what the young lad(Drake) is feeling, how can i take that responsibility at this time(just thinking though).
But little does he know that great things start small, who knows what the child will become tomorrow..

To sum it up, Drake is a kid.
Maturity comes when you start accepting responsibility...

Good write up (thumbs up)

Thanks much
