Love and War, Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Two lines, oh no. This was bad, this was really bad. All the sudden Polly's world started to go in and out, up and down and swurling all over the place, Polly had no idea what had just happened. In fact she did have an idea, she was just eighteen and pregnant, the father was off at war and Polly didn't want this baby. That day Polly decided that it was best not to go to school, she wouldn't be able to think about any of the work any way, only about the little life growing inside of her, the little life that she didn't want. But what about Matt? What if he wanted Polly to keep this baby, after all it wasn't the babies fault that Polly and Matt had decided to do it, why should the baby have to suffer? Polly walked around all day, in no real knowledge of where she was actually going, just knowing that she had to keep moving. The signs had been there, the constant eating, the feeling sick and she hadn't had her period in almost three months, though Polly had just thought that this was all because of Matt, but now she knew. Right in the middle of her thoughts there was this buzing sound, it made Polly jump, and then she relised that it was just her phone. "Hello..." Polly said in an almost silent voice. "Don't hello me young lady, why are you not at school. You have an exam!!!" Great just the thing that Polly need, an angry mum. "Mum I have a good reason for it." Polly heard her mothers anger in her voice and pictured it raising 100% when Polly told her."Oh really a good reason, it better be a good one, a goddamn good one." Polly froze, this was it, no going back now. "Mum, I'm pregnant."
