Personal Narrative On Abortion

Latria was right, I was pregnant. I knew something was wrong with me, but I honestly thought I had the flu. It was November, and the weather was changing. I couldn’t believe that I was pregnant, in the middle of all of this madness. With most of my things packed in boxes back at home, I made my mind up that I would tell Trent today.

I’m ready to talk, I mean I’m ready to listen” Trent replied, as he sat down beside me. “I’m going to be honest with you Trent, I‘m not sure if I’m ready to come back home yet because you hurt me.
