16 and Pregnant
Intro
India looked up at her boyfriend as they laid on his bed, she wondered if now was the right time to tell him, but would there ever be right time to tell him?
Taking a deep breath she decided that she might as well just get it done and out of the way, this way she didn’t have to worry about it 24/7 plus he would notice in a few months that’s she changed and putting on weight. ‘I can do this’ she said to herself ‘I can do it come just say it then I don’t have to worry’.
“Harry promise me something, yeah?” India asked her boyfriend of a year, fear written all over her pale, innocent face.
“I promise. What is it Ind” The curly haired boy asked is girlfriend, stoking her hair of her face “I love you” he carried on “whatever it is I promise that I’ll be here for you”
“Im- im two weeks preg-nnant” she whispered.

That was just one of the promises that Harry had broken, leaving his girlfriend distraught. India had told Harry she was pregnant just over 2 months now, meaning she was 10 week. She wasn’t showing yet, but in a few weeks she would be, which meant the whole school would find out soon enough, if they hadn’t already. Whenever Harry and India walked down the corridor the other school children would look down at them, whispering in their friendship groups about how Harry had gotten his girlfriend ‘knocked up’ as they said, in the end they both got used to it knowing that it was something you couldn’t keep a secret or stop people from saying.
People wonder why she’s didn’t just have an abortion like most teenagers, but no. India had always said that she would never get rid of child, although she never really thought that at sixteen and in her last year of high school she would become pregnant.
Harry’s mum, dad and stepdad took better than they both thought, thinking they were both going to be told of for being irresponsible, and should have used protection. The thing is though they did use protection the last time they had sex, but the condom obviously split, leaving them in the situation they’re in now.
India’s parents were another story, they would never know. The reason they would never know is because two years ago (one year before Harry and India got together) her parents died tragically in a motorway accident on the way home from work when India was once again around harry’s house.
‘ “Anne, has mum or dad text you saying that they’re home?” India asked Harry’s mother, they looked so alike it’s unreal.
“No I haven’t sweetie maybe they’re stuck in traffic” she smiled at the fourteen year old girl in front of her.
“What, what if they’re not, what if something bad has happened, what if-“she was cut of her speech but a knocking at the door. Anne smiled one last time at India before going to answer the door.
“Hello, we’re here to talk to India Hudson” said the person at the door.
“She just in here, I’ll go get her” She heard Anne say to whoever it was. Saving Anne walking to the kitchen she walked out of the door and into the living room, seeing two police officers, one lady and one man.
“India Hudson?” the male officer asked, nodding they carried on “take a seat” doing as she was told she took a seat next to Anne on the sofa.
“I’m very sorry India but sadly you mother, Mrs Teresa Hudson and you father, Mr David Hudson were both killed in a car accident, they were dead on the scene” the rest of what the officer say was a blur as India took in what they were saying. She couldn’t believe it, it must be some sick joke there playing and her parents would jump through the door laughing and joking around, but that didn’t happen. They had gone.’
Anne had brought up India since then, as India didn’t have any family that could take her in, they were either to old, or the other side of the world and didn’t have any way in contacting them.
Anne had been Teresa’s best friend since they can remember. India was sure both her parent would be proud of her even if she is pregnant at sixteen.
India didn’t want to think about her parents at the moment, she know that sounded horrible but she didn’t mean for it to, she just didn’t want to cry any more. Harry had brought her enough pain the last two months since she had told him; he was constantly going out with his friends getting drunk, even though he is underage. Anne was not pleased with Harry’s antics, strolling in the house at god knows what hour in the morning. He had countlessly brought back girls to the house, obviously you don’t need to be told what he was doing, but this was beginning to wear thin on Harry’s, mum, dad and stepdad. India couldn’t even look at him, let alone be in the same room as him at the same time.
The thing that upset India the most was the fact he hadn’t taken any interest in the babe at all. He hadn’t once how she was or how the babies’ health was, he also hadn’t been to any of the scans, but Anne had been there the whole time.
How much more could they take of Harry?
