Allison's Abortion

Written by Kristin Smith



Allison Shepard is a beautiful 18-year-old girl in her freshmen year of college. She attends Boston University and is going on a month abroad to Spain with her best friend Hailey. Once they got to Spain, other from the work they had to do for the program, Allison and Hailey went out all the time. They were meeting new people, immersing in the culture, and of course going clubbing. Hailey was more of the party girl, with Allison being more timid. Allison had drank before at a few parties, but never was out of control, she didn’t like the feeling of not having control over her body. It was Hailey and Allison’s second night in Spain, and Hailey and they wanted to go out and take advantage of the drinking age being 18. Hailey, who was known to dress a little more revealing, wore a black body-con that complimented her curves with shiny black heels. Allison planned on wearing shorts and a tank top, not realizing that’s usually not the attire to go clubbing in. After Hailey advised her on what to wear, they hit the clubs.

Allison didn’t understand the rules of going clubbing and set her drink down, later coming back to It and drinking it. Soon she was in a daze and didn’t know what was happening. She has no re-collection of the night, but all she knows is she woke up in a stranger’s bed, with her clothes off and bruised. She felt sick and her body hurt. Scared to go to the hospital and too embarrassed to tell anyone, she pretended noting happened. A few weeks later,  she realized the worst, she was pregnant.
