Chapter 9

  Annabelle's POV

  I am relieved the words are out, so I release a deep breath. I didn't even realize I have been holding in my breath. Pam is silent much to my surprise.

  I am thinking she will exclaim, "what the hell!" or ask if I am stupid to think of such. But she isn't saying anything.

  I open my eyes slowly and turn to look at her. She is just watching me, with her face devoid of expression. I don't know what she is thinking and if she is in support. I lean my head down, waiting for something to come out of her mouth.

  Pamela has always been the mature one between us and I always runs to her for advice. She is next in line to my mom and I love her.

  "You want to abort the baby?" She demands.

  "Yes", I answer sharply.

  "Why?" Her voice is low.

  I shrug. "Mom and I talked last night and we........"

  "And she asked you to go for an abortion?" I can sense the disbelief in her tone.
