On the day I was supposed to try on wedding dresses with my boyfriend of seven years, I rushed to the bridal shop filled with excitement.
But I accidentally overheard a conversation between my boyfriend and his friend.
"You got married to Melody at the courthouse yesterday, and today you're bringing Summer to try on wedding dresses. Aren't you afraid Summer will find out and make a scene?"
He looked helpless and said in a hoarse voice, "My brother died in a car accident. Melody is pregnant with his child. If I don't step up and marry her, how will they survive as a widow and orphan?"
"I'll spend my whole life making it up to Summer. Keep your mouth shut. She can never find out about this."
I turned around and made an appointment for an abortion at the hospital.
If he couldn't give me and the baby a complete family, then we might as well not have one at all.
