Chapter 34 Being In Trouble

• Pain overwhelms me knowing that I am going to cause too much harm to my father, but I need to be honest with him before he finds out from someone else or notices it from the growth of my belly.
• "Has something serious happened while we were away?" my father asks with concern, and I swallow hard.
• "It's nothing," my mother says, downplaying the situation and trying to save me from something I no longer want to postpone.
