Recommended: Dilemma about abortion

Veronica was getting ready to leave the hospital the morning after. While collecting everything, she came to the realization that she had no way of getting home. It was Zoey that brought her there in her car, and she was gone. As a matter of fact, she didn’t even know which hospital she was in, or even where in Ohio she was.
She had no idea how she was going to get back to her apartment, but she apparently would have to stay at the hospital, maybe outside, until she figured a way to get someone she knew well enough to take her home.
Her hand moved to the doorknob, but before she could fully twist it, Jon opened it. She felt her heartbeat quicken as he stared a hole through her. “What are you doing here?” he asked, pulling a concerned face.”Aren’t you supposed to be resting?”
“No, they cleared me just a while ago. I was about to leave, but…” She paused for a while, trying to decide if she should ask him the question or not. It was such a simple thing to ask, but it was hard at the same time. She noticed that he raised his eyebrow, which meant he was growing impatient. Finally, she sucked in a sharp breath before answering. “Jon, can you take me home?”
He thought about it for a while nodding. “Sure I can. I’ll be waiting outside, so meet me out there when you’re ready.” He left the room, causing Veronica to sigh out of relief.
She couldn’t concentrate properly with all the thoughts running through her head. There were so many questions that needed to be answered regarding him and the abortion. She knew that he wouldn’t answer them. Well, if he did, it would certainly not be any time soon.
Finally deciding that she kept him waiting long enough, she went outside.Veronica and Jon had been sitting there silently for a few minutes. It k...

...ive or anything, but he just didn’t like him for some reason.
“I’m her boyfriend, who are you?” He knew that was a lie, but he just wanted to see his expression. He looked up, chuckled, then shook his head.
“That’s funny, because I’m supposed to be her boyfriend.” He took Veronica away from her and took her to her bedroom. Jon put his arms around his neck, seeing if he could try to get the same feeling as when Veronica’s arms were there. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the same.
While Veronica’s “boyfriend” was gone, Jon turned around and saw Zoey smiling. “You’re happy with yourself, aren’t you?” he asked. All she did was smile and roll her eyes. “It’s not getting to me. Fuck, I banged a lot of chicks while we were broken up, and she can do the same for all I care. I’m not stopping her. Besides, she loved me when we were dating. Whatever happens now, it doesn’t matter.”
