Allison Renee Hudson

Nickname: Allie

Age: 16

The bell rang signalling the end of another school day. For some reason it seemed to take ages for Allie just to pull one book out of her locker and replace it with another.

"Hey!" A familiar voice called to her down the hall.

"Hey Allie! Let's go! I got to go meet the guys after I drop you off!" Finn perched himself at his sister's locker with a smile waiting for her to smile at him like always and punch him in the shoulder before passing him on her way to main exit of the school.

Nothing. Not even a look. Not even a snarky retort.

"Allie did you hear me?" asked Finn. Allie slammed her locker shut with a bang. She stooped down carefully to pick her bag up from the floor.

"I heard you!" She snapped with unusual venom in her voice. She tighten her jaw.

Finn furrowed his eyebrows in confusion at her reaction to him.

"Hey, what's gotten into you?" He demanded, following after Allie.

The smaller girl defiantly shook her head as she attempted to bury her face into her chest.

"Nothing." Her chin quivered as she tried walk faster and got shoulder checked by a jock.

"Oh come on! You don't snap at me for nothing." Finn insisted as he kept up at his sister's heels.

He grabbed Allie by the back of her shoulders. "Allie talk to me!" He forced her to turn around. Allie gasped and almost lost her balance.

Finn saw her face and realized...Allie was crying.

"Al?" Finn softened his voice feeling his chest tighten with worry. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Allie hung her head. "Please don't tell Mom, Finn. I didn't mean for it to happen. Honest I didn't!" She choked on her sobs.

Finn shook his head. "Tell Mom?...What Allie? What happened? Did someone hurt you?" He asked getting a little angry.

Allie shook her head. She wiped angrily at her tears as she spoke her next words.

"No...Finn, I'm pregnant."

Finn felt his heart stop. "W-what?..." He squeaked feeling all the blood drain from his face.

Allie hung her head and started trying to explain things to him.

"I..I wasn't sure...so I asked one of the Cheerios for a pregnancy test..." Her voice slowly faded out in Finn's subconcious.

Although he could still see her lips moving as she talked, he couldn't hear what she was saying anymore over the pounding beat of his heart.

"How...how did this happen?...Was it Puck?" He asked clenching a fist at the thought. Allie quickly shook her head.

"N-no it wasn't him!...I don't know whose it is because I was drunk when I..." She trailed off and grimaced as if getting a bad taste in her mouth. Finn frowned.

"Are you sure you're pregnant?" He asked in a soft voice. Allie nodded her head.

"Positive! I tried three different tests...they all came out positive." She bit her lip and rubbed at her nose. Finn clenched his other fist.

"And...Are you going to get it-?"

"No!" Allie cut him off. "No, I can't do that." She shook her head trying to calm herself down.

Finn thought his head might implode.

"Oh my God!..Oh my God! W-what are we going to do?" He started to freak out. Allie looked down at her feet.

"I don't know...I don't know!" She dissolved into sobs. Finn quickly pulled her into an embrace.

Over the pounding beat of his heart he could hear Allie crying and he could feel her tears wetting his t-shirt.

He grimaced and let out a tense shaky sigh as he slowly rubbed the small of her back ignoring the fact that she was sinking her nails six inches deep into his arm.

What am I going to do?...He wondered to himself. What are we going to do?
