Jezebel Mallory Sloane
December 27th 2017
Have you ever had a moment where you knew your life was about to completely change forever? That’s what that moment was for a young Jezebel Sloane on her 17th birthday, anxiously waiting for each second to pass by in a public bathroom stall. She had barely a few minutes entirely on her own, nearly her entire day was spent with the most important person to her. No matter which way these few minutes went, she would spend the rest of her birthday with Jordan. Her favorite places, her favorite person, a repeat of one of her favorite memories with their first date, all to be topped off with a surprise from Dan. Though, life always seems to throw a curveball into any plans you make.
After a mere few minutes that felt like an eternity, what Jezebel saw scared her more than anything else had over the past 17 years. Positive. She was pregnant. She was just turning 17 years old, it was sophomore year, they were still practically kids themselves, and Jordan was about to leave. What was she supposed to do, what could she even do? There’s no guide on what to do when you’re in high school and find out you’re pregnant just the day before your boyfriend was leaving town. Jezebel didn’t know what to do, she didn’t even know what to think or feel. She was the same age that her mom had been when she got pregnant with her, and that had its own problems. Her mother was going to flip out if she found out. How was she supposed to tell anyone? If Jordan knew, he wouldn’t go, and Jezebel didn’t want to force him to not take an opportunity that he had. She would just have to wait and tell him later, once she had the chance to wrap her mind around it, figure out what she wanted, and figure out how to tell him. One day of pretending nothing was changing, even though nothing would be the same again. What a way to start another year.
