Elena sat on the edge of her bed, her shoulders hunched as tears streamed down her face. Her mind was a chaotic storm of thoughts and emotions, each one pulling her in a different direction.
The doctor's words echoed in her mind, a constant reminder of the impossible decision she was facing. She didn't want this, none of it. The idea of becoming a mother terrified her, but the thought of never having the chance again was equally frightening.
She buried her face in her hands, her sobs muffled by the fabric of her sleeves. Everything felt overwhelming, like the walls of her small apartment which she felt were closing in on her, leaving her trapped with no way out.
She had always been so sure of herself, of her decisions, of what she wanted but now she was completely lost, uncertain of what to do next.
