Dawn had run away from Rehab school when she was 12. She had moved from foster home to foster home never stayed at a home more than 8 weeks.
She was almost raped by her last foster brother 5 years ago. After the escape, she lived on the street by herself
For 2 years she was surviving on drugs, pickpocketing and selling plastic bottles. She did anything for surviving 14. Finally, she was found by an old widow who took her in and enrolled her in Lincoln Elementary school.
She turned out to be a very bright kid and she had been there till the old widow died 2 months after she turned 16.
The litte cottage became hers and she had been on scholarship for a whole year now. At 17, Dawn manages to live on her own but had returned to her reckless lifestyle
She had met Scarlett at summer camp and they became best of friends. She was never really the cool type until she met Scarlett.
Life had not been peaceful for her either because the area gang was always on her neck for one vice or another. She spent her evenings hiding from Gunner the gang leader.
The school had threatened to put her off the scholarship a couple of times. It was during one of these hectic days that she met Darcy Morwen.
They had spent the whole summer break together and made love last vacation when Cory had his sleepover party. And now is the result
DAWN PRESENTLY.
Scarlett: Hey Dawn snap out of it what are you sulking about? I've got Ms. Alora's permission can we get going now?
Dawn just nodded and lead the way lost in thoughts
At home, Scarlett had made tea and got Dawn to sip a bit. She then texted Darcy to come over after School
She had taken care of Dawn's laundry and finding anything she could do to avoid a conversation with her.
Dawn: Darcy won't be happy about this. I wanna get rid of it she said standing behind Scarlett.
Scarlett: Holy smotes! Dawn how could you possibly think of a thing like that? You gotta be kidding me right now
She said as she dropped the clothes on the floor. I thought you were supposed to be resting?
Dawn: oh save it and come off it Scarlett I know you're tryna avoid this conversation but let's face it okay this is wrong she said pointing at her stomach.
I can't let this scholarship slide no way I won't even be able to care for the baby.
Darcy has senior exams to write he won't stop school for me or the baby. He doesn't even have a job neither do I.
Scarlett:Okay fine I know u worked hard for this scholarship but Dawn abortion is certainly not the remedy for this. OMG you could you know?
Dawn:Scarly get this straight I'm not keeping it!! She yelled in tears and run upstairs but stopped on the fourth step, and burst into tears
Scarlett walked over and said " Well I'm the auntie so excuse me if I want my niece or nephew to be born"
We could take turns looking after it right? Babes chill okay we'll figure it out together.
Whose hungry, well I am. She said as she headed for the refrigerator.
Dawn: Thanks Scarly I don't know what I would have done without you.
The rest of the day passed on slowly as they awaited Darcy.
They had sat in silence for hours until the doorbell did the honour of breaking the silence
Scarlett: Hey guess who we have here. Darcy, come in Dawn's waiting. She ushered him In.
