MidReal Story

Unlikely Allies: A Tale of Love and Choice

Scenario:A romantic comedy story about two people with wildly different political views who fall in love, when a young woman seeking an abortion persuades a pro life young man to help her get to an abortion clinic. At just eighteen, an ambitious girl fresh from high school envisions a bright future filled with college and a thriving career. Yet, when the shocking news of an unexpected pregnancy shatters her dreams, the weight of her conservative Christian upbringing bears down on her like a leaden cloak. Overwhelmed by fear and despair, she feels isolated and trapped, with no one to confide in. Her only glimmer of hope lies in the elusive possibility of accessing abortion services; however, within the confines of her rural community, the nearest clinic is not only hours away but stands as a daunting barrier to her freedom. As she grapples with the insidious web of stigma and shame, she must summon the courage to advocate for her rights and fight for the future she once envisioned. Amid this tumultuous journey, she uncovers support she never knew existed, drawing strength from unexpected places. Two individuals, in particular, emerge as beacons of hope. The first, naturally, is her childhood best friend—a vivacious spirit who has always been the more outgoing of the duo, though perhaps lacking in the intellectual pursuits. The second is the last person she could have anticipated coming to her aid: a twenty-year-old young man who has spent time working for her father. He embodies everything she believed would obstruct her path—a conservative Republican whose views often clash with her own. Their relationship has been marked by a simmering tension over political debates and disagreements, though beneath the surface, there has always been a hint of something more—he is undeniably handsome, after all. Yet until now, she has only seen him as a source of frustration. As the situation unfolds, she discovers that despite his deep personal moral reservations about abortion he knows that if doesn't help her obtain a safe legal abortion in a clinic she might turn to a back alley doctor or even try and end the pregnancy herself with potentially fatal results and he doesn't want to see her hurt. His decision to help despite his deep misgivings also encourages our heroine to examine her own political views and for her to realize that while she is firmly pro-choice many pro-life people come from a place of love rather than simple ignorance. While never agreeing with her views he reluctantly is there for her to drive her to the clinic and sit with her and then drive her back. There are few hints of friendship and sympathy from him and gratitude from her and the sparks of something more romantic as these two most unlikely soulmates find themselves bonding in a warm and surprisingly funny way.

I sat in the waiting room staring at the ceiling, my mind racing.
I couldn't believe I was sitting in a Planned Parenthood waiting to have an abortion.
It was against everything I had ever been taught.
Yet here I was, eighteen and pregnant, with no idea what I wanted to do.
My phone buzzed and I glanced down to see a text from my best friend Alex.
"Has the doctor called you yet?"
I typed out a reply.
"No not yet."
I dropped the phone back onto my lap and went back to staring at the ceiling.
I heard the door open and shut and then footsteps coming towards me.
"Emily."
I turned towards the sound of my name and smiled when I saw Alex walking towards me.
She dropped into the chair next to mine and looked at me immediately concerned.
"What's wrong?"
I shook my head.
"Nothing."
"What did the doctor say?"
I sighed.
"I haven't seen the doctor yet."
Alex looked at me like I was crazy.
"What are you doing here then?"
I rolled my eyes.
"I was hoping they would call and it would all be a false positive."
