I pretended to be pregnant to appease my parents.

I pretended to be pregnant to appease my parents.

Hey! My name is Julie and I once ran away from my house. Yes I know, that was a dumb thing to do... Well I don't know what was I thinking when I took this step but to be honest, I was literally scared to death. That day, I kept wandering everywhere in my school and was going through severe anxiety attacks. I had to do something… I didn't have the guts to face my parents with what I was going through, so I decided to go home and leave a note which said, “I’m running away with my boyfriend because I’m pregnant” !!

I left the note in my room, on top of my side table and went to the coffee shop with my best friend ‘Drake’, waiting for my parents call me. My anxiety attack was still not over, so I started talking about different things with Drake to distract my mind and kept drinking coffee one after another. We got so much involved in the discussion that both of us didn’t even realise that two hours have passed away and there’s not even a single message or call from my parents. “Why haven’t your Parents contacted you yet?” Drake asked with worry. All types of things started going through my mind.
