after by amy efaw

I haven’t got very far into my book yet but the main character in the book is now in a juvenile detention center for attempted murder. It started with her just lying on the couch and then her mom came up to the apartment saying how she couldn’t believe what someone threw in the trash. Two cops came up and knocked on their door to see if they had seen or heard anything. Her mom pulled the blanket of her and she was covered in blood and she said it was her period. She says she didn’t know she was pregnant after giving birth and throwing her baby in the trash and the baby was still alive. They arrested her and took her to the hospital. Even when she was in the hospital and the doctor said something about the umbilical cord was still there she still said she hadn’t been pregnant. But she did not want them to touch her. The doctor and nurse had to talk to her quite a few times to try to calm her down. I don’t know what the reasoning is yet but there are so many options other than what she did. There are hospitals, fire stations, police stations. I don’t understand how anyone could do something like this. She was a good student and in activities at school. I really want to read and see why she did this. I think I will finish this book before I know it so can try to understand if its possible.
