A week later Lauryn goes to Long Beach to visit Brea & Marcus

Lauryn: (sitting on the bed) Man Brea I didn’t drive here in this California traffic taking me almost 3 hours to get here when its supposed to only take an hour to sit in this apartment we supposed to go out so I can experience the college life

Brea: Heffa shut up cause first of all u only 17 so I can’t take u to any clubs & I really don’t feel like going to any house parties cause I feel sick (laying across her bed)

Lauryn: U said that last weekend when I called & told u I was coming what the hell is wrong with yo ass u got a life threaten sickness, sars or some shit like that (laughing)

Brea: (sticking her middle finger up at Lauryn) Eff u & no I don’t got nothing like that & if I tell u what I think is wrong with me u can’t tell anyone not yo parents, not mine, not yo sisters & damn sure not Chres cause u know u got a big ass mouth

Lauryn: (looking at her) What the hell its that bad, I think I’m scared to know now & I do not have a big mouth

Brea: (looking at her) Girl bye

Lauryn: Shut up now tell me

Brea: Lauryn I’m not playing don’t let this leave this room cause only Marcus knows this but I think I’m pregnant

Lauryn: (shocked) Wait hold on rewind did u say u think that u are pregnant

Brea: Yes I did heffa

Lauryn: OMG u playing

Brea: I’m not but I don’t know yet I have to make a doctor’s appointment cause from what I seen how our mothers & aunties were when they were pregnant & learning stuff in school I have the same symptoms that’s why I been sick

Lauryn: Well damn & they always thought me & Chres would be the first kids to bring home & grandchild but did u at least take an EPT

Brea: No cause I’m scared to

Lauryn: I would be too but u should take one while I’m here (thinking) damn auntie Bee & uncle Prod gone be mad

Brea: Naw u think that’s why I can’t tell them until I know for sure & know what I’m gone do if so

Lauryn: What u mean what u gone do if so u better not try to get an abortion or nothing

Brea: I didn’t say I was but if I did it would be my choice & there is nothing nobody can do about it if me & Marcus agree to it

Lauryn: Like ya’ll didn’t agree to use a condom

Brea: (rolling her eyes) Shut up cause who said we didn’t use on those things aren’t 100% shit happens & I am grown so I do what I want to do

Lauryn: (giggling) Ok then why are u scared to tell anybody then (grabbing her purse)

Brea: Shut up & I swear to god if u tell anybody Lauryn I’m a kick yo ass & that’s not a threat it’s a promise

Lauryn: (smacking her lips, with an attitude) Ok whatever

They leave to go get the EPT
