Luke

"My brother...he was lost in foster care..."

"Foster care?"

"My little brother and I were orphans when both of my parents died in a car wreck. We were both thrown in the system. We ended up getting adopted by this nice family but once he hit 16 he started hanging out with the wrong crowd at school and me?

I chased after my dreams by going to school and just focusing on what was right. Our parents threatened to throw him back in a group home if he kept continuing his behavior. And...they did.

For the last three years he's been in group homes to on the streets. I would try to help him but he didn't want my help. On top of that he was sick. Mentally unstable. One night I wake up to missed calls from the center he was at.

He left this frantic voicemail saying they're out to get him and that I needed to save him. Luke I rushed to the center so fast, to only find his dead body surrounded by caution tape."

I sigh.

"Damn..."

"We were all we had! I feel like it's my fault. I could have saved him luke. He was my best friend."

"You can't save someone who didn't wanna be saved."

"But he did and I blew it....the past  month I've been cutting,drinking, and partying to numb the pain. I've been trying to plan the funeral along with juggling other responsibilities.  Luke do you know what it feels like to be alone?"

"Yes yes I do. It sucks."

"I'm scared. You wanna know something?"

"What?"

"This morning I was really considering killing myself before you came. But then you knocked and..seeing you just made all my stress go away."

I clenched my jaw and let out a sigh.

"Mariah don't you ever try to kill your self. Your life is precious. Okay? I'm here now."

She then fell into me, crying harder and harder into my chest. I just sit there and hold her tight. I could only imagine what she's been through.

The dinner was amazing. I had an amazing time with bebe's family. They love me as much as I love them. Afterwards, it was time to head back to the hotel. As we get back into the car, it was kind of silent. It seemed like Bianca had a lot on her mind.

I broke the silence.

"You okay baby?"

"No...I have to tell you something."

"What is it?" I ask in a concerned tone.

"Can we talk about it when we get to the room?"

I nod my head in agreement.

I didn't know what she was gonna tell me. Honestly I'm scared shitless. What if she thinks everything is moving fast again? I just sigh and continue driving.

As we walk back into the room, Algee lays on the edge of the bed waiting for What I have to say.

I take a deep breath.

"Algee please don't hate me..please don't leave me." I start to say while crying.

"Babe what's wrong?" He asks while holding my hands.

"I'm pregnant."

"What???!" He says in shock.

Great. I knew his reaction would be that way.

This relationship is ruined.

He then starts to tear up and smiles.

"You are? Oh my gosh this is amazing baby." He gets closer to me and pulls me in for a hug.

I was confused.

"Baby why would I be mad at you or leave you?"

"Because I was thinking about how our careers are taking off and having a child is gonna ruin everything."

"Bebe..I'll never leave you or our baby. How long have you been keeping this from me?"

"A good few weeks, only because I thought that I wasn't and I kept taking tests which mostly said positive. But I couldn't believe it."

"Thank you god." He says while kissing my forehead.

"We gonna be okay bebe."

He pulls me in for a hug which seemed like forever.

It took a huge weight off my shoulders.

"Is there anything else you have to tell me?"

"No" I say while giggling.

Everything was gonna be just fine.

*The next morning*

Algee

Today is bebe's 23rd Birthday. She's been sound asleep ever since  we watched some new films on Netflix the other night.

It gave me time to set up a little surprise for her when she wakes up. I hope she likes it.

I slowly rise up from my sleep and notice tons of balloons surrounding me. I smile then turn to my left and see a note and a cute dress.

The note read:
"Good Morning Beautiful and Happy Birthday. You're turning the huge 23! Wow I can't believe it. I wish I could be with you right now but something caught up back at home and I had to take the next flight. I'm sorry babe. I hope I made it up to you by buying this beautiful dress and decorating the room for you. Wear it today for lunch with your family. Send me pictures. I love you bebe❤

Love you,

Al.

My face felt hot so fast.

This whole trip was intended to be for us and us only!

I just sigh and roll my eyes.

I quickly call Algee but straight to voicemail.

What was the emergency ?!
