"Late? Late for what?" Rocco asked cluelessly.
"My period, I haven't had it in a while. Plus I've been getting sick a lot, it all points to one thing" I said standing up nervously.
he sat there for a minute thinking over what I had just said. Then his eyes grew wide as reality sank in and he understood what I was implying,
"ya think yer knocked up?"
i hesitently nodded feeling a tear drop on my cheeks. I couldn't have a baby, not with the life we live in. This terrified me, but I had to know for sure. I wiped a tear from my cheek and stormed past him without saying another word. I heard his footsteps behind me as I went into the kitchen and grabbed my coat. I put it on and turned to roc,
"I'll be back and whatever you do you do not say a word to them, especially murphy."
"what if they ask where ya at?" He asked.
"make something up. I'm hoping to be back by before them anyways" I said starting to walk towards the door.
I was stopped by a hand on my upper arm. I turned to him and he said,
"I can't let ya go out there alone liv, especially in this condition and predicament we're in. You can't get caught"
"I have to roc, I have to know" I said seriously and pleaded with my eyes to let me go.
he starred back firmly, but then broke,"fine but ya better get back before they do"
i smiled and nodded as he pulled me into a hug. He whispered in my ear,"not matter what happens, we'll figure this out. We always do"
i smiled and nodded leaving him to go to the store. About a half hour later I got back to the apartment. As I was sliding the key in the lock, i heard yelling. The boys were back. I quickly slid the box of tests into my coat pocket and opened the door. Honestly I didn't know how it was going to be seeing murphy. Hell it shouldn't be any different, I don't even know if I'm pregnant. I opened the door slowly and slid in seeing the boys yelling at Rocco. Rocco's eyes got wide when he saw me. He pointed to me and said,
"see she's fine"
both boys looked over at me. Relief flew over there bodies as they stormed up to me.
"What the fuck liv! Ya had us worried sick!" Connor said.
"was about to come get yer ass! Ya can't just be goin out der like that without one of us!" Murphy agreed.
"ok ok I'm sorry" I said looking to Rocco for help. I didn't know what excuse he gave em.
"is alright" Connor sighed.
"next time if ya just want some fresh air, use the fire escape or wait for one of us to come back" murphy said hugging me.
i hugged back and looked at Rocco over Murphy's shoulder. I mouthed thank you to him and he nodded. Once murphy pulled away, he kept an arm around my shoulders as we looked at the other two.
"Alright so tell us about this new one roc" Connor said.
i arched an eyebrow confused but then realized what he meant. The boys wanted to work tonight. That meant I was going with them. Maybe if I didn't say anything they wouldn't notice me not go. I couldn't in this predicament.
" Let's talk some business here. I know a sick fuck... makes the ones we been doing look like altar boys. Worst night of my life when I met this guy." Rocco started to explain his experience with this guy.
got to admit he was a sick bastard. I felt murphy squeeze onto me tighter as Rocco explained. Once he was done he said,
"Worst day of my life, man."
