Chapter 48 → Ray

I shakily made my way up onto the podium, swallowing the lump in my throat as I wrung my hands for the 10th time in that second. I blinked away my tears, as I opened my mouth to begin my speech. When nothing came out, I felt a hand on my back as I looked back to see Brandon giving me a reassuring nod.

"When I found out that I was pregnant, I felt as though my world had come to an abrupt stop. An unexpected stop. I, a young model and aspiring actress was now forced to deal with this new revelation. My immediate reaction was to call my mother for advice but before I could reach my phone i remembered her words which were: 'irregardless of weather planned or unplanned, I want you to accept the gift of a baby with open arms and treat it as though you were living your life through it" I said looking into the crowd "as those words rang through my head I had to inform the father, but before I could you left this world."

I sniffed a little, looking up and blinking the tears away

"I wanna apologize. To my mother for not allowing her the chance to see her first granddaughter, to Zion, CJ and Lucas for denying you three the chance at being phenomenal uncles. To Aaliyah, Rayaan, Alexys, Tiffany and all my other amazing friends I'd like to apologize for not letting you spoil his baby to bits." I stopped and turned to Brandon "but mostly I'd like to apologize to you Brandon. For robbing you of the chance to be an amazing father to this baby. For stealing his or her life before she or he knew her father. I'd like to apologize so much for being so self centered and snatching this once in a life time chance."

By this time, tears were streaming down my face. Brandon reached up and swiped my tears away with his thumb. Giving my hand a little squeeze before I turned around

"I wanna switch places with you. Give you a chance to know your grandma, uncles, aunts and dad. I'm so sorry for what happened. I would love to reverse the hands of time but all I can do. Is say I love you, I love you like a mother would"

With that I stepped down, collapsing into Brandon arms as he held me. He laid a kiss on my forehead as he looked at me

"I forgive you"

Rayaan's POV

"I'm gonna go see if Brandon's okay" Nick said as he kissed my cheek, earning a nod from me as he walked away after excusing himself from the group

"You two mad cute though" Ray smirked as she sipped her water
"You and Brandon too" Aaliyah nudged
"Yeah y'all seem awfully cosy" I said
"I mean we're taking this day by day. We need to repair our relationship you know" Ray shrugged
"Well I guess that's good enough. Don't need him hurting you again" I said
"How are you and Zion?" Ray asked

Aaliyah blushed as she looked down making Ray and I smirk

"Even after being together for 4 years the sound of his name still make her blush" I awwed
"He's honeslty everything I've ever asked for-
"Hey guys" Austin said cutting us off
"Hey Porter" Ray smiler

Austin had come over with some girl by his side along with Edwin who too had a girl by his side

"NAI!" Ray yelled
"RAY!" The girl yelled as she engulfed Ray in a hug
"And how do you know her?" Edwin asked
"We grew up in the A together-
"Pimpin Niggahs and making hoes cry" she said fist bumping Ray

"This is Ansel and Manai" Edwin said pointing to the girls
"Hi" Aaliyah said engulfing them both in a hug
"Hi" Ansel said to us "look I'm sorry for the loss of your baby. I head what happened to you and honeslty it's terrible but why did you decide not to tell Brandon about the-
"Ansel" Austin scolded
"What I'm just curious" she shrugged

All eyes were on Ray as I noticed her breathing had changed

"Ever heard of curiosity killed the cat?" She asked calmly making Ansel nod "well you're about to be that cat if you don't take your pale ass somewhere else"
