Akira Dials

"Akira you want some to eat?" Christian asked as he stood in the door with his attention on his phone

"Nope" I dryly responded, making sure to pop the p

"Mannn see ion got time for yo attitude"

"Well don't.. I'll be glad when you leave for school anyways"

"Hope my feelings ain supposed to be hurt" he shrugged before walking off and I turned back up my music playing from my tv. As Valentines Day by Kehlani played I let out a sigh and read a text from Egypt. Thinking about me even mentioning Christian going off to college honestly made me realize that my brother was really leaving within the next couple of months and no matter how hard I try to front, I know ima miss the hell out of him so we were gonna have to talk eventually

I got up out of the bed and left my room going to his. Christian sat on his bed counting money, most likely money he won from street racing with his friends or betting on cars. He looked at me and shook his head

"The fuck you want?"

"You ain gotta be rude Christian"

Christian kissed his teeth "ion got time for yo shit Akira"

"Look.. you leave soon and even though I wanna stay mad at you, I can't"

"You ain got no reason to be mad"

I looked at him some type of way

"Christian you got my best friend pregnant. And on top of that you ain even acknowledging the baby. Who the fuck does that and why? I knew you could be capable of a lot of things but being a dead beat.. that's the final straw"

"I ain no fuckin deadbeat. I told that girl ion need no baby runnin around so if she chose to keep it that's on her"

"Really?! That's how you feel? You knew the consequences of unprotected sex but unlike you, she has to face the results of her actions. While you out here fucking anything with a pussy and a pulse and living your best life SHE working nonstop while keeping her grades up to have a great life for her and this baby. And you already know how much people already bullied her at school and this didn't make it any better."

"So you think I'm supposed to stay around for a baby ion want?"

"And you think she wanted him too?! No I'm not saying stay around but DAMN! If Tremaine wasn't there for her she'd probably feel like she was in this alone. He goes to doctors appointments with her if her mom and aunt can't make it, he buys the baby clothes, diapers, shit he even helped with her baby shower the other week and all you gave was your ass to kiss. And no matter how hard you wanna believe that it's not your baby, truth is you gonna have a whole child walking on the earth soon.. you need to do better"

He kissed his teeth and I walked out of the room to go back into mine

Egypt Hoskins

2:34 pm

"Egypt" my mom called my name as I sat back on the chair rubbing my stomach. As she walked into the living room I couldn't help but notice she was dressed in a nice pair of jeans with a white T-shirt and her hair pulled back into a low ponytail "you don't want me to drop you off at Akira's for Christian's graduation party?"

I shook my head and let out a breath before talking

"No. I really don't feel good"

"You sitting right on your due date. I bet you don't" she reached down and pressed on my stomach all over
