Eternal Sunshine

Brave - 2

I smiled, "I'll see you later Tee, don't get yourself into no trouble boo!" I said as we shared a laugh together.

"You already know I am bitch!" Tee said through her laughter.

I shook my head and smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow morning." I said as I walked out of my job.

I worked in a retail store, I love fashion. I dress different but I like it. People tend to call me a hipster, but whatever.

I walked towards my mother car and jumped in, I sat in the driver seat before driving off, I sighed.

"I got to get myself a car.... seriously." I said to myself out loud.

I'm two months pregnant now but I'm not really showing yet. I haven't been to Mrs. Lee since last week. I go every other week to see her so she can know what's been up and how I been coping. I have been going to her since I found out I was pregnant.

"Mommy loves you... Daddy loves you too. He just doesn't know it yet." I said to my tummy, I started the car up and was on my way to my mothers' house.

I played Jhene Aiko album Souled Out as I drove towards my mother house, I love Jhene. She always touches my heart with her music, I love that.

After about 25 minutes of driving I finally arrived at my destination, I drove into the driveway and cut the car off.

I groaned before getting out her car because I see my sister and brother car outside, I knew for a fact that they were going to attack me with questions about where I've been. I had to prepare myself for what was coming at me, I just don't want to stress myself because I'm carrying a child but they asses stress me out when I'm around them.

I used the key on her key ring and let myself in, I walked straight to the kitchen. As soon as my bag hit the counter, my sister Belair came at me with endless questions. I rolled my eyes before turning around to her face, I did a fake smile.

"Well... hello to you too, Belair." I said as I leaned against the counter.

"Where have you been? Momma told me you haven't been staying here? And, then Mark told me that you weren't staying with them!!! Are you staying with Trey or something? Where have you been Rosè?" She started stressing me out by saying all this at once.

I rolled my eyes and threw my head back, "Bruh... I'm not staying with Trey. And, I don't want to stay with your annoying ass brother whose always up my ass about some dumb shit." I said as I lift my head back up to look at her.

"I heard that little girl." Mark said as he came into the kitchen.

"I don't give a fuck, it wasn't supposed to be a secret nigga." I said, I went towards the fridge and grabbed the leftovers so I could make myself something to eat. I was starving because of this little munchkin in my tummy.

"Don't play with me, little girl." Mark said, "Plus, you need to tell everyone where you're staying. I went by Trey house and he said he hadn't spoken to you in two months." He stopped talking for a minute.

I looked up at him, "Why you stop? You were all up in my business, so what made you stop? Oh, maybe because you slipped up and said some shit you wasn't suppose to say." I said.

"Why haven't you been talking to him?" Mark asked, I seen where he was going with this.

"None of your business." I said as I smiled and put the rest of the food away.

"C'mon Baby, you know you can tell me." Mark said and I looked at him weird because he called me the nickname that they gave me because I was the youngest.

"No I can't, you'll find out like everyone else is going to find out." I said, I walked over to the microwave and put my food in so it could warm up. I leaned on the counter and looked at Mark, "Where did Belair disappear to?" I asked.

Mark shrugged his shoulders, "I have no idea, you know how she gets when you're being rude to her. She just went back upstairs to momma room." He said.

"Oh well, she needs to stop being annoying. Both of y'all need to stop it, y'all be stressing me out when y'all want to ask a million and ten questions." I said.

My food was done and I grabbed it out the microwave. I began walking to the dining table with Mark on my ass following me.

I sat down and started eating, he kept being annoying and took a seat in front of me. I continued eating ignoring his stupid ass, I heard the front door being knocked on.

Mark sat there, "Yo, go get the door and get out my fücking face." I said to him.

He laughed and got up to get the door.

"Annoying ass." I said under my breath.

I finished my food up in peace, I had to hurry up because I had to go get momma from work.

I got up from the table and went to put my dish in the sink. I wondered who was at the door, Mark annoying ass left me alone finally. Grateful for whoever that was.

I shrugged and just grabbed my bag off the counter so I could leave.

I walk towards the front door and opened it.

"Rosè... I um.. Wassup." He said to me, I didn't want to be rude to him but I'm just not in the mood for him.

"Back the fuck off Trey." I said to him and walked passed him to the car.

"Why haven't I seen you? Why you didn't come back home?" He said as he grabbed my wrist.

I calmed myself before I killed him with my bare hands in this driveway, I turned around to him.

"I'll get momma to drop me off after I pick her up, now get the fuck off me before I murder you right here." I said calmly.

He let go of my wrist, "You betta be there... I'll be waiting." He said before he walked off to his car, he got in and drove off.

I just watched him leave before I got in the car and left myself.

With the words replaying in my head, 'Why didn't you come back home?'

A tear rolled down my cheek, he knows what to say to me to get me running back.

That's not my home if you had a bitch that was my best friend staying at your place and y'all making love and shit in the bed where you want me to sleep.

That's his home, not mines.
