The Next Evening, Javon's House
Brandon's Perspective

"Man I've never seen Switch so angry, I thought he was gonna punch her belly." Javon says.

When I got here last night, Aaron was being held down by Javon and Miles. Apparently he stormed here after walking in on Justine in the bathroom and seeing her small, yet clearly round belly. She'd been acting shifty for months, so he knew there was something wrong with her anyway. He asked if it was a food baby or a real baby, to which she simply began crying in response.

I shake my head, "It's mad."

Javon nods, "Yeah man, a whole Justine. She's the last one I'd expect, always been the quieter one." Not a saint, but you get it.

"Fam, where did she even find the time? If she's not with the girls, Switch has her on smash."

"Yeah but I swear she chilled with them thots that setup Tash?"

I raise my eyebrows in surprise.

Rah, that's true you know. Didn't think of that. She's the one that brought Felicia to the yard.... nah, nah I'm being dumb. Not Justine. That was a coincidence. We would know if she was active. Her name would be about on ends.

"Yeah but she ain't a hoe, it's a one off. She just got unlucky. You know how Daniel was anyway, fucking rabbit." I say.

We put 2 and 2 together and realised it had to be Daniel's. He said he got a Justine pregnant, we just assumed it couldn't be ours.

Javon chuckles a bit then sighs, "True, probably went over to get something n got distracted."

I chuckle a bit then start shaking my head, deeping it.

...Daniel violated you know.

He's my boy and I'll always love him, but what the fuck was he doing with Switch's little sister?

"I can't lie, he was wrong for that still." I say.

Javon scoffs, "Switch would've banged him if he was here. We warned you man about going near the girls man. You can save that bullshit for other people's daughters."

"Yeah, I dunno what he was thinking man." I shake my head.

Javon kisses his teeth, "He weren't thinking at all. You lot don't listen man, we didn't even want you man to chill with them. Fucks sake."

"I hear that. I ain't gonna do Kyrah like Justine though, I'm not stupid." Straight rubber.

He scoffs, "Stop chatting shit, I know you man have piped already."

I frown, "Mum's life we haven't." I wish we had. She's been through a lot though, so I don't wanna do anything until she's ready. Her mental affiliations with sex are all traumatic. I wanna change that.

"Stop lying, I know you have."

"Fam, ask Rakz, any of the mandem." I say, "I would've told you first anyways."

He scoffs, "nearly a year and you haven't beat? You must see dickead on my forehead."

6 months actually.

I kiss my teeth, "I'm not lying g, I'm taking it slow. I told you man I'm serious about her."

"Even if you ain't lying, you're gonna do it soon. Then what? You forgetting you hate jimmys? A1 pullout game bro." He mocks my voice at the end, then scoffs and shakes his head, "Just leave her alone man."

I kiss my teeth, "Why you flipping this on me?"

He scoffs. "Coz Daniel proved you man can't be trusted. We told you they're off limits, and both of you still went there. Even when we told you not to bring them round RB you didn't listen." He kisses his teeth.
