MALEAH

11:45 AM

"I TOLD YOU WE'D BE DRESSED BEFORE YOU!" I scream while jumping up and down in Blakes room. "What's your cash app?" He sighs. "Uhhhh you got it, don't play new" I say walking out of his room. "Wow, you are showing majorrrrr" Jaden says getting a good look at me. "Stoppp... I know" I whine. "You look pretty Mal" He smiles. "Awe Jaden... Thank you" I say while hugging him. "No problem, now never touch me with that thing again" He says pointing to my stomach. My jaw dropped. "Leave my stomach alone" I say rubbing it. "There's a human growing inside of you. Your stomach is no longer a stomach it is a machine." He says. "I- is... You think thats how pregnancy works?" I ask confused. "Actually dont answer that." I say stopping him from answering. 

I walked down to the kitchen and Griffin, Kio, Vinnie and Noah were in the kitchen. "Wow." Griffin says looking at me. "Wow!" I say mocking him. "How do you feel?" He asked. I gave him a thumbs up. "Bull..." Noah says. "You're right. Im not. Im baby-sitting your boy when it's not my job." I snap at him. Noah looked at me and nudged his head to the living room. I sighed and walked to the living room with him. "What the fuck just happened?" Vinnie asked. "Welcome to Sway my boy..." I hear Griffin says.

"What is your issue with me? This is my first time seeing you since the move, you ignore my calls, you don't talk to me anymore Maleah!" He yells. "Well you should've thought about that before you knew Bryce didn't love me." I say looking at him. He looked at me and sighed. "I didn't know to tell you..." He says. "Doesn't matter...I could've taken care of it. I wouldn't be in the position im in now... I could be as far away from him, all of this, you guys would've been cool, I would've been cool. We wouldn't have to play nice to each other every time that fucking door opened." I say with tears in my eyes. "Would it though Maleah? I wouldn't be able to bare the fact that I let my best friend go because of a douche. Yes Bryce is a douche. Let me ask you this.... Why did you let him in the other night?" He asks. My heart dropped. Why the fuck would he tell them that he came over. Nobody but Blake has been over and I was working up my confidence to finally talk to Noah... But here we are. 

"That's none of your business" I say. "Right, because you still love him. Wake up Maleah! He doesn't love you back. You know it! I know! I think the whole world knows it because who is he with right now? Addison." He says. I didn't say anything because he's right. He started to walk away but he stopped and turned around. "Yanno, you won't have to ignore my calls or texts because... I'm done" He says. I covered my mouth. "Noah wait..." I say. "DONE! Maleah..." He says putting his hand up. Wow... I can't believe what just happened. "Hey... I heard everything..." Bryce says from behind me. I turned around. "Oh, good" I say sitting on the couch. 

"What he said is true. Why do you love me Maleah?" He says. I looked at him and shook my head. "I don't know... Why did you come to my house?" I ask. "Because, you're the only one who knew how to properly clean a scar or two... Now, I can give you a straight answer. Can you give me one?"He asks nicely while sitting next to me. I looked away from him. "Because for once I thought I was in love with someone else other than the same boys I hung around my whole life. I got played. Now I look stupid carrying a child to a guy who thinks im just as stupid as him" I say. "I don't think you're stupid.Im the stupid one for putting you through this. I'm sorry for what I did. But I cannot take back the past."He says. He gaslights so much it makes no sense. "Does she make you happy?" I ask him. He stayed silent. I nodded and got off the couch. "By the answer of that I've decided to raise this baby on my own with Mary. You don't even have to know that the baby is even known. After today you won't have to see me again Bryce." I say bending down and looking at him face to face.

MARY

"Do we talk to her?" Blake asks me. "No, not yet. She's enjoying this trip almost as Gianna is... let her go off when she's ready" I say. "I'm scared" He says. "Don't be, she's pregnant. She's limited to fewer things to do now" I laughed while hugging him. I saw Noah in the corner of my eye. "Hey, were you downstairs when he and her were arguing?" I say pointing at Noah and Maleah. "Uhhh, no. I was getting ready." He says. I smacked my lips and looked at him. "You really set yourself up to lose..." I say walking over to Noah. 

"What? Since you and Mal are arguing means we can't talk?" I say running into him. He laughed. "I didn't think it would be right" He says. "You guys are so white it makes no sense..." I sigh. "Mary!" Blake yells. "Fuck, sorry. You guys are so... respectful" I say changing the word. "Thank... You?" He says "Well, this is what im saying.... Fuck her, she's in a hormonal state and we don't know when she's gonna snap, or cry like a little bitch... What happened?" I say getting to the point. "I love her Mary."  He says. My eyes widened. "Y-Y-Y-You what?" I say smiling. "Nobody can know Mary. I purposely cut her off to try to remove myself from her... to get this feeling away." He says. I covered my mouth with my hand. "I can't keep this to myself I have to tell someone" I say rubbing my chin. "Mary, nobody can know" He says grabbing my arms and shaking me. "Oh my god okay" I say catching my balance. 

I walked away over to Maleah and Gianna. "You guys look so cute, let me take your guys' picture" I say pulling out my phone. I'm actually proud of my best friend. She's financially stable, has a nice roof over her head, a beautiful daughter and a new born on the way. Yeah, Bryce is a dick. But you really don't need the mom and the dad there for a baby. My mom did it. Maybe he'll come back like my dad did. Or not because Bryce is an asshole. "How are you enjoying Disney Angel?" I ask while bending down to Gianna's height. "I love it!" She screams. I laughed. "What were you and Noah talking about?" Maleah asks. I froze. Think Mary, think. "He was scared... because he didn't think it was right for me talking to him when im your best friend." I say. "And what did you say? Fuck me?" She says. "Duh, but I think its fair for me to keep my distance" I say. "I don't care what you do Mary. You live your life sis. Your boyfriend is part of sway, gotta learn to just deal with them." She shrugs. "Yeah? Why are aren't you?" I ask. She stopped and looked at me. "Because my time is up" She says picking up and Gianna and walking away. 

"What was that about?"Blake says behind me. "Um, she's... not coming back to the house. She's done with you guys..." I say. His eyes widen. "Oh no baby not you, you come with me. Plus I live with her" I say laughing and linking arms with him. "I was about to say, if I don't see my boo with in a twenty four hour window... I think a little of me breaks off..." He says touching his heart. I pouted. "You are so cute it makes no sense" I say kissing him. He wrapped his arms around me and smiled into the kiss. "I love you Mary" He says looking at me. I smiled and kissed him again. "I love you too Blake" I say hugging him.

BRYCE

"You're not gonna let her raise that baby on her own dude." Josh says. "Why not? She seemed very clear when she said it." I say. "So you don't wanna know or meet the little one when they're born? I would that's your first child dude." He says. "I know, but-" "No buts dude, you're gonna grow up and take care of this baby. You do love her even though you don't right now. You knew what you were doing. You wanted her. You got her pregnant so she can stay around you. She's not stupid Bryce." Josh says calling me out. "You're right." I say. "Stop saying im fucking right and do something about it." He says. "I will." I say. "When? When you're bored with Addison?" He says. I punched him. "Dude its not like that" I say punching him again. "Then why are you tryna fight me dude" He says trying to grab my hands. "Because you're a dick." I say. "Oh im the dick? SAYS THE ONE TRYING TO FIGHT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF DISNEYLAND." He yells. "Bryce just go home, clearly you can't go one day without drinking." Griffin says handing me his keys. "How will you get home?" I ask. He looked at me. "Get out of here dude." He says. 

I started to walk off and I saw Gianna and Maleah. They looked like they we're enjoying theirselves. I do miss Maleah, but don't miss the controlling that comes with her. I just know that putting me with a new born isn't gonna mix well. I wanna be there for her but im no good shape to be with anyone right now.
