MALEAH

FRIDAY

I sat in the chair next to Gianna and she didn't look bad but she did have a huge stitched scar cutting through her eyebrow up to her hair line.

"Mommy?" Gianna says waking up. "Yes boo?" I say looking at her. "I'm hungry." She whines. "Okay one second." I say getting up. The door opened up and it was Blake and Mary with Mcdonalds. My eyes widened because I was kinda surprised they were here. "My boo is hurt and you're carrying my god child... they both need to eat." Mary says throwing a bag at me. "I love you too." I smile.

"Any news about when you guys can leave?" Blake asks. "Tomorrow, theyre gonna keep her for a another night just make sure she's okay." I say handing her a hash brown. "How are you?" Mary asks me. I shook my head as i opened a sausage McMuffin. "Hanging in there." I say taking a bite. Mary looked at me and she knew that we still have something to settle after yesterday. "Blake can you get my drink from the car?" She says handing him the keys. "Yeah..." He says getting up and walking out. She looked at me. "Oh! Gi here's pancakes ill be back." I say cutting up her pancakes and walking to the bathroom with Mary.

I sat on the toilet and and she on the floor... "Theres no where else to sit shut up." She says leaning up against the wall. I laughed and shook my head. It was an awkward silence between us. There was something there and I don't know what it is. "Whats really going on?" Mary says breaking the silence. "I don't know what's gonna set you off or start a feud with you..." She adds on. "This is the only big fight we had in a while?" I say. "What im trying to say is I wanna be there for you and for the baby but we have been connected at the hip for almost a year. And im staying at sway for a while." She says. I got off the toilet and sat next to her on the floor. "Are you breaking up with me?" I say looking at her. She laughed. "More like a separation before one of us kills each other." She says. "Facts." I laughed. "You gonna be okay?" She asks. "Yeah of course ill be home nearly all day I have nothing else to do but be with Gianna." I say getting up. "Please fucking eat." She says in a serious tone. "Oh my god mom I will." I say leaning back. 

Mary and I walked out the bathroom and Blake looked at us. "Girl talk." I say pointing at us. "Without me?!" He yells. "Duh, youre not a girl bird brain" I say sitting down. "Always around three of them..." He mumbles. "You love us." Mary says. He looked at her with his eyebrows raised. "Yeah okay." He laughs. "Only Gianna, she doesn't be mean to me." He says. I flipped him off. "Hows Sway?" I asked. "Still pushing it." He says. I nodded. "Come- Blake!" I cut him off as I put my index finger up. "Mal please!" He begs. "NO! Mary and I are gonna be separated starting tomorrow and I have her and that gives me time to plan her birthday party." I say putting my feet up on the bed. "What about after your son is born." He says. "Blake im not having a son and No!" I say shaking my head. "Im calling boy and fine be that way!" He says betting and giving up.

"Do we have a new bet coming up?"Mary gasp. "No/ Yes!" Blake and I scream. "But this time all the bets go into a trust fund for the baby because our babies don't go broke around here." Mary says. My mouth dropped because thats actually pretty good. "I love that" I say. "Wait Gianna has a bank account?" Blake asks. I nodded. "Yup, started with fifty thousand, increases every year, and cant touch it until she's sixteen." I say still nodding. "Dang bestie you finna be big balling out there!" Blake says smiling at Gianna which made her laugh.  "We gotta tell the boys." Mary says. "Tell the boys what?" Griffin says walking in with.... the boys. "we have a new bet." I say. "What is it?" He says hugging me whited followed by all the boys hugging me.... besides Noah. "The baby's gender. A hundred for girl, and a hundred for boy but all the money goes into the baby's savings account Maleah's gonna open for them." Mary says explaining it to them. "That baby is finna be so rich." Kio says. "My bestie Gianna already up there with fifty k in her shits already." Blake brags. They all looked at me. I put my hands up in defense and shrugged. "We never broke around here my dudes." I laughed. "we peeped my dude" Josh says pushing me.

 "Whats up? Why yall here?" I questioned them. "Were bored." Vinnie says. "You really joined this shit show?" I ask him with wide eyes. He shook his head. "Im at hype but this seems fun, I like a little chaos in my life." He shrugged. "yeah, you at the right house." I nodded. "Plus we miss you." Kio says. I gave them a fake warm smile and nodded because I couldn't say the same to be honest. "Yeah ditto." I say playing with my zipper. It was an awkward silence between all of us. "Awkward..." Jaden says. "Okay, were gonna give Noah and Maleah the room because thats why were here." Griffin says. My heart dropped and I looked at Mary. "I dunno I was sleep." Mary shrugged. Everyone walked out  and it was just me, Noah and Gianna. I really cannot get rid of these boys even if I fled the country. Tried to move... Didn't work.

"I thought you were done with me?" I say not looking at him. "Yeah, but clearly I can't be." He says still standing by the door. I laughed. "Yeah I see." I say looking at him fully. The boys had a party and he was hungover... He lost a bet he's forced to say something. "You lost a bet?" I say turning my head. "Wha- No? why would you ever say that?" He says getting defensive. "Woah dude I asked a small question not your social security numbers?" I say putting my hands up and walking over to the sink. "Okay fine I did lose a bet." He says. I turned around and leaned on the edge. "And it was?" I say folding my arms. He took a deep breath and looked at me. "To finally  tell you that I love you." He says. My heart dropped, my eyes widened and I looked back and forth between Noah and Gianna. I rubbed my face because I cant do this right now, but I know I have to because if I dont do it now it'll never be finished. "Uhh, bathroom." I say walking to the bathroom with him.

"Are you okay?" The first thing he asks me. "Am I okay? AM. I. OKAY.? REALLY THATS THE FIRST THING YOU ASK ME? No Noah I am not okay because first you read me like a fucking book, tell me to dont fucking call you ever and then you pop up and tell me you love me. No Noah! I. AM. NOT. OKAY!" I yell. "Maleah I am sorry! I didn't tell you sooner." He apologized. I looked at him with tears forming in my eyes. "But I tried to stop being around you to try to avoid any of this because I didn't want my emotions to effect our friendship and-" I cut him off by kissing him because homeboy was freaking out and I couldn't take it anymore. Noah broke off the kiss and we looked at each other. "I hate to ruin this but im dating Dixie..." He says. My first reaction was to smack him... and I did. "You idiot!" I yell. "Thats why im here! I just wanted to finally get that off my chest!" He yells. "Why?! Did it matter if you have another girlfriend? Noah... If im still somehow on your mind... Don't get another girl to fool around with while still seeing me. You could've texted me and I wouldn't have kissed you." I say. "Well, looks like we've both done something stupid today." He sighs. I nodded. "Besties?" He says holding out his hand. I looked at him and then his hand. "No, I still hate you." I say walking out the bathroom.
