Save Me

Two Weeks Later...

Me and Zaria have officially moved into Jahseh's room.

He won't let me give him his space and peace. I tell him he's gonna want us to move back into my room, but he claims he likes having the company or whatever. I lay on his bed, Zaria between us as we make faces, making her laugh. I glance up at Jahseh and laugh loudly as the face he made was ridiculous.

"Really?" I keep laughing and he looks up at me.

"What!?" He exclaims and I just shake my head, ignoring his confused act.

"You're just so cute." I tease and his face heats up.

"Stop." He mumbles and I giggle, running a hand through his hair. He leans in and I meet him halfway, kissing him passionately, suddenly Zaria squeals loudly and we pull back as she looks at us both weird. We laugh and snap our heads towards Jahseh's door as someone knocks on it.

"Come in!" He shouts, and he turns back around, looking down at Zaria, but I keep looking at the door and my eyes widen as Trevor walks in, followed by Geneva. They both look awkward and out of place and I tap Jahseh's nose, nodding behind him. He looks over his shoulder and I know he's glaring at them.

"Why are they here?" He growls and I honestly don't even know, but he sits up, unintentionally hiding Zaria from their view. Geneva looks around with a pained expression as me and Zaria's clothes lay around in his room, obviously showing we stay in here now. She glanced at Jahseh, and I can still see the feelings she has for him still, which slightly scares me.

"Hey um... I remember you texting me that you had the baby, and I wanted to come and visit. You know? Make sure you guys were alright." He runs a hand through his hair and I smiled.

"Thank you." I say and Geneva sighs.

"And I um... wanted to come too and apologize, to the both of you." She looks mostly at Jahseh, but he's looking at me, giving me a look that's saying 'make them leave' but I ignore him.

"Again, thanks." I mumble and she nods.

"Welcome. Jah?" She tilts her head and he looks over at her.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." She says and he nods.

"Aight. I appreciate your apology, but it still doesn't change how I feel about you. You absolutely still disgust me and I have no feelings for you anymore, whatsoever. I just want to make that clear." He says plainly and I flinch, feeling pain from his words and they aren't even directed at me. She nods numbly and Trevor grabs her hand.

"Well, it's a good thing we're trying this." He squeezes her hand and Jahseh chuckles lightly.

"I hope it works out for you both." He says and I nod.

"Me too. You both deserve to be happy." I say honestly and they smile.

"So, where's the baby?" Trevor questions and I look down at Zaria, whose face is scrunching up as she's about to cry.

She doesn't like to be ignored for too long.

I quickly pick her up and she relaxes in my arms, immediately looking around. I look over at Trevor and Geneva and they both looked shocked.

"You had a girl." Trevor points out the obvious and I smiled.

"Her name is Zaria Claire Onfroy." I turn her around and I notice Geneva frown a little as I say Jahseh's last name. Trevor walks forward.

"Can I hold her?" He smiled softly and I nod.

"Sure. You want to hold her too?" I look over at Geneva and she shrugs.
