Secrets Exposed

ZAYNE POV 💙:
Kairo shot at me and missed but when I looked down I was bleeding. This nigga grazed me I said out loud. My Aunt Emma yelled at Kairo "Get the fuck out Kai now". Kai went out the front door and my aunt put me in her back seat and drove me to the hospital.

The doctors admitted me and patched up my wound. An officer approached me and started questioning me about what happened.

"My name is Officer Wallace, do you know who tried to kill you ? This is attempted murder".

"Nobody tried to kill me. I was just in the middle of a shootout. Shit happens", I said to the officer.

"Okay sir, and do you want to press charges".

"No".

"Um ma'am am I done? I'm ready to get the fuck out".

"Yes sir you are, I just got someone to sign your discharge paper . We sent you some ibuprofen to your nearest pharmacy, and sir you are free to go".

I left and went to hang out with KP & LJ. I told them what happened. They were more surprised than I ever was. I knew I was wrong for sleeping with his ex-girlfriend, but I honestly didn't know until the last minute. A part of me should've said something when he showed me a picture of her. I knew I hurt him because I knew before they broke up they were together for years. I just never saw her.

We smoked a blunt and the homies told me congratulations on my daughter. I wanted to her so I called up JaMaya. It went straight to voicemail. Did this bitch block me?

I looked up her social media and it said "user not found", what the fuck. How the hell was I going to check up on my baby? This bitch got me fucked up.

I didn't go over to her crib because I just had a feeling that she was going to call the police. So I just stayed in the circle with my friends. It got late out so I went back to my aunt's house. I fell asleep on the couch until Leslie called me telling me she was going to Labor.

So I pulled up to the hospital ready to see my little boy born. I was holding her legs helping her push until I saw my son's head. My son was beautiful. When she finally pushed him out I heard his little cry that sounded exactly like my daughter. I kissed Leslie on the lips, excited to have a little me.

Amira entered the room looking all confused at me.

"What the fuck are you doing here"?
I looked at her and I didn't want to tell her, so I looked down.

"Wait. Wait. Please tell me that this ain't yo baby Zay", she said with tears falling down her face.

I felt so bad because all my dirt was coming to the light. I couldn't do anything but break down with her.

"Zay please tell me you ain't fuck my mom".

"I'm so fucking sorry Mira, I was going to tell you". She smacked me so hard that it stung. She left the room slamming the door. Her mom was crying because she know she betrayed her daughter by fucking me.

I cut the umbilical cord and held my son. Welcome to the world "Santiago Pentega Trago". I kissed him on his forehead and rocked him back and forth to sleep. While Leslie signed all the papers. I knew I destroyed Amira, Jamaya & Kairo with my actions.

MEME POV💛:
Since Jamaya was technically grown now I decided she should know the truth. So I went into her room and woke her up from her sleep.

"Maya".
"Hmm".
"I need to talk to you".
"Okay about"?
"I need to tell you the truth".
"The truth about what? Just say it"!
"I'm your auntie ".
"Huh? You my what? Momma can you please stop joking? I'm trying to sleep".
"I'm serious. Your real mom's name is Leslie".

I pulled out a picture of her as a baby with her real mom holding her. She took the picture from my hand and tears rolled down her face. "And you kept this from me all this time", she said breaking down.

"Baby I wanted to tell you but it was just too hard".
"Is this why you were drinking? Because of me"?

"No Maya of course not. Your mom just wasn't ready to have you. Both Paris and Leslie were just 15. They were young so I stepped up, but then she got pregnant again with somebody else baby at 16 and I wasn't about to raise her second child".

She was quiet. She seemed numb but asked me one single question.

"Who is my younger sister? What is her name"?
"Amira Perez".

"WHAT! ZAYNE GIRLFRIEND AMIRA".
"Yes".
"WERE RELATED"?
"Yes".
"DOES SHE KNOWS".
"I don't know, and that isn't my place".
