ZAYN'S POV💙:
"A boyfriend? He fuck better than me"?
Jamaya laughs "I wouldn't know, I haven't him fucked yet".
"You better not".
"Or what? You're not the boss of me, and last time I check you not my nigga".
"Okay, but you better not have that nigga around my daughter".
"Boy I have my daughter around forever, and besides you just now coming into her life. Aries loves Zi".
"Zi? Who the fuck is Zi"?
"Don't worry bout it, but what you need to do is get the fuck out . I have school in the morning".
"Man, whatever! Who's going to watch Ari"?
"My momma".
"Why can't I watch her"?
"You're never here".
"Well I'm here now. Just give me a chance . Let me watch her tomorrow and if you don't like it then I won't say shit about your ways".
"Ugh, fine Zay".
"Okay, now where am I sleeping"?
"THE COUCH, GOODNIGHT"!
"Damn, that's how it is".

She flicks me off and walks away. I hop on the couch and turn the TV on. I put on power and dozed off. I woke up to her mushing me in my face.

"Maya, what the fuck are you doing"?
"Trying to wake yo ass up, I gotta go to college".

She handed me Ari and she was wide awake. Maya handed me her bottle and left. I fed Aries until she fell asleep again. I got up and looked in her pantry and pulled out some fruity pebbles. Maya stayed having fruity pebbles, they damn near were her favorite cereal.

Six hours later she finally came back and the baby was still asleep. She picks Ari up from my arms and kisses her on her forehead. She put her back in her crib and shut the door behind her.

"Thank you for watching Aries".
"You're welcome".

She opened the front door signaling me to leave. Instead of walking out, I grabbed her hand.

"Zay, what the fuck are you doing"?
"I want us to be a family again".
"A family? Did you miss the part where I said I had a boyfriend named Zi"?
"I don't give a fuck, he not me"!
"You're right! Because he doesn't fuck my mom and get her pregnant".
"I didn't fuck your mom".
"You did dumb fuck . Leslie is my real mom you sick bastard".

My mouth dropped. I think I should go.

ISIAH POV 🩵:
It was the first day of college I saw a girl and she looked stunning. Nice shape, fat lips. I gotta know her I thought to myself. When I noticed we were entering the same classroom, I sat next to her.

"My name is Isiah, Can get your name"?
She rolled her eyes at me "It's Jamaya".
"So what's your Major"?
"English, yours"?
"Human sexuality".

She started laughing at me.
"Is that even a real thing or are you just trying to be funny"?
"Nah I don't think it's a real thing, but can I get your number"?
"Can you pay a bill".

I laughed.
"I can actually, you take Cash App or Zelle"?
"Both".
"What's your user den shawty"?
"Slimedoll. J".
I sent her sixteen hundred, I figured it paid the rent".

She smirked, I think you would do it. She took my phone out of my hand and put in her number.

"Thank you, Shorty".

After the professor walked in we stopped talking. She was so beautiful I could barely pay attention. It didn't even matter because it was just the first day. When the class ended I stopped her before she got in her car.

"Can I take you out"?
"When"?
"Whenever you free".
"I'm free right now"?
"Okay let's go to Cali Cafe".
She laughs and says "Okay".
I wondered why she was laughing.

When we got there we got seated at table number four. We ordered our drinks and food and started a conversation.

"If you don't mind me asking what high school did you go to"?
"Oceanside High, you"?
"North Hollywood".
She chuckled "Oh your boujee".
"Nah I just got money".
"Soo your boujeee", she said chuckling.

Her smile was out of this world and so beautiful. I wanted her to be mine, but I wanted to get to know her.

"Okay so I guess I'm boujee, but it sounds about feminine as hell".

She laughs and says "You funny".
"Thank you, and your beautiful".
She smiles.

"I have a daughter".
"Do you"?
"Yeah, she's one".
"Awh well, congratulations".
"Thanks".

I know what she was thinking I was probably going to bail, but I wasn't. She and her daughter deserve nothing but the world. Along with the moon and the stars. She showed me pictures of her and she was beautiful kind of reminding me of some family I had in Beverly Hills.

I never talked to that side of my family because we never really got along, but either way, we were chilled I guess you could say.

FOUR MONTHS LATER ...
AMIRA POV💜:
I was feeling sick, I felt as if I had a stomach bug because I couldn't stop throwing up. My dad knocked on the door and asked if I was okay but I couldn't speak back because it wouldn't stop. He finally opened the door and pulled my hair back.

When it finally stopped he asked again.
"Are you okay Mija"?
"Yeah, I think I have a stomach bug".
"Okay, I'm going to go make some soup".

As soon as he said soup and proceeded again. I hated the word soup, it was like I could taste it already. I took the car and went to Family Dollar and got the dollar pregnancy test. I bought it and stopped at Wendy's and peed on the stick.

I flipped it over and closed my eyes praying to god it said 'negative'. After about five minutes I flipped it back over and it had two bold red lines. I started to cry because I wasn't ready for a baby. This mother shit just wasn't in me, after my mother did what she did to me. Luckily she showed me what type of mother I wasn't going to be.
