A GIRL LIKE ME

•Chapter 24

Three weeks later , Jayde and Julian finally found the perfect land to start building their dream home.
"I think ima call it the Wonderland Palace." Julian said as he strapped the kids in to their car seats.

"Our house is going to be The King Retreat." Jayde said getting into the car.

"That sounds fire actually. Wait— You makin yourself Mrs.King?" He smirked getting into the car starting the engine.

"Yeah. I'd love to be Mrs.King." She smirked.

"We gotta make that happen then." He kissed her cheek , before pulling off to go home.

On their way , Jayde got a call from Serene and she didn't sound so happy at all.

"Jayde, bestie I need you. Can I come over please?" Serene said , sounding like she'd been crying for hours.

"Yes. Of course. Serene what's wrong?" Jayde said sounding really concerned.

"I'll explain everything when I get there."

Once Serene arrived , she couldn't get her words out without crying. Jayde held her in her arms , rubbing her back until she was ready to talk. Eventually she was able to talk again making sniffles after every word. "I'm pregnant, again."

"Really sista? Why are you crying? Do you not want to get pregnant?" Jayde asked , trying to get to the bottom of it.

"It's not that." She began to cry again, feeling so ashamed to tell her best friend anything.

"What is it then sista?"

"It's Rick's." Serene whispered looking into Jayde's eyes. They stared at each other for a moment before either one of them spoke.
"I have to get rid of it before Davon finds out." Serene said.

"Are you sure? You don't believe in abortions though."

"I know but I don't want Davon to know me as this hoe. I still love him and I will do whatever it takes to keep him Jayde. I can't let him go. He's my everything!" She said crying , trying to hold it in but she was just so upset.

"We're gonna figure this out bestie. Just know you're not alone. You can stay at my house until you figure things out. I'll give you the spare key." Jayde said trying to be supportive even though she was a bit disappointed in her.

"Thank you so much. Im forever in debt to you. I love you so much." Serene said trying to get herself together.

"I love you too. You and Spirit can stay here tonight. You shouldn't be driving with these puffy eyes girl. I can put her in the nursery with Jace and Serenity."

"Okay. Thank you again , so much." She said making her way to the guest room.

Jayde took Spirit and laid her in the extra bassinet in the nursery , kissing the baby after making sure she was in a comfortable position.

Jayde made her way to Julian's bed room , getting under the covers. "So she stayin' here?" Julian asked looking at Jayde with a blank stare.

"Only for tonight. She will be going to my house in the morning."

"So that shit was true?"

"What do you mean?" Jayde asked sitting back up against the headboard.

"She was fuckin' with that Rick nigga?" He asked with a grin on his face.

"Why am I the last to find this out? How do you know?"

"The barbershop Niggas be gossipin'."

"Yes it's true and she's pregnant and she thinks it's Rick's." Jayde deeply sighed.
