One Week Later
Crystal's POV
The Dna results were in the mail today. Truth be told I was stalling when it came to opening the envelope. I hadn't had sex with Nick since I found out I was pregnant because honestly I was just going to write it out of my memory. I needed Jace to be the father. So, not only am I pregnant if the baby is Nick's I'm going to face a lot of backlash.
I didn't want to get the test but Jace informed me that he would do loads of research just to take me to court. Which is fair. None of this would even be happening if Ellie didn't come around. I'm light skin with good hair and Jace was brown skin with good hair.. If the baby would've come out a little yella I don't think anybody would've questioned it.
At this point the whole metropolitan area knew our business. The video of Jace and Nick literally was floating around the internet. Tiktok, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram you name it. Of course Nick and I were made out to be the villain in all of this when everyone was truly in the wrong. But, the person getting the most hate was me. As an athlete it's like when we make a mistake in our personal life it affects our professional future and I hated that for all of us.
The results were in hand as I just stared at it. I stared at it as if that would help solidify Jace as the father genetically. I had my mind made up. If the results were not to go as planned I was going to move and get the fuck. Because all drama aside, The baby was most important.
I finally brought myself to open the results. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath before looking at the results. I glanced over the whole test looking for the star sentence.
"The probability of paternity is 0%."
Fuck.

Jace's POV
I felt like I've been blowing Ellie up for years and none of my messages were going through at all. So I'm guessing I was blocked. I don't even know why, but it was frustrating. Then CJ was literally no help at all. I would ask him if and what I did to upset her and He'd just say he doesn't know she hasn't spoken about it.
As far as Crystal ass, boy oh boy was I on her head some serious. How you gone get mad at me about a hug and slap me about a kiss and you've been fucking the bro for MONTHS. I have never been so deep in my thoughts in the 18 years I've been on the earth. My thoughts were interrupted by a text.
Lately I've been so quick to pick up my phone when it goes off just hoping it's Ellie. The way she bout to make me act crazy and pull up on her. Don't kiss me like that then ghost me she got a nigga literally begging for a text back. I looked at my phone and to my dismay it was Crystal. We ain't really talked since that night I told her she need to get a paternity test or she gone see me act like a nigga for real.
Crystal: **Photo Attached**There's the results. I know this is the end of some shit. I'm sorry I fucked this up. I wish you the best and I love you Scrub.
I looked at the picture and read the paper even though her message within itself told it all but I just needed that extra clarification. I hearted the message and left it on read. Made me feel a little like a hoe ass nigga but, that's what you get when you being a hoe ass bitch. I hated that for her but I had to treat her like she was acting. A slut. I still loved the girl even though she did me wrong.
I know this a bitch thing to say but I'm lowkey happy as fuck the baby wasn't mine. "Jace get off the bench and come play ball fuck nigga!" Phil yelled laughing as he threw the ball at me. "Nigga I don't even smoke and I need a blunt, this enough drama for a life time." I said getting up with a smile.
"Nigga you smiling? Why you smiling?" Phil said, pausing with the look of confusion.
"I'S NOT THA PAPPY!" I yelled running around the court cheering. "Nigga.. What you mean?"He said, still standing there confused. I had forgotten that the boys didn't know Crystal was pregnant. It was easy to hide because she wasn't showing much at all. I knew if I can't do shit I can play ball and hold water with ease.
"Oh I forgot y'all ain't know. Crystal Pregnant. Nick's Tha PAPPYYY!" I said laughing and cheering. When they said karma's a bitch I aint know that hoe was petty too. She really said "Gotcha Bitch!".

Ellie's POV
"Well Ellie this is what we are going to do. Since you're 18, you're being provided a place to stay. And you're not working in the exotic club anymore..correct?" I nodded looking at the people of the board. There sat 5 people, myself, and CJ's dad. I had to sit there and explain the story I hated to tell. I'm at a point where I'm ready to make up a new one because this one is boring to me at this point. I've told it soo much I think I'm over the PTSD.
"And since you've been keeping up with your work with straight A's all throughout your time here, Excellent work by the way, we're going to allow you to come back to school on campus. With that being said you must select an extra curricular. I don't care if you're collecting flowers with the gardening club, or picking worms with the I.S.C but, go sign up for something today. You'll resume classes tomorrow." I smiled and nodded.
"Thank you so much. Y'all won't regret it I promise." I said standing up to shake everyones hand and running out. Little did they know I had a trick up my sleeve for miss Amber, I indeed do have to get my lick back. I walked to the girls locker room, the school day was over so I don't know exactly why I had to find something today.
"Hi Coach I'm Eleanor, I was trying to see if you need a girls basketball manager?" I know I told Jace before I got expelled that I would try to be the boys but I don't know how the boys feel about me after the party and I blocked Jace, I felt myself really starting to like that boy and it's one thing to fuck up it's another to be a mistake. I'm not going to be anyone's mistake.
"No ma'am, I have 6 already, 2 too many honestly." She said coming around as if she wasn't giving me her undivided attention. "The boys need one more so you better hurry." She said nonchalantly leaving me in her office. Rude ass.
I walked over to the Boys locker room knocking on the door. I never understood putting the coaches' offices in the locker room. The shit just sounds dumb. Coach Ike answered by giving me a greeting smile. I knew about him because of Jace and CJ. They talked highly of him. "How can I help you?"
"Hi, I'm Ellie. Are you looking for a manager?" I said with a smile .
"Yes ma'am. Come on in." He said, opening the propping the door open. He started telling me all the things I needed and what he expected of me as a basketball manager. He asked me to also tell him a little about myself.
"So I'm not sure how your people are but we have an overnight tournament coming up. It's next week Thursday through Saturday. We will leave after the 1st period. I have one other girl manager y'all will share a room, lucky y'all cause the boys are 5 to a room." He said with an evil laugh handing me a permission slip.
We wrapped up our conversation after he gave me three shirts, he shook my hand and welcomed me to the team. I'm Lowkey excited. I hope the other manager and I will get along. Now as far as Jace I'm not sure how and were this was going to go but I planned to show him how good I'm at at ignoring a nigga.
