All or Nothing (August Alsina FF)

Chapter 41

This had to be one of the worse weeks of my life. As if I wasn't going through it enough mentally my mom had to make things worse. Giving me an ultimatum was something I didn't see coming and wasn't something I was prepared for. I had no clue what I was going to do. I used to have complete control over my life, I had no problems and now it was like all of these problems were being dumped on me at once.

As if I wasn't stressed enough my car was acting funny so Monday afternoon I took it into the shop and they found out something was wrong with my starter. It would be ready to pick up Friday so I would have to depend on the girls for rides until then. On top of that I wasn't getting any sleep with these night-mares. Sunday I got about four hours of sleep total, Monday night I got about three and only reason I was passing out was because I was drinking coffee, it was the only thing that I was consuming since I didn't have an appetite. Tuesday after school I went to the store and found some bootleg sleeping pills hoping they would help.

Tuesday when I got home my mom was in a mood, talking about she wanted us to have dinner as a family. I side eyed her and stayed out of her way until she told me dinner was ready and I joined her. I knew that this was a set up and that she was going to bring up August sooner than later.

"You look sick," she looked me over as I took a small bite of my food.

"I'm fine," I shrugged looking down at my plate as she studied me silently.

"Your not coming down with anything are you?"

"I don't think so," I shook my head. It was silent for the next minute but I could feel her looking me over.

"I hope your not pregnant, please tell me if you were having sex with that boy you were using protection?"

"Mom-"

"For your sake I hope so, he may have nothing to lose but you do you-"

"I'm not pregnant," I cut her off.

"Are you sure? I mean you look tired and sick, you've gained weight, maybe I should schedule you an appointment for later on this week."

Since I turned 18 she stopped coming with me to my doctors appointments so she had no clue that I birth control and the last thing I needed was her tagging along with me to the doctors office.

"Me and August use protection ever time we have sex," I told her, I was being blunt and it was a partial lie but whatever.

She was silently and ate slowly and I just played with my food.

"You said have."

"What," I looked over at her confused.

"Have, present tense."

I sighed and rolled my eyes inwardly.

"I'm guessing you haven't broke up with him yet?"

"No," I shook my head.

"If your worried he might, act out, then I can get one of the boys from church to come with you when you do, just in case."

I glared at her, "August isn't like that."

"I beg to differ."

I sighed.

"I'm doing this for you. To help you. What happens if your still with him and the cops come sniffing around. What if you get dragged down with him? I just don't want to see you hurt."

"It's to late for that," I looked over at her, "Do you think forcing me to break up with him is something that I look forward to?"

"I don't care if you look forward to it. As long as you live in my house you live by my rules. If I put you out where are you going to go....live with him," she laughed dryly, "How long do you think that's going to last, before he gets bored with you, before he finds some other young dumb girl and kicks you out, wants nothing to do with you?"
