Toxic

Chapter Seventeen

Favorite character, yet?

Rose, Reagan

"Reagan, where are you?"
I didn't even answer as I stood looking in the mirror at my lifeless eyes, and my body. I soon felt Chase, who was looking for me, behind me, and I turned around giving her a smile.

"What's up?"

She bit her lip, and ran her fingers through her hair with a white shoulders shirt with the words fleek in black, a pair of blue jeans, cuffed at the ends, with a black pair of Birkenstocks with her hair down in a middle part.

"I just wanted to make sure you were okay before I left, because if your not I can stay with you and I don't even have to go. I'm sure Travis will understand."

I rolled my eyes, and laughed. I wanted her to stay here with me, of course I did but I couldn't let her miss Travis' last basketball game, I couldn't.

With a tight lip, I responded, "I promise I'm okay, just go."

Chase smiled, and reached out and hugged me as I closed my eyes needing that, but every time I closed my eyes it brought me back to two days ago.

Opening my eyes, once I felt her hit me, I released my seat belt from my body. Chase stopped me from getting out of the car.

"You sure you want to do this because you don't have to do this?"

I nodded my head and felt a tear drop down my face. I didn't want too but I had too terminate this pregnancy for so many reasons. I wasn't ready. Maybe financially, but not physically. I didn't want to be like my parents and bring a baby into the drug world, so I rather not have children, and I wouldn't let this baby go up through that or without a father. Because I'm sure if it came down to it, Domonic wouldn't be ready.

So I nodded my head, "I'm sure Chase, but," I spoke sure of my next words. "I need you too promise me that this will stay between me and you."

She smiled, and leaned in a hugged me, as we sat towards each other in the car.
"I promise, no matter what happens."

"You sure your alright?"
I opened my eyes, and released her from the hug.

"I'm alright, I promise," I said putting my hand over my heart. She rolled her eyes, and laughed then wiped my tears that I didn't even realize had fell down my face.

"Everything's going to be alright, Reagan, I know you don't want to admit that your hurting, but I know that you are."

I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my pain and sorrow but the tears kept falling and although I was trying to deny my pain and my hurt. I couldn't because the tears were just coming down my face like a waterfall, and my heart hurt too.

I didn't want to hold Chase back from her game, but I knew that I would from my tears. It seemed like I didn't have anybody but Chase right now, and I was starting to wonder is this how my life would always be? Where do I go from here?

Phillips, Domonic

Listening to Kevin Gates, I smoked the blunt as if it was going out of style as I sat in the passenger seat ready to end the life that would make me one step closer to being the kingpin of the game.

"What's this nigga name again?"

"Jeremy," I spoke. "It should've even take nothing but a minute since Trinity suppose to be in there distracting his ass."

Maine nodded his head, and I started to wonder what was taking her ass so long to call us and tell us to come up. I didn't even know why my father put her on our team, officially. I didn't need her fucking up what I had already built, but in order to get my fathers trust and take over, I had to do what he said.
