Her: The Liar and The Basketball Playa (Under Construction!!)

Chapter Seventeen: Changes Have To Happen...

Chrysler POV

I hadn't heard from Everest since the night of Kieara's party when she showed up on my porch in the dead of night. I remember her coming to my house to tell me about the horrid events she witnessed. Kieara had gotten drunk and cheated again which of course didn't come to a big surprise to me. I had never seen Eve so heartbroken as she sat, a makeup running blubbering mess, on my bed. I remember the drinks we took to soothe her nerves as she talked about her next move. I remembered the drunken haze and then I remember waking up alone naked and hungover. After that she disappeared and I didn't see her again after that. As I turned into the park I wondered what had made her reach out. I couldn't lie and say I wasn't curious to see what she looked like after a year. Where she'd been all this time. We were friends before she left, were we still now? I saw her car in the lot and parked in an empty space a few cars down grabbing my keys, taking a deep breathe, and hopping out. I walked down the lot toward her car and I heard the door close as I rouned the car next to hers. She looked up at me and for the first time in almost two years I saw her face. Her beautiful light brown eyes seemed different, like she'd aged in the year and had seen more beyond her years. She had gained a healthy amout of weight making her look less like the stick-like cheerleader I once new. She was different but the same like a familiar stranger and for a few moments we just looked at each other trying to recognize each other.

"Hi." She finally said in her soft voice and I smiled.

"Hi." I said back and pulled her into a hug. This was my bestfriend and hadn't realized just how much I missed her. She relaxed in my arms hugging me back before stepping back giggling.

"How have you been?" She asks and I nod.

"Not bad , what about you?" I ask and she shrugged.

"Pretty good. I moved into a house. Enrolled into college early and had..." She trailed off stopping her self mid-sentence and I knew there was something she was keeping from me.

"What is it Everest?" I said and she looked at me hesitantly looking over my face really quick before walking over to the passenger door of her car opening it and she motioned for me to peep in. I bent over and peeping in and my eyes widened. In the back of the car two car seats sat with two little girls in them. I looked up at Eve and then back in the car.

"That's Aliyah and Azariah...my daughters." She said and I looked back at her shocked. That's where she had gone? To have her babies. The look on her face was fear and I couldn't understand why.

"What's wrong Eve?" I had never seen her look like this before. "Are they sick?"

"N-no.....they're yours." She said almost in a whisper and the whole world went silent.

"What?" I heard myself saying as I look back into the car as if on que the one closest to the window looked over at me and I gasped as I started into Everest's face and my very own eyes.

"That night after the party....we got drunk and...." She trails off. I was too drunk....too drunk to remember having sex with her but how could I deny what was so evident. Aaliyah stared at me and grinned patting the glass and for the life of me I couldn't get myself to gear a reaction. I felt disconnected from myself as I looked at them.

"Chry please say something." She says and I glance up at her.

"Your children are beautiful." I say and I cringe inwardly at how it sounds while she cringes on the outside.

"M-my children?" She says, "They are yours to Chry that's why I brought them to see you. I thought it would be best if you knew they existed."

"Why?" I ask before I could take it back. It was like I wasn't control what I was saying. I was so shocked that words were just flying out. Her eyes widened.

"Because they are your kids Chrysler." She said frowning like I was missing something.

"Do you need money or something." I said like unstoppable word vomit. What was I doing? It was like my subconscious was trying to push her away. I couldn't handle the thought of children not after almost two years of not seeing her. I was shell shocked. Her eyes began to water only making it harder for me.

"I don't need anything from you Chrysler! I thought you'd be happy to see your kids but clearly I was wrong. You don't ever have to see them. They don't need you and neither do I." She declared and I had never seen her so angry. I began to realize how fucked up I had been and before I could open my mouth to try to fix it she turned her back to me.

"Ever-" I began but she cut me off.

"Just don't Chrysler.....you've said enough." She opens her car door and her reverse lights pop on as she backs out of the parking space. She doesn't look at me as she puts it in forward and I glance at the back seat window and little Aliyah eyes, my eyes pierced through my soul and all I can think as they drive away is how I royally have fucked up a good thing. In that moment I felt no better than my father and I like him, had no idea way to fix it.
