Love Is Complicated

Chapter 10

I feel bad for Zuri 😭 She didn't deserve that

Saturday, 8:23 am

I woke up from a nap feeling nauseous. God, I hate being pregnant. I want to call Anthony but he was rude to me that day and I don't wanna go through that again.

*phone rings*

Who is calling me right now? Not Anthony. Let me answer so he doesn't call me again. 

-------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you want?" I ask Anthony.

"What's wrong with you? I haven't even said anything and you have a fucking attitude." Anthony says pissed. 

" What's wrong with me? No, what the fuck is wrong with you? I tell you I'm pregnant and you fucking say you have to go and tell me to get an abortion. Are you fucking mentally sick?" I say arguing with him.

(its giving married couples fight)

"My mom was fucking calling me. What do you want me to do, ignore her? I'm not ready to have a kid! I'm a fucking 17-year-old." Anthony argues back.

I wish I could slap him in the face.

"You know what I'm mad about is the fact that you never called back or even tried to talk to me at school yesterday about the situation. I can't do this while I have a baby in my stomach." I say angry.

*she'd hang up the phone without saying bye*

*cries* I wanna talk to someone. I'm gonna call Akira to come over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*she'd text Akira to come over and she says ok.

"I don't know what to do, Akira. I feel like I'm on the verge of dying." I say trying not to cry.

"Let's look on the better side, Zuri. I mean you have a kid that you may love in the future. You at least have a boyfriend and supportive parents. A lot of teen moms don't get that treatment. They have to start from the start." Akira says trying to comfort me.

"I know but what if Anthony doesn't want to raise his kid? That's what I'm scared about." I say still crying.

"Then why don't you ask him now?" Akira asks.

I look up and say "Wait your right." I say hopeful.

I call Anthony and he picks up on the second ring. I put the phone on speaker for Akira to hear.

"Listen, I took some time to think and I'm sorry Zuri. I should have comforted you but instead, I hung up. I guess this is just a lot to take in and I'm not ready for everything at once." Anthony says immediately. 

"It's ok, I just want to know if you want to raise a kid. I wanna know if we are on the same page here." Zuri says curious.

"I mean yeah? Is that even a question? I would love to raise our kid. How could I say no to that?" Anthony says confused why I asked that question.

Thank god, I'm not going to be a single parent.

I say bye and hang up the phone. I tell Akira thank you and she leaves. I still don't know when we are going to tell his parents. That's up to him honestly.
