"Are you riding with me or is Jocelyn taking you home?" Akira asked as she walked pat me in the kitchen.
"I'll ride with you. Jocelyn is still sleep." I tell akira.
"I'm shocked you up." She said.
"I already threw up twice. I've never had a headache this bad." I said laughing.
Akira grabbed a water bottle out the fridge as she stared me down. We looked at each other in silence and it took two minutes before I got annoyed.
"What?" I finally ask.
"I don't trust her V." Akira finally said.
"Who Jocelyn?" I ask confused. "She looks out for me, she's my only real friend besides you."
"Vina you can't be friends with people you continue to fuck. How are you ever gonna know what a real genuine friendship looks like?" Akira asked making me laugh.
"Akira please, you aren't the one to tell me what a real friend is. You dipped off on me for like two months all cause you got knocked up." I said shaking my head.
"Not once did you call and ask me was I okay."
"Um maybe cause I was deal with the fact that I was raped! Which you would've known if you would've called me!" I said pushing her back into and making her hit the counter.
Her mouth fell wide open. I couldn't tell if she was in shock or in pain. But either way, I immediately felt guilty.
"I'm sorry Akira, are you okay?" I reach for her hand and she slapped me.
Hard. I thought about hitting her back. But then I remembered she was pregnant. It was already too much pushing her, but hitting her would've been taking it too far. I stood up straight and took a deep breath before walking back to my room. I slammed the door shut and laid down in my bed.
"Are you okay?" I heard Jocelyn ask as she came out the bathroom.
"Me and Akira just had a fight," I tell her.
"Damn. I'm sure you're gonna make up." Jocelyn said. "What was it about?" She asked me.
"You." I quickly replied. "She doesn't think you're really my friend. You're my friend, right?" I ask sitting up.
Jocelyn rolled her eyes and sat down on the bed.
"Don't be stupid. You know I'm your friend." Jocelyn said smiling. "Look Day, you gotta understand that having a pretty face can get you really far." She said making me sit up.
I looked at her and shrugged. "I know that." I tell her.
"Okay so why are you tripping over one friend? Bitch you can make some more friends." Jocelyn laughed. "Stop crying."
"I'm not even crying."
"Yet. Pussy." She said playfully nudging me.
I sit up and grab and phone. My phone had hundreds of birthday texts. There were way too many people to thank. At the top was a message from Devin, I clicked it and smiled at the picture he had sent me.
