"Jada, look at me," he said. I looked at him "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I,I just I mean, because –" I said but was cut off
"Why–didn't–you–tell–me?" He asked
" I–I, am not sure if I'm keeping it," I said it was so silent around us I could hear him breathing hard like someone who was trying to fight off a panic attack, I wasn't looking at him.
"You not going to keep it?" he asked.
"I, uh, I'm not sure Raymond" I said looking up at him, I saw he his eyes was glassy. The look on his face was breaking my heart.
"You weren't going to tell me at all?" he whispered "You are going to get rid of my child" I watched him as his body started to shake a little and he turned and walked away from me.
"Raymond wait" I said walking behind him. He walked back to the group, no one said anything, he walked right to Tony, and grabbed a hold of his shoulder, his breathing was picking up.
"She's_pregnant_with_my_baby" he said in quick breathes. "And_she_don't_even_wanna_keep_it" he laughed but it wasn't his normal laugh it was a hurtful laugh.
"Roos breath" Tony said
"What's_wrong_she_don't_want_to_have_my_baby?" he asked and laughed again his body was still shaking.
"Raymond I-" I said but he waved me off and turned walking to the car.
"Rooster you don't need to be driving man, let me drive" Sal said
"No,I'm_good_I_just_can't_right_now" he said getting in, I walked to the car and opened the door and got in.
"Roos call me when you get home my nigga" Mark said and Rooster nodded, still shaking and started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot. The ride was silent, I was about to say something but he turn the radio on full blasted, I had to cover my ears, till I reached over and turned it down some. After a 30 maybe 35 minute drive he pulled up to my house I cut the radio off.
"Rooster come in so we can talk about this" I said he was looking straight ahead.
"No" he said
"baby please just come in and we can talk" I said
"Get out my car Jada" he said
"No I'm not going anywhere till you talk to me" I said folding my arms.
"Jada I don't wanna put my hands on you and put you out my fucking car but I will, now get your ass out of my car" he said I just sat there arms folded. He undid his seat belt, and got out soon my door was opened "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CAR JADA"
"Only if you'll come in and we can talk about it and think this through" I said looking up at him, he sighed.
"Fine" he said and I undid my seat belt and got my purse, he closed the door and walked around to the driver side cause the car was still running. I looked into my purse and pulled out my keys, by the time I got them out I saw Rooster backing up and speeding the hell off.
"ROOSTER" I yelled but he kept going. I just stood there watching till I felt sick and ran to the grass throwing up and crying. I sat on the ground and cried till I felt arms around my shoulder. I was hoping it was Rooster but when I looked up and saw it was my dad, I just leaned into him and cried, I have to tell my dad too...
