The car hummed along the familiar route, the headlights cutting through the night's darkness.

As I sat in the passenger seat, my heart began to pound like a drum in my chest.

After that huge fight with Briel, I knew our friendship was ruined forever and I think that's what hurt the most.

The argument had escalated to a point I never thought was possible all because I told her the truth.

Sure, I knew she'd be mad, but I just never expected her to put her hands on me, but again, I totally understood.

Zyaire was possibly the father of my child. I couldn't believe that shit myself.

I looked over at him, he was silent, his expression was a mask of pain, anger and regret.

I could tell he was feeling a deep sense of guilt and shame.

Deep down he probably despised me for being in the middle of his and Briel's breakup.

His eyes were fixed on the road, but I could tell his mind was racing. He probably wasn't ready to be a father yet.

And being a father meant that his 2+ year relationship with Briel was most likely completely over by now.

He gripped on the steering wheel tightly, as if he were trying to hold himself together.

Despite his efforts, I noticed that tears occasionally slipped down his face.

He must have really loved Briel, and I ruined them.

Maybe everything really is my fault.

Honestly I began to feel really bad for not only Briel, but Zyaire as well.

If someone had told me this shit a year and a half ago, when me and Zyaire had been at the bus stop and he was bullying me, that he'd possibly be my baby daddy, I may have told them that they were crazy.

Honestly, with everything happening it just felt like my world had been turned completely upside down.

As we pulled into the driveway of my grandma's house, I took a huge deep breath.

I knew this shit wouldn't be easy and would be a life changing experience, but it had to be done.

My grandma, a stern, no-nonsense woman had always been tough on the family.

I knew she had kicked Journey out for this same reason when she got pregnant and I was terrified that she might even do the same to me when she found out.

Where would I go? I thought to myself in panic.

Zyaire parked the car, and I got out, feeling a knot of anxiety in my stomach.

Zyaire hadn't said bye, and I completely understood.

I walked towards the front door of my house as I heard the sound of Zyaire driving off.
