I knocked on Janelle's window softly making sure my hand didn't slip so I wouldn't fall off of the roof. Luckily it didn't take long for her to lift it.
"Hey baby."I said energetically as she made sure her door was locked.
"Hey."She said lowly not as happy as I frown confused.
"Okay? But what's up? You said it was urgent I got over here as quick as I could. You know my dad's don't let me drive my car this time if the night."I said thinking about what the both of them what say if they knew what I was doing. I looked at her noticing her face as I scrunched my face up grab her arm as she bowed her head.
"Mama cmere."I said pulling her into my lap. "You've been crying pretty? Talk too me what wrong baby?"I said as she sniffled dropping a tear as I wiped it trying to think of what coulda wrong wrong.
"Did you fail a test or something? Someone did something to you? Talk too me..."I said lightening up my voice as she shook her head.
"We..." She started to emotional to get her words out as I guess
"Was it the sex?"I said as she nodded and my heart dropped.
"I know it was our first time but baby I wanted to make you feel good. Did I hurt you? You told me you would've told me to stop if I hurted you ma."I said sadly as she shook her head.
"No you didn't it was great, thank you really you gave me a great first experience I-" she said pausing getting antsy.
"So what is it?" I said as she pointed to her dresser and I lightly moved her off of me as I got up going over to the dresser seeing four positive pregnancy tests.
"Damn..."I said looking at her before glancing back at the test in my hand. She cried harder as I went back over to her putting her arms around me as I placed her in my lap, as she hurried her head in my shoulder.
"Stop crying mama I'm not mad baby. Stop crying it's okay..."I said still shocked trying to find out how to console her as all these thoughts ran through my mind.
"What am I going to do?"She whispered as I picked her head up.
"We. What are we going to do."I said correcting her. "I got you baby, you not in this alone. You didn't do this by yourself. What do you want to do?"I said
"It's nothing I can do. I don't have a choice. What about my future ? Our futures? Our parents? I'm supposed to be the child they didn't have to worry about. And now I'm pregnant...I've heard the stories about what my mama went through at 13...I'm 16 y/n I can't do this..." She said
"You can. And we will. We'll figure it out. I'll get a job. I'll- I don't know."I said feeling bad as I felt as if it was all my fault for the way she felt.
"Y/n that doesn't help anything...I'm going to be a disappointment. I'm a statistics now.i cant burden my family with this too...they've done so much for me just for me to throw it all away. Who am I now?"She said crying as I thought about it kneeling before her grabbing her hands.
"I love you. I-I'll drop out. To take care of it full time While you chase your dreams. Me and the baby will be here every step of the way."I said desperate to make the situation better. I didn't want to see her hurting let something I did.
"No. I can't allow you to do that. We did this together. You can't give up your dreams to mine."Sje said picking me up wiping her tears as I sat beside her picking the test back up as we stared at it. Hoping our eyes were playing trick on us and it would say negative out the blew.
"So what do we do?"I said as she went Silent before her mind clicked.
"Let's go."She said
"Go? Go where?" I said confused.
"Anywhere. Literally anywhere but here we can take the money and bags with stuff we need the most. Let's leave tonight."She said standing up .
"Janelle-
"My mom's going to kick me out. And my dad? I dont even want to imagine how mad he'll be.I'm just trying to save myself the shame. We don't have to if you're not with it."She said truthfully as I thought about.
"Okay I'm in.But they'll notice your gone."I said as she went to the bed stuffing pillows under the cover.
"My sister's here right now.They'll be focusing on her and forgetting about me it'll save us some time to get as far as we need."She said packing her backpack.
"Are you sure about this mama?"I said as she looked at me for a split second nodded.
"Yes. Let's go."She said kissing me turning off the light as I let her go out the window first.
"Watch where you stepping especially since you pregnant.i don't want you to hurt y'all ."I whispered as we got on the roof shutting the window.
