Am I wrong

You can't

I heard talking coming from outside his bedroom door. I sat up in the bed Braxton was gone. I got up tossing the covers off of me. Walking to the door I could hear they were right outside in the hall.

It sounded like him and his parents were arguing. I put my ear to the door.

"Braxton why are you laying in the bed with Michelle in my house".

"What's the problem it's not like we are going to do anything".

I felt bad that I was the reason why him and his parents were arguing.

"Don't talk to your mother like that. We raised you better than this".

"What do you mean".

"I mean that you shouldn't be in bed with her when she's pregnant with someone else's child".

I could tell Braxton was getting angry by the tone in his voice. This made me feel even worse about this whole thing.

"So what does that have to do with me being with her".

His dad was yelling which made me wanna crawl under a rock.

"No son of mine will take care of another mans child. That's not your responsibility".

"You don't understand, I want to be with Michelle and I'll help her take care of her baby if I want to. Even though that child isn't mine that doesn't mean I can't love it like its my own".

There was a moment of silence then his mom spoke up.

"Get Michelle out of here and tell her don't come back".

My heart broke into two pieces when I heard those words. I heard shuffling in the hall I ran back to the bed covering my head in the covers.

I heard the door open. He sighed then walked over to the bed. I could feel the bed sink down behind me. I heard him mutter something under his breath, "Why couldn't this be my baby? Why couldn't she be mine".

My eyes flew open I sat up in the bed,"Braxton". His eyes got wide when he realized I just heard what he said. We sat there in awkward silence I got up out the bed.

"I should go".

He grabbed his keys walking me to the door. We sat in the car, what his mom said replayed over and over in my head. I couldn't believe it everyone one that I kept close to me are pushing me away.

First mom then Steven and his parents. Now Braxton's parents I don't know why this keeps happening. I began to pull on my braid to relax myself.

He put his hand on my hand. "Stop tugging at your braid". I put my hands in my lap. We rounded the corner entering my neighborhood.

I fidgeted with hands my stomach was turning. We pulled up in front of my house. I saw my grandma car in the driveway next to mine.

He turned to face me.

"Michelle"

"Yeah"

"Do you love me"

I swallowed the lump in my throat, "Yes I love you Braxton".

He smiled leaning over kissing my forehead he sighed, "I love you with all my heart".

I felt that same pang of guilt in my tummy sure I loved him but I wasn't in love with him. He grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers.

"Your the best thing that's ever happened to me".

I was speechless because I didn't know what to think or say.

I opened my mouth to say something but he quickly kissed me rendering me speechless once again.

Reaching for the door knob I leaped out the car running to the front door. He drove off down the road. I walked into the house my feet sore from them heels I was wearing.

I leaned against the front door catching my breath. Grandma came up to me smiling. "You hungry I made your favorite".

I smiled, "You made French toast for me grandma". She nodded grabbing my hand leading me to the kitchen. The smell of eggs, bacon and everything breakfast related hit my nose.

I plopped down in a chair at the kitchen table. She sat a plate of fresh French toast in front of me. I licked my lips stuffing my face, "Your the best grandma in the world".

She chuckled wiping her hands on the white apron tied around her waist. "Sweet pea, your the best granddaughter in the world".

I rubbed my tummy full of bacon, french toast and eggs. I got up from the table to help her clean up. She shows my away I went into my room taking a long hot shower.

I got out the shower blow drying my hair. Pulling my French braid out the knot I ran into my room laying on the bed.

I was tired so I decided to nap just as I got comfortable my phone started ringing. I grabbed it, "Hello".

"Chelle girl you gotta get up right now".

I sat up in the bed, "What, Why?"

"Just meet me outside my house in twenty minutes".

I ran my finger through my hair getting up rushing to put on some clothes,"Okay I'll be there".

I hung up the phone tossing it on my bed. I can't believe I'm getting up at eleven o'clock at night to meet her outside her house.

I was going slap her upside her head if this was one of her crazy pranks she be playing in people.

I sat in the car I texted her phone about a million times she wasn't answering. I didn't want to get out because it was cold as hell out there.
