My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 12

*Friday*

I woke up and woke Santo up. By the way, me, Lyssa and Meek got a 100% on our project. "Get up, babe. You got work." I told him. He smiled at me. "Mornin' beautiful." Santo said. I smiled. "Mornin. Now, get up." I said, patting his arm. He chuckled and sat up. "I gotta take a shower. I'll be out in a minute." I said. Santo jumped. "I know you're not going with out me." He said, picking me up. He ran into my bathroom and closed and locked the door. "Now, let's take a shower." Santo said, kissing my lips. I smiled as he picked me up and sat me on the counter. He pulled away from the kiss and cut the water in the shower on.

"Santo, why are you being so flirty?" I asked as he kissed my neck. "It's Friday, baby. You're surprise weekend starts right after school today. Your bags are in my truck already." Santo said. I giggled. "Someone is ready. So, what's my surprise?" I asked. Santo chuckled against my skin. "I'm not telling you." He said before going back to kissing my neck.

"Santo, you keep doing this and we not gon' make it anywhere today." I said. Santo chuckled and got off of me. "Alright, let's get dressed now." Santo said. I giggled and agreed. We finished showering and got out. Santo dressed got dressed and he looked hot.

"Mmm, Papi, lookin sexy." I said, biting my lip. Santo looked at me. "You have no idea how turned on I just got." He said. I giggled and walked up to him. I sat on his lap and started kissing him, grinding a little bit. "Come on, baby. Quit teasing me. We got school." Santo said. I smiled and got off him. He just sat there. "Are you gonna go to school or?" I asked. Santo nods. "Yeah, I'm just gonna sit here for a minute to comprehend what just happened." He told me. I giggled and pecked his lips. "I got you good." I told him. I went to walk off and he smacked my butt. "Mami, you got a big-" He got cut off by a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked. "It's Ray." Ray said. Santo went in my closet and hid. I closed my bathroom and closet doors before opening my bedroom door. "Hey." I said. Ray walked in and sat on my bed. "Can we talk about this Santo situation?" Ray asks. I sigh and close my door before sitting on my bed. "Okay, what is it?" I ask.

"I think you deserve someone like Santo, I do. I totally support you guys. He respects you. But, as teenage boys, there are things we need and do. I don't want you to get hurt. I know he would never hurt you or pressure you. But, sometimes we don't think. Can you please just wait until you are older? I'm sorry I made you guys break up. I am. I should have explained my reasoning first so you could think about it. But, please, wait until your older to decide." Ray said. I smiled and hugged him. "Okay. I'm gonna chose Santo though. I already know he's the one for me." I said, smiling. "Well, I have a surprise for you on Monday. Have a nice weekend with Lyssa and Meek. I gotta go to work." Ray said. I hugged Ray. "Bye. Be careful. I love you, big brother." I said. He kissed my forehead. "I love you too. Tell Santo I said be careful on his work trip." Ray told me before walking out.

Santo walked out my closet and out my door. "Jazzy, let's go we're gonna be late." Santo yelled. I walked downstairs and Santo was already walking out the door. I kissed the boys cheeks and walked out the door. I got in the truck to see a very pissed off Santo. He tossed a book into my lap. It was my old diary. "What the fuck is that?" Santo asked. I looked it. It's my old diary. "It's my diary." I said. He snatched and flipped to a page. I read it.

"Diary,

I hate this. The morning sickness and the mood swings. I can't take it. Santo keeps telling me it's worth it but, I can't believe it. I'm 14 for crying out loud! I can't have a baby. My parents definitely don't approve. They just like to beat me for it. They won't let me tell anyone about the baby. They always say they hope the baby dies because me and Santo don't deserve her. I can't tell Santo cause they said if I do they will personally kill our baby. I don't know what to do. I'm tired of suffering. My parents hate me, Ray's gonna hate me when he finds out. I don't even know what to tell everyone. The only place I can go is to Mama Cindy's house but my mom makes me cover the bruises. I can't do any of this anymore. I feel like I'm giving up. I don't want to give up. But, I don't wanna live in hell anymore."
