Jacob Perez

I was currently getting dressed to go to Denise's house. In all honesty, I'm scared about what might happen. I didn't mean to ruin their relationship. And I really don't want to but I just can't help my feelings. I can't help that I'm stupidly in love with Chresanto and there's no way of denying it. I sighed and rubbed my stomach. I don't want to put my baby through all this stress that's why I didn't want to go, but I also want to be mature about everything so I said why not. I just promised I won't cry too much or yell or anything to get my blood pressure high. My phone started to ring and I saw that it was Denise. She didn't really say anything generally but she just talked about the "gathering" as she called it. I sighed and answered

"Hello?"

"Are you ready?" She mumbled. I bit my lip.

"Uh yeah I am."

"Trey is coming to pick you up, okay?"

"That's fine." I said then she hung up. I bit my lip again and put my shoes on as I heard a car honk.

"I'm coming!" I yelled.

I quickly went downstairs and grabbed my keys and went outside, making sure to lock the door. I jogged towards Trey's car and smiled.

"Hey." I said.

"Wassup?" He mumbled as he pulled off.

"Nothing, what's wrong?"

"Just worried 'bout this gathering bullshit. Just want it to be over." He rolled his eyes.

"Me too, honestly." I sighed for like the millionth time today.

"You ain't do shit wrong Jacob, don't let August's dumb ass get to your head he was just pissed." I shrugged.

"It doesn't really matter any more." I said lowly. Minutes later we got to Denise's house and I immediately tensed up.

"You gon' be aight, Jacob." Trey said as he parked and we got out the car. I shook my head. I was honestly on the verge of tears and he seemed to notice.

He walked over to me and held my chin up, "Listen Jay, you need to be strong for yourself and that baby, aight? You can't be cryin' over that nigga when he dissed your feelings now chill, okay?"

I nodded and hugged him, giving him a quick thank you.

We walked to the doorstep and he knocked. We waited for someone to answer and Chresanto came to the door. He looked tired. I couldn't even look him dead in his eye. I looked down and crossed my arms over my stomach.

"Aye, Chres, wassup?" Trey said as he walked in.

"Nothing much." I kept my head down as I walked in also. As I put my head up I saw everyone.

Naomi, Denise, Nicki, August, some light skin dude with tattoos, and Chris.

"JACOB!" Chris yelled. I lightly chuckled and gave him a small wave. "Here take a seat right here." He patted next to him. I shook my head at him and chuckled.

"Gimme a sec." He nodded and laid back.

I walked over to Naomi and sat next to her. "Hey." I said
