7 Mile

Chapter 15

"Who's that?" Man why'd she have to move up from me, we'd only just got comfortable in front of the TV,

"I dunno, I can't see through walls" I sniggered, bitch hit me to get me up,

"Go get it"

"Why can't we just ignore it?" I knew it was the guys, wanting to take me to The Shop,

"Marshall"

"Man, fine" I needed a piss anyways, suppose I could go after answering the door...

"Yo what the fuck is you doin'? Kyu's been callin' me up, wanting to know where you at" Proof walked past me, inviting himself in like usual,

"My bad, we uh, we fell asleep. But ay dog, I got some big ass news" I couldn't hold it in, "Kim can we tell him? Ay?"

"No way in hell. Not so soon, no"

"What d'you mean, not so soon?" He questioned back, "Yall can't hide from a brother"

"Proof won't say no shit, c'mon Kim?"

"Fine. Fine. You're only gonna go tell him anyway"

"Dog..." I gripped his shoulders, "we pregnant!"

"Fuck outta here"

"We gonna have a baby dog"

"What you take me for, i ain't stupid. 'YALL' ain't that stupid" his grin quickly turned around when he realized the look of confusion on our faces, "You... you being serious.. ain't you?"

"Completely. Actually it's kinda why I can't bounce wit' y'all tonight"

"But y'all struggling, y'all can't raise a baby, you try to kill each other at any moment"

"That's why we gonna work at it, spend time together, whatever"

"Your music? What about your music dog? You just gonna throw that away?"

"I'm still doin' my music, that ain't gonna change"

"How you gon' have time to work, have a baby, record and do shows? You ain't no superman"

"I dunno, aight... but I'ma.. I'll figure it out"

"You fucking crazy"

"Where you goin'?" I followed him, fuck was he so mad at?

"Have you ass even thought this through properly?"

"Not really but it just.. it feels right, like this is our I dunno.. moment"

"Goddamn, redwood. You must be out yo' damn mind"

"Look man I'm sorry I be letting you down like this but yo, she comes first, you know"

"Yea..." He opened the door, "Like she always gonna" he stormed out, i wasn't gonna let him cut me off like that,

"What's yo' fuckin' problem?! I thought you'd be happy for me?!"

"Happy for you? Watching my brother, my homie throw his life away, how am I gonna be happy? You and Kim were doomed from the start, you think she gonna treat you better cause she got your kid inside of her? You fuckin' crazy, the both of y'all"

"Ay fuck you!"

"I put all my time into you, helping you make moves, bigger fucking moves, so nah dog, fuck you... and your bullshit"

He walked away on me, just like that. Man who the fuck was he to dictate what I was and ain't capable of? He was supposed to support me! I'd support him if he'd got his chick pregnant! This was my choice, and if I wanted a kid and music, why couldn't I do both? Why'd he think so low of me, I'd make it work, I always did. I'd find a way.
