Come Back to Reality

Chapter 39:

*Aubrey's POV*

I took Alliyah out for ice cream since Crystal was a mess. When I came back, Crys wasn't there, so I checked my phone and saw I had a missed call from her.

"Crystal. Where you at?"

"On my way to Long Beach."

"WHAT THE FUCK? For what?"

"To see my family."

There was a long pause.

"We're pulling up to the house right now. I'll call you when I'm settled in."

"We? Who else with you?"

"India."

"When are you coming back?"

"Tomorrow."

"Are you mad because of the tour?"

"I'm upset over it, but not mad. I gotta go. I love you."

"I love you, too."

We said goodbye and I was left alone with Alliyah.(Ally-uh)

"Where's Cwystal?"

"She's coming back tomorrow. She went somewhere with India."

She grabbed my hand and pulled me into her room to watch Dora. I'm not a punk, but it was a-DORA-ble when she was singing and answering questions.

Looking at that mixed, big headed bitch (Dora) made me miss my baby Crystal.

*India's POV*

This fight is stupid, but Crystal is pregnant so most fights she's gonna get into are gonna be stupid. Long Beach is 30 minutes-2 hours away from Santa Monica so at least the ride wasn't that long.

"HEY MOMMA! HEY DADDY! HEY BLAKE!"

We ran up and hugged each one.

Mom: "Hey, babies! How have you been?"

Me: "Good!"

Crystal: "Good and getting better. I'm having a baby!"

Mom looked shocked.

Dad: "What did Chris say about it?"

I wondered if she was gonna tell them about the situation.

Crystal: "He's excited."

Mom: "Are you two gonna get married?"

Crystal was choked up. "We-- uh-- we are-- umm-- splitted up and it might not be...."

Mom gasped. "CRYSTAL! Who else?"

"Aubrey."

"AUBREY GRAHAM?!"

"Yeah. He and I are back together now."

Dad: "What happened with Chris?"

Her eyes started to water.

"We...um. We had some problems. We needed to break up so we can see ourselves and..um...where we stand."

Our parents decided to drop the subject because Crystal was starting to lose it. She went upstairs and slept. Her phone was ringing so I answered it.

"Hey, Aubrey."

"Hey. Is this India?"

"Yeah. Crystal's sleep."

"Oh. She was supposed to call me when she got settled in."

"She's been emotional all day. She's been under so much stressed for a while and needs to just rest."

"Ok. Keep an eye on her for me."

"Ok...why did she leave without telling you? I heard your conversation in the cab."

"I'm going on tour and will be gone throughout her pregnancy."

"I've never been in that situation so I can't help, but just know that she needs you. She shouldn't hold you from your life, but sometimes, you should sacrifice for BOTH of your lives together. Whether you go or not is between you two. I'll be there for her if you're gone. She'll still love you either way."

"I'll still love her, too. No matter what, but she's confusing me. One second, she wants me to go, but next, she gets mad."

"I wanna say to stay, but the truth is, I really don't know. Work something out with her."

"Ok. Alliyah's getting sleepy. I gotta go. Bye, India."

"Bye, Aubrey."

They Shit's Scressful, Bruh.
