Lost In The Game

VIII

"We need to talk. Right now!" Kenny yelled from the other side of the door.

"About what? The party?" I asked a little irritated.

"What you mean about what? Did you fuck Rai'Shaun at that party?" Kenny asked as he opened the bathroom door.

"Why do it matter Kenny? We're not together," I pointed out. I grabbed my toothbrush and began to brush my teeth.

"Just because we're going through things, don't mean go fuck some random nigga," Kenny said standing in the door way. I spit out the toothpaste and rinsed my mouth out. I walked passed him and made my way down to the kitchen.

"You're so worried about me and you're burning the food," I said taking the toast out the oven. The smell of bacon filled my nose as I turned them over. I grabbed new bread and put them in the oven.

"DeMyya? So you gone act like it's okay for you to go around sleeping with anybody?", Kenny asked. I stopped checking on the food and looked at him. "We didn't do no sleeping," I said simply and sat at the table.

"You a hoe bruh. I can't believe I was actually starting to love you. Stupid thot," he said as he walked out the front door.

Did he just call me those things? Wow. Now I see what kind of person he really is. "Myya you down here?" I heard Jurnee ask from the stairs.

"Yea in the kitchen," I responded. Jurnee walked in and smiled.

"What a night?" she asked. I just stared at her. I put my head on the table. Man I really messed up. "What's wrong with you?" Jurnee asked sitting next to me.

"Kenny found out I had sex with RaiShaun," I said lifting my head up.

"You what?", she half screamed. I stood up and walked to the stove. I couldn't face looking at her.

"Yea, I had sex with him lastnight at the party." I said turning off the bacon. Jurnee stood next to me and started cracking the eggs. "Well... I don't know what to say.", she said as she whipped the eggs. "Please don't judge me.", I said putting sausages in the skillet.

About 20 mins later, Jurnee and I had finished breakfast. Monique joined us after we finished. Kenny and James walked in the house laughing. "Bro how you get another girl pregnant?", James asked. I looked at Jurnee and continued making plates.

"That's not my damn baby. Well the first one ain't," Kenny answered walking into the kitchen.

"So Lailah baby is yours?" James asked.

"Say no mo," I said walking up the stairs. I walked in Jurnee's room and found my shoes.

I know I said we weren't together but he could've atleast told me he had a baby on the way. Then it's by Lailah. The fuck? I'm so fed up with him. We should've just left this as a crush.

"Yo Jurnee? I'll be back Monday morning for school," I said coming down the stairs.

"But I don't want you to leave.", she said with pleading eyes. I looked at her and Monique and walked outside. They weren't far behind. "Myya, you're supposed to be here with me. Forget if he here or not," Jurnee said trying to change my mind.

"Well I'll be back later. I gotta go visit my momma. I miss her." I said looking up the street towards my house.

"Well call us from the hospital when you make it," Monique said running my shoulder.

I started walking up the street and realized the hospital was about 10 mins away walking. I just sped up and continued on the way. I made it to the hospital 15 minutes later. It was 80 degrees outside and it was only 9:45am.

I checked in at the front desk and received a visitor's pass. I walked to momma's room and peeked inside. She was watching tv alone. "Hey momma.", I said walking in. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and a hug. "Baby I miss you so much.", she said holding me tight. "Why haven't you been released yet?", I asked sitting on the edge of her bed.

"It's better for you and me right now," she whispered. I was confused. "As long as I stay in here, he can't hurt me. And you can keep staying over April's house. Don't go to that house for nothing," she whispered. "I'm filing charges against him but it will take a couple more days to process. Just please stay outta his sight," she begged. I agreed to stay outta his way and at Ms. April's house.

I dialed Jurnee's number and the phone rung once. "Girl, I thought you would never call. It's 10:14 and you left here at 9:30am.", she screamed.

"Sorry Jurnee, I was just catching up with my momma and forgot to call you. I'll call you before I leave so that you can meet me.", I explained.

"Okay Myya. I love you.", she said. I smiled knowing my bestfriend was worried about me.

"I love you too girl.", I said and hung up. I laid in the bed with my momma and fell asleep.
