Am I wrong

Here for you

Courtney rubbed my back,"Trust me I got your back." I stayed to her house for three days I haven't been home in what seemed like forever.

"I know but it hurts so bad and he took my baby" I stuttered shaking with sobs.

"Shh it's okay Michelle", she said patting my back. Her mom popped her head in the room,"She's still hurting"

Courtney nodded,"Just give us a minute mom we'll be out soon." Her mom nodded closing the door.

"Michelle I'm only going to tell you this because you need to hear this!" She said holding my head up.

"Get up stop feeling sorry for yourself and most importantly stop crying everything's going to work out"

I nodded taking my best friends advice. She was right this wasn't who I was I was going to keep moving forward no matter what.

We went into the kitchen to eat dinner,"Anyways your seventeenth birthday is coming up in three weeks what are you going to do?" I haven't thought about it so much as been going on.

"Me you my mom going out of town shopping and doing girly fun stuff how does that sound" I nodded seemed fun to me. "We can take Aliyah too because well that's my baby" she gushed.

I chuckled staring at my plate of spaghetti,"I'm sorry but I don't really have an appetite." Her mom nodded putting the fresh spaghetti back in the pot,"I understand Michelle baby" she said kissing the top of my head.

After dinner I laid my head on Courtney's back while we watched lifetime movies. "I told you that bitch was crazy!" Courtney yelled at the screen.

"Girl you know he can't hear you!" I said smacking the back of her head. She mumbled before staring back at the tv. "What are you going to do about Aliyah?" I sighed staring at the ceiling,"For you and Aliyah's sake I think you should leave Steven and do your own thing. I know it's going to be hard but you'll have me and my mother's support."

Leaving Steven and taking Aliyah by myself. My phone started ringing I picked it up going Steven was calling me I rolled my eyes declining the call. I had nothing to say to him he's so full of shit then it hit me I could raise my daughter on my own.

"I think I could do it but I need to save some more so I could get me my own apartment of course its going to have to be in my mother's name" There's so much I couldn't do yet because I was still a minor.

"Don't worry bout that right now, just save your money then when you have everything together pack your shit and leave that motherfu-" I cut her off  "Court this is going to be harder than it seems."

She nodded, "Here's another idea you can go on that show teen mom with all those other crazy ass people." I hit her with a pillow shaking my head at her crazy ideas. "No I'm not going to act a fool on national television."

I don't think moving out on my own at this age is a good idea that would only make it harder on me I'm not even close to graduating yet. I laid back on a pillow," I don't know."

"To make things easier for you and Steven I don't think yall should be together just be co parents and not in a relationship until you both can figure out what yall want."

"I know what I want its him..I think" Courtney sat up staring at me "You think!?"

I nodded," Please tell me you haven't been messing with Braxton!"

I shook my head biting my lip if I actually got the chance to see what's in those pants," No why?"

Her eyes widened," You haven't heard the rumors." I shook my head eager to know," No what's the tea."

"Well you have been in your feelings so I shouldn't expect you to know" I gasped slightly offended "Shut up you heffa!" I screeched.

She laughed," I'm just saying like you have been in your feelings, but on to the tea."

I crossed my legs waiting for her to spill she was always a tease when it came to me knowing certain gossip," Braxton well him and his new girl been getting kind of serious as you know.. I heard from Keisha that Brittany told her she overheard the girl whatever her name is that she might be pregnant from him." I rolled my eyes that was a complete waste of my time.

"Girl nobody believes that he said she said bull" I laughed. Most likely it was somebody making up a rumor to try to get people to talk. It's so pathetic what people will do and say for attention or  acknowledgement. "I'm dead ass I think its true" I coughed.

"Your super stupid", she hit me on the arm smiling. "Don't do me Michelle ill beat your thick ass."

I laughed even harder," Girl that's more a compliment than anything.'

We laughed some more than I got up getting ready to take a shower I was really lost on what to do. Maybe my bestfriend was right Steven and I should just co parent until we graduate and see if we still feel the same towards each other.

It was going to be hard seeing him with somebody else but I think I could manage not to slap a bitch only if he respected me and my daughter and not bring his hoes around Aliyah. I ran my fingers through my hair massaging my scalp with the shampoo.

After I got out the shower Courtney blow dried my hair curling it for me I didn't want it curled but she insisted on being a hairdresser for the night. I couldn't sleep at all that night I tossed and turned until my back ached and my shoulders tensed up. My phone buzzed on the nightstand I grabbed it clicking on the bedside lamp it was a text from Braxton.

Braxton: "Michelle I know your probably going to read this when you wake up but I love you and Ill never stop loving you. Your on my mind constantly I just cant seem to shake you from my head. I know that I'm dating someone else and so are you but that doesn't stop me from wanting to kiss you every chance I  get. Anyways I just wanted to let you know I broke up with Elora and I'm just going to focus on getting my head straight and off of you."

I kept reading the text over and over this isn't what I needed to ease my mind at three o'clock in the morning.
