Lucky Number Seven: A Roc Royal Story

Chapter 9: Tears

(Tuesday, 3:46)

-Camryn's POV-

It's the end of the day now and I know Jay is bound to notice that I've been distant since lunch. I figured I'll just tell him that he kissed ME. Which isn't a lie, and that's all he needs to know. I feel SO bad about this, I feel like I can't even talk to Alicia about this. I walked to my locker nervously, hoping Jay wouldn't be there.

Just my luck. Of course he was there, with a big smile on his face. A tear slipped out of my eye, and i quickly wiped it away, but not quick enough for him to not notice. His facial expression changed from happy to worried, and he ran up to me. He grabbed my hands.

"What's wrong baby?" He's the perfect boyfriend, and I cheated. I broke down in his arms. He held my face and said "What's going on Camryn?" I inhaled. "I need to talk to you." I said still sobbing. "What's up." "Please don't hate me Jay I'm so sorry please." He paused for a few seconds. "What happened Camryn, I promise I won't hate you." I wiped my face. "I-I-I cheated." He closed his eyes immediately and slid down the locker until he was sitting. "What?" he almost whispered. "Chre-Roc kissed me and I just...I didn't know what I was doing. When I realized I stopped." I saw his fists ball up. I sat beside him.

"Jay, I'm so sorry. I promise that's not like me, I don't-I'm not t-that kind of person." He stayed silent. He stood up,looking down and gently pulling my hand to make me stand up too. "You're perfectly sweet to me and I just...I'm really sorry." He finally looked up at me. He wiped the tears off of my face. "Don't cry. I know you're not a cheater." he paused, still looking in my eyes. "I think it's better if we...take a break. I want to be with you Camryn. And we will, I'll just...wait for you to decide what you want ok?" I started to bawl. He kissed my forehead, wiping my tears away before he walked away.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

-Chresanto's POV-

I been thinking about Camryn all day, I still can't figure out why I kissed her. Or what it is about her that draws me to her. I decided to stay after for basketball practice, even though I didn't have clothes, since I've been missing a lot of practices lately. On my way to my locker to get a few dollars for the vending machine, I saw Camryn crying, and that new kid that she apparently goes out with walking away.

I swear to God if that nigga did something to her. "AYE." I yelled after him. He looked back at me, chuckled, and kept walking. "Aye." I said jogging to catch up to him. He raised his eyebrows. "Why is she over there crying." I said stepping in front of him. He was a lil taller than me but I could take him. "Aye how about you mind your damn business." he said. "If you did something to her I'll beat your ass." "I DIDN'T DO NOTHING TO HER. YOU THE ONE KISSING MY FUCKING GIRL." he said shoving me. "Well by the way she kissing back, it seemed like she ain't want me to stop." I said smugly, pushing his buttons.

He punched me in the chin. I stumbled back a few steps and caught him in the eye and we were starting to fight before Camryn came between us. "STOP! What are ya'll fighting for!" He laughed and shook his head, walking away. "You was the one crying when we got your big sis." he mumbled chuckling. "WHAT!?" I said walking towards him. What the fuck is he talking about, how does he know. "Chres please." Camryn said, pushing me backward, still crying. "I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU KILLED MY SISTER." I said. He nodded, going farther down the hallway. "Chres!" I walked away. I punched the lockers a few times. I promise I will kill that nigga if he had anything to do with my sister's death.

"FUCK!" I screamed punching a big ass dent in some locker. Camryn was frozen in place. I guess I scared her. I walked towards her. "I'm sorry." I sighed. She backed away. "Why did you mess with him." she said angrily. "I-I thought he did something to you." "Yeah he BROKE UP WITH ME. BECAUSE OF YOU." she said screaming in my face. "You already ruined my relationship. Why did you have to go and mess up things further. MIND YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS CHRESANTO." "Camryn do you really want to be with him." I asked. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK. YOU RUINED. EVERYTHING. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO FUCKING KISS ME." she continued to scream. I was getting kinda mad/hurt, I mean she's popping off on me for no reason, she knows she felt it too. I grabbed her arms. "Calm the fuck down Camryn."

She kept screaming. "WHAT ARE YOU GONNA PUNCH ME LIKE YOU DID THAT LOCKER? ARE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER TEMPER TANTRUM LITTLE BOY?" I pinned her wrists above her on the locker. "Calm. Down," I said in her face. "Get the fuck off of-" I cut her off, smashing my lips into hers. Fuck man, why do I keep kissing her. She doesn't want me obviously. My hands slid down to her waist. We was getting kind of into it, but all of a sudden she pushed me off her. "I said we would talk tomorrow." she said lowly before walking away. Shit.

What the hell am I doing?

-Camryn's POV-

I walked home, trying to push the events of the day out of my head. I needed to talk to my sister. I walked in the house and knocked on her door. She assumed it was me I guess. "Get away loser." I sighed before starting to walk away. "Wait. I-I-I'm sorry. Just...uh...come in please." I opened the door. There were takeout, pizza boxes everywhere and empty containers of ranch and orange juice all over the place. Wow, I guess she really is pregnant. I sat down on the bed beside her. It's always awkward talking to her, we haven't really gotten along since we were like 8. "Are you okay?" She nodded stiffly. "I guess you've heard around that I'm..." she trailed off, starting to cry.

I hugged her tight and rubbed her back. She pulled away, wiping her tears and sniffling. "I'm fine though. I'm gonna get a job, an-and get my own place, and I'm going to raise this baby." she said forcing a smile. "I know you can do it Cayla." I said smiling. "What about...school?" She shook her head. "I figured I-I can finish off the school year and get my high school diploma since there's only a few months left." I nodded. "You can do this Cayla." I restated. "So is the father going to-" Cayla quickly touched my hand, signaling me to stop. She shook her head. "If you need any help with anything, just let me know. I'd love to help you out."

She smiled, holding my hand. "Thank you Camryn. That means alot coming from you." she paused. "I've been a bitch to you for so long. This baby has really made me grow up in just the month that I've known about it. For you to support me through this despite of how I treated you just..." she started to cry again. I hugged her once again, as she sobbed. Once she let go. She smiled at me. "What?" I asked. "You and Roc huh?" "Uh, I don't know about all that." she chuckled. "You guys seem right for eachother. Give him a chance. He's a great guy." she said. Her eyes looked distant. I guess she was thinking about their old times. I nodded, starting to think about him also.

"Thank you." she said again. "No problem. If you need anything, let me know. I wanna make sure my little neice or nephew gets what they need." I said smiling and getting up to leave. "Wait Camryn, there is one thing you can do." she said. I stopped "Yeah, what's up." "Can you bring me some bananas and orange juice?" I laughed. "Sure."
