Tahj POV

"Hold on, hold on, hold on. He told you that after you told him you were pregnant. Just so he can go to some lil FSU? I mean yea I understand that's his future career but if anything at least help out financially, he helped create this baby he needs to damn sure help take care of it. Ooo I hate dead beat dads." Amber was going off and funniest part is she was angrier than I was. I wasn't upset about the situation more so hurt. I guess you could say I was numb because not everything quite set in yet however the more I thought about it, the more sad I felt. I let a tear slip my eye and I'm assuming Amber realized because she spoke up "uh uh do not cry over him, if he won't be that baby's daddy shoot I will. Believe that!" I laughed and hugged her, "Thanks Amb, I'm going to get going I got class in the morning and on top of that I still have work to do." We said our goodbyes and left.

I can easily say I was about a block away from my dorm. Yes this campus is HUGE but it's always lively regardless of the hour so I never feel uncomfortable walking home. I turned the corner and accidentally walked into someone. "Wow Tahj just wow. I'm sorry about that by the way, I gotta pay more attention to where I'm going" I told the female I bumped into. "Oh don't worry about it, I'm sure this wouldn't have happened if I was paying attention as well. Oh but I'm-"

"Tatiyana where you walk of to" I heard a very familiar voice ask. "Babes if you turn the corner you'll find me." Just then Oscar came around the bend and looked like he saw a ghost. " I was just apologizing because I bumped in to..." she trailed off waiting for my name. "Tahj, but I should get going don't worry about it. You guys are very cute by the way." And with that I left to finish my walk home. I couldn't help but think of how beautiful she was, she resembled Sevyn Streeter just a tad bit shorter and that all the more made me mad at Oscar. I should have exposed his ass but I'm not about to invite karma in my life.

I finally made it to my dorm and got started on this work. I am honestly very proud of myself that I haven't broken down yet because Lord knows this is going to be a struggle and I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little bit happy about having a baby. Just as I opened my textbook, I got a call from Amber.

"Aww checking to see if your bestfriend made it home safely" I said once I answered the phone.

"Ah ke ke ke no hoe I was calling to ask if you got this email from the diner, like damn I didn't even know her old ass knew how to make emails" she said referring to our boss. "Amb she's not that old" I said defending Miss Jacquline. "Seriously Tahj? She helped proofread the bible, anyway you checked the email?" I was reading the email as she asked and all it mentioned was that there was going to be new management, I mean I was sad to see Miss Jacquline go but I didn't see the big deal.

"Amber this email, why did you want me to check it?" I heard her sigh "Obviously you didn't read the full thing." And indeed she was right, at the bottom it said that they were going to be making cuts in order to maintain budget. A little bit of fear settled in my heart.
