HIS-Story

Bonus Chapter: HER-Story

"Amber! Hello earth to Amber!" April, my wonderful friend ever since sophomore year of high school waved her small hands in front of my face. "Damn, I guess AJ telling you he loves you made you a love sick puppy," she scoffed.

But little did she know, I was already a love sick puppy. I've been a love sick puppy for four weeks now. It's funny, because AJ and I dated for three months and he already making me love him. With my other boyfriends it took my at least a year to even have strong feelings for him. Ugh!

"I'm not a love sick puppy," I lied as I push her hand away. "I was thinking-"

"About AJ. How sweet." April had a huge smirk on her face, knowing she was right. But I didn't want her thinking that.

"No. I was thinking about the trip. You know the astronomy trip."

April face twisted into disgust. "Ew. That boring ass trip, I remember when I went there with you in senior year. It was boring as hell out there."

"Because you do not like space. I'm going this year with my parents and AJ." I shrugged and turned to finish putting up the groceries I brought this morning.

"So you was thinking about AJ?"

I rolled my eyes and kept my back towards her. "Not entirely. Anyway, I don't really want to go this year. But I don't want to break my parents hurt nor money," I sighed and purposely hit my forehead on the upper cabinet.

"Wow. You have a white person problem. Call Stacy about that."

The thought of Stacy made my stomach cringe, eyes water and my mind replying the horrible memory. My own best friend that I knew since we was babies put a gun to my head; after I saved her life from my boyfriend. Luckily she didn't pull the trigger.

"Um, Stacy and I aren't talking anymore." I stated before turning to April, whom was not affected. "You already know the whole situation, I guess."

She gave me a nod. "I am best friends with AJ too. I was just wanted to see if you would tell me as well. Anywho, let's talk about your trip situation. Just tell your parents, you're 25 years old. They'll understand if your not interested anymore."

I chuckled then shook my head. "Do you know my parents? They are not going to understand."

"How do you know if you don't act on it? As a parent, I understand when Rose do not want to do certain things," she shrugged.

"April," I called. "Your daughter is two."

"And smart as hell! She can open doors now you know, I have to put baby proof locks on the alcohol cabinets now and have to keep a close eye on her when she's walking around. I can't even have sex with Shawn without Rose getting into something," she sighed. "Trust me when I say, when you have kids. Make sure they have someone's else basic intelligence. Because Rose be learning different words so fast, I'm afraid she'll start cursing at the age of five."

A small laugh escaped my mouth as I covered my mouth. "She definitely gets the quick learning from you."

"Of course! She didn't get it from her prison bird father. That piece of shit. He is so stupid," she huffed and shook her head to properly get ride of the memories of her baby father.

"Calm down, he's not worth your thoughts. Okay?"

She slowly nod. "Okay. What time is it?"

I looked down at my phone to see a text from AJ and the time. "2:00." I heard her gasped as I replied back to his text: I may be busy tonight, can we reschedule the date?

"I gotta go. Bye." Before I can say anything, the sound of the door slamming close beat me to it. I sighed and looked back down at my phone to see that he texted back: What you doing?
