Chapter 23

Ray rubbed on his temples while Nicole was still sleep on his bed. He just got done talking with his mom and it was not pretty.

"What the hell are you doing getting a girl pregnant?" his mother said, "Then you don't tell us for four years? What the hell Rayshaun!"

"I'm sorry Ma, but I thought-"

"Oh now you're thinking? When you knocked her up you weren't thinking, when you bought that bitch a house and a car you weren't thinking,"

"She's not a bitch Ma! She's a nice girl and we made a mistake but I-"

"Damn right you made a mistake! You should of told her to fuck off as soon as she told you she was pregnant,"

"What? Mom that's cruel, I know it was me who got her pregnant why would I-"

"But that's the thing, Ray! We would have been the only ones who knew, but the media wouldn't! You would of had your life still!"

"I do still have my life! My daughter and La'Shay are my life!"

"Oh don't give me that crap! You have talent, you can go far with what you can do. You can make so much money with it but what are you doing now? Spending your money on a winey little bastard child,"

"DON'T YOU SAY THAT ABOUT MY DAUGHTER!!! AND I'LL SPEND WHATEVER AMOUNT OF MONEY I WANT ON HER,"

"Oh really? With what money? That little bit of money we left you and the boys? Ha, well you better spend it now because you'll be cut off by tomorrow,"

"What?! You can't do that!"

"I can and I just did. So about that car-"

Ray hung up the phone. Why would she do this to him? Why would she speak so ill of his new family like that? Ray loves his daughter and takes care of her the best way he can and now he can't, this was too much to bare. How could he take care of her and La'Shay with no money?

Then he caught an idea.

*Meanwhile*

Roc walked out of the gym room and headed to the kitchen, things were going so wrong. He should have told her about Princeton and she never would have been this mad at him. She didn't even return his calls, now he can't atleast be friends with her. Its all because of Princeton. Speaking of the devil, Roc steps in the kitchen to find Princeton leaning on the counter with a tub of ice cream and a spoon. He looked terrible! His eyes were red, his hair was in a somewhat ponytail, and he wasn't dressed for class. "What are you still doing here?" Roc asked. Princeton took a big spoon of ice cream and swallowed, "I'm really not in the mood to go today," he said.

"Since when?" Roc asked as he went to the frige, "You always go, no matter what,"

Princeton sniffled, "Something came up last night,"

Roc paused, he smiled to himself and took a water bottle out, he turned and walked to the other side of the counter facing Princeton. "She dropped you huh?" he asked, Princeton looked at him confused. "What?" he asked.

"She dropped you,"

"Who?"

"You know what I'm talking about. Your sideline chick,"

"I don't have a sideline chick. I don't even have a main girl, what are you talking about?"

"Princeton give it a rest already! I know what you're doing, I've known since day one!"

Princeton grunted, "Known what?"

"Princeton, stop playing dumb,"

"I'm not! What are you talking about Roc?"
