Taylor::::::::

It was the middle of the day and Zonnique & I were at the mall. We shopped at forever 21, urban outfitters & nastygal. I missed having her around me. It's like she was the sister i'v always wanted. She's staying with Chres & I until she has to leave. She's been with us for a week now.

"Really? Wow....." Zonnique said. I nodded an sipped my orange soda. "You have nobody?" I nodded my head. I told her about what happened to my family. "I'm so sorry" She said as she grabbed my hand.

I smiled. "It's alright. Changing conversation ..... I have something else to tell you..." I said. "I .... might be pregnant"

Zonnique gasped and hit my shoulder. "You're still a teen! What about school, college, and all these other great things to happen?" She asked. She was right. I had NO idea how I was going to handle this.

"I said MIGHT ..... and if I am, then so be it. I'll find a way" I said shrugging. "I'm just worried about what Chres will say ....." I said scratching my head. "I'm soooooo over whelmed and stressed"

Zonnique sighed. "Relax. I'm .. i'm sure he'll support you. I'll support you. You don't need to be stressin okay? Did you take a test?"

"Nope... I said I might be. I'll take one though" I said. It was quiet for a couple seconds. "Whats up with you & Ray? I see you two looking at each other ..." I said.

Z, instantly started blushing. Her dimples popped out and a smile couldn't leave her face. "We ... we talk heavy" She laughed. "As in, ever since we met, we've been talking every single day" I smiled. They are just soo cute!

I called Chres to see when what he wanted cause he called earlier but I missed it. He didn't answer. I wonder where he is.

Chres::::::::

When I got home, Nathaniel & I walked in. Tay & her friend- I forgot her name, were watching a scary movie. I slowly closed the door and went behind them. "Don't open that door white girl" Her friend said. After she was about to open the closet I said 'boo' and they jumped up so fast!

Taylor's friend jumped up and squared up. She was about to bang the shit outta me! Taylor just ran towards the door but when she saw Nathaniel she jumped on him hugging him. "NAT! OH MY GOD!" Taylor hugging him tight and I heard sniffling so I know Tay was crying. "How are you here? Didn't I need to come confirm something? You hungry? How was jail? How-" I stopped her from talking.

"Bae, let him relax. He's fine. I got him out okay? It was only 700" I said while leading her to the couch. Nathaniel flicked the lights on and went right to Taylor's girl.

"Zonnique? Oh damn!" Nat said licking his lips. He pulled Zonnique in a hug. "Ah.. you smell so good" He said sniffing her neck like a damn weirdo. "Boy bye" Zonnique said playfully

We all sat down. "So .. you all know I was arrested for drug possession. Chres bailed me out and I was released. Mom is gone .... forever" Nat said lowly. "But.... we have some bad news.........." Zonnique and Taylor sat their with a worried look. "Jasmine was charged with first degree murder. She has life" Taylor just got up and went into the bathroom and locked the door.

"Is that possible? She's like 13?" Zonnique asked worried. "That is unbelievable"

"Well, remember that girl who is sentenced to life in prison because she killed her pimp? She was 16 and had life. It's not much of a difference" Chres said. "But I think it's horrible. Little Jas can't handle jail" He added on "This shit is crazy....." Zonnique said. I got up to check on Taylor.

I knocked a couple times. "Baby, are you okay?" I asked. "Bae, open the door" After a few seconds she opened the door and I saw blood on the handle. I looked at her on the floor and saw her cutting herself. I got soo uneasy and I almost passed out. It was so much blood. "Taylor! What the fuck!" I said snatching the razor from her and throwing it in the trash. "What is wrong wrong with you?" I asked.

"EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO ME OKAY? EVERYTHING!! MY MOM IS DEAD, MY SISTER HAS LIFE IN JAIL, MY BROTHER IS FINALLY HOME BUT KNOWING HIM HE WILL PROBABLY END UP BACK IN JAIL, I CAN'T FINISH SCHOOL, I HAVE NO PLACE TO LIVE, NO MONEY, I'M PREGNANT I D-" I cut her off.

"Huh? ..... you're pregnant? Taylor........." I said shocked. Why didn't she tell me?

She bursted out crying. I ran a hot shower for her and helped her in their. I washed her cup up arms and everywhere else. We had a long shower along with a long talk. We needed to find a way to take care of this baby if she is pregnant. She's 15 and i'm only 16. This is all moving too fast for me.
