Burned at Both Ends // Sequel

I wake up to Balz knocking on my door. I open my eyes and sigh.

"What? It's too early," I mumble.

"Cheyenne it's 3pm and someone's here to see you," He says.

"Who?" I mutter.

"Jessica,"

I shoot right up with a glare on my face.

"There is no way I am talking to her!" I snap.

"Come on just talk to her,"

"I only just woke up and I'm already in a mood, thank you," I snap at him.

I get out of bed and stomp down the stairs.

"What do you want?" I glare at Jessica.

"Well I uh was thinking that we should forget and forgive each other seeing how I'm gonna have your boyfriends baby and well I'll be around a lot," Jessica explains.

"Why the hell do you have to forgive me? I didn't even do anything to you for you to have to forgive me for shit!" I spat.

"You stole Ricky from me when we were dating!" Jessica snaps.

"Like hell I stole Ricky! Ricky didn't love you like he loves me!"

"Then why am I having a baby with him?" Jessica challenged.

I suppressed the need to scream at the top of my lungs and rip her hair out.

"Just leave," I spit.

"Wait. I'm sorry, please forgive me for all the horrible things I have done to you," Jessica begs.

"Fuck no! I will never ever forgive you!" I scream in her face.

Jessica has tears going down her cheeks by now, whether it's her hormones acting up or what.

Ricky comes rushing to the door and sees her crying.

"Cheyenne! What did you do?!" Ricky snaps at me.

"I didn't do shit!" I glare at him.

"Well obviously you did something!"

"N-no she was just being honest with me, I'm sorry I'll leave," Jessica cries.

"No wait Jessica you stay, Cheyenne I think it's best if you leave for the day," Ricky says blankly.

Tears build up and fall. Why is he taking her side instead of mine?!

"Why are you taking her side?!" I scream at Ricky.

"She is a pregnant women! Not to mention that is my child!" Ricky screams right back at me.

"I thought you didn't want the kid!!" I cry.

"I thought about it, and, and I want the baby," Ricky gives Jessica a small smile.

I could see the invisible sparks flying between them.

"Wow so when your girlfriend back in high school wants to beat up your friend you'll take her side, but when your current girlfriend only wants you to make your cheating ex-girlfriend go away you won't take her side" I cry. "I must not mean as much to you has she does,"

"You mean everything to me but.. But this is Jessica and she's pregnant, please just leave," Ricky just stared at me.

"Fine, you wanna have the baby with Jessica, you want me to leave and have her stay, so be it, I'll leave, goodbye Richard we are through have a happy little family with her, but don't come crawling back to me when she cheats again!" I shout in his face.
