Growing Up A Graham

Chapter 5

Melanie:

"Leilani, I'm going to go to the store, is there anything you'd like for me to pick up?" I peeked my head inside of her sewing room

"Since when do you go grocery shopping Melanie? Be home by 10."

I swear to god, this woman is a mind reader.

"Okay, thanks," I mumbled before closing the door

I ran back up to my room to put something a bit more "sexier" on before grabbing my purse and car keys. As I opened my door, Brayden was standing there leaning against the frame with his crutches tucked under his armpits.

"Is there a thot convention tonight?" He smirked as he eyed my outfit

"Coming from the biggest fuckboy ever?" I scoffed, "What do you want?"

"Do you have anything to smoke?" He asked lowly

"Don't you have painkillers?"

"Yeah but I'm not trying to turn into the weeknd," he chuckled

"Hook me up, or I'll tell dad where you're going."

"Snitch bitch... Check the top drawer," I mumbled before pushing him out of my way

He's such a little bitch, 90 percent of the time I want to smack him. Thank god he'll be handicapped these next couple of weeks so hopefully he won't bother me as much as he usually does.

I quickly made my way out of the house, immediately unlocking my Audi with my key before getting in. There was only one place on my mind to go, and that was to see my baby Ashton. This week as already been too much and it's only Tuesday. From feeling completely terrible the past couple of days, being constantly talked about because dad went to jail, and then the everyday fighting between him and Leilani. It's just tew much. Thank god I have Ashton, he knows how to always make me feel better.

The drive from Hidden Hills to UCLA is usually 35 minutes but traffic made it nearly an hour. Once I finally arrived to his dorm building, I parked my car in the usual spot and walked up to his dorm room. After a few knocks, he opened up the door with a blunt hanging out of his mouth. I grabbed it before giving him a kiss and walking in to the room. I kicked my shoes off and took a seat on the couch.

"What you been up to Mel?" He took a seat next to me

"A lot," I sighed as I straddled him

"I saw that shit about your dad, everything ok?"

"Eh, he's fine. I'm not sure about him and Leilani though," I shrugged, "I'm trying to get my mom up here to pay is a visit. Hopefully they can reconcile and go from there."

"Hmm, well enough about them. I'm trying to marry you Mel," he began kissing my neck

"You always say that."

"I mean it though, as soon as you turn 18, then we can get started on a family."

"You mean that?" I smiled

"Of course," he said lowly as she pulled my shirt off, "I forgot to mention how beautiful you look today."

"I have a little surprise for you," I reached and grabbed my purse

"This lingerie isn't my surprise?" He unhooked my bra

"No, this," I pulled the plastic bag out and handed it to him

"What's this? A pregnancy test?" He pulled the stick out

"Remember how I told you I've been feeling like shit? Harley talked me into taking one."
