The Outcome

Unexpected Payback

It had been two days since Kelani heard from Ashley, well every since she had kicked him out of her house the other night, she was even avoiding him at work, but he hadn't had the chance to explain anything to her. Kelani felt like his mom was betraying him and Ashley had stop talking to him so it was just him and his thoughts. It was Monday and the Bell had rung for the lunch, Kelani went out into the breezeway at their school and sat on the bench because he wasn't hungry. Nichole had walked up and seen the look on kelani's face which was a depressing look. "Hey, I don't mean to bother you,but did you get my text a couple days ago?" Nichole asked hesitantly. "Yeah , I got it..so I suppose you're pregnant by me huh?" Kelani replied. "Well...yeah, but my mom found out because I had been vomiting non stop and craving weird things and she made me take a test and it came back positive and she started cursing me out and asked me who the father was and I told her it was you and she asked if you knew and I told her no and then she asked if I think you'd want the baby and I told her I didn't know and she said if you didn't I'd have to get an abortion." Nichole said. Kelani hopped up off the bench and said "An abortion?! Hell nah that's definitely not going to happen!" Nichole stood up and said "if I keep it , you'll have full custody because my mom says I have to go to college and a baby's not going to hold me up." Kelani thought for a second. . Could he really take care of a baby by himself? He'd have to though because he refused to have his child get killed or given to some strangers. So he told Nichole "that's fine, I was man enough to lay down with you and now I can be man enough to take care of my responsibility", Nichole smiled and said "well my mom wants to talk to your mom so text me and let me know when it's convenient for your mom." Kelani said "yeah , I gotchu. And lemme ask you some , how you so sure it's my baby?" Nichole then had a angry look on her face and said "Nigga don't try me like a hoe, YOU was the only boy I've EVER had sex with! And that's a promise!" Kelani nodded his head up in down and said "my fault , my fault . I'll hit you later" . The only reason he believed her was because her mom was strict and it took him a while to even have sex with her so he knows she's very cautious about who she sleeps with. "Alright and I go to the doctor Thursday if you want to come and oh yeah , payback a bitch isn't it." Nichole said. Kelani had a puzzled look on his face as he watched Nichole walk away. Kelani walked to the science wing of his school which was where his next class was and as soon as he got over there the Bell rung to change classes so he was right on time. He saw Ashley coming out of her class and tried to talk to her but she put her hand in his face and kept walking. He really needed somebody and it hurt to have no one.
