Complicated love ( closed )

19.

Erica busted out laughing, and Joey was silent, but both of their facial expressions looked terrifying.

"Cynthia, HOW THE FUCK are you pregnant?!" Erica yelled in my face

I put my head down, and she grabbed my face hard, pulling it towards her.

"Yo, don't be putting your hands on her like that!" Alexis smacked ericas hands down.

"Joey, are you going to say anything?" I shyly said.

"Looks like I'm going to be a Daddy." He said sarcastically with a smirk on his face.

"Wait! So you mean to tell me, that you cheated on me with this bumb? And then got pregnant." Erica said, while she bursted out laughing.

"Man she ain't cheat on your hoe ass. She got with a real nigga, after your nasty ass was with rich. You told her about how you and him fuck all the time? And how you tried to check him the other day, when you saw him with a new bitch?

Her eyes grew, and face turned red. "Boy you don't know me, you don't know what the fuck I do. Stay up out of my business. You obviously weren't good enough, if she came back to me."

"Wait Erica ... Why were you trying to check rich? We're supposed to be together, why you worried about this other nigga?! You were supposed to been dead that. The fuck are you doing. You're a liar!" I screamed in her face.

"Cynthia shut the fuck up. You're the LAST one to be talking to someone right now. You're pregnant. Don't talk to me right now"

"Man Cyn, is it even mine? I mean shit, you're messing with me, Erica, lord knows who else." Joey cackled while saying this.

My blood boiling at this point. It took everything in my soul, not to knock this dude, right in the throat.

"Boy you of out of all people know I don't get down like that. Fuck up out of my spot with all of that bullshit. I came to tell you that this baby is yours. Now if you decide to be around, and help or not. I don't give a fuck. This baby is going to be good with or without you. Regardless of whatever choice you make. Right now, it's not about the relationship we had, because honestly it was just a one night stand, with a friend that was a mistake. I used you to get back at Erica, which was a mistake, because I didn't care for you at all like that."

The room was silent. Joeys face turned red, and I could tell that he was embarrassed. Erica had this smirk on her face, and Alexis was just there sitting in disbelief.

Joey finally spoke up. "If this is how you feel, then there's no reason for me to stick around. You do what you want to do with your kid. I'm out."

He got up, and walked out. Slamming the door behind him.

I just sat there in disbelief, I mean I didn't want him to be in my life, but deep down, I expected him, to be there for his child.

Breaking the awkward silence, Alexis spoke up.
"Well Erica, what are you going to do?"

She was quiet for a second, and then she finally spoke up. "I mean what do you want me to do? I'll be there for her as a friend.

I rolled my eyes, and Alexis stared at me. "Well Cyn, what are you going to do? Joey wants no part in this, and Erica is pretty much done. What do you want? What is your plan?"

"I'm going to take care of this baby. What else do you expect me to do? I don't expect Erica to stick around. I'd be stupid to even think that. Now as far as Joey? I thought we were better than that. But I don't want him thinking that he can be in, and out of this child's life, whenever he feels like it. He said he doesn't want to be around my kid, so I better not hear shit about me, keeping him away from my kid."

She nodded in agreement, and Erica just sat there, staring off into space. I can tell that she wanted to cry, but was trying to keep it in.

"Look Erica, I wasn't trying to hurt you. I didn't expect for any of this to happen. You cheated on me, and I tried to move on. I failed miserably, and got myself into a life time of trouble, over a one night stand. So if I hurt your feelings, I apologize from the bottom of my heart."

She started laughing, and the Tears rolled down her face.

"You didn't mean to hurt me Cynthia?! You're having a whole ass baby!!! HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THAT MAKES ME FEEL?! I WAS TRYING TO GET MY SHIT TOGETHER FOR YOU, AND YOU DO THIS?!!"

"Yo calm the fuck down! At least she waited to get out of a relationship, before she screwed someone else!" Alexis spoke up as she rolled her eyes.

"Man FUCK THAT. I love you Cynthia? You don't get that. I fucked up, and I swear on my life if I could take it back, I would. But you can't take that baby back. So where does that leave us?"

I just sat there, as my eyes started getting watery. I had so many thoughts going through my mind, but I couldn't get them together, enough to actually get them out.

Before I could even say anything, Erica got up, running out of the apartment. Alexis locked the door behind her, and I just sat there with tears rolling down my face.

"Should I even keep this baby?" I whispered to myself.
