Chilez p.o.v

"I don't know what it is about her. She's  special. She's nothing like those other girls I've fucked wit in the past T." Trey and I were on the court warming up before practice. I usually like to be early and pumped up for practice. Basketball is my passion. I've been playing every since I was 9. "Man you may think I'm just talking out my ass but I think she's the one for me," I said to Trey. Trey didn't respond which was unusual, when I looked at his face I could tell something was bothering him. "What's wrong my guy? You know you can talk to me bout anything man. We family." He began shakin his head as if he was trying to get rid of bad thoughts. "Rachell's pregnant," he said. "Yooooo, fr? Shouldn't you be excited man? I thought you wanted a mini you." "Yeah, I do. But I don't want two mini me's.. Especially not two from different mothers," T said. "You didn't." He looked at me with sad eyes, "It was three weeks back after that birthday bash. Remember that luh bit named Tonya? We rented a room up in the lodge and one thing led to another. I didn't use protection. The dirty bitch gave me a STD and I got it checked out so I could get the treatment. Whenever she went to the doctor they ran hella test on her and it turns out that the bitch is pregnant. It's a possibility I ain't the father tho. She admitted to being raped by her trifling ass daddy a month prior to us fucking. But other than that we're the only people who could be the father." I didn't even have words. I honestly felt bad for my bro. He and Rachell are a perfect match for each other. They're like peanut butter and jelly. Now don't get me wrong, he did fuck up when he cheated, and it's even worse because he could have gotten the girl pregnant. However, him and Rachell been in love for so long and I know this will break her especially since she's carrying his baby as well. "And you wanna kno what's the most fucked up part about all this? I ain't even going to be here when they're born. You know I got to go back to the pin next Monday. That's a whole year I won't be here. I ain't gonna to be able to be there through every hard or happy moment throughout Ray's pregnancy. I ain't even gonna be able to meet the lil dude or hold em. Shit really crazy forreal yo." I stood there listening to my life long bestfriend vent, "I can't say I feel you because I'm not in your shoes but I know they're tough ones to fill in. Especially with all that you have goin on. But I get you're under a lot of pressure right now man. But you also have to do the right thing regardless of how you feel or how you think Rachell's going to react. She's gonna be mad for sure but the love is too strong for her to just say fuck you and everything y'all got. Tell her what you did and about the baby. I got ya back no matter what happens. And even though you may not be here she'll be in good hands. Between me and Miracle we'll make sure lil mama and ya seed straight." After those words left my mouth I can't believe my eyes. My own bestfriend, the dude I've known since forever, broke down in front of me. I've never seen him cry like this before other than when his mom died. I can tell he regrets doing what he did. I just hope Rachell gives him the benefit of the doubt.

Miracle's p.o.v

Chilez😍: Pizza && Netflix??😜
Me: Yo crib or mine? 😋
Before I got a response there was banging on my front door. On the other side waiting was Chilez, 2 boxes of pizza, and two overnight bags. Lately we've been spending a lot of time together. After and before classes, weekends, && she even skipped practice for me. Laughing I said, "You must've knew I was going to say yes huh?" "I mean duh. Why wouldn't you," she replied while biting her lip. Gosh she's so sexy. I couldn't help but stare. "So you gonn let me in or what?" I looked her in the eye, "Or what.. Nah just kidding." Chilez and I made our way to the living room and sat on the couch. "So what's the deal with the bags," I asked. She didn't respond. Instead she unzipped the smallest of the two bags and began pulling out all my favorite snacks and drinks. I don't know if it was because my period would be on soon or what but I teared up at the sight of the stuff. Chilez is such a sweet person, she's so thoughtful. "You're the best man, I couldn't have asked for a better friend," with that I leaned in to kiss her cheek but accidentally kissed her lips. "I'm sorry." She grinned, "For? I did that on purpose. I missed the way ya lips taste and the smoothness of em. But I don't want to be your friend. I want more than that witchu. But I know you're not ready yet so I'm  waiting for ya. You're worth the wait." Her words were pinned to my heart with an invisible safety pin. After eating pizza and a hell of a lot of snacks && watching three movies we were both exhausted. Chilez was sleeping over tonight so we didn't really have to worry about leaving out the house again. "Rachell's pregnant." Chilez looked at me, "Yeah I know, she-," before she could respond my phone started ringing. "And if it ain't the devil herself, we were just talking about you." I heard crying on the other end, "He cheated on me. Trey cheated on me." I was dumbstruck and didn't know what to say. My pregnant bestfriend was on the other end breaking down because her boyfriend of many years cheated on her. "I'm on my way over there. You need anything?" "No just you, my heart hurts so bad." "I know baby, I know. I'll be over in a sec." We said our goodbyes and hung up.  "Did you know about this," I asked Chilez. "Yeah. I found out today. But was it my place or business to tell? Nah. So stop lookin at me like that." "I'm lookin at you like this because my dumb ass was actually going to give you a chance but you and your bestfriend are as one. You're just like him. I don't have time to be boohoo crying over you. I'm leaving. You know the way out," and with that I left.

Chilez p.o.v

I can't believe it. How could Miracle change her mind about me because of some shit Trey did? We aren't the same. Honestly I was worst than him because this is just a one time thing whereas I used to cheat all the time. But I think differently now. She changed my whole mindset and she doesn't even aknowledge my effort. "Hi my name's Stacy, here's your menu. What would you like to drink?" I was currently at IHOP trying to distract myself from thinking about Miracle. "Uh, sweet tea." She smiled && replied, "Okay, I'll be back with your drink and ready to take your order." I'm not gonna lie, Stacy pretty as hell. The old me would've just said fuck some pancakes and took her back to my crib. Shawty got a nice figure, she's slim but has a little poke, dark skin with some juicy lips and a pretty smile. Since I was the only person here I got my food pretty quickly and Stacy and I got acquainted. "Yeah, this is my third year attending FSU. It's pretty cool here to me considering I've been a country girl all my life. Everything's much faster here and bigger." I listened to her tell me about herself. Before long her shift was over and we were at my apartment chilling and smoking. All of a sudden I heard knocking on the door. I looked at the time to see its 3:47 am, who the fuck could be coming here this late. When I opened up, Miracle was on the other side of the door. She didn't speak, she pushed past me and headed towards my living room. "Oh hey, I'm Stacy," Stacy said. Miracle turned to me with a smug look on her face and then looked back at Stacy, "Nah, you're leaving." I couldn't help but laugh at her. "Um Chilez you betta check ya hoe," Stacy warned. "Girlfriend. && she don't need to check me. You should check yourself. If I said you needed to leave then you should be making your way out the door now. It's called respect. I understand y'all was chilling or what not but it's going on 4am and I'm tired. Now can you please go? I'm sure you know the way out." I stood there amused, Stacy slowly got her belongings and left. I was laughing but the look on Miracle's face made my laughter come to a stop.
