"So what happened?" Derek asked as he drove along the road to my house. I unbuckled my seatbelt and climbed in the back of the car.

"What do you mean?" I asked trying to change my clothes.

"I saw your neck. And you look like you've been crying. A lot too" He said and I shrugged knowing he can't fix it.

"Oh nothing serious. Demetri came for me in Aruba, marked me the tried to strangle me." I replied trying to pull up my black ripped skinny jeans in the confined space of the car.

"Oh yeah, one of his sisters mistaked me for one of his whores." I said taking off my sweat shirt and climbing back into the front of the car in my jeans and bra.

My black hoodie in my hand. Derek glanced over at me then back to the road.

"Ouch," he said pretending to wince "So what are you going to do now?" He asked as I pulled my black hoodie over my head, the hoodie was marked 'hangover hoodie'

"Well now, I'm going home to put my stuff away then go do something, before I hurt somebody." I replied and he smiled as I pulled my hair out of the elastic then ruffeled it making it fall down over my shoulders.

"How's Em?" I asked as he turned onto my street.

"She's fine." He said smiling "She threw up this morning but she was fine before I left." He said and my eyebrows raised.

"What did you do? Knock her up already?" I asked staring at him.

"No I just..." He began but stopped as realization hit him, his eyes widened and he stopped before my gate.

I laughed punching his shoulder.

"Congrats bro." I said and he frowned as he panicked.

"She's gonna hate me for this." He said and my smile fell and broke.

"What do you mean?" I asked "why would she hate you?"

"She wants to go to college a baby will destroy her dreams." He said gripping the staring wheel tightly.

"Der, it'll be fine. She can handle both." I said putting a hand on his shoulder. "It's not like me, where I can't play football with a baby in my belly. She doesn't do sports. And if you guys need a babysitter I'm here and Monique is here too." I said and he looked at me in horror.

"I would never leave my child with Mo. Are you crazy?!" He asked with an expression of horror on his face and I laughed.

His face was just too priceless.

"Look, just don't tell her okay. Let her find out and tell you." I advised him "Oh and chamomile-ginger tea is really great for morning sickness." I told him and he nodded.

I thanked him for the ride then got my stuff from the back seat and my suitcase from the trunk then made my way to the house.

I openen the door and stepped through.
"Jessabell, you're back." My mother said and I turned and looked at her.

Too tired to slap her up with my words I said,
"Yeah, I'm back for a while." I stepped past her and lifted my case up the stairs and into my room. I dropped my case and backpack by the door then walked into the closet and pulled out a pair of black ankle boots.

I picked up my black bracelets and put in my black knob earnings. I put my phone in a black dreamer phone case and grabbed my dark glasses and car keys then made my way to the garage. Unlocking my black jeep I got in and threw my boots and phone on the passenger's seat.

The two hundred dollars I had grabbed from my dresser I placed in the glove compartment, then i drove off. As I was driving through the empty streets of wolf creek my phone began ringing. I picked it up and glanced at the caller ID but hung up when I saw it was Demetri.
