chapter 13

-The Next Day-

I rolled over  looking around the room until i felt a breeze. i looked under the cover to discover that i was completely naked i chuckled lowly so last night really did happen. im not a virgin anymore  : )  i looked over to see that jacob was gone. i stood up getting out of the bed to only end up falling right back down. " oh shit." i mumbled to myself. my legs were so numb they felt like they wasn't even working. i sighed then grabbed a towel and dragged myself to the bathroom. after spending 30 minutes handling my hygiene i was dressed in my usual curly hair was now up into a bun. after cleaning up jacob's room and he still didn't come back i decided to go look for him. i walked down stairs and he was in the kitchen sitting at the table he look so stressed as he stared at the papers in front of him. " goodmorning." i said to let him know i was in the kitchen.

" morning." he said simply not even looking up. " i made breakfast.. help your self." he said as he continued to stare at the papers.

i grabbed a plate and put 2 pieces of bacon on it some eggs and a pancake. once i grabbed a fork i sat at the table next to him watching him as i ate. he didn't look up from those papers ONCE i was getting curious as to what those papers actually were but i didn't want to be nosey so i didn't look at them. after i was through eating i put up the left over food in an bowl then washed all of the dishes. and while i was doing that he was still looking at the papers. " jacob." i said trying to get his attention.

" yes?" he said in a low tone.

" whats wrong?" i asked  him. he let out a loud frustrated sigh as he knocked all of the papers off of the table and let his head fall down into his hands. i instantly got worried and ran next to him. " baby whats wrong... talk to me." i pleaded. after a log silence he finally spoke up.

"im just real stressed..." he admitted. " moms been in the bed sick for 3 Weeks straight meaning she aint been to work and i stopped selling drugs meaning aint no money coming in." he told me. "all the bills are due and im just wondering how the fuck this shit gone get paid... pretty soon its gone be an eviction notice hanging on the door." he said as he shook his head. i felt bad. real bad. and there was no way in hell that i was going to let him and his mom end up out on the streets. i picked up the bills off of the floor looking at the amount owed. i calculated it out real quick in my head then i looked towards jacob.

" ill pay them." i told him. he slowly lifted his head up towards me.

" what? he asked in a surprised tone.

" i said im going to pay them." i repeated.

" you would do that for me?" he asked.

" of course." i smiled. " i told you im a ride or die and ill be damned if you and your mama end up out on the streets" i told him. he smiled alittle as he pulled me onto his lap kissing me.

" your something else." he said with a smile.

" i know right." i chuckled then pecked him softly on the lips again.

" but no thanks."

i looked at him weirdly. " what?" i asked him.

" i don't want you to pay them." he said louder.

" why?!" i asked getting offended.

" because your my girl, i should be helping you. i can't allow you to pay my bills." jacob said truthfully he was saying that because he knew that if a girl paid his bills it would kill all his confidence and thats exactly why he didn't even ask his own father he didn't want to depend on anyone.

" thats ridiculous!" i screamed at him as i stood up. " why won't you let me help you?" i questioned. it just didn't make sense to me.

" because i said no lyric! now drop it." he shouted as he stood up from the table he went up stairs leaving me down there. i looked back down at the table then i dug into my purse counting the money my parents left me. it was 1500 dollars total because i had to use half of that to pay off my dance stuff. but jacob was way more important than dancing and what he didn't understand is that id give all of that up for him. i sorted the money out and put the amount on top of each bill that was needed after wards i walked into the living seeing a computer desk i looked over there until i found some stamps and envelopes. i placed each bill individually into envelopes then placed a stamp on each after filling out the correct info then everything was ready to be mailed off. i grabbed my purse then walked outside getting into my car.
