I paced around my bedroom all day thinking about the worst case scenario. I'd never felt such tension and anxiety as I do now and I felt like I'd break down again.

"You're crying again!" Shay groaned in irritation. "Calm down. It's going to be okay."

OKAY?

How the fúck will it ever be okay again?

"Shay, what should I do? My life is ruined!" I whined as I paced back and forth. "I don't—I can't live like this! I wanted a better future! I can't have his kids yet. Oh, fuck. Fuck! I'm going to be a single teenage mom. No one will ever marry me."

She looked at me questioningly. "Who the fúck even told you that you can just have sex and not use a condom? That's like the number one rule!"

"Stephen didn't want to use one!" I cried, sitting down on my bed and staring at a space.

She grimaced. "Did he know you weren't taking birth control pills?"

"He thought I was."

"Bítch." Shay threw her hands in frustration. "I'm done with you."

I stood back up and uttered a million curses in ny head. The test tube was shaking under my grip as I waited. "What do I do?"

"I mean, let's face it. You are carrying his baby. There's no other way to look at it."

No. NO! Why? I can't!

"Oh my god!" I sunk my head on my hands. "My future is over! My parents are going to kill me!"

I mean, how would I survive the amount of judgement I'd get from people? How would Stephen react?

I almost had the chance to tell him yesterday but the fact that he talked to me and apologized. Damn, I almost forgave him then and there.

And now how would I tell him? He left Bay yesterday morning, but I mean, he actually left me in general too so...

"This is crazy," Shay said, shaking her head as she stared at an empty space. "Here you are getting your future slowly crushed, and your baby daddy is out there hoeing around."

Stephen and I have a baby. I can't believe it.

Suddenly, my door burst open and Asher came in bringing his iPad like a big boss and sat on my bed casually.

"Asher, get the fúck out!" I whined.

He stayed sitting on my bed, playing games on the iPad. "You're screwed, Zay."

"Nigga, were you eavesdropping on us?! Get out!"

"Ash, your sister is in a really problematic situation right now," Shay explained. "And it's, uh, for mature people to talk about."
