The Untold Story of A Single Mother

Chapter Nine

JJ: Hey

Me: Hi

JJ: Who's the reject of me over there?

Me: That's Tyler, he's new here. We met in the hallway.

*silence begins to form*

JJ: So you're really gonna keep this baby?

Me*looking confused* What do you mean? Of course I am.

JJ: Nat I'm not ready to be a father, I have a future with basketball and a baby would...

Me: A baby would be what? A distraction? So what are you saying Jason?

JJ: Maybe you should consider getting an abortion.

I couldn't believe this bastard. He wanted me to kill the baby. I was so disgusted and the thought of an abortion made me sick. Enough was enough, he had unleashed the inner bitch in me.

Me: Tf you mean abortion? I'm not a killer Jason and even if I was, you think getting that would make all of this go away? No it wouldn't.

JJ: Nat *tries to grab me*

Me: Dont touch me! *my eyes get watery* You are a coward no you are a little bitch that would rather sweep his problems under the rug instead of facing them like a man.

JJ: I thought we were being careful

Me: Well I guess careful just wasn't good enough. *gets up from table* You ummm *clearing throat* You dont have to worry about us, we will be fine without you.

As I departed the table, I couldn't stop the tears from falling. I just wanted to get far away from his ass. How did I not see this coming? It was a typical bitch ass move for any other nigga to make but I never thought Jason would be the one to run away. Wishful thinking huh! I made my way back to table and the thought of what he said still lingered in my head.

Kels: Girl what happened?

Me: Nothing

Kels: Well something happened!

Me: I said nothing happened so just drop it ok!

Kels: Fine. *as she rushed from the table* Pregnant ass getting mad at me...

Ty: You know she really cares about you

Me: I know, I'm just a little upset right now

Ty: Wanna talk about it?

Me: No, you wouldn't understand.

Ty: Well when you're ready for me to understand, I'm one call away *writes number on napkin* See you around.

Ty was right, she did care. I hate taking my attitude out on Kels but with the pregnancy and that news JJ just told me, I couldn't control my feelings at this point. I just hope Kels would forgive me and understand once I explained it to her. I couldn't afford to lose her friendship right now. I needed to cool off and with 4 more hours left at Russell Clark, I just hope I could make it without exploding on anyone else.
