Catt Pov.

It's about a week until prom and then graduations a week after.My last years of high school have never been so.....real?

It was raining all day today but it didn't stop me from talking a walk to think.Niq and Roc were still trying to figure things out at home since yesterday.There're lucky they have our uncle to referee if things get crazy.But for me,I haven't even text of said a word to anymore since I left school.I watched at the corner seeing Prince going to the movies with his so called "friends".We actually got into a huge fight.....which we never do,but this time we both said a little too much that hurt us.

I sat down on a bench in front the dance studio smoothing my black raincoat down,clutching onto my Hello Kitty umbrella,watching cars go by.I looked back to an empty studio with a small shadow moving in the dim light.Its like a flashback of dancing with him captured a moment.All the music we've made,when we would stare at each other,how his chef made the best sugar cookies. Now,I'm alone.

I smiled wiping away a tear feeling a presents sit next to me.

"Ya know life sucks." Robin began."You never know what happens next..which is scary."

I glanced over at her wearing her dance wear under an umbrella next to me.

"Have I ever told you before me and Chris were together he was my best friend?"

I shook my head amused.

"We've been friends since first grade and I could remembered everyone thinking oh a boy couldn't be friends with a girl because it wasn't right but now it's funny because now a black girl can't have a white boyfriend because they don't think it's right.All the dirty looks and drama we've been through and he's still my best friend.Whether he messed up or I did we always forgave each other because it was out of love."

"Then why do they both feel like a stranger to me now?"

"Well with Prodigy its more of a mind thing than emotion thing like with Princeton.Prodigy it's the what you need or want if you want to be real with yourself Catt.Because......When guys love someone so much they wimp out,they become this hard person wanted to forget you even existented in this fucked up world we live in."she lightly laughed."Prince is afraid and you are too.You both won't step over the boundaries of your friendship because you both don't know how much you love each other!"
I stood up shaking my head."I guess but your wrong about us.He doesn't love me,and I don't love him in that way."I said before walking off getting a text from Roc Nellie's in labor.

"Catt your fucking not stupid!Listen to me,listen to him!"she yelled.

I don't.I don't love him.I don't love Princeton like that.

Roc pov.

We were all at the hospital visiting Nell and OC.She had a baby girl for him this crapy morning.I've never in my life seen OC cry until this day.I know the feeling,the proud moment of becoming a father.Its an amazing feeling just holding their little weightless body in one hand.

"What's her name?"Unique asked as we watched her in the nursery.

"Nila."I cleared my throat.

"Pretty."she grinned shortly.

"Look."we both started,turning to each other at the same time.
"You go first."she said while looking down.I picked her head up getting serious.

"I am sorry for hurting you."My voice cracked."I honestly need you in my life and I am telling the truth when I say I would never cheat on the woman I love and respect.You and Jewelz mean the world to me and our next child will be a added bonus to our little family.I wanna be the first person it lays its eyes on.I wanna be the first to change its diapers and be the last to put it to sleep.I don't wanna be the stranger to our family.I just wanna be there for my family."
I looked down at the tears forming in her eyes.
"I guess I said too much from the heart."I smiled wiping her face with my sleeve.She shook her head as we stood there hugging for hours it seemed."I love you."she whispered.

"I'll always love you."I whispered back.
