Broken

Chapter 6

Leah
Honestly it's not that big of a deal, Cassie can get over it. Now I'm not a grimy bitch.. well maybe a little bit. But she's having a child, and now trying to get in a whole other relationship? She needs to get over herself. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. See Cassie was from the hood, but she didn't like it, always claiming she's not "a product of her OWN environment". She grew up in West Philly, between the projects and Overbrook, near them big houses sitting on the top of the hill. She had everything she ever wanted, her brother is so damn fine! She should be excited he even took one look at her ugly insecure ass! Cuts up and down her legs, goddamn maniac! She's a sick ass bitch!

Now here it is Monday morning and I have a patch over my eye and the side of my head looking like a damn pirate! I don't know what Cassie threw at me, but whatever it was left a big gash on the side of my face and cut my eye up. Honestly I'm glad it wasn't her fist instead, don't get me wrong Cassie was a classy bougie bitch, but she knew how to get down and dirty when it was time. She grew up around all boys, never really hung out with girls, so all she knew was that WWE shit. And best believe she had a couple of real niggas that came running by her side when it was time to get down. Even though she wasn't in the mix, bitches hated her. And I don't care how bad it sounds, but I I'm turning into one of them.... wait but no who would be Jealous of that? Why would I be jealous of that?

Creed
It's been a week since the whole restaurant incident, and I've cursed Cassie ass out and told her she needs to control her tempter, for the baby. But of course her stubborn ass won't listen, at least we graduate in a month.

I watched ass Leah walked by us and rolled the one eye she could. I turned to see if Cassie would do anything reckless but all she did was point at both of her eyes and roll them, petty ass!

"You good from here or you need me to walk you to class?"

"Nope! I'm good I have no classes with her, do I look fat? I think my pants are getting bigger"

"No but you're ass is starting to poke out" I whispered

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing, meet me at my car after school, and stay calm today!" I said and watched her walk away. To be honest I'm stressed out, between Cassie and trying to figure out who I am. I am upset about being lied to for majority of my life by my mother, I can't believe the man I called my father, is not actually mine. When I asked my mother about it, she just flagged me off. Me and her have never had the best relationship, but I'd still never disrespect her, even thought I feel like smacking the shit out of her at times. I'm just going to countdown til graduation and try to maintain focus, but right now I need to roll a little something something and call up one my of my lil jawns. Tonya it was, I thought to myself walking out of the school, I'll just come back at the end of the day to pick Cassie up.

Cassie
"Okay so since we have a month left, we won't really be learning any new materials, just focusing on you're future and what to expect. Most of you guys will be going off to college, and we want to support you in any means possible, and for the rest of you I wish you the best" Ms. Lumork said before the bell rang. I'm in my last period, and our schedules got fucked up so supposedly I have lunch and then I get to leave, I'll probably go home soon though, I've already text Creed. But while I was waiting for him I decided to read one of these pamphlets for HBCU colleges. I really wanted to go to one, I got accepted to NYU, but my mind is set on Howard for some reason. I wasn't to be an interior designer or study psychology. Honestly, my mind is all over the place now. I don't even know why I decided to keep this baby in the first place, how will I support myself? What dreams will I have to put on hold? I might sound selfish but it's even more selfish to bring a baby into this fucked up world without parents. I don't even know the first thing there is to being a mother. The only person supporting me is Creed and his mother, but I hate depending on people. My plan is to move far away from Philly after I graduate, I already have money saved up, I just have to find out where I'm going to go. I refuse to have this baby and have someone else take care of it, so wherever I go has to offer online classes. And then when I feel like the baby is old enough to be without me, I'll start going back to school and finish. And paying for school won't be a big problem, I have colleges offering me four year scholarships, but only if I continue to do track. I was soon pushed out of my future plans as I seen an all white Audi pull up, I already knew it was Creed so I jumped right up and headed to the car. As soon as I got in I buckled up and threw my head back.

"What are you looking at?" I asked Creed as I felt him burning a while in the side of my face.

"Nothing, I figured since you've been down lately I take you out and we can do whatever you like"

"I wanna take a walk downs Pennslanding and get some ice cream!"

"Okay fat girl calm down" he laughed

"Sorry I've just been craving sweets all day, you really think I'm not getting fat?"

"Nah you look fine to me, chill out"

"Okay, And what nasty hoe gave you all them marks on your neck?"
He didn't bother to respond to me, he just laughed and turned up the music. I don't know why but sleep soon took over my body and I was out like a light. The next thing I knew Creed was waking me up telling me we were here already.

We talked and walked for what seemed like hours until my feet started to hurt me, I was only 3 weeks so I wasn't that big. So you couldn't tell I was pregnant, but I was slowly catching the symptoms. Me and Creed talked about our future and he decided to move wherever I did, even thought I told him he didn't have to. Everyone might think he's a drug dealer, but he's far from it. Before his grandfather died he left him his business, a car wash and delivery place. You might not think it's a good living, but he was real wealthy off it. He got the grades, but college wasn't for him. It honestly wasn't any point of him going because he already had a promising future mapped out. Me and him talked about all my college offers and we came to the conclusion that Atlanta or D.C. Would be a better place for me to live and go to college. It might seem fast, but that's what happens when one little person is depending on you to take care and support them for 18 years, wow this is going to be hard but I won't give up.

I kept catching Creed stare at me throughout our whole walk so I finally asked him what he was looking at.

"I'm just so proud of you and I love your strength and ambition"

Told you he's a weirdo
