Confessions of a Drug Dealers GF

Chapter 17

I spent all of New Year's Day with Momma and my brothers. Everybody, except Quan was speaking to me. I really don't understand why he thinks I would trap Dj. He's supposed to be my brother, MY family, if anything he should have my back and not Dj's. I'm on another 3 way call with NaNa and Jayla talking to them about how Quan's been acting.
"This time, I agree with you. If anything Dj trapped you. Like you're the best thing that happened to him so he gets you pregnant so he can always have you in his life. And he knows you not fenna kill the baby. Niggas. Young niggas."
"That's any nigga, young or old Jayla."
"No, it's not Nahja, Joe isn't like that."
"How did this become about you and that goofy ass old man?"
Here they go. I don't even know why I set myself up with these phone calls. They argue even when they agree with each other.
"Dj didn't trap me. Y'all didn't see his face when he found out. He looked terrified."
"He's a great actor." NaNa says. "Acting like he wasn't a drug dealer for four years."
"True. When is his court date anyways?" Jayla says.
"Thursday."
"That's when we go back to school. Who goes back to school on a Thursday any damn ways."
"Yeah I know." I say. "I may come late, if I come at all."
"Nervous?" NaNa ask. As hell. Never knew I had so many nerves.
"Yes."
"It's okay." Jayla says. "Even though we get on each others nerves, you know we'll never turn our backs on you." Now I remember why I loved her. She was aggy as hell but she was loyal and I know she always wanted the best for me.
"NaNa, I'm sorry for what I did with Sway, heat of the moment type thing." That was such a lie.
"It's cool, she's not my girlfriend. So what new charm did you get?"
"Yeah! And what we doing for your birthday tomorrow?!" Jayla says.
I tell them about the tree and what it meant. I decided to go to Magionno's for my birthday. Just a little dinner with my friends since I was pregnant and only turning 18, I wanted to go to a hookah lounge but that was before I found out I was going to be someone's mom.

We're all sitting at a table at Magionno's, talking before the food gets there. It's me, Jayla, NaNa, Marlon, JonJon, Dj, Sway ... and Simone. I promise, I've never knew that you could feel when someone stabs you in the back. What made her think it was okay to bring this bitch around us? SHE CANT FUCKING SIT WITH US! After today, I'm done with Sway, she used me because she knew I was vulnerable. Fuck her and her rat ass girlfriend. She's not going to ruin my day with her bullshit. Besides her, all my friends were here and I got to spend one last birthday with Dj before we know if he's going to go away forever. I'm having a conversation with Jayla about people wearing their Christmas clothes on the first week of school so I didn't noticed NaNa staring me in my soul.
"Excuse me Strizzy, what is that shinning on your left hand?!"
I forgot to tell them Dj proposed. I forgot to tell them I said yes.
"Dj asked me to marry him at the peach drop." I say. Everybody was congratulating us, except Sway and Simone. Hating asses.
"My nigga!" Marlon says. "Me and NaNa next." We all laugh.
"Sway, ain't you happy for them?" Jayla asks.
Our food comes before she can answer. Dj squeezes my leg and kisses me on the forehead. He noticed my leg shaking. We never spoke on the situation that happened with me and Sway, and at this moment I wanted to go back in time to stop myself.
"You not gonna answer?" NaNa says. She doesn't have to.
"Ain't we too young for marriage and shit?" Sway finally says. Bitch.
"But its Strawberry and Dj, not the rest of us, we been knew they was getting married." NaNa says.
Jayla sucks her teeth. "You just mad he beat you too it, don't be a hater, that's supposed to be your friend."
"Nobody mad, I got what I wanted." Sway says. Simone laughs. Dj's jaw clenches. Everybody gets quiet. I'm shaking. I am livid.
"Yo, you hella disrespectful g, don't do my cousin like that. Like you know damn well you wanted to be with her g. Don't be hurt and shit." NaNa says. I'm shaking so hard, I can't believe she really said that shit.
"Strawberry Swirl, you good g?" Marlon ask. I turn to Sway.
"You can get your food Togo. You and your bitch can leave, don't ever speak to me again. Fuck you."
