After School

I waited for Patrick at my car. My right foot rapidly tapping the ground and my arms folded across my chest. How could he do that to someone? I don't get it. I know I wanted Anthony to stop bothering me, but Patrick gave him the message the wrong way. As I lean against my Audi, I saw Patrick approach me in a good mood.

"Hey babe." Patrick greeted as if he and Dustin never hurt Anthony. He leaned in for a kiss.

"No." I softly pushed him away.

"What the hell is your problem?" Patrick asked confused.

"I saw what you and Dustin did to Anthony, Patrick! Why would you guys ever do that? You know I grew a huge headache, cried, and even threw up today, because I was thinking too heavy about what you and Dustin did?" I yelled.

"You're the one who wanted me to handle this situation!"

"Yeah! By talking it out with him! I never knew you would do something like this to someone. Even Anthony."

"What, do you actually care for that nigga?! What is it? You like him or something?" Patrick yelled.

"Wow Patrick. Just...wow!" I say.

"Okay, I don't care anymore! Lets just go and get Owen from daycare." Patrick screamed. We both felt the same boiling emotion. I was so mad at him. I have to apologize to Anthony. I just have to.

We both got into my car and made our way to Owens daycare center. It was a quiet drive. I know Patrick didn't want to talk to me anyways, and I didn't want to waste my breath on him either. As soon as I parked in the daycares parking lot, Patrick quickly got out the car, not even giving me a chance to unbuckle my seatbelt. Patrick and I have been arguing a lot lately. It's becoming too frequent. I don't want to lose him again. Things are going to have to get worked out. I glanced out the window and saw Patrick exiting the building carrying Owen.

I pressed the 'unlock' button on the side of my door, and unlocked the back door. Patrick opened the door and strapped Owen in. "Hey baby!" I say, reaching back to touch him. Owen smiles and blows spit bubbles. Patrick gets inside the car and buckles his seat belt back. I start the car back up and headed to my house. About ten minutes later, I pulled up next to my mom's car in the driveway.

We got out the car and got Owen, entering the house right after. I swear I love Patrick so much. I don't want to be mad at him and I don't want him to be mad at me, but I know he is. In his mind, he thinks I like Anthony, just because I was worried about him. That shit doesn't mean anything.

The next Day

September 24th

Patrick's P.O.V

As I sit in my first block class listening to this boring teacher's mouth, the intercom comes on. "Patrick and Dustin Breeding report to the principal's office at this time. I repeat, Patrick and Dustin Breeding report to the principal's office at this time."

Aw shit. What do they want? The teacher excuses me and I saunter on down to the principal's office. When I made entry to the office, I saw Dustin sitting in a chair in front of the principal's desk. I sat down next to him in the seat parallel to his.

The principal turned his computer monitor towards us. "Will you boys look and explain to me what this is." The principal says in a serious tone before he pressed play to a video. When the video footage played, my body tensed up. It was Dustin and I jumping Anthony.

I rubbed my eyes and sighed heavily. The principal looked at us and folded his arms across his chest as he leaned back in his chair. "I can explain, sir." Dustin said.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no. There will be no explaining now. Because to me, it looks like you two are beating this student for I don't know what reason and I don't want to know the reason. Do you know this student  had to go to the hospital to get stitches and to see if his nose was broken? With this being said, you both are suspended for nine days." He said. "And that's final. You're lucky I'm not expelling you two."

Dustin and I sighed heavily. Fuck. The principal filled out both our suspension papers, filed them and sent us home.

Diamond's P.O.V

The office just called Patrick and Dustin over the intercom. I just know they're in trouble for yesterday. Is it wrong for me to feel that all of this mess is my fault? Should it be me to take the blame on everything that's happening? All these questions bombarded my mind while I sat in first block. After class, I went to my locker and texted Patrick.

Via Text Message

Diamond: Patrick what happened? Why'd they call you and Dustin to the office?

I waited patiently for him to text back as I got my books out of my locker for my next class. Then, my phone vibrated.

Patrick: We were caught on camera. We got suspended for 9 days. Oh well. What goes around comes around.

Damn. Nine days?That's what they get. I'm sorry, but not sorry.

After School

Diamond's House

I was laying on my bed watching, The Walking Dead, with Owen by my side when Tammy walked through my door. She had a smile on her face and it looks like she was recently crying. "What's up? Why were you crying?" I asked sitting up. Tammy sits next to me and places my hand on her stomach. My heart dropped.

"OH MY GOD! CONGRATS!" I said aloud trying not to startle Owen. "Oh my God! How far long are you? Does Dustin know?" I showered her with questions.

Tammy laughed. "I just found out today. I took a pregnancy test and the results were positive. I don't know how far long I am and no, Dustin doesn't know. I want to wait until his birthday. You know it's coming up in a couple of weeks."

"How are you gonna break it to him?" I asked curiously, smiling from ear to ear.

"I wanna put an ultrasound photo on his cake, so when he opens the cake box, he'll immediately know."

"That's a great idea!" I screeched in a high voice. Dustin is gonna be so excited!
