Ashya's POV
"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked Jameel
     " because I like you. "
" you like me? How old are we ? " I let out a chuckle
" I actually don't know your age, but I'm 18, and hey who says we can't still have crushes?" He laughed
        I sighed. Something felt wrong about this.. about me talking to him, about me trusting him. Something felt completely wrong.
          " I think you should go. "
I narrowed my eyes towards the door, in which Maria was standing staring at us.
   He looked up, and smiled at me.
" yeah you're right.. "
He stared at me and walked out.
" Ohhh you and Mr.Jameel have a thing? " Maria asked me, her accent was still heavy, but I liked how it sounded.
" no. We were just talking."
" okay, but be careful around Mr.Jameel. " she whispered and sat my food down on the side of the bed.

"Be careful around Mr.Jameel"

Why would she tell me that? He doesn't seem dangerous, but then again all men aren't good at all.. I've came to that conclusion due to my interactions with a few.

I figured it was time for me to tell them I was pregnant. If they kick me out so be it, but I'd soon start showing.. I mean I'm not far along, but it's better I get it over with now. Since I'm not really allowed outside of the room, I'll just wait for Mike to come in.

knock knock
"you can come in." I quickly responded
  Mike walked in and sat in the chair across from the bed.
" well you're quite happy today, you responded so fast. " he chuckled
I blankly stared at him.
" I have something to tell you.. "
His eyes stared into mine and he looked worried so I just said it.
" I'm pregnant. "
        That felt so good to get out. I've accepted the fact that there is a living organism growing inside of my body. That frightens me a little, but that's not the point right now. I finally told him, and I was worried to hear his response.
" how far are you? & who's the father?"
" the boy that sold me.. and almost 3 months. "
" wow.. I'm so sorry to hear, but why didn't you let me know sooner? We can have the home nurses come in and check on you and your baby. We can schedule in home appointments and checkups to make sure your baby is safely delivered before you get on your own feet." He smiled

         That was not what I was not what I was expecting him to say. I couldn't do anything, but stare at him. Like why is he being so kind to me? I barley know this man. His kindness is actually starting to scare me because I've never been loved or treated this way before. Every time things feel perfect, my life just falls apart. I can only pray that things don't fall apart in this situation.
         Mike and I talked for a while, and he went to his room. I shut the door and took a shower then laid on my bed. I sighed and wondered if my mom thought about me. If she was hurting knowing that I was taken by her drug dealers. If she even wondered what was happening to me. Or most of all if she reported me missing or anything. I doubt it though, and that breaks my heart.
        My whole life has been filled with hurt, and it all started because of my mother. I'll probably never know what true love feels like. Never. I sighed and fell asleep
