'I could wait for you forever, but that doesn't mean you're coming back.'

Keith POV

I thought I would be able to deal with everything life has thrown at me, but hearing that Laila is done with me broke my heart. I can't imagine life without her. Even if our distances seem far away I still love her. I mean, like what is my life without her? She was my best friend before we even got into a relationship. What was I to do at this moment? I'm gonna call her and explain myself.

Soon as I walked into my mom's house I was both scared and nervous. I feel like I'm gonna throw up. This pressure is too much. I thought talking to Sol before I left my house was gonna calm me down, but it didn't. I stood in my old room contemplating how I'm gonna tell her that she gonna have a grandchild. I wish this was easy. I looked in the mirror took a deep breath and walked downstairs. "Laila, come to the kitchen please." I heard my mom say. I walked in and I felt my mom's eyes darted at me. "Yes.." I dragged out the S. "Come sit." She said. I quickly sat far from her nervously scraping off my nail polish. "What's wrong with you?" She looked at me intensely.

I was trying so hard to calm myself, but I ended up throwing up right on the floor. "What the hell is wrong with you?!!" I coughed violently as I was trying to regain myself. "I..I..." I was trying so hard to spit it out but no words came ahead. "What is Laila??! Shit, spit it out!" I got up and walked out saying 'Fuck it.' In my head. I cleaned my face put some gum in my mouth and went to my car then drives off. I regret going to her. My kept hearing my phone ring, but I can't answer it right now. I parked in my driveway, grabbed my bag and speed walked in. I took my phone out my bag and saw Keith called me 3 times. Should I call him back? I might as well. I called him back and I slowly regretted it and hung up before he could even answer. I turned my phone off and lay on the floor looking at the ceiling.

Keith POV

I saw that she called me then hung up. What the hell did she do that for? I know she pissed at me, but damn least talk to a nigga. I looked at the time and I realized Ion got that much time to deal with this. I got a photo shoot to go to. I grabbed my snacks put 'em in my bag, walked out locking my door behind me then getting into my car then driving off. I'll deal with her later.

Tisha POV

I cleaned up after her nasty ass when she left my house. I can't believe she threw up on my damn floor. Wait a minute... Oh hell nah her ass is pregnant!

Sol POV

I can't believe this girl I can't stand here and pretend everything is gonna be ok. She needs to tell him! "Lay, what is you sayin'? You not gonna tell him about his unborn child?!" She looked at me with her head down. "Lay, please. You can't be serious. He needs to know, I know you're still upset about that fact he left you in the middle of the night, but this is gonna affect your child in the long run. Trust me, I know." She deeply sighed. I sat by her and wrapped my arm around her. "Lay, tell him or I will find him and tell him myself." "I'll think about it." I shook my head and looked at her. "Fine, Lay. Do you. I'm just tryna help cause you know I been there where you are at now. You think I wanted to get pregnant at 17 then married the father of my child all at the same time?? No, I didn't, but I did because I thought we was gonna be together forever, but we not. Ion want that with you and Keith, ok? Just take my words and let them sink in. I'll see you later." I kissed her forehead let go of her and walked out. Hopefully she take my words to heart.

Laila POV

After Sol left, her were was sinking in, but it's a lot to think about. How I'm gonna be guaranteed that he's gonna be there for me, for us? I can't let that happened. If he not gonna be here us now? How do I know if he gonna be there for us then? The pressure is slowly setting in again. Sometimes I wish my father was in my life, but maybe none of this would've happened. I slowly got up from the floor and picked up my phone and answered. "Hello?" "When you was gonna tell me?"

Short I know, but I'm working on the next chapter so hold up my loves.. and question do anybody knows what is Keith's mom name is?? If you do comment and let me know thank you! Love you so much!
