Lust Of Fortune

Chapter17

Joelle POV
"Sully is cool, it's just Callum I don't agree with." I rolled my eyes.

"To be honest, I don't really know if I wanna date him anyways. He's nice though." She blushed a little.

"Look at her goin' all soft." I smirked then laughed.

"Shush!" She looked away and laughed also.

After eating in the cafeteria, we got up and made our way to our next class. As I was in my English class, I grabbed a piece of scrap paper and began writing. Writing about past experiences. From when I was younger, till now.

"Miss Hunter! What are you doing?" Mr Wills asked.

"Oh, just writing down notes, sorry I'll stop." I placed my pen down.

Looking at the paper that I had written on, I really liked it.

When I get home, I'm gonna expand on it. I'll probably make a story based about my life but I'll probably make up the characters.

"What you doing?" Jude asked me.

"Nothing, just finding a dress for Saturday. A dress that I can actually fit in." I told him.

"What you wearing?" I added.

"I dunno, probably all white too." He shrugged.

"Ah! Found the perfect dress, this one and I'm gonna go and buy tomorrow!" I grinned.

"Great." He got up from his wheelchair.

Jude has been walking for a while now and I'm really proud of him, I really am.

Jamal POV
"Yeah, she's having a gender reveal party on Saturday." Anastasia told me.

"Really? You know what she having?" I asked.

"I don't know stupid! That's why it's called a gender reveal!" She smacked her teeth and rolled her eyes.

"Whatever." I shook my head.

"Whatchu' hoping for?" Callum came over.

"I don't know." I shrugged.

"If it's a boy, I will actually feel sorry for Joelle. I can't even keep up witchu'!" Zoe scoffed.

"Fuck you!" I chuckled.

"If it's a girl, it'll be really sweet." Rebecca commented.

"Yeah, it really will but two babies on the way? Really?" I sighed.

"Don't worry about me for now. You gotta get to see the reveal party, you're the father!" Zoe rubbed my shoulder.

I shrugged and sighed.

Zoe POV
After chilling at Callum's, I went over to Warren's house.

"You cool?" He asked.

"Yeah." I smiled and gave him a hug.

"How's my baby?" He asked me as he placed his hand on my stomach.

"Good, what about you?" I sat down on his couch.

"I'm good too. I've been working lately. Been coming home late because of the shifts and stuff." He sighed.

"You told yo' homeboy that your pregnant?" He asked.

"Yeah, he knows it's yours." I nodded my head as I lied.

"I need to go now, I'll text you when I'm home." I smiled at him.

"So soon? Girl, you know I've been missing yo' ass." He pulled me into a hug.

"I know you have but I gotta get home, sorry." I told him as he frowned.

After leaving his house, I drove home.

Once I got to the front door, I quietly unlocked the door with my key. I crept to the bedroom but the lights switched on.

"Where you been?" I heard Jamal.

I turned around and saw him smoking a blunt.

I gulped.

"I-I was at my sis..ters?" I lied.

"I thought you said yo' sister lives in France?" He stood up and let out a puff of smoke in my face.

He put it out and placed it on the table.

"Where the fuck you been bruh?!" He pushed me against the wall really hard, causing me to fall down.

"I was at-".

"At where bitch?!" He screamed.

"I WAS AT WARREN'S HOUSE!" I screamed back.

"Don't fucking raise your voice at me..!" He said through gritted teeth.

He grabbed me by the back of my shirt and dragged me into the small coat room under the staircase.

Why has he changed?! I don't like this Jamal, I really don't!

SATURDAY
Joelle POV
"This is just perfect!" I rubbed my stomach.

I grinned as I watched myself in my beautiful white dress.

"Joelle, mama's he-oh my! Your getting bigger and bigger by the minute!" I heard my mom.

"I know!" I grinned.

She came over and gave me a really big hug.

"You know I love you so much." She kissed my cheek.

I love you too mom." I smiled back.

"Well, you ready to go down?" She held my hand.

"I'm sorta' nervous..I don't know if it's a boy or girl." I sighed.

"I was just like you when I was having Malachi too." She rubbed my stomach.

"Is daddy here?" I asked.

She closed her eyes lightly and shook her head no.

I covered my mouth and removed the flower crown from my head placing it on my makeup table. I took a seat on my bed and tears began to form in my eyes.

"How many times do I gotta say sorry?" I said.

"Baby, stop.." Mom wiped my tears.

All I just wanted for all my family to be here, that's all..
