Love Me or Leave Me (Trilogy)

Chapter 4

"What are you doing here?" I asked confused. "Can I come inside?" I shook my head. "Not until you tell me why your here." August sighed. "Just let me inside ma, damn." I looked him up and down before stepping to the side. I closed the door behind him as he walked into the middle of my living room. "Are you gunna sit?" I asked walking towards him. He shook his head. "Nah, Im good, I shouldn't be here that long, hopefully." I frowned. "Why are you here to begin with?"

He took a deep breath and looked at me."I know this shit ain't none of my business, and I told Ariana it ain't none of hers either, but she still forced me to come over here." My frown deepend. "Why did she make you come over here?? We don't talk anymore." He nodded. "I know...but she wanted me to come talk to you as a friend." I sighed and held up my hand. "Okay, what is it? what does she want you to talk to me about?" August cleared his throat.

"She told me she ran into you today at the doctor's." I sighed once I knew where this was going. "August look, you don't have to-" He held up hand, cutting me off. "I drove all the way over here, shit,we might as well talk about it for a second." I sighed. "Honestly, I don't want to share my personal business with you, I'll pass." August nodded. "Fine, but answer one question for me." I motioned for him to continue. "Did you really get them abortion pills or nah?" I sighed and rubbed my temples. "So you did....Does your dude know?" I fanned him off and rolled my eyes.

"That's two questions and frankly it's not your business." August nodded slowly. "So you didn't tell him huh?" "I didn't even say that." August smirked. "Cut the bullshit Simone, I know you and I know when your lyin." I sighed. "Look, Im not talking to you about this, Im grown and I can do whatever I want." I walked over to my front door and waited for him to follow me. "Ight you right, Im just sayin, you need to tell that man first Simone, you just can't go off aborting people's babies without saying shit." I nodded and opened up my front door. August pushed the door and closed it. "So you gunna tell him right?" I sighed.

"Why do you care if I do or not?" "Because." He started. "I would be pissed if that was me." "Well it's not." I snapped back. "I know but shit, you can't keep shit like that away from him, he'll resent you forever." I let go of the door knob and turned around. "Look,Im not telling you what to do, it's your body and you gon do whatever you want with it, but all Im saying is if you do decide to take them pills, tell Trey or whoever it is, wassup first." I was silent. "Because if I ever found out somebody aborted my child without telling me first, there would be some serious issues."

I stood with my back towards him thinking about what I should do. I knew my time was running out in telling him the truth and if I didn't, I knew Trey definetly was. I took a deep breath and turned around. "Look, Ariana really had no reason to send you over here, Im not gunna take the pills." Augusts' brows shot up. "Forreal?" I nodded. "Ight cool, I mean, it's your first child and all...it deserves a chance at life." I nodded. There was a awkward silence between us for a second. I knew we were both thinking about the child we would have had together. "But." August started. "If you change your mind, all Im saying is tell him first, give him what you never gave me." He turned around and walked off to the door.

"Excuse me?" I asked following him to the door. "What did you say?" August sighed and turned around. "What I mean is, give him a heads up first, don't leave him in the dark." I frowned. "Are you saying I left you in the dark??" He nodded. "I had a miscarriage August, that's no where near the same thing as a abortion." He sighed. "I ain't come over here to talk about all that." "Then you shouldn't have brought it up. I lost our baby, I didn't abort it." He sighed again. "It ain't like you tried hard to keep it either."

I frowned deeply. "So your saying I did it on purpose." August shrugged. "Take it however you want, Im not about to get into this with you." I shook my head. "No, I wanna hear what you have to say." I folded my arms across my chest and waited for him to speak. "Ight. I think this whole scenario is you just being selfish again." I paused. "Again? when was I ever selfish?" I could feel mysef getting angrier by the second. "You completely ignored your health with our child, you didn't take care of yourself just because of what happened." I shook my head.

"So it's my fault that I was depressed?" August sighed. "No, Im just saying you were selfish for not putting our child's needs first, and now you were being selfish for trying to abort the child you got now for no reason." My eyes grew wide. "No reason? I would never do something that drastic for no reason, you don't know anything that's going on to even speak on it." August gave a stale face and put his hands in his pockets. "So what's the reason then Simone?" I was silent.

"Exactly, you know you don't got one, just admit that you were being selfish again and you changed your mind." I shook my head. "You know what." I started. "Ima let you have this one, yes, I was being selfish, and since you think that Im always being selfish, I'll just take this oppurtunity and lay everything out on the table, so nobody will be in the dark anymore." August frowned as if he confused. "Im three months pregnant, meaning I got pregnant around the time me and you were still talking." August was silent.

"I found out after Christmas and I tried to tell you that day I came to your house, but as usual, you were being the asshole you normally are." I stared at him for a second before speaking again. "Oh, and to top it all off, I slept with Trey a week before I slept with you, so right now Im not sure if Trey is the father, or if your the father." August looked at me in shock of everything I was saying. "...What?" I sighed and sat down on the couch.

"You heard me August." He stood in the same spot, trying to get his words together. "This is the legit truth?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah, since you claim Im always keeping people in the dark, I might as well come clean." He was silent for a second. "So when were you gunna try and tell me again?" I sighed. "Trey gave me until the end of the week, so I figured I might as well do it now." He took a deep breath and paced back and forth in my livig room. "Okay so if this is my kid, your tellin me I missed the first three months again, AND you were about to abort it?!?" I sighed. "I had a moment of weakness August, I didn't even go through with it."

He shook his head. "And what if you did???" I was silent. "After knowing what we been through with that miscarriage shit, for you to even consider abortion is beyond me ma." I sighed again. "Like I said I had a moment a weakness, I was just exploring my options." He shook his head. "You got the damn pills, it was passed exploring." He snapped at me. I took a deep breath before speaking. "Well Im sorry, but Im not gunna take them." I watched him shake his head and pace back and forth. "And there's a possibility that nigga Trey is the father? like really Simone??" I leaned back and rubbed my temples. "This is exactly why I was considering the abortion, I can't deal with all this."

He scoffed. "I can't take you right now ma." I frowned. "What does that mean?" I asked standing up from the couch. "This is to much shit to take in right now, I need a break from you." I frowned. "I just told you I could be possibly pregnant with your child and that's the first thing you say?" August shrugged. "What was I suppose to say? Congratulations? Not when that other nigga could be the father." I was silent. "If you need something from me concerning the baby, you can call me, but don't stop by unannounced, I need some to tell Ariana all this first." I frowned. "That's what your concerned with?" He turned around and walked to the front door. "Like I said, call me if you need something."

I stood there silent and watched him walk out the door. This was the exact reason why I didn't want to tell him. I knew his reaction was gunna make me upset. I locked the front door and laid back on the couch. Now that everything is out in the open, I didn't know what was gunna happen next.
