After I was done I walked to the bus stop and caught the bus. The bus let me off at the corner near Vince's house and I walked from there. I knocked on the door and he opened it smiling.
"Long time no see Phoebe." he said looking me up and down.
I felt like puking and it wasn't because of morning sickness.
"So what did you want to talk about?" he asked.
"I need you to do something." I said.
"What?"
"I'm pregnant and I want you to sign over your rights as a father."
"How do you know it's mine? You sleep around a lot."
"I'm only two months and I slept with you two months ago that's how I know."
"I'll sign over my rights if you do something for me."
"What?"
He pulled me towards him and kissed me. His hands travelled under my shirt and I pushed him away.
"I'm not having sex with you." I said appalled at him.
"Quit acting like that you know you want to."
"Vince let me go."
"Phoebe I missed you babe. You know Selena means nothing to me." he said pulling me into his house.
"I'm not falling for that."
"It's true."
"Vince just agree to sign over your rights."
"But I want a favor in return."
"I'm not going to sleep with you again. That was a mistake."
"You know you enjoyed it."
"I really didn't."
"One last time."
"No."
"Baby please I've missed you."
"You have Selena."
"No I don't. She cheats."
"And so do you."
"Phoebe just give in and I'll sign over my rights."
"No."
"Phoebe I'm losing my patience. Just say yes and let's get it overwith."
"Vince I'm never sleeping with you again."
His smile fell and he grabbed my arm dragging me upstairs to his room.
"Vince you're hurting me." I said clawing at his hand on my arm.
"I gave you a lot of chances to give in but you refused." he said.
I knew I shouldn't have come here alone. He slung me into his room like I was an object and I ran into his bathroom and locked myself in. I'm glad I didn't fall and hurt my babies. I wouldn't forgive myself if I did.
"Phoebe open this damn door now!" he shouted.
I took out my phone and dialled Johnny.
"Phoebe!" he yelled banging on the door.
His phone rang.
"Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up." I mumbled to myself.
"Phoebe what is it?" he asked.
"I need you to come get me." I whispered.
"Come get you? I thought you were at Braxton's."
"I'm not. Please Johnny? I shouldn't have come here by myself."
"Phoebe are you in trouble?"
I nodded then realized he couldn't see me.
"Yea." I whispered.
"Where are you?" he asked.
I gave him the address.
"I'll be there as soon as I can." he said before hanging up.
"Phoebe get out here now!"
"Phoebe!" a new voice called.
That sounded like Braxton. Did Johnny tell him?
"What are you doing in my house?" Vince asked.
"What are you doing harassing pregnant girls?" Braxton asked.
"What are you doing here?"
I guess he was talking to Johnny now because that's who answered.
"I came to save my little sister from you." he said.
I unlocked the bathroom door and ran towards Braxton.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have come here alone." I said crying.
"Shh Phoebe it's okay." he said rubbing my back.
"No it's not. I should've stayed home. If something would've happened I'd never be able to forgive myself."
"Let's go home."
I walked out in front of Braxton. I knew that he wanted to beat the crap out of Vince but he couldn't because that's one of his students. Johnny went back to work while Braxton took me home. Braxton was cooking while I sat on the couch.
"So why did you go over to Vince house?" Braxton asked sitting next to me.
"I went to get him to sign over his parental rights." I said.
"So he's the babies dad?"
"One of them."
"One of them?"
"Yea."
