Growing Up Together(EDITING*)

Chapter 17; Sister Bonding

[ T O N Y ]

Ever since that little situation when Carmen ran out the house, things got waaaaaaay better. Sometimes she still got a little upset and sad, but it never stayed for to long.

Another thing that changed was the sex. We had less sex now, and I wasn't really to stressed about it. The reason why is because Carmen says she doesn't want another baby right now, and neither do I. So, we just decided to hold off on sex for a couple of months. We only did it if we really needed too, and even then, we used condoms and Plan B pills !

Stephon was my life, and I loved my little man, but it's what god wanted. He made me and cammy realize that we still have a life to live ourselves. We didn't need to worry about a baby just yet, we were still babies ourselves. So really, I thank the big G up there himself for teaching us this lesson. I do agree that the lesson was a bit of bullshit, but god works in mysterious ways. Never know anything behind his motives.

But back to Carmen, I'm really proud of the progress she's been making. It hurts to see the woman you're in love with hurting. That shit hurts me and I can't take it when she all choked up and I'm okay. But like I said, everything is much better now.

The only thing that didn't change was Carmen avoiding Sasha. I could understand that she was still jealous and hurting, but avoiding Sasha wouldn't change the situation at all. I sighed and looked up towards the ceiling, taking my eyes away from the screen.

Cammy was playing Grand Theft Auto and was actually doing pretty good. I never met not one girl that liked video games, and that shit was fye. I liked girls that were different, and that's why I'm glad I wifed up Carmen. She's not my girlfriend anymore, she's my beautiful wife, and was the mother of my deceased child. I swear on my life I will protect her with everything in me.

"Baby." Carmen clicked start on her controller and turned around to look at me. Her doe brown eyes glanced at me in curiosity, and I smirked. Still as beautiful as she was when she was 17.

"You know you gotta talk to Sasha right ?" Carmen sighs and knows what Im about to get into, so she turns the game off and turns her body towards me. "Tony we already talked about this. I'm not ready to be around Sasha yet." I shook my head and frowned.

"Carmen that's ya damn bestfriend, she been through everything for you and you gone treat her like this ? What type of female does that make you ?" Carmen started getting defensive and crossed her arms, giving me a nasty ass scowl. "I don't care Anthony. I already told you why I can't do it. You can't force me to do shit."

I shook my head and gave an ironic laugh, standing up and walking to my door. "You know what's fucked up ? If sides was reversed, you know Sasha a do anything for you. Wether her baby died or not. You know you wrong, and shit if you wanna avoid Sasha ? I'll avoid you too. You need to get the fuck over yo self man."

What I said was harsh as fuck, but it needed to be done. I cared about Sasha, almost more than I cared about anyone else. She's my fucking other half and I'll do anything for her lil ass. What can I say, I love her.

I walked down stairs and looked around for my Ma. Staying here for a couple weeks felt good as hell, and being home never made me happier. But, it was time for a new spot. Can't stay with mama forever.

Plus, I needed to get into me and Carmen's college shit and sort things out so that our credits could be transferred. We'd have to reapply to different schools, but we smart as shit. I know we can get into just about any school we want.

I sat down at the living room table and placed the laptop on it. Welp, time to do some adult shit.
