The Preacher's Son

Flashback....

Coming home after school I was praying and hoping my mom wasn't home. All day at school I wasn't feeling well. I turn down my street I didn't see my mom car in the yard meaning she was probably still at work or just now getting off.

Once I got in the house I ran straight to the bathroom. Taking out the pregnancy test from my backpack, I read over the instructions then went on and did what it said.

By the time I was done I waited to get the result. I pray and hope it's a negative, I can't have a baby by him.

What would my mom think? She might kick me out and say it's my fault.

My timer went off letting me know it was time to check the stick. I pick it up and saw that it was positive, tears instantly start rolling down my face, I didn't ask for this.

Hearing the front door open letting me know my mom done came home. I roll the test into some tissue before putting it in my pocket.

"Ray I brought some food home" my mom said by the door.

"I'll be out in a minute" I splash some water on my face a few times before walking out the bathroom.

At this point I really don't know what I'm going to do.

"Okay all done hope you like it".

"Like it nah I love it, this is pretty" Juila said as she took a look at her new ink I just got done doing.

I've been getting plenty of clients once I start working. The money was rolling in fast and I was already getting ready to move in my new apartment in a couple of days.

Far as Drako I haven't really been seeing him which is okay with me. Hopefully I'll have all my things out the house by the time he decides to come home.

"I might get on more and that's it" Juila say.

"Yeah right, I said that once and look at me" I start cleaning my area since Juila was my last person for the day I was about to head out.

"No foreal seriously, but you still gonna come with me to church"?

"I don't yet I might have to work".

"On a Sunday Ray, who gets a tattoo done on that day"?

"I said I don't know yet, I'll give you an answer before hand. You should already know how I feel about going to churches".

"Ignore them folks, everybody is not perfect".

"True but I really don't have time for the whispering and watching me as I walk in the building" I grab my bag and keys heading out the building as I told my boss I was gone with Juila right behind me.

"Why are you so difficult Rayvn gosh" Juila began to whine, if only she the reason why.

"Are we throwing a bitch fit".

She end up folding her arms. "Yeah shoo, I want my friend to come with me to church and afterwards go get a good Sunday dinner from my grandmas house. You know I really don't ask for much of you Ray".

Swear she so extra did she really had to say all that. "Okay Ju, I will go with you Sunday and you can even pick me up" soon as I said that Juila had hug me so tight causing me to laugh as I hug her back.

"I love you girl".

"Yeah I love me too" I say smiling once she let me go.

"Not about to play with you, let me going I need to go stop by my job real quick. Call me when you get home".

"Will do" after we said our goodbyes I got in my car as well. I was going to make a quick stop at my mom house before I went home.

I can't believe I agree to go to church, hopefully everything goes well.
