Jordan POV
"Why you jerking the wheel so hard?"
Miah and I were on our way home from the restaurant. With the way he's driving, we might not make it back...
"Dude in the other lane swerving,"He muttered, making me sit my phone down in my lap and look over.
"You 'bout to run that light!"I yelled, making him slam on the brakes. "Are you okay?"
"I'm good."
"Stop driving like that then."
For a few minutes, he was doing good until he began to swerve into the other lane. "Maybe you should let me drive."I suggested. Yes, Miah and I had a drink or two to celebrate our new relationship but I didn't think it'd effect him this much. I was fine, I only had a drink and a half.
He didn't reply, just kept going. I kept a close eye on him and the road while texting Aleja back.
"This isn't the way home..."I pointed out. Usually we take a left at the light but he turned right.
"We bein' followed."
"How you know?"
"I know when somebody following me. Sit back and shut up. You throwin' me off."
"Sit back and shut up."I mocked. "Yeen 'bout to be talkin' to me any kind of way lil boy."I mumbled. He gave me a look.
"Now ain't the time for that."
I looked at the side mirror to see for myself. There were a bunch of cars behind us, I couldn't really tell if we were being followed. With God's guidance, we made it back home safely.
While Jeremiah was putting our Togo boxes in the kitchen, I raced upstairs to take my dress off. "Hey girl!"I greeted Babushka, caressing her backside. "Where's your brother?"Abel was nowhere to be found. A meow escaped from Babushka's mouth. He'll show up soon, I thought. I pulled my dress off and tossed it in the dirty clothes basket then pulled on a pair of Jeremiah's basketball shorts and a shirt.
Without brushing my hair back, I pulled my bonnet on my head and got in the bed. Five minutes later, in walked Jeremiah. "Where's Abel?"He asked me and I could do nothing but shrug. Another meow came from Babushka. She kept on all night, curled up on the carpet right by the bed. I tried to get some sleep but I woke up surrounded by a heap of sweat.
I turned over to see Miah up, on his phone. "Did you ever go to sleep last night?"I asked.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Ion know."
There was no sunlight coming from the window so i knew it was still dark out. It's only 4:03. I pulled the cover up on my shoulders and shut my eyes to try to get some more sleep before the sun rose.
Shivangi POV
"We got two weeks of school left, nobody's gonna even notice."I rubbed my face as I stretched. Of course, Nala was nervous about showing up to school pregnant. But she's not even far enough to where it's noticeable.
I put my school uniform on, did my facial routine then put on my favorite watch. Dad got it for me for my eleventh birthday so it's pretty old although I love it.
"Why don't you just untie them?"She asked, watching me force my foot down into the shoe.
"Wastes time."I replied just as I got my foot into the sneaker. I did the same with my other foot and took the bonnet off my head, releasing my wild hair. I didn't even bother combing it out, just brushed it into a sleek bun which is really hard for me considering I have 4c hair.
