She's Too Young.. (A Ray Ray Love Story)

Chapter Seventeen

It was Wednesday.

I had cried all morning with Ray and I just felt like my life was falling apart. I didn't wanna go back with my dad. I loved him as much as any daughter would love their father, but I hated him so much right now.

He was making me leave someone I loved, and the father of my child.

It was 5:00 a.m. when I heard my father pull up in the driveway. I looked up from being cuddled under Ray and wanted to cry all over, but I was all cried out.

I kissed him, again and again until I heard Jackson open the front door, and even then I kept kissing him and holding him tight and telling him I loved him and I didn't wanna leave.

I heard my father call my name, but I still didn't want to get up.

"Abrial." he said again in that deep marine voice I'd heard all the time.

"I love you." I said and kissed him for the 50-11th time, "I love you so much."

"Stop crying, baby." he chuckled a little and wiped away my tears. "I love you."

"I just don't wanna leave you." I looked back at my dad and walked over to him, "don't make me leave him, daddy." I cried, "I love him, daddy.. I love him." I couldn't talk anymore.

He put his arm around me and sigh, and he knew he was breaking my heart, "c'mon Abrial. It's time to go."

"Daddy.."

"It's okay, Abrial.." Ray had his hand on my waist and turned me around, "listen to your dad. I love you, alright?" him saying that made me cry even more, but all he did was put his hand on my cheek and kissed me. I couldn't even kiss him back properly. I womaned up, wiping my tears and fixing my face and kissed him.

"I'll send you pictures when it's born." I smiled slightly.

"You better if you know what's good for you. Don't worry either, I got you." he winked a little and it made me smile and kiss him again. "I love you."

"I love you more." I kissed him for a really long time.

"Abrial, let's go." I heard my dad say again.

Ray gave me a hug and whispered into my ear, "lastnight was perfect. Gonna be hard not doing that for however long you're away from me." I smiled.

"Stupid."

"Stupid." he responded with a smile and kissed my forehead.

"Stupid" was our "Always"

"Thanks." I gave Jackson a tight hug.

"For what?"

"Trusting me and giving me the best summer of my life." I hugged him tighter, "I love you."

"I love you more Abby." he sighed, "I'll visit. I promise."

"Please." I hugged him tighter.

"We're gonna be late, Abrial."

"You're making me leave two people I love more than anything else in this world. Let me say goodbye." the look in his eyes was hurt, but I wanted him to know he was the reason I was so upset.

I walked over to Ray and hugged him, "sorry, I just can't let go of you just yet." I took in a big sniff of him and wanted to cry all over again, "I love you."

"Stupid." he responded and made me smile. "I love you more." I smiled, "give me one last kiss before I go." I looked up at his tall frame and saw him smile and pull me a little closer and kiss me ever so softly. So softly that I didn't want him to stop. Then I kinda felt like it was awkward to be making out with my brother's bestfriend right in front of him.

"Don't forget about me."

"Never that." he pecked my lips once more before letting me go.

My world was falling apart and there was nothing I could do about it but just stand in the background and watch.

I picked up my bags and left out the front door in front of my dad without saying a word to anyone. I put my bags in the back and got in the front seat and got my phone out.

I almost started crying when I looked at my lock screen of Ray and I laid up on the couch all cuddled up together in hoodies and sweatpants with Ray's arm just draped over my shoulders as I had my face in his chest because I looked horrid and just blocking my face from Jackson's phone.

Kinda summed up our entire relationship. But I loved it and I loved him and I was sad. It felt like my heart was aching.

"Babygirl..." I heard my dad say, "I love you so much, but this is for the best. You and the baby will be taken care of with me."

"Ray would have taken care of us. He took care of me and he took care of himself and his own family just fine." I snapped back, "you're ruining my life and my baby's life and when it wonders why daddy wasn't there for a while I'll just tell it 'grandpa'." I looked back at him and heard him sigh as he put his seat-belt on and backed out the driveway.

All I could think was, "hell, here we come."

It had been two months. And in those two months, nothing had changed a lot with me and my father. I talked to him more and understood where he was coming from but he should have trusted me, but trusting me was what got me into this mess.

I was excited that I was showing now. It wasn't a lot, but it was rounded and it made me kinda feel sparkly inside.

I talked to Ray pretty often, almost everyday but it was no doubt we were growing apart because of the distance. We were thousands of miles away and it was crazy to think our love wouldn't fade a little.

It was summer, which didn't mean anything, it was still pretty chilly. No hotter than 80 degrees.

"I'm going to a doctor's appointment." I was talking to Ray as I walked down the stairs, "Where are my shoes?!" I groaned.

He laughed, "How you feeling?"

"Feeling pregnant." I admitted.

"I saw the picture you sent me. You look amazing." I could hear him smile.

"You think so?" I giggled.

"Yeah. I can't wait til you know what it's gonna be. And don't tell your dad, but I'm tryna be there for the birth."

"Please do." I laughed to make myself not cry, "I miss you."

"I miss you more." he sighed, "I gotta go, but I'll try and talk to you later alright? I love you."

"I love you too." I said and hung up.

I walked into the kitchen to see my dad fixing lunch. "Who were you talking to?" he asked.

"Ray." I said, proudly.

"Oh."

"Yeah, oh." I said, finding my shoes, "I'm going to my doctor's appointment."

"Oh, let me come with you." he started wiping off his hands, "It'll only take me a minute to get dressed."

"No thanks." I looked at him as I walked out the door into the garage and got in my car.
