Jo'Siah's POV

It's been about two months since all that shit with Mari went down, we haven't talked about where we stand or anything, plus she and Damian been alright so I don't know. Not only is it the day before I leave but it's also Christmas day and Mari's 21st birthday.

I walked down the stairs to see Mari and Damian cuddled up on the couch, fucking clowns. I didn't speak to either of them, I just brushed past and walked out the door. I had to get some stuff for school still, I was gonna ask Mari to come but she been up Damian's ass these past months and I ain't trying to deal with it.

Even though I’m irritated with her I still have to get her the perfect gift. Then I remembered she always wanted a puppy, after I got my school supplies I went to the nearest animal shelter and found her the most cutest small dog ever! I decided to send her a quick text.

Mari 🙄💕: Have that nigga out my house when I get there. I got you a gift! Don’t piss me off.

It took me about a hour before I got home and when I walked in candles were lit and Mari was sitting in some sexy ass lingerie, looking edible as fuck. “What’s all this?” I asked her as I walked in further taking my shoes off.

“I have a present for you” she handed me a small box and I handed her the box the puppy was in. “Open mines first” I told her. When she opened it she lost her shit and even cried, I was happy she loved it.

“Open mines” I opened it and it was a positive pregnancy test. I thought she took the pill? I looked up at her and she was nervous. “You sure?” I asked her and she nodded. “What about Damian?” “I told him that we are over and he left”

I mean it’s not her fault it takes two, but I don’t want to miss out on 2 years of my first kids life! I’m happy but then again it’s too soon. “You should get a abortion” as soon as the words left my mouth she slapped me, grabbed her puppy and went to her room, slamming the door. Fuck!

Mariana's POV

I was all excited and shit to tell Jo'Siah and he had the nerve to tell me what he did. That shit foul. I'm not the type of bitch to abort a baby, the fuck, I'm not my sister. Same thing happened to my sister and her now ex-boyfriend before she had to leave for college, he told her the exact words Jo'Siah just did me, and she listened with no hesitation, she lucky I even claimed her after that.

I looked down at the puppy Jo got me and it was the cutest, playing with it kept my mind off shit, till he started knocking on my door.

"You love hiding behind doors huh?"

"Bro get the fuck from my door!" He pissed me clean the fuck off.

"Mari I ain't tryna have no kids right now, I gotta life!"

I got up and went to the door, keeping it closed for I really spazz out on him.

"HOW COULD YOU BE SO SELFISH, YOU GOT DRUNK, YOU FUCKED ME AND YOU THE ONE WHO DIDN'T USE A CONDOM, THIS IS YOUR FUCKING FAULT AND NOW YOU DON'T WANT IT, TRYNA PUT THE SHIT ON ME?" I broke down

"I thought you took the pill man?" It sound like he was crying.

"I DID, DON'T MEAN THAT SHIT GONE WORK!"

It was quiet for a moment, then he spoke again.

"How long have you known?"

"I just found out yesterday, I been feeling weird, throwing up and shit so I figured I take a test, it didn't exactly say what I wanted it to either"

"You know how many weeks?"

"No"

"What the fuck we gone do man?" He sounded so frustrated.

"You can do what you want, but I'm not aborting our child"

"You mean YOUR child!"

I swung the door open so fast, slapping the fuck outta him.

"The fuck you just say?" He real deal had me heated.

"Man how I even know it's mine?"

I brushed passed him and marched right into his room. I seen all his clothes and stuff out on the bed, waiting to be packed.

"Get your shit and get the fuck out" I ordered as I took all his clothes and threw them out the bedroom window.

"Bro what you doing?" He grabbed my arm.

"You wanna act like a little bitch Jo'Siah? Get your shit and get out!" I continued throwing his clothes out, along with his school supplies, and suitcases.

"How fucking dare you say some shit like that to me, me and Damian might have been good for a while, but little do you know all he been doing is beating on me, every time he tries to have sex with me, I tell him no cause after you, I didn't want him that way anymore...." I broke down. "But everytime I told him no he would get so mad and beat me and th-then he w-would .... I studdered over my words, "he would take it cause he thought he owned me, I tried to fight him off, I tried to tell you but I was so scared that he'd hurt me again, or kill me if I even attempted to tell anyone! He's been doing this since a week after the party, so your fucking right Jo'Siah, it may not be yours!"

Jo'Siah's POV

I couldn't even process what she just told me, we live under the same fucking roof, but because I been so busy being pissed off at her, I had no idea.

I tried to walk up to her and hug her but she pushed me away as soon as I did. She walked away from me and for some reason, I felt like that'd be the very last time. I sat on my bed and ran my hands over my face, this shit was too much.

I waited a couple minutes before going to check on her again, I walked to her room but she wasn't in there. I shouted for her, but there was no answer. I just happen to walk past the bathroom and I heard the water running so I knocked but there was no response. I looked down and seen a puddle of water coming from under the bathroom door, I swung the door open, and Mari was laying in the bathtub, unconscious, cuts up and down her wrist and blood everywhere.
