More Than Friends?

Mariana's POV

It's been a week, but every morning I wake up always feeling guilt, not cause I did anything with Damian that night, but because I've been having conversations with him here and there, I felt like I was betraying Jo, I didn't ever want to hurt him. We haven't talked over the week but I know he's busy, so I'm giving him his space.

I got up out of bed and started to get ready, I have an appointment today for my 4 month check up, hopefully I could find out the gender so when I visit Jo in about a month I can surprise him.

I drove for a couple minutes before pulling up to my Doctor office. I felt so alone having to do this by myself but I had no choice. I walked in, filled out some papers, and waited to be called.

"Ms. Rivera?" A lady with a clipboard stood by the door.

"That's me"

"Well come on back"

We got inside the room, I laid on the table and she gathered some information from me before putting the gel on my belly. She turned the screen on and there it was.

"There is your baby!"

I instantly broke down in tears.

"Its so adorable and small!"

She moved around the wand and took different snaps of the baby. Getting every angle.

"Can you tell if it's a girl or boy yet?"

"Well hun, let's see" she clicked through the different pictures and stopped on one. She pointed out all the babies features. "Here's the feet, here are the legs, and in between there we have.... She zoomed in and continued to speak, "a penis"

I cried so fucking hard, not only cause I was having a boy but because I made another life with the most amazing man in the world, I couldn't wait to tell Jo'Siah.

The doctor handed me some papers, I scheduled my next appointment, and headed back to the house.

Jo'Siah'S POV

I haven't talked to Mari in about a week, she hasn't called me and I definitely didn't call her, I felt too guilty to talk to her. I can't believe I would do what I did to Mari, I was high as hell that day but that wasn't an excuse. Me and Aniya haven't talked about it either but I'm not gone lie we still real close.

Mari was gonna be here in about a month or so and I had no idea how I was gonna tell her this shit. I was such a piece of shit, I cheated on my fucking girlfriend, who was carrying my child. Smh.

I hopped out the shower and Aniya was sitting on my bed. Bro this girl was getting annoying honestly.

"Bro you ever be in yo own room?" She laughed like some was funny.

"Shut up bae" this bitch lost her mind calling me that.

"Chill that shit out, I gotta girl and it ain't you" I got in her face. She sat up and got in mine. "You got a girl Josiah?  You wasn't worried about her when yo dick was inside me. I slapped her ass.

"You better watch yo fucking mouth talking to me" I ain't no woman beater but this bitch had it coming. She got up, threw me on the bed and got on top me, holding my arms down.

"I like that rough shit Jo'Siah, you ain't know by now?" She started kissing me. I threw her off of me.

"Get the fuck out my room Aniya"

"Owe fiesty" she tried to grab on my dick. I pushed her down and slapped her again, getting down to her level. I punched a hole in the wall straight behind her head. "I said to get the fuck out" she got up holding her face, running out the room.

Aniya's POV

I can't believe Jo'Siah just did all that, I was playing with his ass but he got mad so fast. I ran to my room, locking myself in it. I've never been hit by no other man in my life other than my ex-boyfriend. When Jo'Siah hit me, it brought back memories I did not want to think about again.

I fell to the floor in a corner of the room, crying my eyes out. I started to actually like Jo, so him hitting me just scared the shit out of me. I had to talk to someone, so I called my sister. She was there when my ex started to hit on me so she knows how to calm my nerves. I was nervous to call cause she might not answer and I honestly needed her right now, to my surprise she answered right away.

"Hi Niya" she sounded so happy.

"Um Hi Sis"

"How's school going? Working hard? You gonna let me visit you soon?" I cut her off.

"Mari..." I started to cry.

"Yeah? What's wrong?"

"It happened again" I didn't have to say anything else, she knew exactly what I meant.

"Who did it Niy? Was it that Jason bitch" I didn't wanna give her his real name cause her crazy ass would try and find him so I made up a name.

"No it was the guy I'm seeing now, his name is Noah"

"Where he at Niya? Matter fact i gotta fly to Cali in a week, I'm coming straight to Maine afterwards" she still didn't know I wasn't in Maine anymore and I didn't want her to waist money on a ticket there, so I decided to tell her where I was.

"Actually sis I'm in Cali too, the college I was going to in Maine didn't offer the law program next semester so I transferred here"

"Since when you been there?"

"I just started this semester"

"Well good now I only gotta make one trip, matter fact I'm a see if it's a flight tomorrow, don't worry sissy, I'll be there soon and we can kill that nigga together" before I could reply she hung up the phone, I'm glad despite our differences we could still be there for each other, I couldn't wait to see my sister.

Jo'Siah's POV

I sat at my desk attempting to do my homework but my mind was full of different emotions. I felt bad I hit Aniya and I wanted to go apologize but fuck her. I stared at my phone debating on whether I wanted to call Mari or not, I needed to get this shit off my chest. I know it ain't something that should be done over the phone but I couldn't take the shit no more, as soon as I picked up my phone to call her, she was calling me. I answered right away.

"Wassup baby?" I tried to sound as calm as possible cause I swear my heart was beating out of my chest.

"Hi baby, great news!"

"What's up boo?"

"I'm going to come visit you a little early, actually I should be there by Wednesday, two days away!"

"Great baby, I can't wait" holy shit, I was literally fucked.
