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

Chapter Twenty-One

I had been ignoring everyone that wasn't Elise or my dad for the last three days. I stayed in my room, ate lots of broccoli and other steamed veggies I awkwardly had a craving for, and listening to music while watching endless episodes of Say Yes to the Dress with my dad.

Though he didn't understand why we were watching it, he could tell something was wrong with me, he just didn't ask.

Until today.

"How much can I spend on my wedding dress?" I turned to my dad. He chuckled, "I'm serious."

"You're only 17."

"Almost 18." I pointed out, "I just wanna know so I can explore my options."

"$5,000.. But if you absolutely love it, we can work something out. I don't wanna think about you getting married at the moment. You're my babygirl." he draped his arm over my shoulder. "How come you been avoiding Jacks?"

"I just haven't been wanting to talk to him. He talks to Ray and Craig and I just don't wanna deal with it right now. Just let me be sad and pregnant, please." I turned back to the tv and finished watching episode 5 of season 10. "That dress is ugly."

I had just got out the shower and was changed from my sweats and a t-shirt into some wind pants, tank top, and a oversized cardigan. I was so comfortable, it wasn't even funny.

I got my phone off my bed and saw I had missed calls from Ray, Craig, Jacks, and even Chres and Jacob.

I decided to call Chres back. I didn't know why, but he probably knew the least, and the least was good. "Aye, wassup youngin'?" I heard Chres answer after the third ring.

"Hey."

"You wanna tell me why you been avoiding us?"

"I'm ruining friendships." I stated and then climbing into my bed.

"That's what you think, huh?" he asked.

"Jackson wants to kill Ray, Ray's fighting Craig, Craig still likes me, and all of them are like bestfriend. And it's certainly not helping me and Raiva. All this stress isn't good for her, so I just stopped what I was doing, stood back, and just let everything try to fix itself."

"You're wrong." he chuckled, "they all love you."

"Yeah, please tell me more on how much Ray loves me right now. We hate each other at the least. But.." I sighed deeply, "he's the father of my child so at some point in time we're gonna have to be civil."

"That boy loves the hell out of you."

"So does Craig.." I pointed out.

"Ah damn. Craig's sprung as shit over you. Tell me, how you get half my niggas so sprung over yo ass?" I laughed, "I'm serious. Is it a female thing? Ya'll like got magical powers or something?" he made me laugh, one thing I loved about him. "I mean, I'm not gon deny you the whole attractive factor, but damn, is it something in the air?"

"I don't know." I giggled then sighed.

"Who do you want right now? Like as of right now?"

"Craig."

"Who do you love more?"

"I don't know. DId they put you up to this 21 questions thing?"

"Kinda."

"Well, tell them I said screw off. I've been avoiding them for a reason."

"You can't deny the fact that they kinda need answers. They're taking shots in the dark here."
